How to Read the Colored Crop Growth Indicators

The Four Growth Stages

Crops Plus replaces guesswork with a traffic-light color system displayed in a small rectangle floating right above each plant. As your crops progress through their growth cycles, the indicator automatically changes color:

• Red: Indicates the earliest stage. This color appears as soon as you plant seeds in tilled dirt.
• Orange: Marks the halfway point of the plant's total growth cycle.
• Yellow: Signals that the crop is in its late growth stage and is almost ready to pick.
• Green: Confirms the crop is fully grown, fully matured, and ready to harvest.

Timing Your Harvest

To maximize crop yields and avoid wasting seeds, leave your crops alone while the rectangles are red, orange, or yellow. Only break the plant once the floating rectangle turns completely green. Harvesting at green guarantees you receive fully matured food ready to eat or replant.
