I made too much seed it filled my storage to the max 
with seeding, you only want to keep as much as you need to replant your crops, everything else can be sold
You can leave seeds inside the seed maker to save on storage space
Just gotta leave one spot open if you want to make more seeds
accidentaly took em
you can do that??
wait, you can put things back into the machines?
Some machines you can't. You definitely can with the wood/forge tho. I haven't tried with worms and seeders
hey
does growth boost from blueberry stack with SpeedyGro fertilizer?
this is probably a faq, but nothing is pinned :/
on PC yes--just drag the item back in. On switch I haven't been able to do it.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Whatās the best item to make the most glow worms? I canāt seem to find anything that gives more than 2.
I found this on discord. Most give 2. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tr5KdvomPxOsA93HC9S7vDdP_bnffWifpwwQPCectdg/edit#gid=0
I mean reddit. we are on discord.
fertilizer (harvest/speedGro) = 2 + value/10 [rounded; midpoint rounded down]
regular worm = 2 + value/10 [rounded; midpoint rounded down]
quality fert = 6 + value/4 [rounded down]```
if this is still true you'd just want something with lots of value
star quality apple jam gives 3 glow worms.
if you are able to join multiple cake parties however, celebration cakes give 4-5 glow worms/hour
those are the two i believe to be the easiest ones to do
agreed - apple/blueberry jams 2-3 glow worms, celebration cake 4-5 glow worms depending on quality and number of apples used
also grilled fish made from uncommon fish such as cactus muray will give you 3 or 4 glow worms but I found that it's all just taking too much effort and it's much easier to just dump tons of blueberries to make jam and then dump max amount of jams to the glow worm box
I still got no answer, so I will try again:
does growth boost from blueberry stack with SpeedyGro fertilizer?
Nah, identical boosts don't stack
well, if you buy anything at zeki's, he will send you a coin for his lucky machine.
new farming layout with new veggies? are they worth it
what is the max number of plots we can have
9
ok thanks
ty!
my current farm
Good morning,what is better please? first buy blueberries or wait fo apples and after buy blueberries
You can get them without buying them with guild coins too:
- gardening coins once you get level 10 and have enough coins
- Level 3 friendship reward ||with zeki and naio for apple seeds and badruu for blueberry seeds||
- Zeki gatcha machine or chappa pile
- You can request if you ever had an apple or blueberry
Does anyone have a layout for all cooking ingredients?
What's the best layout currently for maximum profit?
Here's this, with 100% water retention, if you prefer that (with a bit of sacrifice to weed prevention.)
However it's a bit difficult to add apple trees to it but I made it somewhat easy to follow.
The right side isn't very symmetrical, but it was all I could figure to do to make sure the peppers had water retain.
I think that's every cooking crop? I doubt it's the best but hey, it works out.
nice one thanks @nova yoke !
If you'd prefer full weed prevention, I can try to rearrange it some more,
hmm i was mainly after abit of both weed/water.
i dont mind harvest boost as i use ferti for it.
this bothers me so much
that should be just visual glitch
Any 100 weed/water using all the seeds?
What's the best crop to put in the preserve jars for profit?
apples to jam imo
i'm with sen aka
Great, thank you š
ha, so someone has found my weirdly shaped garden styling useful š
just tap your water can right above that plot and it will rearrange itself.
Does harvest boost fertilizer stack with harvest boost buff from a nearby crop?
no, you get the buff from the crops nearby
The pure joy of gardening
whats your gardening layout if you don't mind me asking <3?
I started playing on Switch Dec 14, and not sure if this actually good or not
weeds cant move right?
Shouldn't, but could grow daily, not šÆ on that, sorry,. I never seen move but look hidden in apple tree seedling
yeah
i was growing a weed plot, had 8/9 weeds where i wanted them, came back and they were all move to random locations. so i think someone stopped by and weeded it lol
Yea, understand
Start streaming
yeah not too worried about it
need to get 1000 weeds for the accomplishment anyways
so restarting weed plot lol
i always do weed prevention and water retention plots
why using jars instead of seeds? seeds gives more $$$ ?
How many jam makers do you have?
12
Thx. I have 8 and it doesnāt seem to be enough.
Ok, I still learning
Ty
for reals do seeds they give more money, but if you can do all worms, seeds and jars !! then $$$$$$$$$
Awesome, appreciate it a ton 
I typically keep 300;seeds in locker, so can definitely afford to sell some
I did the math this week. It depends on the crop. You get more $$ for preserves almost all crops except potatoes and the other ones that donāt preserve.
oh wow thats awesome, i keep 100 each as a backup
i mainly do BokChoy for $$
I havenāt calculated the bok choy š
I love this game, everyone is so awesome and helpful! 
1x Bok Choy = 45g you get 4seeds per 1, 4seeds = 88g (almost double per 1bokchoy)
Iām sorry I didnāt calculate the new crops. My statement is for the older ones.
housing editor, upper right center is an edit button, simply set that plot on "closed", which means that just NPCs can visit your housing plot. Problem solved, those NPC won't weed your garden.
did you test bok choy kimchi's performance in worm farms by chance?
not yet, thats my next test š
you had me interested, so I looked it up, and interestingly, star nappa cabbage yields 90 gold whether you do seeds or kimchi
but the kimchi is faster by 12 min
I tested napa cabbage kimchi in normal worm farms, it is like pickled corn, 11/28 for the starred version.
I have one too
Hello anyone have please 100% water retention +- all croops farm without apples? thanks
I have this but its not 100% š
I made this but it doesnt have 100% weed prevention
super thanks
yeaaa, i know its only a visual glitch but its so darn triggering xd
use Weed Prevention fertilizer. The idea is to have max amount of apple tree and blueberry bushes with all of them speed boosted from crops and water retained as well as harvest boost on the apple trees. Plant in the middle of your choice as it will only have speed boost, might as well be empty lol
I plan to keep most plants ungathered to make it an afk farm for the blueberries and apples, as I won't be using anything else - Apple Pie is best for focus per task(minigame) and Apple/Blueberry jams are best afk food for Worms
https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-111-111-111_CROPS-CrAATAACrAA-ACrWATCbABB-CrTCrAAAAAA-WCbBCrTBAAA-BBBBCoBBBB-AAABTCrBCbW-AAAAAACrTCr-BBACbTAWCrA-AACrAATAACr
you can pick up corn for selling and do pick up wheat when running low for making more pies
the same idea, but one blue berry bush is offset and thanks to that all blueberries have harvest boost, while one of the apple trees does not. That one apple tree you have to choose - it can have either water retention or harvest boost
https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-111-111-111_CROPS-CrAATAACrAA-ATCbABBABB-CrTCbAAAAAA-WCbBCrTBAAA-BWCrBCrBBBB-AAABTCrBCbW-AAAAAACrTCr-BBACbTAWCrA-AACrAATAACr
I would appreciate it if someone were able to calcualte what is more profitable - harvest boost on 1 apple tree or harvest boost on 4 blueberries bushes. My guts tell me it's the latter
is quality boost helpful if i'm already using all star seeds?
before level 25, yes
but after 25, useless? i'm halfway through level 24 lol
i also really like having non-star seeds to use for cooking so i'm trying to prolong reaching level 25
yeah after 25 you'll only need to care about quality boosting regular seeds
until level 50

so i won't get any regular crops from star seeds? :(
pretty hard after level 25 yeah
to get something regular quality
it only sucks in that 1. you can't give it to requests and 2. making fabric will always be a loss in worth lol
if i'm cooking can i use some star quality and some regular things, or does everything have to be star quality
?
You can use a mix, lock up whatever star things you don't want to use and check the use star ingredients box. When you cook it'll pull out of whatever is in your normal storage
you can use starred potatoes and unstarred carrots, but you cannot use both starred and unstarred potatoes, if that makes sense
ohh okay thanks guys!
what stuff to learn? š¤£
Haha not too much, I guess. š Really, just the most efficient layouts for making gold, what crop processing yields the best returns-per-hour/day, and what the optimal amount of each crafter I should have for my layout.
lol sacrificed a couple Apple Trees to make a layout meant for hosting Cake Parties as the Starter.
Okay I actually like that one a lot, manager to somehow get more of the weed prevention in too.
I really like this layout. It's simple and focused. In case you want 100% growth and harvest boost, you could put the blueberries on the inner corners.
water retain? weed prevention? oof, soo much manual labor š
Oh, totally. This was a purely gold-making layout I used for a while to show the blueberry placement I mentioned. It's pretty easy to adjust based on your priorities, like so.
haha true, but my build was meant to give my Apple Trees Weed Prevention.
lol that's a lot of different fertilizer
Oh yeah, yours is definitely on point for the blueberries and apples. I would not want to maintain the last layout I made lol. I use a no fert 100% weed/water all crops layout now. I only do occasional cooking parties and am good on gold.
nice
there is most likely no optimal amount, the best you can do is keeping it dynamic, put out what you currently need and remove what is not that important at that time. This can reduce the amount of licenses required to run your farm.
Honestly, it comes down to your lvl of patience but it's 9/10 times, just focusing on apples and harvest boosting them to put into preservers and (glow) worm farms for speedy grow fertilizer to put back on the trees.
I'm currently running this, (replacing the weed prevention with whatever crop you find yourself in need of,) and I'm usually getting pretty solid income.
compared to this, I find my layout better, as it achieves harvest boost on 3 apple trees and 4 blueberry bushes
That looks like a weird version of the windmill layout
That has 8 berries and 4 apples,
Too bad there's not a 1 x 1 crop that offers growth boost. Would have been great.
this windmill layout doesnt have harvest boost nor weed prevention, fertilizer won't solve both of these issues š¦
this layout is kinda weird, because pre-level 25 using normal seeds but using quality upgrade fertilizers on all crops generates 4.8k/day with post-processing calculated over 360 days. whereas post-level 25 without fertilizer using all starred seeds it is just 4.6k/day.
both variants are 100% harvest, speed, quality boosted.
ok, the difference is just marginal, but it saves the hassle of having all starred seeds ready, if using seeds from zeki's generates better results.
