My pleasure! 😄 I’m kind of addicted to making garden layouts with the Palia Garden Planner 👀

does planting 1x blueberry seed occupy 4 squares automatically? or do i need to plant 1x blueberry seed on each of those 4 squares?

mining everything you can generates a lot of gems. even just plain stone nodes can have quartz, 200 a piece. 3 villagers love quartz.

#

this way you can afford the 5000 gold upgrade of your bag pretty soon as well.

#

and mining is important, you want to mine palium later on and once you have passed level 10 you can just buy palium bars from hodari with guild medals.

Thanks, lads. I'll follow your advice.

Imma try this one! (at least there are only 4 (3x3) slots I have to attend to (but if you can recommend simpler ones that would be much appreciated))
I used to do all tomatoes which I find so simple and good for me
then tried other layouts from this thread which didn't work for me ~ (because of replanting)
Thanks for this Kwatsu!

Too bad it's difficult to include wheat and corn without leaving at least one behind to be non-water retained/unweed protected.

Hello everyone. Any good farming plan to make good preserve jars? I want to make it my main income. Thanks.

Have you considered 5 apple trees chapaachuckle

wary finch
#

I'm not going for apples again, much too cumbersome handling imo.

#

basically I have 9 blueberry bushes and 5 peppers

im working on setting up this

and just never picking the wheat/rice

if you wanted to have 100% water retention with apples but also wanted to include some blueberries to make celebration cakes:

#

slowly waiting for the weedplot to get weeds XD

wary finch
#

cool, I didn't think of those planters to be used as garden deco

dusty kayak
#

enjoy XD

gaunt aurora
#

can you show the yield numbers as well to compare them to other configurations rather than just the pattern itself

dusty kayak
#

tbf the websites calculations are very rough estimates and depending on a lot of variables you can be making much different numbers, then there's gold in general but also gold per hour, it's a little hectic

gaunt aurora
#

on your 6 apple tree pic, why do you have rice and wheat for the middle row?
if you replaced it with a tomato and potato row youd keep the same amount of apples but have 4 trees water retained

dusty kayak
#

it's just the weedplot strat, it's purpose is to be easy to handle and get apples that's about it

#

i am switching to it because i am getting lazy in my old age /hj chapaachuckle

gaunt aurora
#

same amount of apples with less watering seems even easier to handle no?

dusty kayak
#

whats the point in like that small of less watering (ignoring the fact the layout is using hydrate fert)

#

i dont really mind watering the trees anyways they're just trees and the exquisite watering can waters more then one at a time and pretty fast

gaunt aurora
#

opens it up to quality fertilizer for anyone whos gardening level is too low would be the only thing i can think of (outside of the tomato/potato being good for other recipes)

dusty kayak
#

well yeah sure but that's for another scenario nod_cat

#

one could edit it that way sure chapaathumbsup

clear kindle
#

by the time people get to having 6 apples trees, quality boost is irrelevant because more than likely you're already getting more starred than not. you can easily change the pattern depending on what you want with the layout. the wheat/rice/corn will grant a larger yield and you spend money on the water retention fertilizer. on the other hand, you can use the tomatoes and potatoes for water retention but at the cost of needing to get the hypergrow fertilizer from the worm farms. which means that you would be putting the apple jams most likely into worm bins to get 16 harvest boosts every hour

#

im curious, is there any reason to hold onto ⭐ cotton?

dusty kayak
#

thats good to sell

heavy mist
#

Yeah that's what i figured since making fabric out of regular or star cotton doesnt change the quality of the fabric

dusty kayak
#

right right

#

though at some point most if not all of what you make will be starred so you are kind of forced to downgrade for making fabric in that sense

If they're right about the "only 9 weeds can exist in a plot" then would this technically work?

Or do the weeds cancel out the plant's ability.

vernal bluff
#

I’m back with more crazy designa ahahaha. So it’s super easy to create a plot with 7 harvested apples and a bush. Example: https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-1111111-0011000_CROPS-AAAAAAAAA-WAACrAAWAA-AAAAAAAAA-AWAACrAAWA-AAAAAAAAA-AACrAAWAACr-AAAAAAAAA-BBWBBCrNNN-AAAAAAAAA

But I wanted to do 2 bushes, but no matter how hard I tried there is a non harvested apple, sharing it anyway ahahahaha:

#

why are people trying to actively grow weeds? genuine question not sarcastic

valid plank
valid plank
#

The bug can be avoided by being on plot and online for a growth cycle. But say your crops are a day from harvest and you leave or logout for a tick, they'll reverse.

#

You can workaround it by being on plot and online until a replant and just biting the bullet.

