Farming

Farming is the heart of StepHarvest: plant seeds, water them with banked steps, and harvest crops to sell, craft, or gift.

How crops work

• Buy or earn seeds, then plant them on your farm grid. Planting costs steps, with the exact cost varying by crop.
• Water each crop ( 50 base cost) to keep it growing. Unwatered crops never die, they just pause until you return.
• Crops grow in real time. When a crop is ready, harvest it for free.
• Harvests roll a quality tier: Regular Silver Gold Pristine.
• Some crops grow on a trellis, and special crops (marked ★ on their pages) are rarer finds with higher payoffs.

Crops are not season locked. You can plant any crop in any season, but a crop grown out of its season always comes out at the lowest quality tier. To have a shot at the higher tiers, grow a crop during its own season.  Parsnip, for example, is a Spring crop, so it does best planted in spring.
