Palia wouldn’t be much of a cozy crafting and gathering RPG without the ability to set up your own garden and farm your own crops, as well as gomushroom pickingand fishing. While you may find deeper farming systems in some other games, I’ve found the way you’re able to grow crops in Palia both satisfying and simple, but with enough subtle ways to perfect it that it rewards good play. Early crops are fuss-free, but as you go through the levels, you’ll need to think harder about where to grow. Read on for my best crop layout suggestions for farming and gardening in Palia.
Best farm layouts for crops in Palia
While crops won’t die in Palia, they can stop growing without due care and attention. The reason crop layout is important is thatcertain crops give buffs to the farming spaces around them. The layout above has worked well for me,spreading out bonuses to decrease labor and increase yields. Note that I haven’t included Apples and Blueberries, as these only come into the picture once you reach level 10 in Gardening, by which time I expect you’ll have your own preferred setup.

This can mean that you need to do less watering, get more star-quality crops, or avoid weeds growing in certain spaces. Less watering means less maintenance, while weeds stop growth (in the same way not watering does) until you clear them. So,the best crop layouts in Palia see you take advantage of as many crop buffs as you can, depending on what you’re planting.
It’s important to note thatcrop bonuses only apply to spaces orthogonal to the crop giving the bonus(so up, down, left, and right of it). Crops in diagonally adjacent spaces will not get the benefit. Also,bonuses from a crop will not stack with other identical bonuses.
The best farm layout will depend on which bonuses you want to take advantage of—there is no right answer. Just realize that it is possible to give non-edge crop spaces four different buffs at once by surrounding them with different crops.
