How to make crops grow faster

[Nowonever]

I waited for several game days, but still at seeding stage, what's wrong?

[Jeebus Just]

hehehe, crops is ♥♥♥♥. so longgggggggg. needs a buff IMO. but theres not much you can do after seeding, giving water and feeding poop :)

If your crop plots are located in cold areas they don't grow fast, try somewhere where is always hot, it took me after placing seed in crop ~15 minutes and it's started Fruiting

If you're just seeding basic crops like base berries, it shouldn't take more than a few hours - provided the temperature is in the "temperate" region, as well as being well watered and fertilized.

Farming does take a bit but it is fairly easy. Keep in mind for crops you need fertilizer (or poop) and water. A loss of either will keep a crop from progressing any farther in the growth process and too long it will degrade and the seed will fail.

Keep an eye on the water level for the plot and be sure there is ALWAYS poop in there to keep the fertilized numbers (the brown ones) up. It is more practical to make an irrigation system and setting up a compost bin system for fertilizer. This will lessen the need to monitor the water all the time and keeping fertilization up. Fert will give you WAY more in fert points than using poop of any kind and size.

I recommend building a supply of fertilizer before taking on crop growing again since it may take some time to create it in the bin.

If it isn't working still, well... I have nothing else to recommend to help.

i planted 2 medium crops and put 2 bags of fertilizer in both. i then placed savoroot (potatoes) in one and longrass (corn) in the other.

literally 5 hours later i have 2 and a half stacks of both . i'm on the north western coast.

farming just got a massive boost. it's also very simple. make sure you use actual fertilizer rather than clumps of dinosaur turds

get a trike. never even thought about farming afterwards :) upgrade to stego and you're golden

I wish composting didn't take as long as the farming. It's silly.

Only issue with that is you can't get access to the farming only crops like savoroots, citronals, etc. for buff foods. Lazarus Chowder is like mandatory for deep sea exploration too.

All i can think of (and this has been said loads of times) is to be somewhere warm, irrigate the crops, use fertilizer and hope for the best. It took me 4 hours on singleplayer to grow advanced crops from seedling to fruitling.

They were talking about this 5 months ago.. You're a bit late.

just get a dung beetle and give it some turds, put it on roaming, and youve got more fert than you know what to do with

If you're gonna necro this hard may as well tell them to build a greenhouse, don't think they had those back then either :P