#

Otherwise, I'd say weed plots have become quite a pain since the switch patch

valid plank
#

Now your crops will grow in reverse once 9 weeds consistently exist instead of progressing as intended. And I don't see S6 fixing this as utilizing weeds this way is technically an exploit and not intended gameplay

#

Hope I explained that in a way that makes sense. I utilized weeds for most of my garden layouts and I did try to warn people that they no longer work but people still try lol

#

@dusty kayak You should probably warn people, I know you discuss my weed plots with people here and there ;-; they sadly bork

dusty kayak
#

i do often mention it for sure LOL

clear kindle
#

now, what if you did the weed plot, but only allowed 8 weeds to be on that plot? set up how you have described, but once the 9th weed shows up just pick that one?

#

does it still grow normally?

#

Sharing my plot layout because it has been doing wonders for me. Takes a little bit to learn but it's pretty easy after a few times. You don't have to add the weed resistance fert if you don't mind pulling weeds but I find it works best if you use water retain on the four spaces that are not protected by potatoes or tomatoes. I periodically switch out the blueberries to peppers as my stock lowers (I primarily live off the Chili Oil Dumplings as it is the easiest to make on my own) but otherwise the rice/wheat goes into worms, all the other veggies/fruit get preserved, and the two cotton can be switched out for rice if you have enough fabric: https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-111-111-111_CROPS-P.WTP.WRO.WCoP.WTP.W-C.WCrC.WPTPRC.WR-P.WTP.WCoO.WRP.WTP.W-O.WBBRBBP.HpO.WR.Hp-A.WA.WA.WA.WA.WA.WA.WA.WA.W-BBRBBO.WO.HpRP.Hp-O.WCrC.WPT.WPO.WRC.W-PTPRO.WRPTP-CCrO.WPT.WPC.WRO.W

and since I can harvest even with weeds on the crop, there's no real negative impact on it.

Weeds prevent growth if not picked on a crop that isn't fully grown yet, the same as not watering.

#

I've been able to harvest my apple trees with weeds. I have to pull the weeds first, and then I can harvest.

That would be because the weeds grew on harvest day.

If the weeds grew day before harvest day and you didn't pick them the tree wouldn't progress.

Not with my style of spending multiple in game days away from my plot to go farm iron/Palium. That makes my farm look lopsided so this is what I CURRENTLY run. (Can't figure out a way to get the center ones with weed protection without constantly adding fertilizer)

weed prevention is good for if you hate weeding in general, but it doesn't raise the money you could be earning.

if the economy wasn't so bad in the game (struggling with money at the beginning of the game for new players like me), then I would personally consider weed prevention. but due to the economy, I have my mind on making as much money as possible.

My observations of offline gardening.

  1. Garden growth is at 6:00am
  2. If you are logged in any time past 6:00am, the next days growth will occur at the state the garden is at 6:00am next Palia day.
  3. If you DO NOT log in post 6:00am since a growth cycle, no further growth cycles occur.

Please correct me if I am incorrect.

# willow void for gold

My go to automatic gold farm (aka doesn't need your input at all) currently is this.
However replace the center wheat with another apple tree.
(If you do have apple trees available, since you can get them from quests quite early-ish)

robust thistle
# valid plank

The note about watering the weed plot, can you make your weed plot from potato and tomatoes so they water themselves or do the weeds disable their abilities?

valid plank
#

The moment 9 weeds exist the bug is triggered. Even picking the 9th weed won't get rid of the bug, you'll have to weed all the weeds to fix it. I'm currently only allowing 7 weeds to be on my separate weed plot, and accepting that I have to weed hopefully only once a day*

#

Honestly it's probably easier to just pretend weed plots no longer exist.

robust thistle
#

So the weed plot can't water itself?

valid plank
#

You don't need the weed plot to do anything, the crops won't grow once they have weeds on them anyways. They're sacrificial crops.

robust thistle
#

Yes understood but if watering them fixes the bug

valid plank
#

But yes, they can water retain, the only requirement to have a weed plot was weeds.

robust thistle
#

Can't you make your weed plot out of potatoes and tomatos?

valid plank
#

Watering no longer fixes the bug. That was a prior bug

robust thistle
#

Oh

#

Darn okay

#

As of switch launch, 9 weeds will cause your crops to grow in reverse

#

Unfortunately I don't think they will fix either, as it is technically an exploit :P

this shows the beauty of S6 crops design, it isn't mandatory to go for blueberries or apples, a profitable garden is achievable as well with more common crops (sometimes those yield even better profits in a shorter amount of time).