But it could be, that the experimental feature of growth boost calculation and replant costs in the planner leads to inconsistent results, I had values of 5.25k/day with layouts, which now show 4.8k/day or even 4.6k/day - so yeah, take it with a grain of salt.
hm, playing around with the planned post-processing creates results between 4.6 and 5.25k per day, it is basically that, what's causing the difference.
pls help me, I cant pick š trying to make a new layout with the new crops and trying to add 100% weedblock besides the 100% water because I keep forgetting to check it daily
first one has the highest profit, but it doesnt have any apple and it doesnt have 100% weed block, so not sure how I feel about it.
second one does have everything I want, but it has the lowest profit and Im not sure how i feel about having so little rice and wheat as I use it a lot in cooking (use it in my main food source).
third one has more profit and all crops, but barely more than half has weed block. though the weed block is on the most important crops (in my opinion), but I kinda wanted full weed block so idk.
@slow flameyou can send me a dm if you like
Whats your feelings abt using weedblock fert
if you need a lot of rice and wheat, plant it in between blueberries, that both gets the speed boost from blueberries and both provide harvest boost to those blueberries. You can use blueberry jam as well as food source.
yeh starting to think about that, but as you need to buy it, I only wanna use it if it gives more profit in return
you will have to harvest that rice every other day, so think about if you really need weed protection and water retain.
If harvesting every other day you can also weed yeah 
Hi! I canāt seem to find an answer online, but can I move my garden to a second or third housing plot? Or are they forever on the main plot?
you can pick it up when it is clean and sandy again, you can achieve that with using your hoe with right mouse button.
You can move them but the max soil plots you can have still remain 9
They will grow on the second plot if you do it tho and are one 1st plot setting
@slow flameif you wanna more profit from your gardening, make apple jam.
So they exist simultaneously in both plots?
but you have a global total of 9 plots, not 9 on each housing area.
Iām aware that itās only nine. But will they be removed from the first?
Or can I access them from both places?
you need to pick them up and put it down somewhere else. But like I said, they have to be empty and sandy to pick them up.
Ah. Ok. Thank you!
I decided to put the 7 layouts I made this afternoon & my current layout in a spreadsheet so its easier to compare, I shouldnt worry about that wheat and rice amount lol
final question is: is one spicy pepper enough for my cooking...
this one is the best I got atm, just not sure if one spicy pepper is enough for the cooking, as I use chili oil dumplings as main food
I would be going from 4 spicy pepper to 1 XD
Is it not worth it to put apples and tomatoes in preserves
Forget the price difference
apples at least absolutely
tomatoes as pickled or seeds is really gold per hour difference which I can't math well lol
but apples for sure , apple jam rocks
what's the faster way to rank up on Gardening? i am slowly leveling up š„²
once you do apples, you level like twice an IRL day at least until the levels get passed 50 lol
can get apples quickly by befriending ||naio or zeki|| to level 3
thanks š i am on Rank 8 and i been needing apples š„²
ICYI, I kicked around some ideas based on your cake party needs and came up with this layout. Hopefully it's useful. https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-111-111-111_CROPS-P.HCbCr.HAAAAAA-P.SWATRAB.HB.HA-AAP.HAACbAACr.H-AAAWRB.HP.STB.H-B.HB.HB.HB.HT.HpB.HB.HB.HB.H-B.HTP.SB.HRWAAA-Cr.HAACbAAT.HAA-AB.HB.HARTAWP.S-AAAAAACr.HCbT.H
anyone have the doc that broke down the profits of seeds/preserves/worm by the hour?
Nifty idea, but it removes the weed prevention from the Apple Trees. My layout (for the Apple Trees) has water retain, harvest boost, growth boost, and Weed Prevention.
Whereas my blueberries has the same boosts (excluding weed prevention).
I NEED HELP WITH GARDENIING CAN SOMEONE CALLL IM BNORED OF BEING LONLY
Oh! I misremembered. Cool.
Which crops gives you the most money? Thanks
I wish they would sell us more soil 9 is not enough
Like chili peppers take up a lot they should make soil plots only for that kind
Apple > jam > worm&fert > š°
Tomatoes is the starting point if you have no apples. When you have it, turn apples into apple jam. Make sure to also have 30 Apple seeds at all time. Since Apple trees eventually disappear after enough harvests, itās good to have 30 seeds to replant.
My income is:
Apple Jam, celebration cakes, and extra seeds (that I donāt need).
Iāve been hosting Cake Parties lately where we make cakes 50 times. That makes 150 cakes. 150 cakes is approximately above 30,000 gold.
Is there an advanced crop formation that includes all crops including the new ones? I find guides for making money which is great but it's also good to have a stock of other crops for cooking
I just wish they made soil only for the chili peppers smh
Or a pot, but then it wouldn't share effects
And they all have water retention, sweet!!
The amount of Cabbage and body choy seems excessive imo, but I really appreciate this. I can play around with the your suggestion 
I assumed you were asking because you wanted to stock up on the new crops so I used more of those but you can swap it around along with the corn/wheat/rice as well
Actually yeah, with all the new recipes I should do that. Sorry, I'm so scatterbrained at times š
Can anyone provide a 100% water retain and 100% weed block with as many 2x2 (spicy peppers or blueberries) as possible? My attempt doesnāt get full afk status https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-111-111-111_CROPS-BkCOTPCbSpSpBk-SpSpCSpSpTPSpSp-SpSpTSpSpPCSpSp-SpSpSpBkCbSpSpSpO-SpSpSpSpCbSpSpSpSp-OSpSpSpCbBkSpSpSp-SpSpCPSpSpTSpSp-SpSpPTSpSpOSpSp-BkSpSpCbPTOCBk
No apples on this plot, due to it being for a newer player
That's a lot of peppers
this isn't what you're asking but there's ways to get apples before level 10 if you want that info
I would be happy with a couple less Peppers for true auto - I feel like I saw one before?
I played a little and managed to get 10 with almost 100% of both with the exception 3 crops
@left portal
Ways to get Apples/blueberries or seeds
- gardening coins once you get level 10 and have enough coins
- Level 3 friendship reward ||with zeki and naio for apple seeds and badruu for blueberry seeds||
- Zeki gatcha machine or chappa pile
- You can request if you ever had an apple or blueberry
Nice thanks!
Shifting the right most blueberries to touch water retain lowers the fertilizer cost by one, and if you want all the crops to become harvestable at the same time you can add the couple speedygrow: https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-11111-11110_CROPS-BBPBBBkBkPB-TBBOBBBBkP-PTBBkOBBBBk-BPTBBkOPBB-BBP.HpBBOP.WTBk.S-OTBBBPBBBk-BOTTBBOBB-BBOPTBBkOB-TBBBPTBBkO.S
How does this make everyone feel?
from my point of view you have to prioritize harvest and speed boost over water retain and weed prevention, because the latter don't increase harvest amount and frequency of harvest cycles and your skill gain is judged on your harvests.
tl;dr harvesting more and more frequently results in faster skill gain
then their is the increase in gardening medals, for using fertilizers and harvesting quality crops. If you care about that, you will have more gardening metals a lot early than without caring.
Basically, if you go for lazy layouts early on, your skill gain will be slow. afk gardens are for people like Sen Aka, he can go for that because otherwise he'd be drowning in apples, but this is not for the young gardener, just starting out.
How does one reach level 3 for friendship? That seems difficult
talk daily (in game days) to villagers and do their quests and gift them stuff they need once per rl day.
this includes their star gem, you can gift them that as well.
Ah, and regarding skill gain in a whole, don't forget to upgrade your skill gain bonus at the phoenix shrine, caring for that early on makes skill gain so much easier.
Lol this has been my entire last week
Except with water and harvest
As lys said. Talk to them once per palian day/IRL hour and give daily gifts. Their 3rd and 4th weekly gifts give more points than their 1st and 2nd. Once you're done with daily gifts give them their standard liked gifts
a lot of villagers like jam, I try always to gift them spare jams I have. If they take it or not is a bit random, but they do it often enough, it's worth a try.
can get a character from level 1 to level 3 in 3 to 4 IRL days if you're trying 
I found a display bug with wagon wheels. If a villager wants that, it can be that the wheel isn't marked as valid gift, if you have crafted it yourself, but it counts as gift.
I maybe kinda neglected the not berry spaces when I did mine. Idk if it's worth it for your friend
I regret not having this a week ago. It could have been easy pickings... 
you learn more from own mistakes than not making them and being satisfied with less than you could achieve. Embrace that, you will get better by learning from your mistakes.
hunting is a prime example for that. Over time you will find patterns in how game behaves and learn what you did wrong or didn't recognize before. Making these mistakes makes you a better hunter later on.
like I always try to better my layouts for my weirdly shaped garden. This one is currently the best, calculated over 360days with post-processing it passed the 2 million gold income line, 5.6k/day and this as pre-25+ skill with just normal seeds.
this does not yet include the worm farm income from it.
no one needs that amount of money,so I will likely just run it for a month or 2 and then do something else.
Hello, anyone with 100 Weed Prevention and 100 Water Retention using almost all if not all seeds? Thanks!
so far, i found that this build i made seems to make the most money. i wonder if anyone can beat these numbers (Last Harvest: Day 30 - 134,864 | Raw Average: 4,495/day)
i'm very interested if it's possible to beat those numbers haha
lol I have a Cake Party Garden layout that applies 78 Water Retain, and weed prevention to my apple trees.
i might break this down and go back to my money making garden with the 6 apple trees.
if you want, i can make a custom garden layout for you if you're interested. it's kinda become a hobby to me.
I think this is already good bro. I just started playing again. Thanks for this!
haha ok, i almost had a complete layout for what you were asking
lol i completed the challenge :p made a layout with 100% Water Retain, 100% Weed Prevention, and using every crop.
it definitely was a challenge, but a fun one.
You are awesome bro. I'll compare it to the one above. I'm restocking supplies.
Haha np, have fun. If you ever want to request another garden layout, you can ask me. I enjoy the challenges and experimentations.
The wheels they request aren't the crafted ones they're the ones you fish up, like the shipwreck pieces.
You can gift furniture but that's not what they asked for. The item icon on the relationship panel should look like the fished up wagon wheel icon
@wise ruincan you post your top garden layout as a planner link that I can calculate it please.
well, actually they took the crafted one as gift, but it wasn't marked a valid gift.
ok I will check,if he still wants a wagon wheel or if it counted.
seen from the associated dialogue, he has taken it for the associated purpose.
How in the blazes?
Is rice really that good for gold?
I thought jarred corn offered more profit,
Same for potato seeds over tomato but I was never sure of that.
If you want more blueberries and peppers than the one above, I'm using this atm
rice grows very quickly with speed boost, can be harvested every other day,
and with profit per time unit you have to think differently.
like it matters then, how long your crop has to wait in average in a jar for being processed.
