Grow time[edit]

And how much is 500? Is it 500 frames or 500 years? Why is this info here? Without explanation it's totally useless!--Dorten 06:21, 5 February 2008 (EST)

Every season is ~1000 grow units. Someone needs to put this somewhere on the wiki. It's like 1012 or 1008 or 1024 or something. --Penguinofhonor 18:43, 13 February 2008 (EST)
Every season is 1008 time units, each time unit is 10 steps. Need to add this info somewhere--Dorten 02:26, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

Koltom, listing a grow time in units of unknown value does have some usefulness. For example, it lets them compare that grow time to the grow time of other plants. This is highly useful - even if we don't know how long it takes, we do know that you can get plump helmets in 40% less time. I'm very glad it was at the old wiki for that reason. It tells a player who would not know otherwise that it has a known grow time. They might then do experiments to determine exactly how long a grow unit is.
Or, maybe, Koltom, you could've read the talk page of this page that you have been so annoyingly reverting. These are, after all, where much new knowledge goes. --Savok 18:55, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

If you like rumors and claims go to the forum! Most plants dont even have a growtime tag and the info that plump helmets and pig tails are faster growing is already added (and not by you). Dorten has put it nicely. Start being helpful! --Koltom 21:42, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
You can start being helpful by not removing true information. --GreyMario 22:36, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
And on a side note, the only plants missing [GROWDUR] tags are outdoor plants. --GreyMario 22:38, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
This explains it best: "22:54, 13 February 2008 Eagle of Fire (Talk | contribs) m (497 bytes) (500 ticks. If you don't like how the info is displayed, expand on it. Don't just remove it.)"VengefulDonut 15:21, 6 April 2008 (EDT)
Barring a suitable replacement, I insist the information stays. VengefulDonut 16:25, 6 April 2008 (EDT)
