Potato
Potato is a crop grown from Potato Seeds on a Crop Patch. It ripens in 24 min when kept watered, and each ripe cell gives 1 Potato plus 1-3 seeds back.
Slaves eat it from a House pantry or from your hand. One Potato restores 30 hunger, which ranks it 1st of 6 crops.
Growing
Plant one Potato 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 9 min 36 s | 0 to 7 min 41 s | 0 to 1 h 36 min |
| Growing | 9 min 36 s to 18 min | 7 min 41 s to 14 min 24 s | 1 h 36 min to 3 h |
| Tall | 18 min to 24 min | 14 min 24 s to 19 min 12 s | 3 h to 4 h |
| Ripe | 24 min | 19 min 12 s | 4 h |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Potato | 1 | 1 |
| Potato Seeds | 1-3 | 1-3 |
| One random other seed | 8% | 8% |
The silo adds 25% to the seed roll, rounded down.
As food
Every unit eaten restores 30 hunger. When you hand-feed a slave (stand next to it and press E) it also heals 4 HP, which works in The Pit too.
| Crop | Hunger | Heals |
|---|---|---|
| Potato | +30 | 4 HP |
| Corn | +28 | 4 HP |
| Strawberry | +22 | 3 HP |
| Wheat | +18 | 2 HP |
| Garlic | +12 | 2 HP |
| Cotton | +1 | 0 HP |
