How the Minigame Works
Cooperative hourly planting minigame: shared plots, crop targets on UI, seed dispensers and side machines to swap crop types, plant-and-water loop with a nearby water source. Multiple players on the same server participate together.
- UI lists cooperative crop targets for the round
- Seed dispensers and side machines to select crop type
- Plant and water on shared plots
- Multiplayer on the same server
Beta Session — Crop Targets (Not Codex)
One stream session only (Serrohverse — one observed Community Farm round (April 2026)). Codex has no hourly rotation table:
| Crop | Qty | Codex crop |
|---|---|---|
| Red peppers | 8 | chili-pepper — Stream label — loftiacodex crop is Chili Pepper |
| Carrots | 11 | carrot |
| Eggplants | beta est.* | eggplant — Required in beta UI; exact count not stated in coverage |
| Rice | beta est.* | rice — Required in beta UI; exact count not stated in coverage |
Beta Session Rewards (Stream Only)

|---|---|---|
| Seeds | Unspecified seed types | single-beta-session |
| Meadow Bow (Piece) | Item fragment — loftiacodex lists Meadow Bow (Piece) under Item Fragments | single-beta-session |

- Food for All —
Not the Same As…
- Community Projects — Blooms, shared builds
- Neighborhood farms — personal island beds
- Community Farms Research Station — permanent donation bundles, not hourly event targets
What Is Still Unknown at EA
- Full hourly crop rotation table (codex does not list one)
- Exact in-round rewards beyond Food for All quest seeds
- Official Qloud Games timezone / server sync for hourly events
- Sols as round reward (single stream mention — unverified)
Community Farm Tips
- Food for All (Herb): signups are 5 minutes before the hour — codex quest text matches beta stream alerts.
- Complete A Call From the Gardens (Cliff → Herb → Arlo snacks step) before Food for All appears in quest log.
- Community Farms Research Station unlocks Trowel, watering cans, trellises, Beehive, and Drip Irrigator — separate from hourly event rewards.
- Official BackerKit titles Herb as Community Farm Manager; codex uses Arlo for in-game signup and quest turn-in.
- Do not confuse with Community Projects (Blooms) — see /community-projects-guide.
- Beta UI targets (8 red peppers, 11 carrots) likely rotate — only one session documented on stream.