Some layout I came up with today that gives an apple tree and a blueberry bush with all buffs while also being 100% watered and weeded. Definitely not the best money and definitely not perfectly optimized but it was fun to put together. Also has a decent balance of most crops.

@frosty ginkgo Ask away 🙂

frosty ginkgo
#

So when it comes to what to sell and not to sell as someone who has no preservatives machines, what do I sell or keep?

#

Like do I sell the regular crops and keep the quality ones for seeds?

unreal tangle
#

Keeping quality crops for seeds is a good idea as it will help you get 100% quality seeds. I'd say only keep what you need for seeds and sell the rest if you have no intention of using any of your crops for cooking/preserving.

#

Preserving jars will increase the value of any of your crops by 50% which is a great way to make money.

frosty ginkgo
#

I don't have perserving jars yet XD

You'll get them pretty quickly though. Farming levels up fast once you get a decent layout going.

I didn't focus very much on gardening until now. I am more using it now to get money since I feel I am always out XD

Okay. I realize I hoard so much in games because I don't know what I need so I was trying to save up on gold for the copper storage box XD

#

With fertilizer you can add 2 of them on the same square right?

unreal tangle
#

Afraid not, you can only use 1 type of fertilizer on a square at a time.

#

Using a different type on the same square will return the old fertilizer back to you.

#

But you can stack several of the same type of fertilizer on 1 square if that's what you're asking 🙂

harsh rampart
#

You can however stack effects by using a crop with an effect on other plants, then putting the fertilizer with the effect you want on that plant.

ah gotcha thank you

echo hedge
#

the purple squares are the best of each crop catergory. The "sell" is the figure you want to look at, that is how much gold you'll get from selling. I also listed the "normal" crop figure, and "star" figure, just because I know cotton star shouldn't be used as fabric. Also, and I double checked, but corn normal quality has no difference in sell price when made into seeds or jars!

#

I also put the amount each crop makes as seeds, for normal and star, because like the apple crop uses 10 apples to make 1 seed. I also did a sort of "top" list of top selling crop, seed, and jars for normal and star.

frosty ginkgo
#

Thank you so much. I get so confused on what to sell and not to sell. Does "star" cotton sell for more than regular or no?

#

I get so confused whether to sell it or make more seeds

echo hedge
#

cotton star sells for 67g, but the cotton star seed sells for 90g

frosty ginkgo
#

so use the star cotton I get to turn into seeds and then sell the seeds?

echo hedge
#

yup

frosty ginkgo
#

Okay! So in hindsight, use normal cotton seeds use a quality fertilizer to make them star turn those into seeds and then sell?

echo hedge
#

oh, when it comes to crop plans, I'm a mess with that. Hopefully others would know a good setup with cotton in it. I have emphasized water retention and weed proofing with my crops

frosty ginkgo
#

lol

#

It's all so complicated

echo hedge
#

but flexible too. if you think you will want lots of fabric, or need certain crops for things, it's ok to make up your own setup. There's also other recipes too, so I want to build up blueberries for cakes

#

and there's no rule that says you can't rotate the setups. I'm thinking if like doing one setup for a whole evolution of apple trees, then changing it up when it's all needing replanted

I am more at the moment trying to make money so I can buy more stuff for my house along with upgrading my chests.

it's a crop planner, it will show how much money you make overall, plus if you want, a day by day look. The crop boosts % at the bottom, it even has options to add fertilizer to squares

@echo hedge This may not be optimal but this is what I use to get 100% water retention and weed prevention. You only get 2 squares for whatever you want (cotton in the picture) out of 9 but everything is watered and weeded so it's fire and forget until harvest time.

Is anyone doing a unique garden plot layout where you don't pick anything else but your focus fruit/veggies? Right now, I'm only harvesting apples and whatever I plant in 6 empty slots in the center (I'm doing cotton atm) so it doesn't affect all the boosts for my apples. I'm not too money focused.

# nova yoke Is weed prevention really not that much of a priority?

Plenty of people like to manually pull weeds themselves for the extra 10g a piece. Since it's just a button click, it's less work to do than manually watering. Also it's not consistent that a plant will get weed w/o the buff so it's valued much less than water retain

Removing weeds allows for crops to continue growing according to palia wiki, so yeah. But I read in Reddit that there’s a max limit to growth? I’m not sure. When I started, I kept on collecting weeds to complete the Weed Whacker accomplishment and totally forgot about weed prevention. 😅

nova yoke
#

Oh I thought it just prevented the growth of the plant entirely.

