The Definitive Giant Crop Combination Guide - Don't Starve Together: Reap What You Sow

[@LakhnishMonster]

Addendum: 1) I missed the following 3 crop 1:1:1 Spring combo: "Dragonfruit + Durian/Garlic + Onion/Pomegranate". Sorry about that. 2) Beefalo Horn counts as a musical instrument; I forgot to add it. 3) 11:33 I made a typo but showed the right crop. The last crop in that combo is Garlic, not Onion.

[@Laireso]

I did some research. One of the best ways to grow crops which will imo become the meta is this: 1x Onion, 1x Garlic, 2x Potato (double all for full tile of crops) Normally you are making Potatoes to feed the baby Wolfgangs, but for restoring sanity you get Potato/Garlic combo which makes the Creamy Potato Purée. and the Garlic/Onion are the 2 crops which have longest lifespan (15 days), put them in ice box and it's 30 days, put them in salt box and it's 60 days. That's as good as it gets when it comes to DST vegetable.

Absolute best part of the video is that ending where all crops pop up in a few seconds. Satisfying AF. Good guide, and interesting combos... Did you do it by hand or used some algorithm?

[@LakhnishMonster]

I wrote a program that just brute forced the combinations for me. Others are able to do it by hand, but it becomes too much for me with all the seasons and whatnot, so I just made the program do the work for me. The output is located in the google docs in the description/pinned comment, which I shared a few days into the beta.

[@LakhnishMonster]

You are still able to grow Dragon Fruit outside of their preffered seasons, but it will take a little longer and you'll get 4 stress points as a result. If you make sure the stress doesn't to over 11 points, and you'll get the crop + a seed back.

I saw in the forum, jazzy says if I put 6 dragon fruit in a plot then I need 12 manure , but In earlier plots I can easily harvest 6 times before putting manure, so do these new farms takes more manure than earlier ?

Yea thank you for sharing all the combos and setups, it's greatly appreciated

[@shanelawrence7438]

I do have some knowledge I wish to contribute. The soil can hold 12.5 arrows worth of whatever nutrient. So you can grow 6 carrots or 3 onions worth in a single tile, if fully fertilized before planting. This is not very good, But if you do something like 4 dragonfruit 4 garlic, 1 onion. then 4 dragonfruit 1 garlic 4 onion. then 1 dragonfruit 4 garlic 4 onions. You can rotate through these specific crops. I base it on a 12 point system, dragonfruit is each worth 4 points, so that is 16 manure consumed. 4 garlic, another 16 compost consumed. This is more than 12, so both would need to be fertilized if it was not for the fact that they each provide for one another. Dropping it down to 8 points worth, while producing 16 growth formula nutrient. Which is bad, because the soil will be so concentrated that nutrients get lost. By planting a single onion, you drop that 16 points down to 12. then you also drop the 8 compost and 8 manure being consumed to 6 each, as the onions produce 2 of each. 6, is half of 12. So the soil will only be half depleted. So by growing dragonfruit, half the soil is depleted. Growing it a second time? entirely depleted- but on the third and final cycle where you grow just one dragonfruit with 4 garlic and 4 onions, the soil will be fully replenished in that one nutrient. By doing this you can grow giant crops of three different crops in a single tile space. And 8/9 of them will be giant. Now, if you do this in a 4x4 crop feild. where the center tile has 4 of the same crop together for the family bonus, each on a different tile and you build the rest around it. making sure to have a toltal of 16, four on each tile of the remaining two.. ALL will be giant. Allowing for a lot more variety in your crops.

[@shanelawrence7438]

Another example of this is, 4 dragonfruit 5 tomato. 4 dragonfruit 5 tomato, 1 dragonfruit 8 tomato. 4 dragonfruit is 16 manure consumed, 5 tomato produces 10 manure, dropped to 6. half the soils max cap, grow this twice, soil is entirely consumed of manure. Growing 8 tomato and 1 dragonfruit, 8 tomato is 16, too high, grow one dragonfruit to drop it to 12, which is again the soil capacity. Or, 5 dragonfruit 4 tomato, 5 dragonfruit is 20, minus 8 points produced by the tomatos. that is 12, the soil is entirely consumed. 8 tomato 1 dragonfruit to replenish. I think 4 dragonfruit 5 tomatos, times two, then the recovery cycle (8 tomato 1 dragonfruit just to fix the soil) is better than 5 dragonfruit 4 tomatos, then recovery cycle alternating. But thats the thing with my system, invent what works for you! create your own combos!

[@webbedbread9791]

Amazing guide as always! I've tested out all of these using to console to practice memorizing the tilting layout; I’ve got most of them but the very last one, the “Five Crop Combos 1:1:1:1:1 Ratio”; I just can not seem to be able to squeeze every tilt in as shown in the video here, I have tried using the video link provided and got it working, kinda, I managed to squeeze them all in except that instead of just the tomatoes not growing giant, all corner crops were not, such as two watermelons and two corn stalks on each side. Have I done something wrong? Or is it just my bad placement?

[@LakhnishMonster]

Sounds like it's working. The crops in the corners of five crop 1:1:1:1:1 ratios won't be giant but will still provide all the nutrients it needs, as stated in the section showcasing an the seed example of 1:1:1:1:1 ratio.

[@ividyon]

Hey, there's something I don't quite get in the examples. I'm using "auto tilling"/"geometric placement" mods which put 9 evenly spaced digs per turf. But your examples all seem to have 2x4 digs per turf, on 2 turfs, using the sides of each of the 2 turfs to create the combination. Is this necessary? Can I not use your combinations if I'm using those mods?

[@LakhnishMonster]

You need 4 of the same crops next to each other and you at best can only have 9-10 crops a tile, at least before the crops suffer an overcrowding stressor. If you are using a combo that requires 3 or more different crops, you needs more space. For example, for 3 crop combo of Garlic + Pepper + Onion, if I want all of them to be giant, that requires 12 crops total (4 of each crop so they are considered a family so they can be giant). But you can't have 12 crops in a single tile and be giant, so you're going to need at least two tiles. I used geometric placement when planting the crops for this video, so you can use mods no issue.

[@ividyon]

@@LakhnishMonster So if, say, I have one turf with an even 3x3 grid of vegetables, then for those 12-crop total combos it would work just as well to put another 1x3 line in a 2nd turf next to them? I don't need to do the specific, tight placement you did with 2 crops lines in the center of 2 turfs? (Which to me seems to say you're doing 4x4 grids rather than 3x3 per turf) I'm just worried that my mods are spacing them too far apart.
