Crops and Seeds
Solarpunk crops and seeds reference for raspberries, wheat, corn, cotton, carrot, paprika, tomato, sunflower, watermelon, mushrooms, algae, and truffles.
The practical crop rule is simple: start with raspberries, use hoeing to expand seed access, and automate watering only after plots are large enough to slow you down.

| Raspberry | Best early food and thirst helper; tips explicitly say growing raspberries early is essential. |
| Wheat | Crop with seed and food chain support, including bread and dough. |
| Corn | Crop with a matching seed item. |
| Cotton | Crop with seed and cloth crafting support. |
| Carrot | Crop with a matching seed item. |
| Paprika | Crop with a matching seed item. |
| Tomato | Crop with a matching seed item. |
| Sunflower | Crop with a matching seed item. |
| Watermelon | Crop that also feeds into watermelon juice. |
| Mushroom | Crop with a matching seed item. |
| Special Flower | Special flower seed entry for plant collection and decoration planning. |
| Birch Sapling | Sapling ingredient used in the forester recipe path. |

How To Use This Reference
Use this list to decide what to plant next. Raspberries solve early food and thirst pressure, while grain and vegetables support cooked meals later. Keep seed expansion tied to actual demand: more crop types are useful when cooking, animal feed, or exploration food needs them. Hoeing fields can reveal random seeds and saplings, so the farm doubles as a discovery path.