You can make big profits with quick growing crops but that only works if you're taking care of your garden almost every palian day
not almost. every day.
it's actually nearly every other day, if you care for your garden at about 2am and after 6am, then you can be away for like 40 hours without to lose anything.
and you cash in twice as well, when you return and at the 6am tick.
like you leave at 10am on day 1 and return at 2am on day 3, do your farm work twice and leave at 10am again -leaves you 40 hrs to do something else meanwhile.
that's 100 rl minutes, enough time despite caring properly for your garden.
Uh.
Yeah I'm just sticking to my less precise crops that take multiple days. I'd never remember that
I figured that out as a work around for that weird bug, where some crop spots might lose their fertilization, when I leave my housing plot. (this is under investigation by the team currently) this way I fertilize without leaving before the 6am tick happens and fertilize at 2am.
but that bug has as well another component, which I just found out today, some spots might never use their fertilization, despite not being water retained.
100 rl minutes are more than enough for me, I use row 1 in inventory for materials like bug catching stuff, arrows, repair kits, worms and foodstuff and row 2 for farming purposes, So I have just 3 rows left for being out and about, those are filling up during that time.
with this schedule and rice planted with speed boost, there is always rice to harvest when I return, steady rice income.
Isnāt it actually the same with bok choy? I think if boosted it grows every other day too, but it costs a little more?
I have layouts with 5,5k per day, but no water retain of course, only harvest boost, so u have to do things manually
yeah all 3 days crops, speed boost is 1 extra day done every 2 days normal growth.
bok choy is quite good if you have recipes which take any kimchi, so far I haven't seen a recipe which requires a specific kimchi.
if used in a worm farm, nappa cabbage kimchi performs better, it's like pickled corn in this case.
Yeah, there is only one and it requires any kimchi
Basically, with speed boost, 3-days crops grows in 2 days, 4-days crop in 3 days, 6-days crop in 4 days and apple trees in 8 days.
so it's basically a 50% time bonus with the exception of 4 days crop, where it is just 33.3%
the growth boost messes up with the harvest boost once in a while, though it's not too bad
oh boy, my youngest is producing her apple trees currently, skill level 18 - first apple tree gave 19 starred and 5 normal apples. This will take an eternity getting to 4 trees.
I would use quality fertilizer and grow boost it , if u want it faster
I do that, but quality fertilizer is not a 100% chance, it is more like 60% added - with level 18 I get 36%+60% (a guess) = 96% chance, it could be just 50% added as well.
True, but still worth it to boost it with harvest, quality+grow
I always do that.
just put corn, wheat, rice, next to the trees and leave it there untouched lol thats what im doing on newbie alt and i got a ton of apples for more seeds fast
it is just unlucky. getting 19/5 - with 20/4 it would be much faster.
it is all setup and ready to go, just with 3 empty spots for the still missing trees.
fast is relative, I don't have the time to spend 10hrs today to get this done, so it will be done by tomorrow.
On the bright sight, my jars will be ready at that time to take the apple flood, when it will be done.
@dusty kayak what is your current worm farm setup?
12 preserve jars, 7 to 8 worm farms, and this layout (graphic by Milk)
Only watering/harvesting/replacing apple trees and leaving the harvest boosting crops alone
(9 weeds on one plot can cause a bug, so you can leave 1 or 2 on a harvest boosting crop to prevent the bug and the crop still boosts the trees)
Awesome thanks!
Does this count as a bingo? 
I would say you've definitely won the top secret door prize here! throws 40 palium bars at you š
very possible that the dollar bills are much softer than the metal bars 
lol reminds me of the wish spell in table top dungeons & dragons. The game master has to fulfill this wish, because it is very costly to cast - like "I want a ton of gold" "coming right up" and you let it fall from heaven on him, he is dead and needs resurrection. Be careful, what you wish for - it is rather difficult to wish something so, that a game master couldn't mess with an inappropriate wish š
but even then, a ton of gold in one bar, he cannot carry it to anywhere after resurrection.
Oh yeahā I made a wish with my bard once in the later portion of a campaign for a tome that would give me all the wisdom of the world when I opened itā and so naturally, the tome appeared, only for me to open it, and immediately gave my brain melt. 𤣠one of the best ways Iāve ever lost a character! I love dramatic irony.
so Sen Aka was right, it didn't take too long to get all 4 apple trees going. Basically when the time comes to replant the first one, all will be star quality with jam production in full swing.
does anyoe have an all inclusive better then this?
Whatās the most beneficial/money makin layout? š³ I have no specific order at the moment
starting out you need a different layout to "most money making", because skill progress is more important than money making until you have skill level 10. Start out with crop, which grows quickly and you can harvest more frequently. Skill is only gained by harvesting crops. So if you go for "most beneficial" at your stage, this is not an afk layout, you have to care for your garden starting out.
If you go for a lazy layout, your skill progress will be slow and it will take much longer to get to the big money making layouts.
Low level, frequent plot a lot;
Tomato, potato, potato, tomato
Wheat, rice, rice, wheat
Wheat, rice, rice, wheat
Tomato, potato, potato, tomato.
(Turn tomatoes and potatoes into seeds then sell, wheat would be good to maybe keep, then the rice sell.)
The app wouldn't cooperate for some reason, so had to describe it.
setup your garden and then go mining, those gems you will gather by doing this will at start be more money than your garden can provide - and this skill is vital for upgrading your tools anyway.
I'd say fishing is better than early mining for gold,
but you need a decent axe and pick to quickly progress, fishing doesn't provide this.
all my 3 characters suck at fishing, I never really needed that.
You don't need fishing, but the gold that each fish sells for is between 45 - 125 easily, depending on where you fish, can be seen as quite worth it in my eyes. Plus you can do it at your plot so you can reach your farm quicker if you use rice.
but that is just money, nothing else really. mining and foraging gets you materials, which you need,not just money and skill gain.
That is true but fishing would get you that copper chest, bigger inventory, and could be done easily without risk of going on an adventure for nothing where as for mining, you'd have to hope someone didn't already devoid the server of all the iron nodes (or wait around for copper nodes to respawn), as half the servers I visit now are all strip mined to oblivion so I can't imagine the suffering of new players in that scenario and while you're relogging I've probably gotten around 4k from fish alone.
Mining is much better overall but for gold gained there isn't much to say (unless you're very vigilant with your farms)
I did it with mining and foraging at start. Don't forget that newbies can just grill mushrooms at start, nothing else. So getting around gets them these mushrooms, whereas fishing doesn't.
I love this layout!
Don't grill mushrooms only sell for 50? Or do starred ones sell for more.
I focused on farming from the start and actually forgot fishing existed in the start until a main quest involved Einar, but you can get useful things from fishing especially in Bahari in the bay, also you can pick up the shells, oysters, and coral if you desire nearby you. (And dragons beard..etc)
oh my. I dislike fishing, I do it until I have glow worm farms and then never again.
Iām near level 14 for farming. Is that still the best farming technique? Thereās only a certain number of plot I can get
Late-mid gaming is probably farming and mining though. Since you'll be needing a lot of resources, during the time
Also I hate bug catching the most

ah level 14 is a different thing, then you can go for lazy layouts as well.
Lvl14? If you can afford apples here's what I use (not including fertilizer, except id recommend some water retain on the wheat/rice,) and it has 6 open slots for other vegetables.
Actually no, switch out the cabbage for potatoes probably. I just like cabbages
This is going to sound so dumb but I thought apple trees take 9 spaces?
Or is that what that means
they do but in the layout planner they are marked spot by spot
They do, see the layout (apologies if that sounded blunt,)
However preservative jars make apples sell for 144,
a jar of condoms lol
No it doesnāt sound blunt, sometimes it just takes me a minute to understand but I get it now. Thank you so much:)
What-
preserve jar vs. preservative
Oh and early fishing and consistent farming can get you into early cooking parties and then you can sell the food for gold as well, I heard the fish recipes are very good too.
yeah, maybe, I eat jams and pickled stuff mostly
I do apple pie parties,
I didn't even consider just eating the jams, I just sell all but the kimchi ones now for just profit
they perform well in worm farms as well, I'm not selling jams.
I guess my reason to use pickled foodstuff and jams for focus is simply that I have to work to make recipe foodstuff, whereas pickles and jams get done while I sleep or work irl. And when I'm back in Palia, there is a lot of money to cash in waiting plus enough food for a long playing session.
and this whilst having 2 kitchens in my palia house, lol, not using them often.
I plan to cook at some point in time though, more for decorative purposes than nutrition though.
hm, iirc 500+750+1000+1250+1500+2000 = 7000, but not sure about it
ah there is the last one with 3000, 10k then
about that bug with 9 weeds on 1 soil - I think this is just a problem, if you have water retain somewhere. I paid attention to how many weeds I get in total, if I don't return to Palia for a couple of hours. I never had more than 8 weeds in the garden, if none of my crops has water retention.
In my mind this can just happen, if you don't pull weeds every day and water retained spots keep growing.
can someone do me a soil planner with an example please.
i need help on Gardening and it won't seem to work for me >.<''
i have only in storage is the basics. not the higher ones for rank 10
tomatoes, pototoes, wheat, carrots, etc.. just the basics please š„ŗ
I havent updated my doc to include the new stuff yet but you might be interested in the 6 soil newbie layout or 100% lazy (100% lazy works with any amount of soil plots)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GyPgetnBlxypFaYzvGSyhGPntXnpMxsm_q8zvXYHEqg/edit#heading=h.4rn3fsx0rkaz
Thank you so much for this. Bless you 
So with the added veggies, is there a new most profit layout (most likely using preserve jars) ???
Cabbage is average, 90 for jarred and 90 for seeded,
I've HEARD someone say bok choy is pretty good but I don't know exact numbers.
so back to my tomato farm
Farming question: Is it better to plant all Tomatos or a mix of tomatos and something that boosts quantity? Goal to get the most tomatos in the sortest time.
at the start id reccomend something like diagnol lines of tomatoes, harvest boost crop (wheat, rice, corn), and cotton
thats a good way for money but requires work watering everything 
something like this give or take
just increasing the chance for a bigger harvest and for star quality which is worth more
but yknow thats just one way to go about it, specifically for newbie and easy pattern to remember, while maximizing profit 
plenty of other things one could do
like you could have waiting to harvest the apples one final time before uprooting those trees. But that's just me lol
It would have been two more times but I got impatient and wanted to change the layout
The issue with the layout I had was that it doesnt use blueberries for growth boost, so they grow really slow
ugh, yeah, my apple trees take forever, even boosted, so I feel yar pain
I used one of the plot designs that someone else posted on this server, but I like my blueberry speed boost
how many apple trees did you want? I was able to get two with harvest, quality, water, and growth boosts on them, and 5 blueberry bushes in there as well
Mine has four trees with four blueberry bushes. I focused the harvest boost on the trees and not the blueberries, but I also took the idea from the server. The difference is the harvest boost on the trees
This is my layout at the moment
that's a lot of apples and blueberries š
I should use that tool and see what it says about my plot. I just planned it out in Excel.
