Routes and locations
Bananas are later fruit crops connected to fruit-seed exploration and the fruit Packing Station trade route.
Fruit seed progression
Search higher-value farming loot and progression areas for the initial seed supply.
Fruit Packing Station
Pack harvested Bananas for Farmer trading and delivery logistics.
- Reserve seeds before packing the crop.
- Use a cargo route tested without valuable crates.
- Keep fruit and vegetable station destinations distinct.

Fifteen Points Changes the Night
Each Banana scores 15 on the 1.0 calculator—fifteen Tomatoes of plant value in one soil tile. A casual double row can leap raid budgets. Open the Raid Calculator before the second watering can comes out.
From Carrot Crates to Banana Rows
Golden crates drop Banana Seeds around 2.8%, and the trader sells five Banana Seeds for three Carrot Crates. Build carrot surplus first; bananas are a purchased escalation, not a free early-field default.
- Finish the carrot trade before clearing soil for bananas.
- Keep Banana Seeds labeled—fruit seeds look interchangeable in a hurry.
- Plant only the seed count you can defend this week.
Fruit Batch Logistics
Bananas spoil a plan when harvested into mixed fruit crates. Run banana-only storage until the batch is eaten, delivered, or traded. Vacuum lines should not merge bananas with blueberries until sorting exists.
Paired With Chili at Value 15
Chili also sits at calculator value 15. Choosing banana versus chili is about food/trade goals and seed access, not about raid weight—the plant values match. Diversify for cooking, not for “safer” raid math.
- Check total plant value with bananas added.
- Confirm ammo and walls for the new tier.
- Harvest the batch promptly so soil returns to lower-value crops if needed.
Classic Guides Understate the Spike
Pre-1.0 fruit values of 2 made bananas feel mild. Under calculator weights they are a mid-tier spike. Ignore classic fruit rankings when sizing 1.0 fields.
Banana: Which Bot Actually Matters?
Banana Seedbot carries the matching seed type. Seedbots flee instead of attacking; damage can release matching seeds and destroying one releases an additional matching bundle. Possible produce from each accepted Lootbot hit.
Cookbot does not grow or harvest Banana. Its current use for this crop is: Not used by the three current Cookbot recipes. Route Bananas toward packing, trading, or direct food use.
- Use a Vacuum Pump creation for planting or harvesting; that is a player-built machine, not an autonomous farm bot.
- Check the Raid Calculator before scaling the field, because crop count and crop value change the attacking wave.
- Keep seeds, harvest produce, and Cookbot ingredients in separate labeled containers.
