# PyroFarming

PyroFarming adds custom plants and passive income to the server through two main systems: Growstations and Bushes. Open the menu with /farm menu to get started.

## **Commands**

| Command        | Description                               |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `/farm menu`   | Opens the main PyroFarming menu           |
| `/farm shop`   | Sell your harvested plants and bush drops |
| `/farm market` | Buy seeds and bushes                      |
| `/farm codex`  | Browse all available plants and bushes    |

## **Growstations**

Growstations are crafted planters used to grow custom plants. The recipe for a growstations is 8 wheat seeds surrounding a flower pot.

* You start with up to **10 growstations**
* Each growstation grows one plant at a time
* Growstations need to be **filled with water** or the plant won't grow
* Right-click a growstation to check its status, you can see the plant, grow time remaining, and water level
* Some plants yield multiple harvests before needing to be replanted
* Plants have environment and temperature requirements, check the codex before planting so you don't waste seeds

Once grown, harvest and sell at `/farm shop`.

## **Bushes**

Bushes are the passive side of PyroFarming. Place them down and they slowly grow items on their own over time, displayed as player heads above the bush. Break the heads to collect and sell them at `/farm shop`.

* You start with up to **10 bushes**
* Bushes only grow when you're online
* Buy bushes from `/farm market`
* Bushes cost a lot upfront but pay off over time since they need almost no maintenance

## **Upgrading Growstations**

Growstations themselves can also be levelled up individually, separate from the skill tree. Right-click a growstation and look for the upgrade option in its menu.

Upgrades are unique to each growstation, the upgrades being: more water per bucket, more elysium when harvesting a plant, bonus growth speed and a chance to get mutations.

## **Skill Tree**

PyroFarming has a skill tree you can upgrade to improve your farming over time. You can view the recipe in `/farm codex`

Upgrades are purchased using **Elysium**, PyroFarming's custom currency. You earn Elysium by harvesting plants. Check your current Elysium balance from the `/farm menu` by hovering over your player head.

## **Tips**

* Set up your bushes as early as possible since they earn passively regardless of whether you're online.
* Check the temperature and environment requirements in `/farm codex` before buying seeds, some plants won't grow in the wrong conditions.
* Growstations don't need their chunk loaded to grow, so you can build your farm anywhere.
* Upgrade how much water you get per bucket to make it easier to refill
