Farming in DayZ

Farming gives you a renewable food source without needing to leave your base.

Getting Seeds

Cut vegetables or fruits with a knife:

• Tomato → Tomato Seeds
• Pepper → Pepper Seeds
• Zucchini → Zucchini Seeds
• Pumpkin → Pumpkin Seeds

💡 Always save seeds — they keep your food supply going.

Planting Process

1. Find or create a Garden Plot (use shovel on dirt)
2. Plant your seeds
3. Water the plot regularly
4. Wait for growth (real-time)
5. Harvest when ready

Garden Plot Locations

• Greenhouses → Pre-made garden plots
• Use a shovel to create plots almost anywhere on dirt

Watering

• Use a Water Bottle, Canteen, or Cooking Pot
• Plants need consistent watering to grow
• Check plot status often

⚠️ No water = no crops.

Growth Stages

1. Seedling → Just planted
2. Growing → Needs water
3. Mature → Ready to harvest
4. Overripe → Still usable but degrading

Crop Values

• Pumpkin → Best food value (slow growth)
• Zucchini → Balanced time and value
• Tomato → Fast growth, adds hydration
• Pepper → Smallest yield
