Mal, on your follow up video, mention the stages for the potatoes before you harvest them. From the 1st min. Seed, 5th min. Seedling, 10th min. Sapling, 19th min. Crossbreed (very short stage), 21st min. Mature Stage, 114th min. Fruiting (that's when you see potatoes. Lastly an hour and 54 mins. in the Ripe stage begins. That's when you can harvest the potatoes. BTY, I notice if you have more G= Growth Speed, it will speed up the process. Also, 1 Y=Yield gives you 1 more potato, and 2 Y=Yield gives you 2 more potato at harvest, most of the time. [BLDRZ] Pinoysaboteur @ BLDRZ Vanilla Mod PvE Server.

My potato plant in the snow took 6hrs to grow 4 potato’s

[@Malonik]

Yeah snow farming is basically hard mode. If you don't want it to take the entire wipe to get a good strain on potatoes going I'd make a little farm in the forest and smash it out there. Try and get as many H genes as you can to help with the cold.

[@Dizzyegg05]

Is there a guide on picking crops ? Depending on what stage of growth gives which results and at what percent ?

[@Malonik]

Not that I know of... You can only pick them once they are fruiting or ripe. During the fruiting stage if you look at the plant it will tell you how many you'll get and that grows throughout the fruiting stage. Once the number in brackets gets above the .5 decimal point it counts that as an extra whole in the harvest. I haven't tested it out when you're cloning your plants but as far as harvesting goes that's definitely how it works.

[@Dizzyegg05]

Malonik cool I was just wondering if it was worth waiting for a higher percentage of ripeness or not . I guess no is the answer for now . Fridges still seem to be useless too so wondering if spoiled food is going to return at some point too . Am I right ? Does food not currently spoil ?

[@lollapaloosa80]

Does the area affect how much water a water catcher collects? Snow/Forest/Desert? As many other commenters, I've got problem getting enough water for one plantern with 9 hemps. 1 large + 4 small wcs chained, and they can't feed my two sprinklers which are on 40% and off 60% of the time.

[@Malonik]

Nah area doesn't change how much water they generate and your issue is a common one currently. I'm actually in the middle of editing a video that will address this issue and show the best current options for dealing with it. That vid should be out in a little under 12 hours. :)

I have given up trying to figure out how to manipulate the genes... it is so difficult when the negative genes are weighed twice as much as the positive ones. Hope you are making progress @Malonik.

[@Malonik]

I'm getting there. What sort of farm size are you trying to do it in?

[@deathntaxeset]

I give up too. Its not working. I had 2 pumpkin plants ripen today. 1 with 3 Y genes. Harvest quantity of 2. Another with 1 Y gene. And a harvest quantity of 4. Facepunch made a mechanic they dont fully understand themselves... Both in the same planter box btw.

[@RalphEvangelista]

All i've wanted in this game was a more robust farming system, i've always tried to build a greenhouse as part of my bases as to not have to be out in the open to get animals as a source of food. im wondering if there are other bonuses to farmed food over wild ones, like does heartiness increase a food's hunger restoration ability? Either way, this will mark my return to the game, just gonna find an empty server and farm, its my rust dream come true

[@Malonik]

Nice! The H gene is the hardiness gene not heartiness so it helps grow in tougher conditions lol. I know what you mean about the farms I always had little caged off farms. The added benefit currently is you can really refine your crops to give you a greater and faster yeild. After they drop the next update to the farming system there will be tier 2 recipes for making proper meals that should have much better effects. :)

Now with berries and potions farming is more important than ever. Thanks for the indepth video it was really helpful!

[@ChoonYang94]

Question, seems like the sprinklers are eating too much water per sec. is there a specific amount of time i should keep the sprinkler on ? say the soil wetness reaches 100% and we stop or something

[@Malonik]

It's possible to have it staggered on and off... Gotta figure out the timing though because you don't want the water saturation dipping too low and affecting the crops.

So I seem to be getting 0% influence on ground temp by running heaters. I have seen many discussions on the "comfort zone" from the heaters. I have a 2X2 grow room with 2 heaters placed in the middle on opposite sides. I have one hung about 2ft off ground and the other about 2ft from ceiling to check heat sphere size. Nothing seems to influence the garden planter though. They are currently 70degrees, whether the heaters are on or off. Any thoughts ???

[@Malonik]

I've found pretty similar things, they seem to be for player warmth not for farm warmth but realistically they should be for both lol. I'm hoping it was just an oversight that they'll fix in the next patch.

[@420inportland]

@@Malonik , seems like the fact that they have "Temp" of your plants as one of the stats for overall plant health, I guess I just assumed they would be able to be used for farm warmth, as well as player warmth. Like yourself, I am hoping it is either a bug or an oversight that will be patched on the next cycle. Thanks for the reply.