I cant remember exactly what the persons plot I took the idea from looked like, but I think it was something like this
Minus the cotton. I just use it as a placeholder
Also one of the corn in the middle is supposed to be wheat
I use cotton all over for star quality, let me plop mine into that app and will post it shortly
Also just made this because I think it looks cool and is unnecessary
sometimes, it ain't about min/maxing or the utility of it, but how good it looks!
I like yours. It has a very nice mix of all the buffs
it does, was going for quality, harvest, and growth boosts, at the cost of deweeding. Water is ok-ish, but that's quikc to do anyhow
and ty š
and the stuff that isn't harvest boosted, I drop in some fert on those every few days
This is the one I was using before
I also forgot to add rice, so just imagine some of the wheat was rice
I really like that. I havent needed crops for cooking because I buy my food from Reth's register, so I only pick the apples and blueberries
ahh gotcha, yeah, I cook a lot, so wanted a garden that I could grow most of it
100%water 100% weed prevention lazy layout
Garden Layout I just did. Uses all crops.
Saw some lazy layouts and large money layouts and I was wondering if anyone had layouts of either that also has crop variety/optimization (as it doesn't need to be truly varied if any crop would do for a recipe) for cooking (outside of cakes cause my focus bar isn't maxed out)? Shepp's Pie has been my go-to so I rotate out crops.
i had a one of every crop layout but i havent updated it with the new crops, though you can replace the crops that have the same effect pretty easily
Ooo thank you! For the before level 25, what's the cotton for? Does crop quality affect exp? Or could I just use the level 25+ layout if I have the seeds for it?
Cotton boosts chance for quality
And so does your level which maxes out for starred seeds at 25
After which nearly every crop made from a starred seed will be starred
ahhh okay
And quality crops are of course better money :p
garden plots start at a price of 250, then 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000, just verified it by going through the process a 4th time with a new character (I know, totally insane), but you were correct, total sum is 9000.
Got bored of checking/adding fert, so I made 100% harvest/water retain, all crops layout. I'll just have to weed now.
if you ignore replacing 9 harvest boosting crops, you can leave 9 weeds on those
they still harvest boost
true weed block
Yes, I've heard of the trick, but there's no way I sacrifice 9 of my crops. When I get bored of the all crops layout and go for an apple money making hands off garden that will make sense
i got lazy real fast
Im at lvl 10, is there anything to know for lvling any faster? I really need the guild items
immediately start making apples, and harvest boost them 
and of course make sure your focus boost is being increased whenever possible and that you're eating before harvesting for the exp boost
What would you say is the best item to put in for speedygro? As someone recommended just piling on speedygro on rice for profit every other day and I'm tempted to test out how effective it is.
still looks like apple pie or jams for speedygro in the glow worm bin unless you do a massive amount of cake parties
how many Apple's do it needs to make Apple Seeds?
10 apples to 1 seed
(approximately 101k) per 30 days isn't terrible I'd say.
Unless I missed something,
Oh i forgot it doesn't account for fertilizer boost. So that's about 34k for every in-game 10 days, definitely not bad.
id wish for more soils for bigger layouts and more crop space
Also this doesn't seem bad for a starter, though I forgot if you start with 2 or 3.
7k for a potential 10 in-game days
What's the best/most profitable (In regards to how much fertilizer and worms it produces) thing to compost in the Glow Worm box?
apple jam gives 16/16 worm/fert in regular and 3/16 in glow worm. if you are an avid cake party player (gets into cake parties often) then celebration cakes are technically the "best". but only worth it if going into the parties
Hmm,
Full harvest boost+ retain
(However it requires two harvest boosts, since I couldn't find another way to make it work)
For 8 berries/peppers
Interesting. Thank you for the info! I'm not sure how to go to cake parties, I'm afraid but I'll look it up.
It's literally just; ask a group of folks to come along and bring materials.
That's all. It's like any other time you ask to make food with folks just with... A lot more than usual.
#1143270926394335282 might have some cake parties going on you can ask to join
Here is one I made for 9, which does not require any fertilizers
I have to harvest apples and bushes first, don't I? I didn't notice apples were ready so I harvested the crops around it and when I noticed, the examination said there was no boosts active.
That shouldn't change anything. Once the apples are ready to harvest, what would a boost do ? Unless the harvesting was a trigger to take the boosts into account but that would be really...
Does anyone know if putting apple jam in worm farm give you more profit or not 
I have seen a farm plot with bunch of worm farm and was wondering if it will be worth investing making a lot of then
is there any chart on star quality chance related to farming level? i have heard that it apparently increases the chance but couldn't find anything concrete online. Also does the same concept apply to mining for gems?
I heard that when you are level 25 farming you will get guaranteed star grade crop out from the star seed but I havenāt seen any data
I am level 25 in farming rn and I am definitely only getting star crops from star seed
Nice
apple jam gives 2 instead of 1 glow worm if thats what you mean. also item sell value of output is higher than input
Ah no not the glow worm farm, just normal worm farm
oh, let me check
I just did the calculation and find that you would get 160 gold from worm farm each apple jam
i think so, think it gives 4 more worms and 4 more fertilizer
for star quality, right?
Yes star apple jam seems to give 16 worms and 16 harvest boost fert
yeah
but its just 16 gold profit for one hour of wait
Personally dont think its that worth it
True,, but I think if I have like 10-20 worm farm and sleep on it
Maybe it will be? š
I only have 120 jams rn but if i fit 18 apples jams in each worm farm it will fill up perfectlyā¦
I guess, but you would also prob. need just as many preserve jars to keep the worm farms up, no?
if you want to keep it going 24/7
Trueee š I have bunch rn but I definitely need to get get more construction certificates thing
Maybe I should stick too cakes⦠but they also take like 2hrs 
I mean if you have the slots, i guess its smart to use them all, i dont have that many to spare tho. Turning to jam gives 48g profit per cycle and worm just 16g, i feel like its not really that worth it, but maybe if you can scale it up enough
Yeahh or maybe
You can only buy 30 crafting licences so you won't ever be able to have 20 worm farms working at full time
Dang

So many blueberries ahahaha
I have one bush and itās enough for me ahahah, I like to grow apples, someone just made a layout with 100% water and harvest and I wanted to make one too, bc I think this two combined are nice+ u can speedygo the blueberries and it will be water retained, harvest and gro boosted
Let me know if you have a plot for me to peep
Oh, I have a few layouts depends on the preferences :> My plot has 6 harvest apples and one blueberrie+one soil for other needed stuff, but itās not water retained, so I do it by hand
Here is my layout I use
I also have a few lazy layouts, most money and every crop used at least ones
I donāt like using fertilizers except speedy gro, so my layouts mostly donāt contain any except this, which is not mandatory
If you let weeds grow on any 9 unimportant crop you can basically forget that mechanic, by the way.
So I typically aim for water retain, and then harvest boost. Thanks for the ideas.
I dont mind picking weeds, as I have to water my plants either way ahah
Thatās a nice very combo
I like yours especially as an early low skill requirement layout, because it would as well work with spicy peppers instead of blueberries and yield a lot of starred produce without having to fertilize, when used with peppers.
Ohhh, thatās true, havenāt even thought about it like this
Oh I see. Thanks a lot lads!
btw it is not a bad idea to use ferilizers as soon as you get the recipe for quality upgrade fertilzer - made from bugs, meat and sundrop lilies, which gives newbies a reason to hunt and catch bugs and pick some flowers. Doing this leads shortly to a few achievements for using fertilizers and harvesting quality crops, which helps getting an apple seed earlier than without those guild medals later on.
you can't remove crops once they are planted until you harvest them right?
you can i know it's "x" while holding the hoe on switch, but you lose the seed. i seem to only get it to work when there is a step of growth on the plant
you can move the plot around as long as you don't have overlapping crops (meaning you don't have a crop sharing another plot
i see thank you
Apple seeds can also be received thru certain friendship quests too if anyone wants them sooner than the medals
||Nai'o and Zeki||, I belive.
Another all crops 100% harvest boost/water retain without ferts
2 apples, 2 blueberries, 2 peppers
But just 1 carrot, 1 onion, 1 bok choy (might be a bit short for cooking purposes)
I have a question for you gardeners š§š½āš¾
I try to grow normal quality crop but when I harvest it, it becomes star quality. I havenāt fertilized in like forever. What am I doing wrong š
the chances also increase per level, eventually you arent gonna see normal quality crops anymore lol
anyone else unable to plant spicy pepper seeds in their garden?
is there a perk to growing normal quality crops?
It takes up a space of 2x2
ohhh ty
not really, but sometimes it can be annoying to only have star quality version of some ingredients for cooking
on pc you use your hoe with the right mouse button instead of the left, it will damage the crop (looks like when chopping wood) until you have a clean tile again, if you continue with your hoe and right mouse button it starts getting sandy again.
At the moment you cant fill requests from players with star quality and can only be regular quality
Didn't it transform star quality into normal quality when giving before ?
Yeah and for me it still does that with fish? But cant send any crops at all starred rn it just doesn't let us
Dont know if this was asked, but is it a feature to be able to pick a crop more than once at the same time?
if it is harvest boosted, you get 2 harvesting results for one crop, that is why you can get like 19 starred apples and 5 normal apples from harvesting a single apple tree at a time.
but you still pick just once, getting both results if the boosted phase has a different outcome. If both are the same, you will just get the total result of 24 (starred) apples.
For example I picked all four of my blueberries but it let me pick them again immediately after
A result of 19/5 happens like this: first phase 100% quality = 12 starred apples, boosted phase 60% starred quality (0.6x12 = 7.2) results in 7 starred apples and 5 nomal = total result 19/5
oh
I didnt know if it was a feature or a bug because it only happens sometimes
likely a lucky bug
Happens sometime to my tomatoes too
are those effƩcted directly adjacent to apple trees?
