Harvesting & regrowing crops

What happens after a harvest, including regrowth and preparing the next planting.

Collecting a harvest

The game reads a plant’s yield information when producing its harvest. Tool bonuses and physical-state bonuses can also feed into the yield calculation, so the underlying system supports more than one fixed output.

Plants that regrow

When a plant has a regrowth stage and the harvest-limit check allows another harvest, the game restarts its planting timestamp and returns it to the configured regrowth stage. The exact stage and number of harvests depend on that plant.

When a plant is finished

If the regrowth path is not taken, the plant is removed. The inspected harvest routine also clears the relevant tilled and wet states from the planting space, so check the ground before your next planting.

Planning your next planting

Keep track of which crops remain after harvesting. A crop that disappears and a crop that regrows need different routines; the files do not identify a complete list of either group.