[@Supermutantzz]

Is there a way to combine multiple water catchers into one water barrel? like in electricity solar panels use root combiners to combine electricity then to a battery.

[@Malonik]

Not yet but I believe we're getting a new component in the next patch that will let us do that. Not to mention a pump that can be submerged in rivers to pump fresh water straight from them. :)

[@veng3r663]

So at WHAT growth stage are we supposed to harvest these plants..??

[@nolanmods7172]

I have noticed that the splitter will split the water amount evenly regardless if there is flow out of the other end or not.. for example.. I have 2 hoses going to 2 valves. Valve 1 is off and valve 2 is on. Valve 2 still gets 5 water even if valve 1 is off. If I remove the hose to valve 1, valve 2 gets a full 11 water. This makes no sense to me and I think facepunch should update this issue.

[@Malonik]

Yeah that really shouldn't work that way, you're absolutely right lol.

[@pedroromerosanchez6301]

how to drop the water with the water jug? what key must i press?

Right click while it's in your hands. :)

[@engelbrekt87]

is there any information of how much growspeed one G gives and how much yeald one Y give? would also be nice to know how much H give to the ability to survive in the cold... like if a full H plant can grow in like -12 or so... atm i have a 3xG + 3xY plant. and live on the green area near a mountain and the temp keep fk up my plants... also heaters or fire dose not seme to have any effect at all on the plants...

[@Malonik]

I haven't had a chance to get all the figures. That being said Wavey (our local mad scientist) on my discord has theorycrafted the crap out of the farming. He'd definitely be able to tell ya so could be worth jumping on and asking him. Also yeah I noticed the heaters don't help the crops. I'm not sure if that's intended or just an oversight. I'm hoping for the latter but I guess we'll find out later this week on patch day.

[@laughingboy-tk6ut]

nice vid - subbed - food has now become a commodity - selling pumpkins for HQ has been great and seeing zergs with water catchers makes me chuckle

[@willdotexe5653]

i think the splitters are for creating a tank system for barrels from catchers

[@Malonik]

That's fair enough but they've got to up the water generation rate on the water catchers if they want that to be effective on anything other than a monthly wipe lol.

[@matisec3413]

Is it possible to merge two inputs of water to combine them into one stream? It can be done with electric root combiner but what about water?

[@Mekose]

You can't do that as far as I can tell however you can passthrough each water collector by connecting the "water out" to another catcher's "water in", thus setting up a chain of collectors until the last collector connects to a water barrel for storage.

[@Malonik]

Couldn't have said it better myself. :)

[@jessehope2988]

great guide! thanks! stupid question time --- i'm nowhere near this level let, still planting in the ground -- do i need to water my plants in the ground? will that make them grow faster?

[@Malonik]

Nah that's not a stupid question! They won't grow faster with water, that being said the water is important so they don't die. Though if you're going for say cloth then you can likely clone it before it's an issue. Won't hurt to dump a water jug onto them though. :)

[@Malonik]

Thanks! :) Check out my latest video on the farm setups and meta. That's the best we've got currently until we see if facepunch will give us more components or tweak the current ones to handle the demand better. Combine that with the automatic watering system I'm doing in my next video and it should at least be manageable.

[@Mekose]

I'm wracking my head around trying to get a perfect clone. I can get as far as having 3 Y slots but then to breed into those it would over-write the Ys I have. If I have a X - Y - Y - X - Y - X clone and a Y - X - X - X - X - X Clone, how do I breed the 1 slot Y into the first clone without over-writing any of Y's in the other slots? It's complicated. Is it possible to make a 6 slot Y clone?

[@Mekose]

Also does the placement matter? Do I have to put them adjacent to each other to crossbreed? Do they crossbreed diagonally? Do I just have to put as many good genetics as I want into the planter and hope they take over?

[@Malonik]

As far as our testing goes they seem to take on whatever gene is predominantly surrounding it. I'm currently doing tests on genetics so I can get an advanced genetics guide together to help people figure it out. We've gotten pretty close, predicting 5 of the 6 genes correctly. Not quite there yet though.

[@Malonik]

Pretty sure they can take genes from any they are directly connected to and that includes diagonally.

