Farming (SoSAWL)

There are many crops you can grow in game. Basic Crops are available for purchase at Vesta's Farm. At the start of the second chapter the protagonist will be able to make Hybrid Crops by interacting with Vinnie, there are two versions of hybrid crops: "weird" crops, made by breeding two basic crops together, and "rare" crops, made by breeding two "weird" crops together. 
Certain crops are harder to maintain than others. Seeds can be bought from Vesta's farm or made with the Seed Maker. Fields must be tilled with a hoe before seeds are sown. Each crop is in one of three categories: basic fruits and vegetables, root crops, and tree crops. Crops thrive in different seasons and certain crops won't grow in all field types.
==Raising Crops==
===Buying and Raising ===
Certain crops will only grow in certain seasons. If planted in the wrong season, crops will either die or grow slowly. Plants need to be watered at once daily to grow, except when it is summer in which case plants need to be watered twice a day. Adding fertilizer regularly will raise its grade as it grows. For example, fertilizer applied twice a day will bring B crops to S grade after a few days. The amount of fertilizer required to raise a crop's grade depends on the crop being grown. Crops will mature through their stages at either noon or midnight depending on what time you planted them and the length of their grow cycles.
Soil quality varies between fields. The field next to the player's house isn't too fertile, while the one next to the chicken coop is average, and the third field can be purchased later in the story that is very fertile. Some crops will only grow if the soil quality's good, the seed's info tab will tell you which soil to plant the seed in. If growing crops have reached S rank you will not be able to put fertilizer on them and the leaves of the crop will turn a darker green. Fertilizer spreaders can be ordered to fertilize fields automatically twice a day at 8am and 8pm. A Fertilizer Maker can also be purchased to make your own fertilizer.
A table below shows the seasons during which each crop will grow. It is ideal to plant them on the first day of the season so they will be ready near the end of the season. If planted after the first day, the crop may wither if the next season is not its ideal season. The price is per bag of seeds (one bag of seeds is equal to one square on any of the three planting fields).
Trees need a 3x3 square to grow. A table below shows an ideal planting pattern in the poor quality field that allows 15 trees to be planted. A tree can be fully harvested twice in the season they bear fruit to produced roughly 16 crops in total, after which the tree will show flowers instead of fruit.
A few days after a fruit or vegetable flowers, it will start ripening and then it can be harvested. Root crops can be harvested a few days after their flower wilts. Trees need to be fully grown for their crops and will start flowering before they bear fruit. Trees can be shaken multiple times and ripe crops will fall to the ground. The outline square around the plant will turn orange when the crop is ready to be harvested.
=== Watering ===
In all seasons but summer (where crops can be watered after 7 AM and again after 7pm), crops can be watered once a day after 7 AM. Raining may replace hand watering, though it may not cover both waterings in summer. Fruits, veggies, and root crops need water daily while trees do not. Soil can be watered if it appears lighter.
===Fields===
In the first year there are two fields available for the player to grow their crops, the poor field and the good fertile field. Starting in Chapter 2, after producing a hybrid plant for the first time, the large third field, the amazingly fertile, will be available for purchase from the ledger after talking with Takakura. Field fertility has no effect on the quality of the crop grown as a (B) rank see will always produce a (B) rank crop, the only way to raise quality of a crop to (A) or (S) is to use fertilizer on the crop as it is growing twice a day. Field fertility may contribute to the amount of fertilizer needed to raise the quality of the crop. Generation 1 crops can grow in any field, Generation 2 crops will not grow in the poor field, and Generation 3 crops can only grow in the large amazingly fertile field unless a sageoil flower is used when creating the hybrid crops. All trees can grow on any field.
Below is a chart on what fields crops need to grow on.
Crop Category	Field 	Field
Crop Category	Vegetable 	Fruit Tree
Basic (Gen 1)	All 	All
Weird (Gen 2)	Fertile, Amazing	All
Rare (Gen 3) 	Amazing 	All
Below is an ideal pattern to plant trees in the poor or good quality soil fields. Trees must be spaced out in a 3x3 square. The ideal pattern would have 15 trees. They are best planted in the low-quality soil next to the player's house. t = Tree Location