They are
and more than one tree
then I guess this happens by applying the effect of speed boost twice generating 2 extra days, which cause another extra day and voila 2nd harvest - but this is certainly a bug in my mind.
Interesting. Just know that I am totally not abusing this, just a happy accident
with your tomatoes pay attention if this just happens to those tomatoes, which are touching both, an apple tree and a blueberry. If my guess is correct, this should not happen to those tomatoes, which don't touch apple tree and blueberry at the same time.
I will have to keep an eye out and let you know
I got lucky. Picked up a blueberry seed at level 8 from the lucky coin machine!
Yeah those are definitely going to be your best cash crop until apples,
Though honestly since apples take a 3 by 3 space, I wonder if just putting... Hypothetically 9 tomatoes would give you more profit in the end (if you keep it water boosted and harvest boosted)
you don't need any apples nor blueberries for good money, this here generates 5k/day based on the wonder vegetable bok choy, if it is seeded. Instead of 68, 4 seeds are worth 88 - so it generates nearly 100% more value instead of 50% like all the others. It's likely a bug or a kind of easter egg for us to figure out, who knows.
well I assume all star quality with it.
btw attempting to make it water retained, would cost more than 1000 gold per day, it isn't worth going for water retention.
or simply put water retain fertilizer on it, if you really need that feature.
Why that layout instead of a traditional 3 by 3?
How do I make HarvestBoost Fertilizer? Like what should I put in the worm farm?
It's the default for the glow worm farm.
Starred potatoes seem to be the best at first glance
You can get on the normal worm as well Iāll check and let you know
Why waste your sweet leafs for that?
When apples are the best for speedy grow by far.
Unless you don't have any available
Pretty sure it was like 17 speedy grow per 1 starred apple
does anyone have a good layout for farm with only basic seed that bought from zeki?
Whaaaaaat, I didnāt even check the book choy as seeds, nice obsevation 
If solely about money you could place bok choy everywhere and it will make 6k a day
Itās actually insane how harvest and grow boosted bok choy perfumes as well as harvest and grow boosted apple lol
performs maybe ? Not sure about bok choy perfumes but you do what you want š¤£
š
LOL, it was autocorrector
But well, fresh veggies smell nice
I could use some help/input on this layout. I am aiming for maximum 2x2 yield. Blueberries or Spicy peppers. Unwater-retained cells are targets for weeds to land, but will try to keep one of each crop if possible: https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-11-11-11-11-11_CROPS-NNB.HNNB.HNNB.H-B.HTNB.HCbNB.HPN-B.HB.HB.HB.HB.HTPRB-B.HBBCbBBBCrW-BBBBBRTCbB-BBBWBBBPCb-BBBBBTCrRB-BBBPBBBCrW-BBBBBB.HTCbB.H-BBBB.HBBB.HPCb
Adding in 4 harvest grow fertilizer to the right bushes, there are also 10 blueberry bushes that can receive speedy grow, but that seems overkill and offsets the collection rate. Other thoughts?
Made this layout with 100% water and harvest with 10 bushes
If u donāt need them to be water retained more bushes could be placed
if i plant star tomato seeds will i only get star tomatoes or is it just higher chance of getting star tomatoes
depends on your level. the closer you are to level 25, the higher the chance you will get mostly star crops from star seeds. once you are at level 25-49, you will only get star crops from star seeds. at level 50 and above, you can get star crops from regular seeds that you get from zeki
The chance of getting a star crop is 2% per level + 50% if using a star seed
so like it caps at 50%?
No it's as @clear kindle said. If your level is 25, the chance is 50% + 50% if star seed. If your level is 50, the chance is 100% and it doesn't depend on the seed
level 25 gardening ?
yes it's the gardening level we're talking about
im level 3 lol so ig thats 50%
With your star tomato seeds that would just give you a 56% chance of getting star tomatoes yes. But the level will go up real fast anyway
To simplify it a bit
Chance of star seeds = 2% per each gardening level (+50% if you used star seeds)
I think you were right about the double harvest because my blueberries disappeared one harvest early
why does speedygro fertilizer hate Maji's love?
I have Apple trees at 36, 45, 54 and 63 speedygro. They were all planted and fertilized equally. 9 weeds exist on non-apple crops which do not get harvested.
The least grown trees were also trying to run away from their soil plot designation, as all of them overlap soil borders
Is there a bug with speedygro, a bug with growth on misaligned crops, or maybe new issue requiring a wacky confluence of weeds, fertilizer and alignment error?
I stare at these jerks as it changes to 6:00 am and they do nothing, it's so frustrating!
If you are trying to maximize profits by using Preserve Jars on items like tomatoes (great time/cost ratio), what would be a great layout?
My current layout gives me in Raw Average (Palia Garden Planner) 4,263 /day
What level are u and do u have bushes or apples?
Can u also show ur current layout?
Sure, sec, my garden is level 120, I have star seeds for every fruit and veggie, let me link the layouot.
weird, it didnt save it
Level 120 whaaaaaaat

For some reason it isn't saving the setting of everything to jars or seeds
It doesnāt do that:>
Crap is expensive in this game, and before I decided to save 1,000 apple seed packets, this was my favorite layout
I jar the tomatoes and corn and I seed the rice (or use them for cooking when needed).
And when my supply of seed is low, I turned them to seeds as needed
The planner takes all of that into account
Can recommend u two layouts for 6k a day
Here u jar apples and corn and seed everythings else
And here seed everything except jar corn:
Let me change the settings. I love the planner but they really need to let you save your settings.
Do you include replant and replant cost? Because I am only getting 4,202/day
I do o thinkš
I found the difference, it is closer to 7k per day but you need to use fertilizer
U included the grow boost?
I did now
oh.. with replant cost we are back to 6k
growth boost barely affect my layout, lol
Yeah, as I said 6k, didnāt figure out how to go above 6k ahaha
Bc grow boost is best for apples, rice and bok choy I believe
Thanks @vernal bluff, since I hate to fertilize, since I usually forget or use the wrong one (only do it for the weekly Accomplishments), I think I will stick with mine. It yields about the same /day amount.
Plus I already have enough RNG with the damned Star palium gems.. They really need to fix that.
You can change the fertilizer once you place it by putting a different fertilizer on it instead
I know. I just hate going through all that extra work. Easier just not to use any. Not much left to buy, so when I get enough, I will buy more of each type of room, until they are all capped. That should take a couple of years.
Can I get some help please? I am gardening level 12. I do not have apples or bushes yet. What should I be doing to both earn money and also have food for crafting? Currently I just have 9 full plots of tomatoes, and have been selling the seeds for whatever I dont use on Veggie soup, but I have way outleveled veggie soup.
True. I am not a big fan of fertilizer either, but if I have it I might as well use it
I just stuck 100 fertilizers
by esthetical reasons, I found a clearing in the forest to the east, which fits this kind of garden well in between large trees (those you can plant yourself never grow that tall) and just costs me 4 writs early on to own it. Later the space for the rest of my house requires just 5 more writs to have a 15 room home with 3 fireplaces and an atrium yard without having destroyed much of the forest. There is even space for the extruded window overlooking my garden.
And because I'm not the type to do things in a way everyone else does them š
yes,but it is likely to be a bug, a typing mismatch by a dev most likely typing 88 for 4 starred seeds instead of 68, which would be the normal 50% increase.
So don't count on it to last.
@vernal bluff I just plant some bok choy in between spicy peppers and blueberries, to avoid getting into the trap of eventually exploiting a possible bug. I'm not certain that it is one, but given that all the rest crop is fairly balanced around 50% value increase with any additional enhancement step, I'd bet on it being a bug and pretty much every terms of service forbid exploiting possible bugs.
If I fertilize something. And after watering amd growing a bit the fert disappears. Do I need to re fertilize it , or is it in the crop already
you can put stacks of the same fertilizer (up to 100 per crop) so that all of it isnt used in one day
Where i can get the Apple tree seeds?
Tyā”
Get honey lure recipe, request 12 apples and put them in the seed maker, guild coins are hard to come by,
Also i believe theres some naio or badruu quest where they give it
Still takes a lot more work than the previous cooking bug
Yeah, it sure wonāt last, but good observation nevertheless
I donāt think thatās an exploit, as u still need to do a lot of work, 20g difference is not such a huge difference
Agreed, we had the previous cooking bug pop up unexpectedly and we got about 29k for cooking up one ramen; thats pretty huge compared to 20g after putting in actual effort (we were new and blessed and this was before people knew how it worked)
I see it based on how the whole crop and post-processing is balanced, This is quite well done and always around 50% more value - normal to starred, seeded, jarred every such step adds roughly 50% in value, just not bok choy seeds, they add 100%, this is why I think this is probably a mistake by the devs.
That could be a mistake, but using it is still not really an exploit, you still do so much work
much work, it is invoke bok choy seeds, and then to harvest and replant E, click,click - done, next one -where is this work?
or even just one click, once the first replant is invoked.
Replant every second day+apply fertilizerss, mb even water.
Itās nothing compared to the big cooking bug with 50k in 2 minutes
I do that every other day, because that is enough, at 2am and don't leave before 6am, work on it a 2nd time and then I'm out and about for like 40hrs, it is not much work at all.
And unlike the cooking bug, which u could just not use, are we supposed to not to plant a new veggie now
I do it in moderation, I have planted it in between blueberries and spicy peppers, but I definitely avoid a 6k/day focus on bok choy.
Yeah, I planted it near my trees and on a free soil plot, still a nice cute addition to income
I made that layout example more to show, that it might be worth thinking about other garden layouts than just apple gardens.
Apple gardens are nice, especially if u can log in to garden a few times a day and they give the most money (if we donāt count bok choy)
yeah, for seasoned players that is corect, but if we just show end game layouts, this isn't helpful for new gardeners, they need the feeling,that they can achieve good income as well with those crops, they have access to, and it is possible.
But yeah, depends on ur preferences also, it does not fit for everyone
not to talk about the insane skill gain with harvest and speed boosted bok choy, this is just crazy.
Yes, itās not the only way to do tgings, level should also be taken into consideration
what makes apples so valuable is the fact, that starred apple jam just gets over the threshold to get 3 glow worms in glow worm farms instead of 2, this is 50% more than the next best jam/food can achieve.
Indeed. I'm still set on an all crops layout even at level 85. It's just one way to enoy the game. It's not like there's that much use for money. I mean trying to get as many rooms for houses I'll never build is not that motivating.
