Farming

## About

Farming is one of the biggest custom additions on Origin Realms. You can farm custom crops to earn Rubies. This is currently the best way to earn rubies without the involvement of players since Badger Tasks have been removed. All custom seeds can be planted in a Planter Box. After the seeds have fully grown you can harvest them. When harvested 1 of the planted crops drops. They may drop in different qualities; 1 star, 2 star, 3 star or golden.. They can be sold to Jacko on Jacko's Farm, at Spawn.

(NOTE: You can still plant the Vanilla seeds the Vanilla way, but not through the Planter Box. This includes Wheat Seeds as they are renamed Seeds.)

## Seeds

There are eight different types of new seeds in Origin Realms. These are:

You can plant any of the custom seeds by right-clicking the top face of a Planter Box with the seed of the choice in your hand. Alternatively, right-clicking the Planter Box empty-handed allows to put in multiple seeds into the slot (up to 64).

## Soil

Before the 0.4.0 update there used to be 3 types of soil; Small, Medium and Big Bag O' Soil which have been replaced with the Bag O' Soil purchasable from Jeckyl in Jacko’s Farm.

Soil affects the crop's star rating when harvested. In order for the soil to take effect the soil needs to be put into the planter box before the seed else-wise the soil will be applied for the next seed placed in the planter box.

You can place soil by right-clicking the top face of a Planter Box with the soil in your hand. Alternatively, right-clicking the Planter Box empty-handed allows to put in multiple soil into the slot (up to 64).

Soiled crops are indicated by a lit up icon within the Planter Box' GUI. Do note that soil is not required for the crop to grow altough it is highly advised to use.

## Watering

Water can be applied to a sprinkler or a planter box to increase its water level using a bucket or a watering can (right click on the Planter Box). Once watered a planter box stays watered for 1 day meaning crops need to be watered everyday.

A crop will not grow unless watered. A watered crop is indicated by a lit up icon within the Planter Box' GUI.

## Crop Quality

Crops come in 3 different qualities ranging from 1-3 stars as well as golden crops. Stars determine the sell value of a crop and is essential to make profit. The star quality is dependent on the following factors:

* Soil applied to a growing crop -> higher quality
* Farmed manually with an enchanted hoe with custom farming enchants -> higher quality
* The material the hoe is made of -> Netherite = best quality
* Farmed automatically with turkeys -> lower quality
* Farmed automatically by breaking them with water -> lower quality

For the best quality crop it is adviced to always have soil available in a Planter Box before placing the seed in as well as farming your crops manually. Alternatively it is possible to place 3-Star-Guarantee or Golden Goods fertilizier in the Planter Box altough this is not viable.

Golden Crops may grow whenever perfect requirements are met (watered + soiled). Golden Crops are affected by both fertilizier and hoe enchantments. The chance for a golden crop to grow is ~1%.

## Semi-Automated Watering

Sprinklers can be used to semi-automate the watering process. By right-clicking a sprinkler with a filled watering can or a water bucket water can be added to it's container. Sprinklers have enough capacity to water plants for 5 full days which is enough for all crops to fully grow. Sprinklers come in 2 variants:

* Wooden Sprinkler | Waters a 5x5 grid minus the block the sprinkler is placed on for a total of 24 crops
* Iron Sprinkler | Waters a 7x7 grid minus the block the sprinkler is placed on for a total of 48 crops

The capacity of the sprinkler is shown within a small bucket on the sprinkler model.

## Fertilizer

There are various types of fertilizer. Only 1 type of fertilizer can be used at a time. You can place any of the fertilizer by right-clicking the top face of a Planter Box with the fertilizer of choice in your hand. Alternatively, right-clicking the Planter Box empty-handed allows to put in multiple fertilizer into the slot (up to 64).

#### Produce Multiplier

Produce Multiplier will increase the yield of a crop on average by x2.5. Produce Multiplier is economically more efficient the higher the crop's sell value is.

## Mechanics

All crops on the server grow at 7:00 AM in-game time. A crop can only grow if it is watered and not fully grown. Depending on the type of crop it may take 40-100 minutes for a crop to fully grow. Crops also grow when a player is not at their farm/realm or if they are offline.