#

Oh I know water retain is amazing but I meant replacing weed prevention with the harvest boost.

olive crypt
#

I prefer harvest boost vs weed prevention so I can get the most of each harvest. And weed is easy to pick like Aisen said. 😊

I played around with the planning tool more seriously for the first time today and am excited to test this out as soon as I get my first apple seed 😄 now onto finding a solution for what I have available now. I have a setup for the middle if there isn't an apple tree as well and I want to rotate the wheat for rice and corn as needed.

thick whale
#

Was just messing with this to finally plan around my one (1) new apple tree seed and came put with something not terribly different

#

No cotton, but growth boost for apple and blueberries, and potatoes are the only crop that isn’t either all growth boosted or none, so they’re they only one that’ll have a weird staggered harvest (or I’ll wait an extra day and do them all at once, more likely)

#

Onions take a little longer than carrots iirc so maybe I should switch those places

Alright

dusty kayak
#

You can get them from a reward for 2 different character's level 3 friendship quests ||Zeki or Naio|| then you can make more from there via seed makers

#

you can also obtain an apple from something coincidentally, then you can request apples from someone and make a seed from there

#

you can also randomly get an apple seed from the zeki gacha

Hey y’all i’m a newbie Palian and find things a little bit overwhelming so stuck in finding out the maximal and best layout for my current level 14 to max out gold making. I have blueberries and have yet to unlock apples.

Could anyone send me a screenshot of a layout they’ve use with no apples yet where it has blueberries, tomatoes, potatoes, wheat, etc? Thank you so much!

I use this garden layout currently (with my 2nd character at level 12 gardening), you can easily exchange some of the rice for wheat and/or corn and those potatoes with tomatoes, if you like those more. My layout isn't 3x3 and it has a shifted 9th plot, by optical reasons, I like my garden shaped like this https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-11111-11111_CROPS-P.QBBRBBSp.QSp.QSp.Q-R.QB.QB.QPB.QB.QSp.QRSp.Q-R.QB.QB.QPB.QB.QSp.QRSp.Q-R.QB.QB.QPB.QB.QSp.QRSp.Q-NNNNNNSp.QPR.Q-Sp.QSp.QSp.QRBBP.QBB-Sp.QPSp.QRB.QB.QP.QB.QB.Q-Sp.QPSp.QRB.QB.QP.QB.QB.Q-Sp.QPSp.QRB.QB.QP.QB.QB.Q-Sp.QB.QB.QRB.QB.QNNN

when reaching gardening level 25, is SpeedyGro fertilizer important? if so, what exactly is the benefit. I heard it gives an additional harvest cycle, but chances are that is not true.

That's why I would like to ask everyone here. What exactly does SpeedyGro Fertilizer do and is it beneficial when reaching Gardening level 25? if so, how?

personally, unless you want to make fabric instead of buying it, get rid of the cotton either a potato or more wheat. by the time you have blueberries and apples, you should be at a spot where you are getting mostly star crops anyways and turning those star crops to star seeds to replant that also probably gives you 100% water retention

Weeds just prevent growth,

I made the same experience as @clear kindle, weeds might mess with boost effects of a plant, if you don't remove them - I missed to remove one on a spicy pepper and that pepper didn't quality boost at least that crop adjacent to the weed patch, I don't know, if other crops were effected by it though.

Does anyone have a good layout specifically for harvesting apples 🍎

I just finally got my hands on a seed and planted it, but am not sure if I should just be putting potatoes and cotton and things alongside it to give it hydration, boost, weed protection etc and use harvest boost fertilizer or what

If there is an ideal method, please let me know!!

@warm rampart - you can request a bunch of 3x apples through the requests tab and then use 10x apples in a seed maker to get your hands on a seed to grow your own indefinitely!

To request an item, you must have first had an item. Which is annoying.
You can (extremely rarely) get the seeds from the Lucky Coin gacha thing, but... yeah.
Friendship quests are the usual way, and then farming tokens if all else fails.
Then your first few crops will be stuffing them right back into the seed maker to make more.

I guess it's so you can't just ask for palium bars and flow wood on day one...

Saw someone mentioning looking for cotton above and got distracted. No water retain or weed prevent, but if you simply need as much cotton as you can get in as short a time as possible...this might be the best? 5 ingame days and the fields are clear to go back to what you usually plant. Probably just toss on a ton of water retain fertilizer and take your chances with weeds.

In my mind it is unwise to go for a low maintenance garden with long lasting crops at start. You gain experience from harvesting, so any garden which delays a harvest or where crop takes a longer time to grow first, will lead to slower experience gain. This isn't a problem with higher skills, because you have more valuable crop in large amounts in your garden, which provides enough experience, but as a new gardener, it is better to stick with simple quickly growing crops, where you can harvest something every day.

