Pots and trees

Pots

A pot grows fruit by itself: no tilling, no seeds, no water. It adds one fruit at a time until it's full, then waits for you. It keeps growing while the game is closed, so a pot that fills in an hour is full when you come back tomorrow. Tap it to put everything it holds into your bag.

Pot fruit counts as a real harvest. Each one rolls its own rarity, gives XP and adds to that crop's mastery. If your bag fills up, the fruit that didn't fit stays in the pot.

Pot	Unlocks	First one	Each extra	Size	One fruit every	Holds	Full in
Raspberry Pot	L3	Free gift	×2	1×1	20s	10	3m 20s
Apple Tree	L4	Free gift	×3	2×1	8h	3	1d
Blackberry Pot	L50	5,000	×2	3×1	40s	40	26m 40s
Grape Vine	L150	60,000	×1.6	2×1	6d a bunch of 12	3 bunches	18d

You're given your first raspberry pot and your first apple tree. After that, the first one you buy costs 400 (raspberry) or 15,000 (apple), and each price is multiplied by the "Each extra" figure for every one of that kind you already have. Fill times are before mastery.

Picking up a pot you bought refunds what the last one of that kind cost. A gifted pot refunds nothing, but you get it back to place again.

What mastery does

Each pot gets better as you raise its crop's mastery, but not in the same way.

• Raspberry and blackberry pots grow bigger. They hold 1 and 4 more berries for every 10 mastery levels. They don't grow faster, so a bigger pot just lets you stay away longer.
• The grape vine grows faster. It always holds 3 bunches of 12 grapes, but every mastery level shortens the wait. At mastery 50 a bunch takes about half as long as at the start.
• The apple tree grows bigger and faster together, so it always fills in about a day. A tree you check once a day is never wasted.

The speed-up divides the grow time by 1 + 0.064 × mastery^0.72. It never stops improving.

The fruit

Fruit	Sells for	XP a fruit	Order value	Best use
Raspberry	8	1	10	The Duplicator
Apple	500	100	600	Selling
Blackberry	40	3	50	Station fuel
Grape	2,500	100	1,200	The Reserve

Once you own a berry pot or vine, its fruit can turn up in your orders: raspberries and blackberries in several kinds, grapes only in Royal Contracts. Apples are never asked for. Berries sell for very little on purpose: each one has a job, below. Apples are the exception, worth selling from the day the tree arrives.

Blackberries: station fuel

Stoke any crafting station with blackberries and its batches cook 25% faster. Each Common blackberry adds 1 minute of fuel, measured in cooking time, and fuel is only used when a batch starts. A full blackberry pot is 40 minutes of faster cooking. More on the Stations and crafting page.

The Duplicator and the Reserve

Two machines, bought in the Structures menu. Each works on one thing at a time and finishes while you're away. Tap it when it's done to collect.

The Duplicator (L100, 3×1)

Pay in raspberries to copy one item from your bag. You keep the original and get a second one.

• Cost: raspberries equal to the item's base sell price, times five for each rarity step of the item. A Common wheat worth 5 costs 5 Common raspberries.
• Time: a tenth of how long the item takes to make from scratch, ingredients included.
• Price: 150,000 for the first, doubling for each one after.

The Reserve (L160, 2×1)

Pay in grapes to age up to 20 of one item one rarity step, for example Rare to Mythic.

• Cost: 1 grape for every 10,000 of value the ageing adds, and always at least 1.
• Time: 1, 2, 4 or 8 times as long as making the item, for Uncommon, Rare, Mythic and Dreamlike and beyond. Never under a minute or over 20 days.
• Limit: it can take an item one step past the rarity your mastery has unlocked. From Dreamlike on, there's no mastery limit: it ages Dreamlike to Dreamlike+1, +1 to +2, and so on. This is one of the only ways to get fruit above Dreamlike.
• Price: 400,000 for the first, doubling for each one after.

The Reserve holds your items while it works. If you cancel a run you get the items back, but not the berries. The same goes for the Duplicator's raspberries.

Neither machine takes Green Manure or watercress.
