FAQ
What tool do I need to harvest potatoes?
None. The crop breaks instantly by hand or any tool; a hoe is not required to harvest, only to till the farmland.
How many potatoes do I get per harvest?
A fully grown crop drops 1 to 4 potatoes, with Fortune increasing the average yield.
Can I get a poisonous potato from farming?
Yes, there is roughly a 2% chance of an extra poisonous potato dropping alongside the regular harvest.
Do potatoes need a hoe to plant?
A hoe is used to till dirt into farmland first; the potato itself is then simply placed on the farmland to start growing.