==Seed Maker==
The seed maker can be purchased from the ledger or obtained from Daryl by befriending him in Chapter 1 only. Certain crops are worth more as seeds or can be used in the future. One crop will produce two seeds in the seed maker. The quality of the seed will depend on the quality of the crop placed in the seed maker. 
==Breeding Crops==
Hybrid Crops can be made starting spring of chapter 2 by interacting with Vinnie. There are two types of hybrid crops:"weird" crops (Gen 2), made by breeding two basic crops (Gen 1) together, and "rare" crops (Gen 3), made by breeding two "weird" crops together. Hybrid Crop seeds can be made from the harvested crop themselves or from the seed of a crop. There is a chance that Vinnie will fail the breeding process and will produce one of the seeds used in the breeding process instead. The success rate of the breeding process is dependent on the player's luck stat for the day, which can be checked by watching TV in the player's house. Note: Vinnie will not accept the crop form of a carrot when attempting to breed crops, the seed version of a carrot must be used instead. 
Generation 2 crops will have names that are a combination of the names used in the breeding process. For example: a Turnmato is a combination of a Turnip and a Tomato. When the player creates a Generation 3 crop variant for the first time Vinnie will ask the player to name the new crop. Be sure to write down, on a piece of paper or on an online document, which Gen 3 crop you named. Tables showing which Generation 2 crops to breed will only be using the basic name for Generation 3 crops (Crop 1, Crop 2, etc.). Generation 3 crop names cannot be renamed once named in your save file. Blue crops can also be created via breeding a basic crop with a trickblue flower. Only Generation 1 basic crops can be used to make blue crops. 
Flower DNA can help crops, specifically happy lamps, sagesoils, upseeds, and trick blues, by breeding a seed with one of the mentioned flowers with Vinnie. It is important to save those specific flowers as the player will only have a limited supply of some of them such as upseeds. 
To gain a tree that produces S rank fruit easily take a S rank crop and breed it with any tree seed and Vinnie will produce an S-Rank version of the tree seed used. Note that this will not work on tree seeds that were converted with a Trick Blue flower, doing so will produce a blue crop seed of the S rank crop used in the hybrid process, abundance of fertilizer twice a day for months will be required to gain a S-Rank blue tree. 
The Large Amazingly Fertile Field will be available for purchase after the player talks to Takakura after making a Hybrid Crop for the first time. 
=== Flowers===
Using Vinnie to breed crops with flowers have different effects on the seeds/crops produced. The flowers that can be used with Vinnie are: Happy Lamps, Sageoils, Trick Blues, and Upseeds.
====Flower Effects ====
By breeding a crop with a flower a symbol will appear next to the seed name, indicating that a flower was used on the produced seed. A seed can be used with all four flowers, gaining all four attributes from the flowers.
Happy Lamp: Using Happy Lamp flowers creates a seed that is able to grow in any of the four seasons (Useful for valuable or slow crops that only grow in one season). Will have an open diamond symbol on any seed bag that is produced from breeding with this flower. Will display "Can grow all year!" when looking at the info of any seed bag produced from breeding with this flower. Forageable in Summer
Sageoil: Using Sageoil flowers creates a seed that is able to be grown in any soil quality. (Useful for "rare" Generation 3 crops that require the large field). Will have a filled-in diamond symbol on any seed bag that is produced from breeding with this flower. Will display "Grows in all types of soils" when looking at the info of any seed bag produced from breeding with this flower. Forageable in Autumn.
Upseed: Using Upseed flowers creates a seed that will grow an S-Rank crop. The seed bag will be blue and the rank next to the name will change to (S). Forageable in Winter.
Trick Blue: Using Trick Blue flowers creates a blue version of the crop with a unique appearance and name. Blue crops are separate crops from their non-blue counterparts. Only Generation 1 crops can be turned into blue crops. Forageable in Autumn and purchasable from Van for 100G per flower.

===Generation 3 Hybrid Fruit Trees===
Gen 3 Hybrid Tree crops will be named by the player when made for the first time. The table will use the default names for the crops before being named. The default name for Gen 3 Tree Crops are Crop 1-Crop 9 but are different from the non-tree Generation 3 crops that share the same number. When harvested you will get 8 crops per harvest, with 2 harvests a year, for a total of 16 crops per tree.