[@Mekose]

​@@Malonik I've been testing by placing good clones (such as 5 green 1 red) on the four corners, letting them mature past the crossbreed phase so I don't accidentally ruin that strain, and then placing the clone I want to breed in the center. I've not quite figured out how but I believe I can get a 6 green using this method if I use four different 5 green clones with reds on different slots so they don't over-take any gene in the center clone. Step 1: place 5 green clones in the four corners. Step 2: Let reach mature. This protects them from taking any red genes from the center clone allowing you to retry infinitely. Step 3: Place a clone in the center you wish to crossbreed. An issue comes up here where if any of the four corner clones have a red gene where there isn't more than 1 of the same green gene in that slot, the red gene will overtake. For example, if one corner clone has an X in slot one, and each of the other corner clones have a Y, G, and H in slot 1; then the X will over-take the slot 1 of the center clone. The trick is to find enough 5 green clones that share the same gene in the same slot. For example. If two of the corner clones have a Y in slot 1 and while one corner clone has an X or a W in slot one; then the Y will overtake the gene in the center clone's slot 1. I think the formula for a perfect 6 green clone would go as follows: X - Y - Y - Y - Y - Y Y - X - Y - Y - Y - Y Y - Y - X - Y - Y - Y Y - Y - Y - X - Y - Y Y - Y - Y - Y - X - Y Obviously this will be extremely difficult to find but using this method you can turn multiple clones into a 6 green gene clone and then from there you should be able to safely breed in more Y's without the risk of red genes over-taking green genes. I've not yet figured out how to breed 2 and 3 red genes out, the more red genes the harder it is to breed safely. I'm sure there's a way to take a number of 2 red clones and slowly breed up to a set of five 1 red clones to use the method I described without having to constantly roll seeds for good clones. Hemp is much much easier to test with because you can harvest and clone before the crossbreed phase, you can also destroy bad clones with a hachet. With potatoes you cannot remove them pre-crossbreed phase; so to roll for good clones you must only place seeds in the four corners or else red genes will over-take every seed. I haven't tested with corn or pumpkins. What I have noticed is that even 3 Y pumpkins only produce 1 pumpkin per ripe phase, whereas ripe potatoes produce 6-12. Cloth seems to go from 30-50. I'm beginning to think that G genes might be more produce per hour than Y genes. Hope this helps! Looking forward to the video on genetics.

I still dont understand what the genes with a black colour do if someone could explain that would be great

The X gene is an empty slot, so it's a negative gene but not as bad because that slot isn't doing anything where as if it was a W gene for example that would make the plant require more water. The X has no negative effect but also no positive effect thus making it a negative gene... God I hope that makes some sort of sense lol.

It definitely is part of the game and by default too (it's not a mod). There's a lot more to do than just hunting people in rust, excellent game that's definitely worth it.

[@aaronlam6929]

@@Malonik thanks for the quick reply! I guess I’m asking if farming, etc, is something you CAN do if you want or if it’s something you need to do to succeed in the game? I think it’s really cool that’s there’s a lot to do and other aspects to the game, but it would also be a bummer to put all the work in to make something nice just to get wrecked by someone who’s just hunting people. but I guess that’s the point of the game? idk I’m very new to this.

[@Malonik]

@@aaronlam6929 You don't have to do farming to be successful whatsoever. That being said it has some great benefits like having heaps of food or heaps of cloth which you could use to trade. Ultimately success in rust is hard to define because there's so much to do. It really depends what your play style and goals are. For example sometimes I'll go hard and get end game guns and raiding gear and raid people. Some wipes I'll just be super chill and run a hotel. You can be a farmer, you can be an electrician, you can be a mechanic, hell after the next patch you can be a fucken taxi driver if you want to lol.

i has been trying to farm cloth but its dosnt seem worth i mean cost alot of time and effort , i had a seed that was YYYGGG and in 2 hours i only got 50 cloth

[@Malonik]

Wait 50 cloth from a single plant? Or 50 cloth total because even 1 full planter should be giving you more than that.

[@DrKaku01]

@@Malonik single plant then its around 450 every 2and half hour

[@Malonik]

@@DrKaku01 That's really not bad. Keep in mind that a normal ordinary hemp plant in the wild will take about 5 hours to grow and only give you 10 cloth. If you set up a few more planters you could pump out 1k cloth an hour or so. Then take your excess cloth to the bandit camp and trade it in for scrap. :)

[@Zebralolka]

Guys, someone knows how i can up plant's temperature in the night?

[@Malonik]

As far as I know there isn't a way currently... I've tried all the things you can light on fire and they don't work. Tried stacking heaps of lights and that didn't work. I'm guessing there's some extra component on the way like maybe a heat lamp we hang over them or something.

[@EludeStalwart]

@@Malonik I think there is an "Electric Heater" right? I wonder if that might work 🤔

[@Malonik]

@@EludeStalwart lol yeah there is, back when I replied to this there wasn't. Hilariously when they first added the electric heaters they didn't actually help the crops at all for the first patch or two lol.

