Tomato

Overview

Tomato is a Foothills crop and one of the eight Seedbed crops in Windrose. It is first harvested from wild plants in the Foothills, and Tomato Seeds drop alongside the raw material. Once a Seedbed is built at base (requires Fertile Soil from Foothills Ancient Farms), Tomato becomes self-sustaining on roughly a 70-minute real-time cycle.

How to Get

• Harvest wild tomato plants in the Foothills biome, reached by sailing southeast from the starting waters. Tomato Seeds drop alongside the fruit.

• Mine Fertile Soil from the raised dirt mounds around the Foothills Ancient Farms with a pickaxe. Each Seedbed costs 5 Fertile Soil, so gather as much as you can carry.

• Build a Seedbed for Plants at base and sow Tomato Seeds for a self-sustaining supply.

Used In

Farming

Tomato Sapling is the plantable form of Tomato. It can only be sown in a Seedbed for Plants, which itself requires Fertile Soil to craft. After planting a single seed the crop matures in 1h 10m of real-time growth, then yields the outputs listed in the harvest table below. Replanting is self-sustaining: every harvest refunds at least one seed.

Planting

Planting requirements for the Seedbed slot. Growth time is fixed regardless of player skill level or in-game season.

Harvest

Quantities below are the per-harvest ranges at 100% chance. The seed drop refunds the planting cost, so a single sapling produces a net gain on every cycle.

Where Tomato Fits Among Seedbed Crops

Tomato is one of the crops that can be grown in a Seedbed, alongside Aloe Leaf, Banana, Beans, Corn, Leek, and Cocoplum. Every harvest returns at least one seed, so a single wild seed is enough to keep permanent production running. Because tomato feeds two Epic dishes, it is one of the higher-value crops to keep planted year round.