For me itās more about the money, as after I started producing growth boost I have so many glow worms
that is so true, @slow flame
Weeeeeelllll, I can only say⦠PLUSHIES FROM ZEKI COINS
I take it slow now, took me a while to get, that there is nothing worth buying and that a lot of money is in the end not worth aspiring for now. So I test different gardens and enjoy myself basically. There is no rush, because Palia has no end game.
So true, I also take my time with everything as it is a chill game to just relax and have fun, there is no competition 
I'm yet to switch to my latest garden design (all crops, 2 apple trees, 2 peppers, 2 bluebs, 100% harvest/water retain). Also considering sacrificing 9 crops for weed prevention for a more hands off way when I want to focus on something else. Still adjusting with what I seed, jar, sell directly with my current design
Can't do it all even with 13 jars and 11 worm farms. It's more stress than it's worth to strive for a few thousand golds more a day
Can we see the layout?
lol, yes, this is the thing to learn, more possessions mean more work in the end, because in game you cannot hire staff and managers to run it for you, so you will be the one working.
Niiice, I like 100% water and harvest, when I get lazy again, gonna do one too ahhaha
Sad u cant send ur friends on ur plot while u are not there

How do u have so many jar makers and worm farms
yeah, in the end it is switching gardens, when you are flooded with too much crop of the same type - this is not a bad thing, running the same garden for longer is just work and no fun.
Trueee, thatās why I have one empty soil plot I use for what I need at the moment
I even separated it from the main part lol
figuring out how to transition from one garden to the next while it is still live and active is a puzzle I like to solve, my kind of brain game.
btw did you see that something has changed in the north of our housing plot, there is an old mine which leads to nowhere still, but when you look at bahari bay, they moved the outskirts fast travel to an old mine in the west, which leads to nowhere as well. I guess at some point in time, our housing plot might be connected to bahari bay via this old mine in the north of our housing plot.
Yeah, thatās what most ppl are guessing, the only question would be be why moving the outskirts fast travel
Here is one I made: Itās 100% harvest, and almost all star boosted, It has every veggie at least twice
Around 3.5k
(If u seed bok choy and rice, jar corn, tomatoes and potato. If u have more seed makers and jars, u can do more)
easy access to fast travel. Think about how it currently is. You left your housing plot, glide over towards central stables and after a short walk you can use fast travel. With a direct connection to bahari bay you would basically have access to fast travel right after leaving your housing plot via that mine.
This is my current "everything" layout. My goal is low mantenance, so 100% water and weed is core. Unfortunately, it's not truely "everything". I would like to fit corn in there at least. Any ideas how to add corn while keeping a balance of crops?
It's 6x9 becaue I haven't bothered to get the last 3 dirt plots yet.
I don't include cotton because it's needed selectively. So when I run low I just do a "cotton planting".
You can easily do a 3 corns, 3 wheat, 4 rice without changing the rest but I suppose that's not what you want
im able to buy carrot, onion, potato, cotton, tomato, wheat, rice and corn seeds at my current level n i got 7 soil plots can someone tell me what the best things to plant are n how to like what layout ( i want max profits n maybe not having to be online or active so much) i have just under 4kgold rn
If you buy the 3 plots, I was using this before. It's a true "everything" with 100% water and weed.
Does anyone have a guide for which items are better to preserve vs sell raw?
Is there a point to applying fertilizers every day before harvest, or is just the day before better?
it needs applied every day to do much
it absorbs it every 6am when it does a growth tick
Is there a benefit to watering before or after applying it?
Someone posted one to Reddit, it's not mine
no difference when you water as long as you water before 6 am 
Interesting, though the conclusions at the end are a bit dubious. And of course taking the worm farms into account after that still add to the complexity.
Ty
Yeah I liked having the info handy!
I have a freeform board I use for info like a whiteboard for the game
A few things I have put unreliable on lol
Question, do I need to add multiple fertilizer instead of doing it once? Bc I threw it down on the new crops but it isnāt there anymore?
The fertilizer last only one growing tick of the plant, so every day at 6 the crop eats the fertilizer. U can stack the fertilizers by laying more of them, so that u donāt have to apply it every hour
Ah okay ty!
do tomato plants ever need to be replanted?
after the fourth harvest they will disappear and need to be replanted
ty
there is currently a bug, where whole stacks of fertilizer can disappear on some spots when you leave or return to your housing plot. This is currently under investigation by the dev team, but as it is very hard to reproduce, it can take a while until it's fixed. So if you encounter that issue, then fertilize that spot before 6am and don't leave your housing plot before 6am - this is kind of a work around for this issue. You can logout on your housing plot without to cause this bug though.
Ah alright thanks so much!
how does the fertilizers work? do I have to keep using them to keep the buff? or is just one enough?
cause it seems to disappear after a day
oh nvm its been asked loll
What's the name of that app?
Nice this is way better thanks!
glad it helped
don't put 2 of the same kind side by side, like those 2 corn f.e., because they won't give each other boost. Use something of the same category (i.e. wheat, rice) instead and potato or tomato with the nappa cabbage instead of 2 or more nappa cabbage side by side.
hm, bok choy might be intentionally this way and it's values not a mistake. It really depends on how you look at the resulting profits and what can be done with the end product. Given that the resulting kimchi is equally weird dependent on what you want to do with that kimchi. But overall I'm thinking now, that bok choy is intentionally this way and not by mistake.
We'll see after the next patch. Some recipes are still weird saying they need bok choy and nappa cabbage but not using them once you cook, oil and soy sauce sometimes counted together and so on. I'm sure there will be some changes there. They might as well adjust the prices.
yeah, I wondered for example, why the heck I should cook this kimchi recipe, if the resulting focus isn't worth it.
There is not a big advantage using a 3x3 layout compared to mine, it is just marginal and sometimes my irregular garden layout has the advantage, that I can just slightly shift the 9th plot. Overall the 3x3 layout has 40 missing neighbors, my layout has 42, so it has a slight disadvantage in regards to boosting crops, but it's just marginal.
It would be true if you only consider 1x1 crops. When you try to put as many bushes or apple trees as you can, you can have more leeway with a standard square layout. I'm sure there are exceptions but overall it definitely makes it easier.
Freeform it's on apple. Built in app
I have 14 2x2 on no apple tree layouts, and with apples I can easily fit 4 apple trees plus 6 berry bushes like this https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-11111-11111_CROPS-Cr.QW.QCr.QA.QA.QA.QA.QA.QA.Q-A.QA.QA.QA.QA.QA.QA.QA.QA.Q-R.QBk.QO.QB.QB.QCb.QB.QB.QP.Q-Cr.QB.QB.QW.QB.QB.QCr.QA.QA.Q-NNNNNNA.QCr.QR.Q-A.QA.QA.QB.QB.QR.QB.QB.QW.Q-B.QB.QR.QB.QB.QB.QP.QT.QB.Q-W.QA.QA.QB.QA.QA.QB.QA.QA.Q-A.QA.QA.QA.QA.QA.QA.QW.QP.Q-A.QB.QB.QA.QB.QB.QNNN
there is no problem to get it done, it does not have to be a 3x3 layout.
the problems start when you want to get 2 boosts that aren't growth, like a weed/water or harvest/water layout
otherwise there is not reason why it would be more difficult indeed
why would I even want water retain, when I have to harvest every other day anyway, it makes no sense at all with my layouts.
and weed prevention,yeah, I get it when I focus on bok choy, but I'm not planting those for weed prevention but for profits.
I am only interested in growth and harvest boost supported by quality fertilizer, if required, all else is of no interest to me.
The most boring thing for me is checking where I need to put fertilizer. So I'm doing no ferts layouts now
and I don't need quality boost
but when you have done it a couple of times, you know by heart, where you have to fertilize. It is a matter of practice.
I have to fertilize, because I run 4 characters and 2 of them are below level 25 still.
if you manage to keep it synched, which I don't
I made a new layout inspired by Rhihlia's earlier this month (#š±āgardening message).
Main goals:
- Grow more cabbage (I currently only have 10 regular seeds)
- Save up money by selling seeds and jars depending on crops
- Eventually incorporate bok choy
Feel free to give any suggestions! I'm new to making layouts myself and wanted something symmetrical. 
unless you just do huge stacks ?
I don't have to synch anything, rice and bok choy grow in 2 days with speed boost, so I have to harvest them any other day anyway and I don't need to be there more often than this as well, if I return every other day at 2am do the farm work, wait for 6am, do the farm work again and then I can be out and about for about 40hrs before I have to return and the whole thing repeats. I don't need water retain.
I'd rather water retain than cope with the Switch lag as much as possible. š¤·
What are you putting on your worm bins? Im struggling now that I heard I shouldn't be putting cakes in there anymore. I have 4 apple trees and 4 blueberry bushes and I used harvest boost for them
Also I guess I should be making apple seeds instead of jams?
Apple jams sell for more than Apple seeds
I thought apple cakes were best to put into worm farms
I guess this has changed resently, there is a small difference now
Gonna check it right now, 24 minutes for my put cake
But yeah, I also put apple jams
in bins?
Yeah, in worm farms
If im correct with my math, 10 starred apple cakes are woth ~2500 in worms and fertilizers
Does anyone have any more information on Bok Choy and Napa Cabbage in regards to farming?
the wiki is pretty bare.
Do we know how long it takes to grow, what benifits it has on other produce etc?
Bok choy: 3 days to harvest, weed prevention boost
Nappa Cabbage: 6 days, water retain
It's written on the seeds description
Nothing changed. One cake gives 140 of fertilizer and 140 of worms, so 280 like it was before
Which is 18g difference
Glow worms or reg worms?
So I have been selling my cakes and should have been putting them in worm makers??
Difference to what? Im loosing my temper with this cakeing thing and with every other ppl telling that you should worm them and others telling not to
The raw starred apple cake costs 262, what you get from the cake by putting it into worm farm is 280. So itās 18 gold difference. Itās not very much, so if u just want to lay them there u can or if u need fast money u donāt
Reg worms
Itās not a huge difference, but u can, yes
Ok, ty for clarifying! š
can i destroy plants that have been planted? it's ok if I lose the product
^I played around with trying to create a somewhat lazy bok choy harvest+growth boost farm with water retention, can we fit more bok choy with a more efficient design? will it be horrible to harvest + fertilize?
yes, use secondary action (right click or X) with your hoe equipped and aimed at the plot
tysm!