Holding it in your hands and right clicking? Also if you're on a build server or admin server and you're spawning the water jugs in they can't be poured out until you fill them even though there's water in them when they spawn.

[@OldManPaxusYT]

GREAT SERIES! 👍 'd #OldManPaxus Rating: ★★★★ Curious what you think about this: Isn't it odd that FP pandered to kids who want everything immediately, totally happy to kill Tier 1 & 2 progression and wipe days (by addition of 4 elite crates at Mil Tuns, Cargo event, Oil rigs etc)...YET...They seem completely content to ignore that these same kind of kids have no interest in farming!?! 😵🤪 I know that the direction FP steers _what_ Rust _is_ has often been confusing and contrary to logic but this one seems especially weird.... I'd do a video about it, i just think it would fall on deaf ears...

[@Malonik]

Yeah I wish they didn't destroy the early game progress because honestly it's my favourite part. I was so excited when they announced the spin off rust that was going to be medieval purely because it'd almost be a constant early game state. Then they dragged it out back and put a bullet in it. :( I think facepunch realizes that the people that wanted the early game sped up aren't the people that are going to be pouring time into farming, hell they probably won't even set up a farm, so why pander to them? Lol Also some of their decisions may seem odd but if you look at the grand scheme of things and the old roadmap it really is the direction that they'd always intended to go with rust. People seem shocked that they added electricity and farming and such. Meanwhile I'm sitting here going... but this shit has been planned for years.... of course they're doing it... what? Lol

[@radiovoice6759]

Thank you= )

[@eraldndreca8208]

Was hard to find a gun now we will die from starvation...

[@Malonik]

Lol it's not hard to find a gun, you can grab revie and db from outpost which is enough to make a play for a better gun. Or hit up monuments. The food side of things won't be too bad either. This is mostly framework for their tier 2 recipes which will likely give you bonus effects so it won't mean you're starving you just won't get any bonus effects from food.

[@deprecated-d8v]

Wish they had dropped the skins before the update!

[@Malonik]

Me too!!! They are perfect for a farm!! Lol

[@leikegielen3090]

This needs a balance update. 9 water catchers cannot supply water for 1 sprinkler. Making a house with floor grills and windows gives 0 light. Yield is poor even under the best conditions. Farming needs to be a small percentage of your time in game otherwise no one will do it.

[@Malonik]

They actually just rebalanced things in the latest patch as well as adding the new farming components like the new pump that goes in your water source. Super handy. That being said I need to do an updated guide on farming as a whole as the best setup I know of currently is 1 sprinkler per 3 planters. Also I think time and effort wise it's okay where it's at. Maybe even a little more time consuming tbh. Like currently I've got a guy on my discord generating about 5k scrap an hour out of his cloth farm (via trades at bandit camp). He not only has all the BP's but he's got 30 turrets hooked up around his base and more than a few boxes of LR's and kits and shit. He did all of this solo on a vanilla server courtesy of the farming system lol.

[@ShiatsuPT]

meanwhile people getting ak's on the first hour of server wipe by doing large oil rig k

[@Malonik]

Different priorities.

[@tuckerctwitter]

Soon hungry zergs will raid roleplayers for food

[@Malonik]

Well if they're on the server I'm on then there will be plenty of food to go around... working on actually making the big farm from the end of the vid on a vanilla server lol.

[@tuckerctwitter]

Malonik awesome man, i do hope they make food more scarce and the spawn rate around rivers less, i mean it will have an impact on a zergs medical and food economy, and maybe give a fighting chance to smaller groups who knows. But yeah they can just raid for it haha

[@KaiZeeYT-os9jt]

MMMM yes more roleplayer items that i will be finding in loot crates instead of useful stuff

[@Malonik]

Depends, might not be so roleplayer if they rework the hunger and thirst mechanics with the second stage of farming. Then it'd be essential components to not starve lol.

[@alphamoonman]

@@Malonik After all, Rust is supposed to be a survival game just as much as a pvp game

[@Malonik]

@@alphamoonman Yep but when you compare the RUST survival aspects with say Day Z it's laughable at best. I'm so okay with more of a heavy focus on survival stuff.

[@alphamoonman]

@@Malonik Rust is a saturated survival game whom has taken a turn towards pvp and the vibrant grandeur of mechanics. It's only fair it got some focus to the survival aspect, but hopefully we'll soon enough get spoiling food and food recipes.

[@alphamoonman]

@@Malonik personally, in terms of food recipes, I hope we get food experimentation that requires water and food and a fire source like a campfire and/or a grill in order to come up with different recipes to eat and have different benefits.
