Ranch Simulator: Basic Guide to Growing Crops

• Build a [small or large] garden plot
• Small costs 10 wood planks and grows 1 plant
• Large costs 18 wood planks and grows 2 plants
• Buy seeds at the general store
• Come in packs of 10
• Plant seed into plot
• Take a water bucket and water seed
• Plant drinks water & advances growth every 5 in-game minutes
• Only when the sun is out (6:00 – 20:00)
• Don’t let the water level get too low
• Once the growth bar is 100 it’s ready to harvest
• Most plants provide multiple harvests without replanting
• If the grey bar is full, the plant is dead – remove it
• Fertilizer makes plant grow faster
• Automatic sprinklers need to be within radius of the water windmill

• Water plants frequently, especially when you leave the ranch and when you come back
• If you’re just starting out, go with cabbages until you’ve planned the layout
• Avoid strawberries until you got your sprinklers up & running
• I don’t think grapes are worth it
• Buy a composter first
• Hold the basket/cooler and press E on the ripe plant to harvest all at once
