Greenhouse

The **Greenhouse** is an unlockable location. It allows players to grow crops by planting and fertilizing them.

## How to Unlock

The **Greenhouse** can be unlocked by reading a Deed for Greenhouse Plot. One of the player's pets can be chosen to help to clear space for the first few plots.

## Earth Plots

Earth Plots are the first plots that will be available after building the **Greenhouse**. Players will begin with 3 plots immediately after unlocking the **Greenhouse**.

It is currently possible to obtain up to a maximum of 9 Earth Plots by doing the following:

* Harvest the first 3 crops (+3 plots)
* "Read" Farmer's Scroll (+1 plot the first time)
* "Harvest" Magic Beanstalk (+1 plot the first time)
* Use Gizubi's Shovel to "Bless Greenhouse" (+1 plot the first time)

## Water Plots

Water Plots are plots in the **Greenhouse** that allow aquatic seeds to be planted.

It is currently possible to obtain up to a maximum of 2 Water Plots by doing the following:

* Use Ceremony of Sand and Sea to "Summon the Sea" (+2 plots the first time)

* 1x (random): Algae, Green Dye
* 1x Lotus Flower
* 1x (random): Fish, Mermaid Egg, Scales
* 1x (random): Tentacle, Dark Matter, Sand Dollar, Soy Sauce

## Dark Plots

Dark Plots are plots in the **Greenhouse** that allow seeds to be planted in the darkness.

It is currently possible to obtain up to a maximum of 2 Dark Plots by doing the following:

* Use Twilight Fertilizer to "Summon the Night!" (+1 plot per use, up to 2 uses)

* 1-2x (random): Cobweb, Fruit Fly, Moth, Spider, Spider Roe, Stink Bug
* 1-2x (random): from this list
* Turns into Mushroom if harvested on new moon

## Growing Crops

Crops require fertilizers to grow. Different crops require different amounts of **Fertilizer Points (FP)**.

Each time a crop is fertilized, it must spend one full cycle (12 hours) to use those nutrients towards its growth. Growth is split into two phases: "growing" and "fruiting".

The growing phase only needs to happen once per crop. Once a crop has matured into an adult, it is able to bear fruit multiple times as long as it is fertilized first.

Harvesting a fruiting crop will reset its fruit progress, after which the required fruiting **Fertilizer Points** may be added again, allowing the crop to be harvested when it bears fruit.

## Fertilizer

Certain items (mostly organic matter and some magical items) can be used on crops in the **Greenhouse** as Fertilizer. The higher the grade of Fertilizer, the more **Fertilizer Points (FP)** it is worth, and the faster crops will grow.

### Composter

Fertilizer can be consolidated in the Composter, which can be acquired from the Trader and installed with a pet in the **Greenhouse**. The pet that helps with the installation will receive a large amount of affection.

Fertilizer bags come in three sizes, and they are interchangeable by Cooking:

* Small Bag of Fertilizer
* Bag of Fertilizer
* Large Bag of Fertilizer

**No fertilizer is wasted.** Even if excess fertilizer is placed in the Composter and there is not enough for a full bag, the extra fertilizer will be saved for the next time.

When enough fertilizer value has been placed into the Composter, a random item may be found. Some of the items will have Spice: Rancid applied directly.

* Brown Bow
* Centipede
* Rancid Grandparoot
* Gold Ore
* Iron Ore
* Rancid Paper Bag
* Secret Seashell
* Silica Grounds
* Silver Ore
* Stink Bug
* Rancid String
* Worms
* Talon
* Toadstool

### Fertilizer Grades

Each Fertilizer has a grade that affects how much FP it is worth. Please check the Fertilizer Grades page for exact values.

## Tending the Greenhouse

Tending the **Greenhouse** involves harvesting crops that are ready and removing occasional weeds.

A pet helper can be assigned to tend the **Greenhouse** if the player has unlocked the feature by helping the bees to branch out their production at the Beehive. (The option to help the bees to branch out will only become available after the total number of active bees has reached 2000.) A pet that is skilled in Nature will perform better at tending the **Greenhouse**.

