Details on growing

• seeds can only be planted in dirt in your house or basement (create dirt by using a renovation wand on a tile)
• use a seed/spore to plant it
• use a bucket on well to create water, as with cooking, and use the water on the seed/plant to water it
• most plants grow outdoors (ie a map in which the sun shines) but mushrooms, blood moss and ginseng must be grown underground (ie a basement)
• plants need to be watered every ingame-day in order to grow - plants will die of not being watered in about 14 real-life days
• plants will die of old age - usually around 30 real-life days but this varies
• plants generally have a number of stages - seed->sprout->youngplant->mature plant->harvestable plant etc but this depends on the species
• to harvest a plant, activate with a-dir
• to destroy a plant, use a hoe on it
• there is no olive press or mill yet so olives are for eating and wheat is for stockpiling