Actually...I don't think you can go faster with fertilizer. 81 spaces using a piece of SpeedyGro each real life hour when the only reliable source is from fruits which you wouldn't be growing when using this layout...

A layout with focus on blueberries and spicy peppers, 100% water retain and descent harvest boost:

wary finch
green zinc
#

Hopefully I can get some clarity on how the harvestboost fertilizer mechanics work.

If I'm understanding the wiki correctly, when you harvest a plant it is a binary result of yes extra yield or no extra yield. And the % roll on if you get extra yield is (number of days you applied harvest boost) / (total number of growth days).

So if I'm growing an apple tree, I'd need to apply harvestboost fertilizer every single day of the 12 initial days (x9 fertilizer = 108 total) for the first harvest to be a 100% chance of extra yield.

Am I understanding correctly?

wary finch
#

for a proper result use the seeding/fermentation features of the app and calculate over a span of 180 or 360 days My garden turns out to yield 4100gold/day, if I factor in fermentation and seed creation - that's over 1.5 million gold in an in-game year.

#

I think so, Cifee, not sure about the other 3 harvest cycles though.

green zinc
#

I would assume the % resets after each harvest.. but I'm not 100% sure

#

So the 2nd harvest 6 days later would need 6 total applications and would be out of 6 for the %

green zinc
wary finch
#

I'm just doing 9 blueberry bushes and 5 spicy peppers supported by just rice and cotton. I need 4 upgrade quality fertilizers per day and have to pull around 6 weeds. need to water nearly everything (exquisite can). Berries and peppers get jarred, cotton and rice seeded. Yields 4100 gold per day in average.

#

well, actually I do both with berries and peppers (seed and jar), but the app doesn't let me choose both.

#

My garden is manageable, if I'm not binge playing, otherwise I would have to buy a lot more preserve jars and seeders, which I want to avoid.

#

currently I run 5 seeders, 8 jars and 2 worm farms.

wary finch
#

with emphasis on "currently", I sometimes switch out some of the cotton for potatoes and some of the rice for wheat and corn for cooking and as staple food (pickled corn). Pickled potatoes had performed very well in my worm farms, sold lots of fertilizer and worms and had enough fertilizer, when I was still using a lot.

Except you'll need to put a potato next to the tomato if you want the tomato to get water retain.

#

This pattern always works if you're out scouting a lot, since it's pretty much an automated farm.

#

May not be as much gold, but you'll never have to bother with the weeds and keeping it watered.

I see

#

Thanks a lot

nova yoke
#

Oh also turn the tomatoes and potatoes into seeds before selling.

uneven plume
#

I haven't done the math

nova yoke
# uneven plume Is it more profitable?

Mhm,
I think potatoes sell for like 60, and the seeds sell for 30 each.
However you get 4 seeds per one potato so it's like a 60 dollar profit each time.

Then for tomatoes, it would be better to jar them but you still get like a 20 or 30 gold profit.

Every little bit helps.

what fert would u guys recommend using?

I usually just use the harvest boost since you get it the most common by glow worm farms, or just use a bunch of weed protection fertilizer from Zeki if I don't feel like checking for that constantly

so you don't get the bug if there's eight in one plot and you pick the ninth on?

#

before the next growth tick

#

Do I only need to add HarvestBoost fertilizer right as I pick the plant? Or do I need to reapply every day

#

Or only the day right before it becomes harvestable 🤔

dusty kayak
#

at least it hasnt so far XD

#

idk if its cause all the crops are fully grown or because its fully grown and holding weedblock fert im not sure but 9th is never growing on the other plot and its been a lot of growth cycles

olive crypt
#

Question on weeds. It only affects the plant where the weed is growing on, right? Not surrounding plants?

nova yoke
#

Yes only the plant it is on.

#

Unless they're on all 9 pieces of a piece of land, then it'll revert the growth of them also.

Does a quality vegetable guarantee quality seeds?

as you level gardening your chances for quality improves and maxes out for quality seeds at 25 and regular seeds at 50

So let's say I have this layout and I let the non-apple veggies fully grow out and let them have 9 weeds on random spot that's not on apples, will I get water retain, weed prevention, and harvest boost on these apples? lmk if I'm on right track.. 😅

dusty kayak
#

well the boosts are still active with the weeds on so maybe that isn't so bad 🤔

olive crypt
#

Hmmmm! I might test it out. I'm also just picking apples too.

