Cotton
Cotton is a crop grown from Cotton Seeds on a Crop Patch. It ripens in 1 h 4 min when kept watered, and each ripe cell gives 1 Cotton plus 1-2 seeds back.
Cotton is not really food. It is the raw material for the Bandaid: two bales make one. It is the slowest crop on the shore, so plant it early and plant it near a Silo.
Growing
Plant one Cotton Seeds per patch cell. A cell only grows at full speed while it is watered; a dry cell grows at 10% speed. A fresh planting starts watered for 1 min. After that, rain and storms and the workers of a Silo keep it wet.
| Stage | Watered | Near a silo | Dry the whole time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprout | 0 to 25 min 36 s | 0 to 20 min 29 s | 0 to 4 h 16 min |
| Growing | 25 min 36 s to 48 min | 20 min 29 s to 38 min 24 s | 4 h 16 min to 8 h |
| Tall | 48 min to 1 h 4 min | 38 min 24 s to 51 min 12 s | 8 h to 10 h 40 min |
| Ripe | 1 h 4 min | 51 min 12 s | 10 h 40 min |
Patches within 240px of a silo grow in 80% of the time.
Harvest
Stand on a ripe cell and press E (or use a Hoe from its hotbar slot). Each cell is harvested on its own.
| Drop | Normal | Near a silo |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 1 | 1 |
| Cotton Seeds | 1-2 | 1-2 |
| One random other seed | 8% | 8% |
The silo adds 25% to the seed roll, rounded down.
