How to Check and Harvest Large Fields from a Distance

Scouting from an Overlook

On expansive farms, walking row by row to check every individual plant takes significant time. Because the colored rectangles hover directly above your crops, you can inspect your entire field from a distance:

1. Stand at the edge of your field or build a slightly elevated viewpoint nearby.

2. Scan across the tops of your crops looking specifically for green rectangles.

3. Ignore sections displaying red, orange, or yellow indicators, as these plants still need time to finish growing.

Optimizing Your Harvest Route

Instead of sweeping through entire plots indiscriminately, plan a path that targets only the green indicators. Walk directly to the fully matured crops, harvest them, and immediately replant seeds in the open dirt. The new seeds will reset to red indicators, letting you keep track of unevenly growing fields at a single glance without having to examine individual crop heights.