#

just weed block fert the trees until all weeds have spawned i suppose is the quickest way

olive crypt
#

Thanks for the all the ideas and infos too! @dusty kayak @nova yoke

nova yoke
#

All good,

olive crypt
#

I guess if it works… I could use speedy gro on the apples… which I have none atm 😂

#

you can stack it so it just gets absorbed every growth stage, can stack up to 99

green zinc
dusty kayak
#

correct

green zinc
#

SpeedyGro says "For every 2 days of growth, grants an additional bonus day". So if I wanted to stack SpeedyGro on a freshly planted Apple Tree so that it would run out when the tree first has apples, that would be 4 layers of SpeedyGro? (2+1, 2+1, 2+1, 2+1)?

dusty kayak
#

speedygrow confuses me too much XD

I believe you can buy them from the general store. After that you can use the seed harvester thing to make more seeds. I think there is a quest that gives you your first few apple seeds. Not sure about blueberry.

I think you can get blueberries early too? However I'd have to look at who would give those.

The 100% water retention and weed protection is cool for mostly AFK though

wise ruin
#

what exactly do weeds do? sometimes, it feels like weeds are sucking the water out of my crops with water retain.

#

especially my apple trees

acoustic laurel
#

They're only supposed to stop crops from growing but there's is/was a bug that's made them reverse in growth unsure if the bug caused them to be unwatered too

wise ruin
# acoustic laurel They're only supposed to stop crops from growing but there's is/was a bug that's...

that would make sense. I have 100% water retain on my 6 apple trees and they always seem to need to be watered (just not as often as normal), but I especially notice it while I have weeds. I wonder if it's just a coincidence or if the weeds are preventing the water retain to work.

According to online, weeds irl fight with crops to see who gets the water, nutrients, etc.

So I wonder if this was intentional on Singularity 6's part or if it is indeed a bug.

#

what do you think?

acoustic laurel
# wise ruin what do you think?

It's possible I know they cannot be watered so that would make sense. I started doing full water retention and weed prevention so I'm not sure what weeds do now

wise ruin
#

that's good to know. maybe I'll build a garden plan that adds weed prevention to my apple trees as well. i'll lose profit, but my garden is mostly focused on how many apples I get. my current layout gives me 612 apples.

#

it focuses on water retain and harvest boost for my 6 apple trees.

Hey guys! Just started playing Palia and I'm trying to get really into farming. Is it better to use star quality crops in the seed maker to get star seeds or should I save my star crops and just use regular crops?

alpine patrol
dusty kayak
#

Use star quality seeds to make star quality crops to use the seedmaker to make MORE star quality seeds
Keep enough to plant and sell the excess

untold wagon
#

Ah gotcha thanks for affirming my path towards endless circular star qualityness 🤑 does star quality seeds guarantee star crops or does it just increase the chance?

dusty kayak
#

It increases the chance which also increases as you level

#

Once you hit 25 level gardening almost all the time star seeds will be star

#

At level 50 it maxes for regular seeds to be star too

Do I have to put quality fertilizer on star quality seeds?

I never see any speedygro gardens. I’ve learned they make the most money.

wary finch
#

if you can handle the output of speed grown crops, which isn't that easy, if you play a lot. The more you play, the more output you get which can be overwhelming amounts - and it will just bring you faster to the point, where there is nearly nothing left or worth buying for your mass amounts of gold - so yeah, probably slower is better.

wary finch
#

This is actually a problem I see for this game, money comes in rather quickly but there are long term no effective money sinks. Once you have acquired what you need, there is nothing really worth of acquiring even more wealth.

Hello everyone. My main source of income is gardening. But I have yet to acquire apple seeds and blueberry seeds. I already have 4 preserve jars. What is the most profitable for jars and for seeds? What type of fertilizer do you use? Thanks

round compass
# timber swift Hello everyone. My main source of income is gardening. But I have yet to acquire...

I always go for amount boost (the green one, not sure bout the name), because I already use starquality seeds in the first place. before I had apples and blueberries I was rolling pretty well with tomatoes. they are low maintenance and bring a good amount imo, also very useful for most recipes if needed. from what I calculated you lose money when turning crops into seeds and try to sell them, so i'd only make seeds for what you actually wanna plant. Im nowhere near of being professional here though ^^

timber swift

#

That's how many jars you'll be making by the end, if you put everything in for jars/seeds

wary finch
#

the planner has a section where you can decide for every crop, if it will be seeded or jarred, it can calculate it for all star seeds, pre/post level 25 and so on. It just will not keep those settings when you are posting the link to your garden layout,

nova yoke
#

But yeah, jar pretty much everything but seed the potatoes and you'll get good profits

wary finch
#

I calculated my garden over a period of 180/360 days with seeding/preserving options and it turns out to yield 4100 gold/day in average,

#

As a rule of thumb you can memorize "seeding/jarring of produce adds about 50% in value".

