Pre-1.0 / classic crop raid values (community tables)
| Crop | Raid value | High-value? |
|---|---|---|
| Tomato / Carrot / Redbeet | 1 | No |
| Potato | 1.5 | No |
| Banana / Blueberry / Orange | 2 | No |
| Broccoli / Pineapple | 3 | Yes (≥3) |
Classic raids needed total value ≥10. Levels 7+ also required enough high-value crops. The on-site Raid Calculator uses the current 1.0 plant-value curve instead.
Double Clock, Double Watering Tax
Broccoli takes 42 real minutes unfertilized and demands a second watering unless fertilizer is used. Miss the second water and you have spent soil and raid budget on a stalled plant. Build the watering habit—or budget fertilizer—before the first seed.
Five Hundred Plant-Value Points
At calculator value 500, one Broccoli equals five Oranges or five hundred Tomatoes. A single decorative broccoli in the front yard can rewrite the night’s raid level. Treat each plant as a deliberate threat event.
- Run the Raid Calculator with the exact plant count.
- Do not “try one” beside an undefended starter shack.
- Keep spare seeds offline so a failed raid does not burn the only stock.
Fertilizer as a Safety Tool
Fertilizer cuts grow time to 21 minutes and removes the extra watering requirement. On broccoli, that is not a luxury speed-up—it is fewer hours of high plant value sitting in the open and fewer chances to miss a water tick.
- Confirm hose or irrigation coverage on the broccoli plot.
- Apply fertilizer when the unfertilized double-water loop is still unreliable.
- Harvest immediately and decide whether to replant or drop plant value.
Classic High-Value Flag Still Applies
Pre-1.0 tables already marked Broccoli as high-value (raid value 3). The 1.0 calculator amplifies that idea to 500. Old warnings about “high-value crops summoning worse nights” remain directionally true—only the numbers got louder.
Combat Lane Before Cosmetics
Broccoli rows need a kill lane, potato ammo, and a vehicle exit more than they need decorative lattice. If the defense rehearsal has not happened with orange-scale value, broccoli is premature.
Broccoli: Which Bot Actually Matters?
Broccoli Seedbot carries the matching seed type. Seedbots flee instead of attacking; damage can release matching seeds and destroying one releases an additional matching bundle. One possible default raid death reward: 10 Broccoli.
Cookbot does not grow or harvest Broccoli. Its current use for this crop is: Not used by the three current Cookbot recipes. Secure a seed reserve before moving the high-value harvest into trade storage.
- 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.