Just set this up cause it seemed interesting, exactly how many seed makers and jars do I need, and doing what?
I would say at least like this:
(But I might be incorrect, so adjust and try out different things)
2 seed makers (1 rice, 1 bok choy) (+at least one to keep up with the stock, but better two)
3 jar makers (2 for corn, 1 potato)
+u can make fabric from unstarred cotton and sell it (but starred sell)
starred cotton is better to sell as-is, but regular is better to turn into fabric? Thank you for getting back to me
solid 6.1k/day with post-processing. There is no lazy bok choy layout, if you speed boost it, because you will have to harvest every other day and you don't need to return to your farm more often than that anyway, if you return every other day by 2am, do required farm work, stay at your plot until 6am, do farm work again and leave afterwards for about 40hrs.
I'd recommend not to overdue it with bok choy. If it performs too well it is likely to get nerfed, and we don't want this to happen, do we?
Thanks for your insights! I think I'm leaning toward going back to apples only due to ease of use. It seems I'm just less interested in min/maxing gold gain for maji plushies than I thought I'd be š
That said, to your last point I believe in a quote that follows roughly:
"The player does what is efficient, not what is expeceted. Fun is the anticipated byproduct of that exchange."
So I see it as the player's job to discover the meta and all the exploits along the way, and the dev's job to continue curating an experience for the player to then continue to deconstruct and digest.
sorry for the disjointed rambling, was in and out of queues and didn't get it all out in one take!
no, that isn't just not your job, any terms of service of pretty much every MMO forbids the use of exploits and using them can get you suspended or even perma banned.
This said, I do no longer think that bok choy is by accident this way, but it's values perform a bit too well for good in a bok choy focused garden. I think it is great for newbies to gain skill quickly, but if others overuse bok choy, it will certainly get nerfed and we all lose.
As a long time member of the school of Exploit Early Exploit Often, I respectfully agree to disagree. Many things can miss dev oversight and the players doing stuff with them is just another means of data collection. I think forbidding exploits in TOS makes sense as a boilerplate legal disclaimer, but in practice I wouldn't want to continue playing a game that bans players for performing free QA rather than correcting potentially illicit gains and rehabilitating said player
of course it's not my job to test this game, but if information is uncovered that is mutually beneficial to myself and s6, I am in the business of accepting aforementioned illicit gains as recompense for my pro bono performance
so i was trying to figure out the gardening things does any one know y only these 2 onion n carrot doesnt get the effect or is the game bugging cuz all the rest do
maybe visual bug
I see well I can't see cuz it doesn't show but like yeah u get what I mean
just water them and you will see the information change, it's really a visual bug
What's the best fertiliser to use?
depends on what you want/need. fertilizer should be augmenting the buff that you are missing. if you want a lazy garden plan, and are planting the water retain and weed prevention crops, then harvest boost or speedygro would be the fertilizer to use for example
I was wondering if you can only unlock one soil per level. I have 6 soil and it says my purchase limit has been hit. Iām level 6 gardening
You can only have a max of 9 plots total. All of them are unlockable at level 2 but the cost of each plot increases
If you only have 6, did you put some in storage or another plot?
They somehow ended up in storage š¤¦. Ty!
Did something changed with tomatoes or potatoes? I've been using this setup for months now and this is the first time thins happen and I have to water my tomatoes after picking them up.
did you wait one full day after they were ready to harvest ?
Nope. I stop playing before 6AM IG last time. Unless I didn't really paid attention to the time it was but that shouldn't be the case.
If they became ready to harvest when you were offline, and you came back a bit before 6am, you could have missed it. But you know better. It's just the only thing that I see that could explain it. Maybe someone else will have an answer.
Probably what must have happened and I simply didn't noticed the time it was when I logged off last time. Thanks for the explanation
I've just had an unstarred jar of pickled corn from a star corn. I didn't know it was possible. I sometimes get unstarred seeds but I had not seen it in jars.
I had seeds, but I didn't know about pots
does star seeds give a higher chance of star produce?
Very much yes
yep, but once you reach level 25 you will always get star crops from star seeds, then at level 50 you will always get star crops from regular seeds
ok ty!
The fastest way to lvl is to plant the crop with the shortest harvest time?
I'm not sure it makes a big difference either way because the longer the harvest time the larger the experience (roughly at least, I've not seen any real data). What will make a real difference is if you tend to your garden every day or not.
Oh I thought only the harvesting counts as xp
That's the case yes. But the crops which take longer to be ready to harvest give more xp when you do.
What's important is to design your garden to fit your playstyle. If you're not going to water, weed and harvest it every palian day (every hour in real life), design a garden with water retain and weed prevention boosts (can be done through fertilizer too). Harvest boost is a must too.
10 APPLES FOR ONE SEED?!?!?!!!! I just got my first apple seed and planted a tree. Then I looked in the seed maker and its 10:1. That tree better produce a hell of a lot of apples.
Thanks for listening.
make sure to harvest boost it
I did.
It also produces more than 1 harvest so that helps the ratio
harvest boosted apple tree should give 24 apples per harvest
I'd quality boost your first tree then make at least one starred seed and then harvest boost from thereon out
Hi, I want to ask which day I have to fertilize? Just last day before harvesting, or I have to fertilize throughout the growth. big thanks 
My first apple tree.
fertilize through out the growth, you can stack the same fertilizer on itself up to 99 units. just keep in mind that the blueberry and spicy peppers take 4 fertilizer per growth tick while the apple trees take 9 per growth tick
anyone have a good 9x plot layout for max. spicy peppers harvest, but 100% lazy (pre-apples)?
I can't wait for my apple tree to not be crooked anymore lol. No idea how this even happened.
Also don't judge my layout, I'm just having fun with it
It's pretty.
afaik this visual bug only occurs on plants that are overlapping multiple farming plots. it'll probably happen again in the future if you keep your apple trees there, if you moved them to the corners it wouldn't
doesn't matter on the order, but yes, better to have fertilizer on the crops at each growth tick, but you can stack it up to 99 units per square, though blueberries and spicy peppers use 4 units per growth tick and apples use 9 units per growth tick so you go through it quicker
boo. Thanks for the info!
i am trying to figure out a garden design that maximizes the crops i can get for cooking parties (apples, blueberries, wheat in particular). Does anybody have any good layouts they use?
Do u need it to be water retained or you donāt mind watering it?
i would prefer it to be retained but it's ok if its not
does it help to do quality increase boost fertilize 5x on a crop
Water retained (5trees)
Water retained (4 trees, 1 bush)
The onion does not play any role, u can plant any crop instead
wow i appreciate it so much!
And Here is one without water restating with 6 trees and 2 bushes:
The extra soil plot is to plant anything else u need
wonderful - thank you!
Fertilizers stack, which means it is not 5x boost, but it will be enough for 5 days
ooh luckly my setup is 4days max xD
and luckly i would only tested 5 first before upstacking
The unused fertilizers will return in ur bag (for apples and bushes) or be used for the next plant
ooh thanks š so ya can't lose overstacks
5 apple trees, harvest boosted 100%, water retain 100%
wow ty!
can use weed fertilizer to prevent weeds if you want to, or, once you have enough wheat can actually replace the wheat and corn for carrot/onion/bok choy for 100% weed and water retain (ultimate lazy) and use harvest boost on the trees only
or can use this layout and put speedygro on the trees if you don't mind weeding
oh thats smart tysm!
also - how many apples do you get for each harvest?
with harvest boost? 24 per tree, 120 for all 5 at the same time
at least with my layout
but i also don't use speedygro, so not sure if that affects the number
got it ty!
i do the ultimate, ultimate lazy setup. on mine i use bok choy/onions instead of the wheat/corn for 100% weed and water and then i only harvest the apple trees since i sell apple jams and worm farms
smart. i'll do that when i have enough wheat!
i just like going out doing other things such as mining and fishing to get my money so gardening isn't the main goal. obviously, harvesting everything would make far more money, and i'm sure that there are better plot designs but this one works for how i play
does anyone have a farm lay out i'm only lvl 3 or 4 and i have max farm plots too
for lvl quick and for money
good point. i'm a college student so am busy and low effort gardening sounds wonderful to me!
honestly? when i started out i just did rows of tomatoes and potatoes (both will water retain each other) and went back to pick the weeds (for both the few gold they offer and also for the achievement) but somewhere in this chat there is a link to a google doc that has a bunch of layouts for beginners
thank you i'll have a look
SpeedGro Fertilizer just speeds up the growth of your crop not the quantity you get from harvest. At least that's what I read on google
yeah tomatos take a bit to grow
Just use SpeedGro Fertilizer to speed up the growth so you can harvest the tomatoes faster.
Do you have a link to this layout on the planner itself? This is just what I was looking for!
https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-111-111-111_CROPS-TCRPBkTBBCb-CrTOCPSpOWSp-CPCbSpRCSpCrBk-BBWCrBkOCbPT-AAAAAAAAA-TPCbOCCoCoBB-OTSpBkWSpPCbC-SpRCbSpCOBkPT-PBBBkCbCCoTO
Depending on your level, the quality boost on the apple tree is not that useful, a growth one would be better.
thank you!! 
just take your watering can and tap it above that tree and it will readjust itself.
Oh, good tip. I hadn't tried that since I only water after planting. Just tried it and it works fine
Quick question if i for example have growth weed and i let them in the ground and i plant another crop
do i still have the harvest boost ?
from the wheat or does it only work if it's a not fully grown seed
new weed plot layout ive been using š gardening over 25 with star seeds gives this 100% weed prevention, 100% quality boost, 100% water retention, and 100% harvest boost with 0 fertilizers so you can use speedy grow if you want growth boost as well! no plant in the middle 1x1 spot but still, 28 1x1 options spots, or 4 2x2 and 12 1x1 option spots, or 4 apples.
and apple option
what boosts do you get from your gardening lvl post 25, is it just the quality?
It's just the quality yes, though nothing specific really happens at level 25. It's just that the probability of getting star quality produce is 2% per level with a 50% bonus with a star quality seed. So at level 25 the probability becomes 25x2+50=100% if you use a star quality seed. Likewise at level 50 the probability is 100% even with a normal seed.
so anything beyond 50 is just an achievement? not the best channel to ask, but do other skills have similar boosts? or at least increased probabilities? (for example gold/silver chances)
gardening 24, so im about to do away with cotton for a bit after next harvest. also thanks for your reply
Cooking level probably helps getting star quality too. But yes, levels aren't all that important overall
Just got my first bloob seed from zekiās prize machine š®
what's that? lol
just realized, lol. nice!
i would gift you some, but i've only got hq š¦
Youāre so kind š„¹š itās okie!! Thank you sm for the thought!!