#

with potatoes I tend to preserve them, because they provide high yield in a normal worm farm, which is convenient, if you need a lot of quality upgrade fertilizer.

#

That is actually a good investment, costs like 2 potatoes per day to have an all star-quality outcome of your produce (investment is 4 building licenses, 2 jars, 2 worm farms, but you want them anyway).

coarse depot
#

Do you then sell the potato seeds?

wary finch
#

I guess you don't mean me, I'm not seeding potatoes,but jar them and use pickled potatoes in a normal worm farm or as food.

#

But in general, with seeding, you sell everything what isn't required for replanting.

coarse depot
#

Sweet I like that idea. Do I have to reapply the fertilizer each day?

wary finch
#

yes, it depends on the crop and if it is already supported. In this case it isn't using up fertilizer in the soil.

coarse depot
#

Okay, and do I leave the weeds or pick them? Sorry for all the questions I'm new to this part of the game. I've only done gardening for the required quests thus far

wary finch
#

you need to pick them otherwise your crop won't grow.

coarse depot
#

Ok thank you

acoustic laurel
#

Fertilizer can also be stacked so you can put it all down at once instead of every day

nova yoke
#

Huh. You're right I didn't see how much starred potatoes gave

coarse depot
#

I don't have enough fertilizer to sustain adding it every day unless I start making a ton of worms

nova yoke
#

I usually just turn the potatoes into seeds for an extra bit of profit.

#

Honestly I just go for weed protection fertilizer from Zeki, you don't need fertilizer every time, since you'll be making good money regardless

wary finch
#

I run 2 jars for pickled potatoes and feed 2 normal worm farms with it, if you sleep like a human being and are not a 300hrs/month gamer, you will be fine like it and have enough fertilizer.

coarse depot
#

Ohh okay I was using the harvest boost fertilizer since that's what that image mentioned

wary finch
#

for harvest boost plant rice, wheat or corn nearby.

coarse depot
#

Awesome tysm

#

Just started pickling some potatoes 🙂

wary finch
#

look at the table above, the outcome of a normal worm farm is awesome with pickled potatoes used as feed.

nova yoke
#

This is the layout I use currently, it's more simplistic and even leaves room for whatever crop you may need more of.

#

Replacing corn with rice, if preferred

wary finch
#

haha, you caught me, that is the experience of binge playing in my first week.

nova yoke
#

Though I am finding myself running out of peppers and blueberries so I'll likely need to adopt that other farm soon.

wary finch
#

What I actually wanted to say with it is, how many jars, seeders and worm farms you'll need is a function of your playing behavior. The more you are playing Palia, the more jars and seeders you'll need to keep up with the outcome of your garden.

nova yoke
#

I only used two worm farms currently because I just keep forgetting to place them down.

wary finch
#

I wouldn't need them currently, my garden requires just 4 upgrade fertilizer per day or 8 if I plant potatoes as well, which I sometimes do before my potatoes run out.

#

hm, like I said, it is in the end a function of your playing hours per day spent, which decides if you need more or less jars and seeders.

#

The reason is clear, seeders and jars operate 24/7, but your garden just keeps growing when you are online. So you can control lack or abundance of crops by adjusting your playtime or the amount of seeders, jars and worm farms.

#

you can as well juggle with the amount of seeders vs. jars in a dynamic way to get it in balance with your play time spent.

#

As in, if you play a lot, use more seeders, if you play less, use more jars.

#

Same with what you should plant: if you play more, plant stuff which is normally seeded and comes in in large amounts. But if you play less, plant crops, which can be preserved.

i hope this doesn't prove to be facts in the game. like to where having SpeedyGro Fertilizer on all your apple trees drops the value and how many apples you get by a significant amount. That would be seriously bizarre.

#

there's already things in-game that make no sense.

#

Does anyone here run blueberry plants in their gardens? I'm trying to find a good layout for them now that I have access to star blueberry seeds

nova yoke
#

As this layout is probably what I'll do at some point to get back some more blue berries and spicy peppers.

#

Here's a 99% auto blueberry (or spicy pepper) farm.

The only loss would be the onion in the middle.

#

I left it without fertilizer, so you can mess around with it as you'd like.

#

Also didn't mess around with jarring stuff.
Idk if it's better to jar carrots and onions, or what to do with them but you'll have an abundance of them regardless

#

Or if you don't care for weed protection. Just switch the onions for wheat, and carrots for corn/rice

you may be wondering "why are potato seeds better profit than apple seeds?" well, you need 10 apples to make an apple seed. So it works out more profit per potato into potato seeds. ashurachefskiss

Any improvements on the layout which could boost the yield/speed?

