Production and claiming

Fertilizer is made by Fert Decks. A staked Deed with a Fert Deck makes Fertilizer around the clock, stores up to three days of it, and stops when the store is full. Claiming moves the whole Fertilizer from your decks into your Bag, the game’s inventory, where you keep it for your crops or export it to your wallet as an onchain item. This page is the arithmetic behind production (how much a deck makes, in what units, how fast it runs and how much it holds) and how claiming and the Bag work.

How much a deck makes

A Fert Deck makes F / 2 Fertilizer a day, where F is its Deed’s Fertility (5 to 9 by tier). Verified

A wallet’s output is simply the sum: three Commons and one Mythic are F = 5 + 5 + 5 + 9 = 24, so 12 Fertilizer a day at full speed.

The Fertilizer in a deck is kept by the game, off chain. Only the stake and the Fert Deck build are onchain; the deck’s count is kept by the game. Verified

The units underneath

The game counts production in small units, called U here. Verified

At full speed a deck gains F × 86,400 U a day, which is F × 86,400 / 172,800 = F / 2 Fertilizer. A Mythic (F 9) finishes one whole Fertilizer every 172,800 / 9 = 19,200 seconds, about 5 h 20 min; a Common (F 5) every 34,560 seconds, about 9 h 36 min.

The deck screen shows “Next Fertilizer” (the progress toward the next whole unit) and “Until the deck is full”, both “at the current rate”. The remainder below one U is carried forward, so nothing is lost by rounding while the deck runs. Verified

Deck speed

A deck does not always run at 100 %. Two brakes can slow it, and the deck takes the slower of the two: Verified

deck speed = min(network rate, exporter rate)     never below 50 %

• The exporter rate is your own: it falls when your wallet exported more than 25 % of its daily output in the last 24 hours. See Exporting and trading.
• The network rate is shared by every deck in the game: it falls when too much Fertilizer sits unused across the whole game. See The network brake.

Both are recalculated every hour (“Rates update every hour”). Verified At the floor a Mythic deck makes 2.25 a day instead of 4.5.

Example: a wallet with F = 24 whose exporter rate is 80 % while the network rate is 100 % runs at 80 %, so it makes 24 / 2 × 0.8 = 9.6 Fertilizer a day instead of 12.

Storage and the full deck

A deck holds 1.5 × F, which is exactly three days of production at full speed. The game’s copy says: “Holds 3 days of production. A full deck stops producing until you claim.” Verified

At a slower speed the deck takes longer to fill (at 50 % a full deck takes six days), but its cap does not change.

When the next whole Fertilizer would not fit under the cap, the deck shows “Storage fills before another whole Fertilizer”. Verified

How a claim works

Only whole Fertilizer is claimed. If your decks hold 4.7, you get 4 and the 0.7 keeps growing in the deck. With nothing whole yet, the game says “Your Fert Decks had no whole Fertilizer yet.” Verified

A repeated claim is recognised and not credited twice, so a retry after a lost connection is safe. Inferred

Claim often

Claiming often has three effects:

1. The deck never hits its cap, so it never pauses.
2. Fertilizer in the Bag is yours whatever happens to the Deed later.
3. Claimed Fertilizer counts toward the network’s circulation (see the network brake), and Fertilizer still in a deck does not. Inferred

When a claim is refused

All of these are the game’s own copy. Verified

What the Bag is

The Bag is “your in-game inventory” (docs glossary). Official source It holds seed packs, seeds, crops and Fertilizer. It is kept by the game, off chain: nothing in the Bag is an onchain token. Verified

In this build seeds, crops and packs stay in the game; only Fertilizer can be exported. It is exported to your wallet as an ERC-1155 item (see Exporting and trading). Verified

Items reserved by a pending export (or, later, a pending sale) are shown as “on hold” in the Bag until the operation finishes or times out. Verified

What Fertilizer in the Bag is for

Fertilizer is a farming input. Once farming opens, each Fertilizer used on a growing crop cuts 25 % of its total grow time, at most 2 per crop (see Growing and harvesting). Verified

Until then the game says “Saved for your farm. It keeps in your Bag until farming opens.” Fertilizer “never expires” (docs). Verified Official source

Fertilizer used on crops leaves circulation, which is what relieves the network brake once farming opens (see The network brake). Inferred

When a deck ends

Unstaking or burning a Deed destroys its Fert Deck. Its stored whole Fertilizer is credited to the builder (or stays claimable), but the fraction toward the next unit is lost. Verified

A deck belongs to whoever built it, not to whoever owns the Deed now. If a Deed leaves your wallet, its ended deck stays in your list (“You built this Fert Deck; the deed has left your wallet. What the deck stored stays yours to claim.”). Verified So the new owner of a Deed starts from an empty deck and pays a new 0.01 ETH build. Inferred

The build fee is 0.01 ETH per deck; it goes into the Deeds’ shared backing (the Root Cellar). Verified May change

Still REDACTED
