Every part of the plant chart should be analyse to the max. So with multiple research and a lot of time, that is a natural process in the game, that's when you can make the best decision, so this is a fast forward in the game experiences.

This guide is for those that have passed through it all and just want to help with optimization before unlocking everything.

I might not have all the answer, but I'll try to update and adjust the guide to optimum.
Thank for eventual comment that will help in that regard.

You have multiple level of research and building to unlock to gain the best outcome and optimization of ressources.
The first goal in the game is to have a good balance, but mostly CULTURE 160 to unlock agriculture

It's a lot... I have almost finish my research tree and exploration before getting there... so mayby some better balance early game can improve that or I just miss the track on that one.

Ripping out (available at all time in the tool bar)





Picking (all tree building)

Picker cabin













Trimming & Seed scatering

Arborist workshop













Pruning & Notching

Agricultural farm













Reaping & Uprooting












Ground fertilizer & Mineral Enhancer & Water pump

















Plant nursery

• Organic
  
• Mineral
  
• Moisture
  
• Temperature

All plant have at least one requirement and maximum two need. So the other two are irrelevant and will not affect the plant.

So the outcome include symbiosis and alternative form that enhance the plant propreties.





Building :
Mineral enhancer (decrease mode)
Ground fertilizer
Water pump (only half a field)

Plant :
Cabbage shrub
Scaled corn
Beaky bell (in the half with increase water)
Whipping gourd (in the half with increase water)

Result

• Seed
  
• Cereal
  
• Vegetable
  
  
• Liana
  
• Rotten ressource (needed for composting)
  
• Torn
  
• Water

Extraction Building :
Seed scattering
Uprooting
Reaping
Trimming
Picking




Building :
Mineral enhancer (decrease mode)

Plant :
Blue hydra tree
Orange hydra tree

Result

• Seed
  
• Carbon bulbs
  
• Watery pods
  
• Tree trunk
  
• Torn
  
• Resin

Extraction Building :

Arborist workshop
Notching
Pruning
Ripping
Seed scatering (only with the blue hydra, the orange cause damage to the villager).

The kitchen is the only building preparing meal, so you have to be sure that it's always ALWAYS running.

Other than a constant reserve of water nearby, here are the recipe available:

[6] Watery pod[6] Vegetable[4] Water

14 ressources = 10 meal (poor deal...)

[10] Seed[4] Water

14 ressources = 10 meal (poor deal...)

[10] Mushroom[4] Water

14 ressources = 10 meal (poor deal...)

[4] Ashy kernel[12] Water

16 ressources = 10 meal (great deal, since mostly water)

[8] Carbon bulb[1] Resin

9 ressources = 10 meal (ok deal...)

[10] Cereal[10] Water

20 ressources = 20 meal (great deal)
