Obtaining
Wild Crops
Crops spawn randomly in the wild, with each individual type spanned out over an 8x8 chunk grid. This means the player will have to explore quite some distance in order to gather every single type of crop. Wild crops only generate between the seasons of Spring and Late Summer, and have a chance to regenerate during those seasons every year.
Seeds
Harvesting a crop will always drop at least a single seed, as well as increase the player's agriculture skill. The higher the player's agriculture skill, the more likely that a second seed will drop as well, allowing for farm expansion.
Crop Types
Planted crops mimic real life in how long it takes for them to grow before they can be harvested. Note however, that these values have been scaled to fit within the length of a TFC year which by default is only 96 days.
¹Bell Peppers can be harvested/picked both when the pepper is immature: green, and ripe: red or yellow. ²Growth is not affected by temperature above 4℃. ³Very sensitive to the cold. Can die at temperatures below 5℃ (sugarcane: 12℃) .
