Complete Farming Guide: Crops, Seeds & Profit

Farming is the source of everything in Pixels — ingredients, feed, and processing materials all start in the soil. This guide covers seed costs, drop rates, planting energy, and when to grow vs buy.

Farming's Central Role in the Pixels Economy

In Pixels, almost every production chain bottoms out at crops. Cooking ingredients, Animal Care feed, and processing materials all trace back to the farm. Master farming and you control the source supply of the entire economy — which is why efficient players treat their farm as core infrastructure.

Farming also enables self-sufficiency: growing your own materials insulates you from market price swings, making your crafting costs controllable and your profits stable — especially for high-demand crops that frequently sell out.

Seed Cost & Drop Rate: The Real Cost of Farming

A common beginner myth is that "crops grow from land, so they're free." In reality, each planting consumes a Seed, which costs PIXEL to buy — that's the true material cost. This site calculates a crop's material cost using its corresponding seed's market price.

Drop rate matters too: some crops don't yield 100% every planting, so expected output multiplies by the drop rate. Expected revenue = sell price × drop rate. Low-drop crops require more plantings to hit a target quantity — factor this into your planning.

Soil Types: Land, Water, Space

Pixels crops are grouped by growing site: regular soil (Land), Water, and Space soil. Each requires the matching environment and produces crops with different uses and market values. Confirm which site types your land or facilities support before deciding what to grow.

This site's Farming category labels each crop's Site. True land crops show a Site tag, while tool-crafted farming products show a crafting tool instead — their cost structures differ completely, so don't confuse them.

Planting Energy: The Hidden Cost

Planting consumes energy just like crafting. Each plant-and-harvest cycle costs planting energy, which adds up fast when grinding Farming XP. This site includes that energy cost — paired with the Energy Calculator, you can estimate how many bottles of wine it takes to fuel your way to a target XP.

Since XP is earned every harvest, planting energy for leveling isn't multiplied by drop rate (drop only affects yield quantity, not the number of harvest actions). Understanding this distinction is key to accurately estimating Farming leveling cost.

Grow vs Buy: Which is Cheaper

When a recipe needs a crop, you can buy it ready-made or grow it yourself. Self-growing saves the crop's market markup (you only pay for seeds) but costs planting energy; buying saves energy but costs more in materials. Which wins depends on the current crop-vs-seed price gap and whether your energy is plentiful.

The Skill Levels page has a "Self-grow crops" toggle: when enabled, the system recalculates material cost using seed prices and adds planting energy to total consumption, letting you compare "buy crops" vs "grow your own" net profit in one click.

Farming 種植完整指南：作物、種子與收益

種植是 Pixels 一切製作的源頭——食材、飼料、加工原料都從農田來。本文說明種子成本、掉落率、種植體力，以及自種與外購的取捨，幫你把農田經營成穩定的收入來源。

種植在 Pixels 經濟中的核心角色

在 Pixels Online 裡，幾乎所有製作鏈的最底層都是「作物」。烹飪的食材、動物照顧的飼料、各種加工製品的原料，追根究柢都來自農田種植。掌握種植，等於掌握了整個經濟體系的源頭供應，這也是為什麼許多高效玩家都會把農田經營當作基礎建設。

種植的另一個價值是「自給自足」：當你能自己種出原料，就不必受市場價格波動影響，製作成本更可控、利潤更穩定。尤其是需求量大、市場常缺貨的作物，自種往往比外購划算得多。

種子成本與掉落率：種植真正的成本

很多新手以為「作物是土地長出來的，所以免費」，這是個常見誤解。實際上每次種植都要消耗一顆種子（Seeds），種子需要花 PIXEL 購買，這才是作物的真正材料成本。本站在計算種植配方時，材料成本就是以對應的種子市場價計算。

另一個關鍵是「掉落率（drop rate）」：有些作物不是每次種植都能 100% 收成，期望產量要乘上掉落率。計算收益時，作物的期望收入 = 售價 × 掉落率。掉落率低的作物，要種更多次才能湊齊需求量，這點在規劃種植量時一定要納入考量。

土地類型：Land、Water、Space

Pixels 的作物依種植地分為不同類型：一般土壤（Land/soil）、水生（Water）、以及太空土壤（Space）。不同類型的作物需要對應的種植環境，產出的作物用途與市場價值也各異。在規劃要種什麼之前，先確認你的土地或設施支援哪種種植類型。

本站配方庫的 Farming 分類會標示每個作物的種植地（Site），讓你一眼分辨。真正的土地作物會顯示 Site 標籤，而用工具加工的 farming 製品則顯示製作工具，兩者的成本結構完全不同，別搞混了。

種植體力：別忽略的隱形成本

種植和製作一樣會消耗體力。每次種下並收成一輪作物，都會消耗一定的種植體力，這在你大量刷 Farming 技能 XP 時會快速累積。本站把這個體力成本納入計算，搭配體力恢復計算機，你可以算出刷到目標 XP 大概要消耗多少瓶酒來補體力。

由於 XP 是每次收成都拿，所以計算升級體力時，種植體力不需要乘掉落率（掉落只影響「收成數量」，不影響「收成動作次數」）。理解這個差異，才能準確估算 Farming 升級的真實成本。

自己種 vs 直接買：怎麼選最划算

當你要製作一個用到作物的料理時，有兩個選擇：直接在市場買現成作物，或自己種植。自種省下作物的市場差價（只付種子錢），但要額外花種植體力；外購則省體力、但材料成本較高。哪個划算取決於當下作物與種子的市場價差，以及你的體力是否充裕。

本站技能等級頁有「自行種植作物」勾選功能：勾選後，系統會把底層作物的材料成本改用種子價計算，並把種植體力加進總體力消耗，讓你一鍵比較「買作物」和「自己種」兩種策略下的真實淨利，做出最划算的決定。

用本站工具規劃你的種植

規劃種植的流程：進入配方庫的 Farming 分類，瀏覽各作物的等級、種植時間、種子成本與市場售價，把要刷的作物按愛心收藏；再到技能等級頁點 Farming，輸入剩餘 XP，系統會算出每個作物要種幾次才能升級。

市場價格每 5 分鐘更新，搭配掉落率與種子成本的計算，你能隨時掌握「現在種哪個作物最划算」。把農田當成一條需要規劃的生產線經營，而不是隨手種種，才能讓 Farming 真正成為穩定的收益基礎。
