There are two types of underwater crops, Reefpods and Coralcreep. Since underwater crops require extra effort, their sell price is also somewhat higher than most open-air crops. It is possible to have an underwater garden, and these also require a hoe to make underwater blocks tilled.

Tilling soil has another effect: it eliminates the possibility of monsters spawning on those blocks. The top of the tilled block must be watered surrounding the sides and bottom with water will have no effect.Ībove-ground crops require open air above the tilled dirt blocks, and if too much water accumulates, the crops will be destroyed, dropping only 1 crop seed each regardless of growth stage. Your plants will grow no matter where you are in the universe (you can even grow them on your ship).Ĭrops can be grown on any color of dirt that has been tilled with a hoe, then watered by using a watering can (either a Wooden Watering Can or a Painted Watering Can), Matter Manipulator-collected Water or Healing Water (but not Swamp Water), fallen rain (as long as it is not physically blocked), or a sprinkler. You will know that a crop is harvestable because it will become highlighted when the mouse cursor is floating over it.

Crops are plants that grow wildly and can be cultivated for food and resources.Įvery crop type has its specific growth times and stages.
