Crops left on farm plots in Summer or Dry Season can wilt from the heat, and are known as Wilted Crops.

In the Reign of Giants and Shipwrecked DLCs, Watermelons are added as a possible farming result. In all DLCs, Farms can catch on fire and burn down. To avoid waiting, 2 Manure, 8 Rot/ Rotten Eggs, or 2 Guano can be used to fully grow a crop planted in the Improved Farm. The Improved Farm yields 30 harvests before requiring fertilization. It can be prototyped at an Alchemy Engine and requires 10 Grass, 6 Manure, and 4 Rocks to build. The Improved Farm is an enhanced version of the Basic Farm. To avoid waiting, 4 Manure, 16 Rot/ Rotten Eggs, or 3 Guano can be used to fully grow a crop planted in the Basic Farm. Crops take 32 daylight minutes to finish growing. The Basic Farm yields 20 harvests before requiring fertilization. The Basic Farm can be prototyped at a Science Machine and requires 8 Grass, 4 Manure, and 4 Logs to build. Like any other structure, Farms can be destroyed using a Hammer or a Deconstruction Staff. If a crop has finished growing, it will not spoil in the Farm if not harvested. Crops only grow in the presence of light at nightfall, they stop growing until the following sunrise, unless they are near a light source. When the world temperature is over 28 degrees, the crops grow twice as fast. During Winter, the crops will not grow, however, during the first and last few days of Winter, the temperature is warm enough to allow fertilizing the crops to work, even though they won't grow on their own. This fertilization only affects the crops, and will not affect the fertilization status of the Farm itself. Growing crops can be fertilized to speed up their growth. Farms deplete after a number of harvests, and they need to be fertilized to grow more crops. The speed at which the crops grow depends on the world temperature, availability of light, and Rain. Specific crops can be grown by using Crop Seeds. Possible crops include Carrots, Corn, Eggplants, Pumpkins, Dragon Fruits, Durians and Pomegranates. Seeds planted in a Farm will grow a Fruit or Vegetable at random. A Farm or Farm Plot is a Structure used for Farming in Don't Starve.
