Description[]

Gardening is not only great for your Benignity but it is also good for your crafting and food chests. Planting different plants and fungi increases your reputation and therefore makes the game's difficulty much easier. This makes it so that if the Player is feeling a bit cramped or uneasy about the amount and level of the monsters that are spawning, Gardening is a great way to reduce the spawning of higher tiered creatures. All plants have a lifecycle in which your garden or trees grow. These steps can help you determine if your plant is ready to harvest or gather. Each of the steps means something different for each plant and fungus. Every plant is unique, including the resources you can gather of harvest from each of them. If you attempt to gather from a plant too early, you may not get the full amount of resources.

Gathering is a destructive process, meaning you will attempt to gather everything from the plant. Some vegetables and fruits require this to get the edible portion, such as potatoes or carrots.

Harvesting a plant will only attempt to get what will keep the plant alive and/or sustainable. This is not always an option for all plants, and sometimes will only result in getting their seeds.

You can attempt to water plants (by using the "Pour" action on water containers with fresh water) or plant them on fertile soil to reduce their growth time and increase their fertility for spreading. Pouring seawater onto plants or trampling them will lead to an extension of the growth cycle or destruction of the plant.
