Start the Green Thumb objective
The reported Demo crops are apple, potato, tomato and watermelon. Check the plant’s growth and watering state when you return; do not plan your next meal around a timer from a different recording.
- Find and pick up a plant pot.
- Find a seed package and plant a seed in the pot.
- Water the planted pot.
- Check it as it grows, water again when needed, and harvest when ready.
Keep water for the crop without spending the travel reserve
Place the pot where you can reach it and keep a water container near your supplies. Before using your last water on a plant, check your thirst and radiator. You still need to reach the next stop.
The official June Demo notes say plant death mechanics were removed. That does not make watering unnecessary: the reported growth stages still use it. Do not infer a harvest timer or unlimited food from that patch note.

Collect useful seeds while travelling
| What to collect | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| A plant pot | Starts the planting objective and holds the crop. |
| A seed package | Provides the crop to plant. |
| A water container | Supports the growth stages. |
| Ready-to-eat food | Covers the period before the first harvest. |
After harvesting
Treat harvested produce like the rest of your food supplies: check freshness and store what you will not eat immediately. A fridge is useful for keeping food, while accessible rations cover an unexpected vehicle stop.
Official patch notes mention fixes for harvested fruit disappearing and pots getting stuck after loading. Those notes explain why older reports differ; they do not prove that every current save is free of farming bugs. If a pot behaves differently after a load, preserve the save and describe the actual state when reporting it.
