**Oregano** is a type of Crop which can be grown in Atomicrops, exclusively by Oregacrow.

# General Description

Oregano functions as Oregacrow's health system like how Heart Beets function for other characters, with Oregano Hearts representing how much damage the character can take before dying. However, Oregano has some other unique features.

Harvesting a Oregano does not automatically restore the player's Health. Instead, the crop is added to the Cauldron beside the well, filling up the cauldron's bar by a certain amount depending on the crop size and whether it was fertilized. Once the bar is full, the player will be given the choice between two upgrades, one of which will be a health restoration of 1-3 hearts.

Oregano is also worth Cashews, being the highest value crop that Oregacrow is capable of growing.

Some Weapons that the player can buy in Town include Health restoration. In this case, the player's health *is* instantly restored.

If the player has full health and chooses to receive more health, whether through upgrades or weapons, they will instead gain  progress towards a new Oregano Heart.

# Obtaining

## Finding Oregano Seeds

Oregano seeds are the highest value tier of seeds that Oregacrow can find and grow. The main source is by growing and harvesting Tomatoes: a mega Tomato drops 1-4 Oregano seeds on harvest.

Three Oregano seeds are also given to the player at the start of every run, from the Farm basket by the well. Some Enemy camps may drop them, and Oregacrow themselves will drop them if their Beet Drop attribute is activated when taking damage. Bosses will also drop an Oregano seed on defeat.

The Oregaweeds upgrade is available through filling the Farm Cauldron, and adds +3% to the player's chance of finding Oregano seeds when cutting Weeds.

## Fertilization and Megacrop Variant

Oregano needs ?? Fertilizer to be fully fertilized. Creating a Megacrop (from 4 Oregano plants in a 2x2 formation) therefore requires ??. Mega Oregano requires a further ?? to become fully fertilized itself.

## Watering

Small Oregano needs ?? units of water and a freshly merged Mega Oregano needs ?? units of water to fully grow.