#

I have tried removing weed protection but it ends up being clunky. Any ideas on how to avoid having to check on weeds other than fertilizer

wary finch
#

I have like 6 weeds to pull on a normal in-game day and more when I leave my garden alone for an rl day. This is inconvenient, but I run 9 blueberry bushes and 5 spicy peppers, with just rice and cotton in between, it takes just 4 fertilizers per day for all starred produce and a few normal cotton for the loom. Neither water retained nor weed protected it yields about 4100g/day with preservation and seeding of the produce. I have an uncommon layout though https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-11111-11111_CROPS-CoBBRBBSp.QSp.QSp-RBBCoBBSpRSp-RBBCoBBSpRSp-RBBCoBBSpRSp-NNNNNNSpCoR-Sp.QSp.QSpRBBCoBB-SpCoSpRBBCoBB-SpCoSpRBBCoBB-SpCoSpRBBCoBB-SpBBRBBNNN

#

I'm not saying this is best or something, just that it doesn't take apple trees to get good results,

#

And that weed protection and water retain is quite costly.

#

Convenience comes at a price.

#

this said, if your goal is glow worms, there is nothing like apple jam which maximizes those.

#

well, ok, I have to pull weeds, but those are worth 21k in an in-game year, so they are extra income.

frail escarp
# wise ruin reduces it to 516 star quality apples. Not sure why.

Oh, it's cause the days setting is set to automatic. It simulates everything till the day of last harvest, in which case was the sole apple tree going for 30 days till speedygro was applied to it, reducing to 20.

If you manually set it to 30 days, the amount goes higher

with a calculation found here, i'm at 74% of star luck with normal seeds ^^'
and maybe buying normal plants and crops will be an obligation but will be stupidly expensive. a unstarring fertilizer may be usefull XD

so yes, it looks that i'll have to cook with star only and continue to hide some low quantities starred cooking ingredients to keep a small quantity, in case of need

The real pain is the realization that soon you will be forced to feed Starred cotton into the mill for regular fabric when you need it... 😛

The renown past that point? I am honestly considering just stopping playing till they add a new thing to use it on. It would irritate me greatly if I kept playing, lost a ton of renown from going over the cap, and then they add something I really want to get. As it is I've already pulled back on talking to everyone regularly and doing their quests as fast as I can to delay while I work on the things that don't give renown as fast like farming all the materials to make one of every furniture item. Or building up my seed stockpiles on my crops while I decide how I actually want to start using them.

feral elbow
#

sure, i don't want to lost renom too

1000 is a too small limit
all limits are too small in fact

wheat terrace
#

I am assuming that the small limits on everything are a product of the game still being in beta and they want to make sure if an infinite glitch is discovered they can limit the damage of someone stockpiling and therefore ruining the pacing of progression for that character.

feral elbow
#

or just to force the player to constantly use those things

wary finch

you could as well create a new character (with new e-mail ofc) and start over again. Maybe do something differently this time, like I'm doing, this character is on pause, while my new one is doing well,but has a different approach to it.

#

Reroll just to have normal crops is not a really good idea i think

wary finch
#

my problem was not slow progression, but too fast progression before I even knew, what matters and what doesn't.

#

like buying 3 housing plots and none of them is "virgin", and I wanted some scrub and bushes as well, but I had cut them all first time around. Now I haven't cut them and it looks much nicer.

#

I see no reason to stockpile normal crops, my stuff is nearly all star quality.

#

Or to focus on apples,whilst I'm doing much better without apples.

feral elbow
#

I have buy 3 housing plots just to have the gazebo ^^'

To keep normal crops is always useful, for gifts for example (as star things can't be gifted to players).

My apples are a bit for apple pies

wary finch
#

ok, I did not bake anything yet, so I simply don't know. I was just disappointed, that every new housing plot is basically the same instead to get independent virgin plots.

feral elbow
#

Baking is interesting to get focus and then leveling faster

wary finch
#

ok, gifting, I didn't think about that. Some people are really generous, like I never expected to get 20 infused planks gifted, but I got them 2nd try.

#

So now I have to gift as well once I have enough of those.

feral elbow
#

🙂

I gift some things when i can

wary finch
#

as far as farming plots go, I think we should have 15 of those, this would allow for having gardens on up to 2 housing plots, like 3x3 and 2x3 gardens.

Or to can place apple trees as decoration anywhere without using the farming plots
