Quick Gardening Guide
Unlocking the Garden Blueprint
To unlock the Garden blueprint (square or circle shape), you simply need to find a Hose. Hoses can be acquired from the Supply Room in the Kitchen Area on Level 2. Picking up a Hose will unlock both garden blueprint varieties.
Required Materials
To build your garden, you’ll need:
- 2x Plastic Scrap (found nearly everywhere)
- 1x Wooden Plank (found nearly everywhere)
- 2x Hose (from Level 2 Kitchen Supply Room)
- 1x Soil Bag (from Level 2 Kitchen Area)
- All materials must be crafted at the Crafting Bench.
Obtaining Seeds
- Tomato Seeds: Found in Kitchen Area on Level 2
- Anteverse Wheat: Found inside the first portal (can be recycled into other seed types)
- Super Tomato Seeds: Crafted from materials
Getting Started
- Craft your desired garden plot
- Plant your seeds inside
- Fill the plot with water (max 400ml)
- Refill water when it gets low
- Wait for the plant to reach Stage 5
- Harvest your crop daily
- Store harvests in the fridge
- Profit!
Tips
- Always check the water level (blue line on plot).
- If the bulb glows red, the plot is out of water.
- You have some time after water depletes before a planted seed is destroyed.
- Around 5-6 minutes to harvest once plant is ready, or you’ll need a new seed.
Note that you can now plant potatoes just as they are to produce potato plants.
Is there renewable water in this game?
In the game, the water in the sinks replenishes every 2-3 in-game days. This means that players can rely on the sinks as a recurring water source.
Additionally, water coolers have an unlimited respawn rate. Players can go to the offices on the second floor and loot 3-5 water coolers every day. This provides a reliable and infinite source of water for the player’s needs.
To cleanse water, you can also fill a cooking pot with polluted water and heat it.
You may get 250 milliliters of clean, purified water by heating up 1000 milliliters in a pot on the stove.
To irrigate a plot, clean water is required.
I have the lead belly trait, thus it won’t allow me fill any containers with tainted water. Is this a problem, or am I doing anything wrong?
Is it okay if I use uncontaminated water directly from one of the fountains or should I boil the water I offer the plants?
I don’t think you can provide the tainted water from your plot; if you need water, boil it like you mentioned or simply obtain it from the water cooler yourself! (Or the full water cooler, if you like)
