How it works

Growing and harvesting

Planting pays Item cost and Currency cost unless Input Preservation Chance keeps them, and the plant grows for Interval.
When it is grown, its harvest is fixed at Product, with Regrows regrowths left.
A harvest pays that product, doubled with Output Doubling Chance, and XP. With regrowths left the plant regrows for Regrow interval, and the next harvest is fixed when it is ready again.
A plant with bonuses when grown gives no harvest: once grown it provides its bonuses, and while growing it provides them × Percent bonuses while growing when that is above 0.
Watering applies the plot category's watering bonuses. Composting uses one compost item unless Compost Preservation Chance keeps it and applies the compost's bonuses.
Automated planting, harvesting, watering and composting each pay Automation item cost and Automation currency cost; a plant whose free watering requirements are met is watered for nothing.

Automation Failed (plot category) - Cannot afford automation.: An automated planting, harvest, watering or composting cannot pay Automation item cost and Automation currency cost. That step does not happen.
Auto Plant Failed (crop) - Cannot afford to Plant.: Auto Plant is on for an empty plot, and the selected crop's requirements are not met or its Item cost and Currency cost cannot be paid.
Failed to Harvest (crop) - Not enough space in Bank.: A grown crop's harvest finds no room in the bank. Nothing is lost: the crop is not harvested and stays ready.