How do I un-till my soil? :3
switch is X with tilling tool and pc is right click
need to hold it down (to prevent doing it on accident)
sorry what i said was for destroying crops, but also destroy a couple crops and it'll get untilled
forgot to clarify
that's actually what I meant š I wasn't aware crops could be dug up. It's always harrowing when I plant, one miss-click and the entire layout is done for. I feel dumb not knowing this earlier!
Omg my bestie
how do you have your garden set up ? im looking to make money this way i have all soil and seeds š
Found two 6k/day farms from another user, you can also plant literally just bok choy or criss cross bok choy and tomatoes if you want water retention. Harvest boost and speed gro are good buffs from fertilizer or companion crops.
Not sure what the optimal profit layout is, but it's probably not fun to maintain. Ease of planting/growing/harvesting are important and personal factors which should be considered when choosing your layout.
Good luck and have fun!
do you have a picture
Actually wait I forgot to mention processing methods, you want seed makers for some crops and preserves jars for others. Worm farms add a little bit more profit to preserved food by feeding worms then selling the resulting worms+fertilizer.
More processing is a little more profitable but requires more bandwidth (available crafting stations and time to process + switch out input/outputs.)
Yeah if you click the link in my first reply that says gardening, it will redirect you to a post that contains two different links to garden layouts
do you use star seed or normal seed?
and which one do you sell? star or normal?
bcs what i always do is
sell the star fruits/vegs, and the normal one i take to seed maker and then farm them then repeat
I like having 5 apple trees, the tomatoes to water and the 12 plots in the middle row get swapped for different crops i need
i should be using soil on everything , somtimes i sprinkle it all over but i make a point to keep my apple trees topped up on harvest increase
So does anyone know or know where i can find out how harvest boost fertilizer works?
Like, can i just add it seconds before a harvest and it works maximally?
Am i wasting harvestboost fertilizer by fertilizing apple trees the second i plant them?
Xo Worried Fertilizer
Itās better to plant starred seeds until u hit level 50. They increase your chances to get starred crops and starred are more valuable. And I would recommend to seed or jar the starred veggies as well before selling
Every fertilizer works the same, you can put it any time of the day and it will be used at 6am when the plants make their grow tick. You can also stack fertilizers, meaning lay e.g. 5 of them and it will be used 5 days and u donāt have to apply it every day
But if I stack 99 fertilizers on a freshly planted apple tree the grow ticks will uselessly consume the fertilizers (i guess 9 per grow tick) where they dont grow apples?
So its better to just add fertilizer when the apple trees are fully grown?
And also no, if u add it seconds before it wonāt work, it should be applies during every grow tick of the plant
Thank you!
Guys.. am I a bonobo?? please explain to me a noobie, why is tree only receiving one benefit while it has all these other crops around it?
An apple tree needs 3 adjacent slots with the same boost to get the boost itself. Like 3 wheats will give it the harvest boost. 3 onions the weed prevention and so on...
oooohhhhhhh, okay, that makes sense why then, thanks
It's 2 for the bushes, and 1 for the crops that only occupy 1 slot obviously
Why isnāt it actually receiving the quality boost? It has peppers and cotton? Visual bug?
It does look like a pepper bush at the back indeed. That's weird.
The nearby one is also a bush ahahahaha, but not clear what bush
clearly a blueberry bush
Trueee, then itās missing grow boost as well?
Ah no, you meant the one under the 'examine' text ? Could be either
Could u send us your layout?
It seems u might have some visual bugs
ANOTHER ONE
Loool
No no, I meant the one near the pepper, Iām outside now, so couldnāt see well, that itās a blueberry
I had missed one š
So it should have either the growth or quality boost or both
It should have both
i just harvested the pepper tho
U donāt need 3 blueberries to have growth boost
Only 2, so that they have 3 one crop space covered
The right side is ok to have growth boost
yea but the boost was not there so i planted one more and now its there
U can plant a pepper instead of bloob on the left and have quality boost
I think it was a visual bug

It's better than testing by planting
I'm sure most of you know way better than me but I feel like giving an update on my very first apple tree in Palia anyway.
At the beginning of this week, I got the free apple seed from Nai'o. I asked here about planting it and tending it after seeing it took 10 seeds (TEN SEEDS!!!) to make a new seed and I was worried.
Listening to those suggestions, I surrounded the tree with other plants to boost harvest amount, boost quality, water, and keep it weed free. I made sure that every time I logged in, I would check and keep those bonuses applied.
The first harvest took forever (12 palia days according to the wiki). I got 17 star apples and 7 regular apples (total of 24 apples). I have now had a few of the apple harvests and gotten well over 20 apples each time and always well over 10 of them star quality. So, thank you for the suggestions.
I've also made a bunch of money. I've been harvesting and rep-planting the other veggies that surround the apple tree as they ripen and when I get 30+ of each I've put them in the preservers. One time I made over 12K from selling the stacks of veggies from the preservers.
I've got a few apple seeds in reserve now (some non-starred, some starred) and haven't sold or processed any of the apples I'm saving yet.
Thanks for reading my wall of text. Next I need to find blueberry seeds.
i would seed the start plants for star seeds then everything you harvest will be star pretty much. once you are gardening 25 it will be star garunteed
for money, what would you like to choose
harvest boost or stars boost
harvest boost
just got to 50!!!!
you can do a very simple setup for 2 buffs with this layout
just pick the pairs of crops for your buff
i did this setup for a very long time using harvest boost fertilizer on the 4 outside corners for ease of use gardening
dont need to water, weed, and its all harvest boost for decent profits per day, very easy and lazy set up
every gardening level gives 2% chance of quality boost, and star seeds give 50% chance, so if you are gardening lvl 10, you have a 70% chance of getting star crops when harvesting.
at level 25 gardening with star seeds, that setup is 100% water, 100% weed, 100% quality, and 95% harvest boost (100% harvest boost with 4 fertilizers per day)
and if you want to push profits further, jar the tomatoes, carrots and corn, seed the bok choy and potatoes, and sell rice as is. I never did that because i was lazy and you need a lot of preserve jars and seed collectors to do that successfully
you can seed the corn instead of jar it if you want
not much difference for corn
Rice is better made into seeds and sold as such š
ah
You get 4x seeds per rice and they sell at 11/16* each as seeds
i see, yeah, i never bothered with most of them, when i did seed or jar them, i never did rice just to keep some profits coming every 3 growth cycles
I made this chart for starred crops and things you can do with them for reference
Mine is interactive. Ascending preserve price for ex.
im a beginner but i really like gardening, i was wondering how water retention works - does it last indefinitely? or for just one extra day?
is there a layout for water retain + no weeds for then me to put other crops where ever between?
like this? just rotate 90 degrees for the plots next to it
so this?
Yeah thatās what Iām using basically
Should cover all the plants you throw inbetween
Iām sure thereās a more optimal pattern but Iāll test some stuff out after I eat
awesome, thanks man.
gunna chuck tons of wheat and corn on since i has 0 atm

Heya! I used your Lv. 25+ layout and changed it a bit to create this.
I'm not super experienced with creating layouts myself, so any constructive comments are appreciated. 
very nice 
Thank you! Your Google Doc helped me a lot.
Does anyone have a layout thatās has everything on it? With 100water and hopefully 100 weeds prevention
Thank you!! Finally got my apple tree and didnāt know where to put it
Hi! I currently have four soil plots/patches and was wondering if anyone had any advice on what could be a lucrative layout that is also minimum upkeep? š
Heres mine if it helps!
.?
my experience is that it lasts as long as the plant (that gives the water retention) is there. even when grown. i use a 100% water/weed layout with apple trees and the apple trees are always watered (once the plants are grown they still give the boost). though with some of the plants after i harvest them they do require to be watered again
I'm looking for an apple jam garden layout with no weeds or watering. How many preserve jars should I have for maximum gold? Any help is much appreciated.
that is the one that i use. 100% water and weed with harvest boost to the apple trees
this layout gives me 120 starred apples (i'm over level 25) per harvest
Should be turning the apples into jam or seeds?
i do 2 stacks into seeders to get my replacement seeds then the rest into jams. don't ask me how many preserve jars are needed to maximize this layout, i'm sure someone can tell you, i just play very differently to have only 6 preserve jars down and i usually have a lot of extra apples in storage
Mkay thanks
6 jars sounds good enough to split apples amongst
Youd want more if you were going to preserve more crops
Can I apply a stack of fertilizer to a square in one click somehow instead of having to click 99 times?
not yet, maybe one day
Current layout 
Darn, was really hoping. There's a lot of (unnecessary) repetitive clicking in the game right now IMO as a person that has RSI.
This is so helpful, thank you!! āŗļø
Sooooo. If I have all starred seed packs. Do I still need/wanna use quality up fert? Or they supposed to be up already? Ty
it depends on your level. if you are close to level 25 or higher, star seeds will always give star crops, at level 50 all crops will be star crops even from regular seeds
if you are not close then probably having cotton or quality up fert would be advisable
I'm 24 so I guess I'll use them a lil longer. Ty for the knowledge as always
somewhere there's the math for how many crops will be starred using star seeds.... something like 50% plus 2% each level or something like that?
Works for me ty ā”
Thank you! I think this is my favorite so far. You used everything. Going to save it for when I finally get apples and blueberries
It's better to use harvest boost fert on it though. I also have a similar one with 2 apple trees but just the minimal amount of rice, wheat and corn:

Very low harvest boost rate unfortunately
Will we ever get the option for more garden spaces? The uneven number is hurting my brain and I need more room š¤£
As of right now I think it would make it a bit too easy to get gold, but later on when thereās more stuff I think it would be a really good idea
Id really like more creative ways to garden, like different plots
anyone got a a good all or most crops lay out?
I'm using this with water and harvest boost: https://palia-garden-planner.vercel.app/?layout=v0.2_DIM-111-111-111_CROPS-WCrSpTPSpRAA-SpCrRSpTCACbO-PTPWCrWBkCoR-CrAATAACbPB-ARWABBBBB-PTPTWTPCrW-RCrBSpSpPSpSpT-BAAWAARAA-APCoACbTACrR

I'm sure you can find more symmetrical layouts, those I posted are made to have 2 100% boosts without fert, but using fert is good too
thanks
