40d:Crop

Flowchart

Crops are plants that may be grown at farm plots. There are two types of crops: above ground and subterranean. The seeds of subterranean crops may be brought from the starting screen or purchased from the dwarf traders. Above ground crops and seeds may be purchased from human or elven traders or gathered by dwarves with the plant gathering labor enabled. Seeds may also be collected by processing the plants or eating them (but not by cooking!).

Some of the plants listed below are not strictly crops as such as they have no seeds and can't be planted. They are marked with a yellow "h" under Seasons.

Some plant may be eaten raw, others must be cooked first. All drinks may be cooked into meals. Plants, drinks and products have their values multiplied by how many items are created from a single plant.

All drinks require a barrel for storage, some other products also require containers.

The table rows are color-coded on the skill required for further processing, this skill is listed under the Thresher or Miller column depending on which can create the product.
