Placement Strategy

The Seedbed for Plants is the single cheapest craft station in Windrose at one Wood. Its 1,000,000 Max Health makes it effectively indestructible, and its footprint is small enough to tuck into any corner of a camp. The primary use is farming climbing plants like vines and flax, but the Seedbed also runs a slow-rate Ash and Charcoal conversion that can be useful as a backup when the main Charcoal Kiln is queued up.

Tips

Build a row of Seedbeds for parallel crop production. One-Wood build cost means twenty seedbeds costs only twenty Wood.
Use the Seedbed's slow Charcoal line as a backup when the main Charcoal Kiln is full; two per minute is slow but stacks across many seedbeds.
Climbing plants require a Seedbed specifically; a regular farm plot will not grow them.

Seedbed Crops Database

The Seedbed hosts the 12 crop saplings listed below. Every listed sapling uses the same one-seed input, and every harvest refunds one seed plus the main material, so a single mature Seedbed slot self-sustains its own seed economy.

Sapling	Tier	Seed Input	Growth Time	Main Harvest	Main Yield
Aloe Sapling	T2	Aloe Seeds x1	1h 10m	Aloe Leaf	3 - 4
Banana Sapling	T1	Banana Seeds x1	1h 10m	Banana	3 - 5
Bean Sapling	T3	Bean Seeds x1	1h 10m	Beans	3 - 4
Bromeliad Sapling	T3	Bromeliad Seeds x1	1h 10m	Bromeliad	2 - 3
Cocoplum Seedling	T3	Cocoplum Seeds x1	1h 10m	Cocoplum	3 - 4
Corn Sapling	T2	Corn Seeds x1	1h 10m	Corn	3 - 5
Flax Sapling	T2	Flax Seeds x1	1h 10m	Flax Fiber	4 - 6
Healing Herb Sapling	T2	Healing Herb Seeds x1	55m	Healing Herbs	1 - 2
Leek Sapling	T3	Leek Seeds x1	1h 10m	Leek	3 - 4
Pepper Sapling	T1	Cayenne Pepper Seeds x1	1h 10m	Cayenne Pepper	3 - 4
Sweet Potato Sapling	T1	Sweet Potato Seeds x1	1h 10m	Sweet Potato	3 - 4
Tomato Sapling	T2	Tomato Seeds x1	1h 10m	Tomato	3 - 4

Every sapling above consumes exactly one seed of its own type to plant, and every harvest refunds a single seed at 100% chance. Growth time is uniform at 1 hour 10 minutes for eleven of the twelve Seedbed crops; the only exception is Healing Herbs, which matures faster at 55 minutes. Plant Seedbed layouts with the slowest-cycling crops on the outer edges so that fast-cycling Healing Herb slots can be harvested without stepping across fragile beds.

Farming Notes

The Seedbed is the only station that grows climbing crops. Flax Sapling is the priority planting for any textile base, since its Flax Fiber feeds the Spinning Wheel.
Higher main yields come from the T1 and T2 saplings (Banana and Corn cap at 3 to 5), while the T3 line such as Bromeliad tops out at 2 to 3 per cycle.
Healing Herbs are the fastest crop at 55 minutes, so a small dedicated row keeps a steady supply of healing items without tying up the longer 1 hour 10 minute beds.
