Tato harvesting

[Grimes]

The tooltip says 17/hr .... does that mean production is 17 per hour, or one every 17 hours?

Not the second one, unless its game day hours, though I don't think its 17 tatos and hour either. I think it might be your camp produces up to 17 crops in an hour.

I've waited way longer than dividing an hour by 17 would take for the surviving crop to grow when things get smashed by this bugged settler I can't kill.

Ive never understood how that works or if it works properly cause I swear I can harvest some gourds, walk to my vendor, price something, walk back outside and one of them has already grown back

its per hour of real time
but here is the catch they only grow to the storage space they have like water makers so if you stood at 1 plant for 1h real time and pulled every one that spawned you will get said amount per hour
same with all the makers of items
crops max space is 2
water gen is 5

17 per hour shared with all plants of the same type in a camp.

So if you plant 17 Tato plants and come back an hour later, you'll have 17. If you come back 30 minutes later, you'll only have 8 spread across 17 plants.

Aaaah.... so the point of having more plants is to increase the storage space and thus reduce the amount of times you need to return to base to pick them, if you wanted full production? That's .... it's not logical with how plants work, but it's clever.

You can use turbo fert grenades to make spawn immediately. The plan comes from the settlers gold bullion guy.