Whenever fully-grown crops are harvested, there is a chance to receive help from one of the player's pets. One random pet in the House may be chosen to help. If the **Greenhouse** has an assigned pet helper, that pet might also be chosen instead, although House pets will still have a chance of helping. Pets that help to harvest crops will have fun and gain a small amount of affection.

### Harvesting

Sometimes, a pet will find an additional item during harvesting. The type of item received is slightly random and affected by the pet's Nature and Dexterity.

* Chanterelle
* Crooked Stick
* Feathers (can transform into Ruby Feather)
* Weird Beetle (rare)
* Witch-hazel

### Weeding

Weeds may appear in the **Greenhouse** after certain amounts of time. These may be removed by a player or by an assigned pet helper.

When a player removes weeds, they will gain 1 random item:

* Crooked Stick
* Dandelion
* Fluff
* Red Clover
* Talon

Pet helpers may gain 1 additional random item when weeding:

* Blackberries
* Blueberries
* Chanterelle
* Coconut
* Dark Matter
* Egg
* Filthy Cloth
* Line of Ants
* Mango
* Narcissus
* Paper
* Pepino Dulce
* Plastic
* Scales
* Toadstool
* White Feathers

For some items found during weeding by pet helpers, the game adds a custom comment:

* Coconut: As a weed?! Weird!
* Filthy Cloth: Weeds are bad enough; what's this litter doing here?
* Mango: As a weed?! Weird!
* Paper: Weeds are bad enough; what's this litter doing here?
* Plastic: Weeds are bad enough; what's this litter doing here?

## Bird Bath

The **Bird Bath** is a **Greenhouse** extension that can be built using the Bird Bath Blueprint.

It offers an alternative action when pets fail during their fishing / hunting attempts, causing them to watch small birds in the **Bird Bath** and providing some Safety and Esteem.

### Birds

Occasionally, when a pet performs an hourly activity, they will notice a huge bird in the **Bird Bath**. Each of the large birds will leave behind an item when approached:

#### Owl

An Owl leaves behind a random scroll from this list:

* Behatting Scroll
* Forgetting Scroll
* Renaming Scroll

Approaching this bird in the **Bird Bath** results in one of the following texts:

* "As you approach the owl, it tilts its head at you. You freeze, and stare at each other for a few seconds before the owl flies off, dropping some kind of scroll as it goes!"

#### Raven

A **Raven** leaves behind an item from this list:

* Black Feathers
* Juice Box
* Lightning in a Bottle
* Winged Key

Approaching this bird in the **Bird Bath** results in one of the following texts:

* "As you approach the raven, it turns to face you. You freeze, and stare at each other for a few seconds before the raven flies off in a flurry of (item)!"

#### Toucan

A **Toucan** leaves behind an item from this list:

* Cereal Box
* Scroll of Fruit

Approaching this bird in the **Bird Bath** results in one of the following texts:

* "As you approach the toucan, it turns to face you. You freeze, and stare at each other for a few seconds before the toucan flies off, leaving (item) behind."

### Cleaning

Occasionally, Oil-covered or Bubblegum'd pets will clean themselves in a random player's **Bird Bath**. Said Player can later clean their **Bird Bath** to get Oil or Bubblegum respectively, with a small chance for a pet to also leave behind an integument.

## Trivia

* If a player builds a Bird Bath with a pet whose name starts with B, (How alliterative!) will be displayed at the end of the build message.
* When rounding has to occur while visually displaying a crop's growth progress bar, the total completed progress may sometimes change after feeding a new fertilizer. For example, a fruiting crop that previously showed 33% completed progress before feeding may change post-feeding to display the solid progress on the left part of the bar as 30%, while the blinking "currently growing" right part of the bar may say 37%. (One might expect the completed side to stay the same at 33%, while the new fertilizer should add 34% on the blinking side.) Fortunately, no progress is lost from this rounding strangeness; it is just a visual issue.
