Farming System
A downloadable asset pack for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
🌱 Farming System
Farming System is a complete, modular, and ready-to-use Unity package designed for survival games, life simulations, farming RPGs, crafting projects, sandbox builders, and open-world games.
The system provides a complete farming gameplay loop: plant seeds, grow crops over time, harvest produce, place new garden beds, manage inventory slots, and save or load progress with offline growth support.
Build a practical and expandable farming foundation without creating planting, crop growth, harvesting, inventory, bed placement, and persistence systems from scratch.

🔄 Complete Farming Gameplay Loop
Farming System is built around a practical gameplay loop that can be used immediately and expanded for larger games.
Basic Farming Flow
- Select seeds from the inventory
- Find a valid farm plot
- Plant the selected crop
- Wait while the crop grows over time
- Inspect crop progress and growth state
- Harvest the crop when it becomes mature
- Receive produce in the inventory
- Replant or continue with regrow crops
🧩 Data-Driven Crop System
Crops are configured through ScriptableObjects, making the farming content easy to expand, duplicate, and rebalance.
Developers can create new crop types without changing the main farming logic.
Each Crop Can Define
- Crop name
- Crop icon
- Seed inventory item
- Harvest inventory item
- Total grow time
- Visual growth stages
- Harvest reward amount
- Optional regrow behavior
- Regrow phase configuration
- Allowed plot rules
Create vegetables, fruits, flowers, herbs, survival crops, fantasy plants, or economy-focused farming content using the same modular foundation.
🪴 Planting & Plot Validation
Players can plant seeds only on valid farming areas. This prevents crops from being placed on incorrect terrain or incompatible plots.
Planting System Includes
- Seed selection from inventory slots
- Valid farm soil detection
- Crop compatibility validation
- Plot occupancy checking
- Plant interaction prompts
- Inspection feedback while crops are growing
- Harvest interaction when crops are ready
⏳ Time-Based Crop Growth
Crops progress automatically through multiple growth stages based on elapsed time.
Each stage can use a different visual object or prefab, making crop progression easy to understand directly in the game world.
Growth Features
- Automatic time-based progression
- Multiple visual growth stages
- Per-crop grow time configuration
- Persistent elapsed growth time
- Correct restoration after loading
- Offline timestamp-based progression
- Harvestable state detection
🥕 Harvesting System
Mature crops can be harvested through the interaction system and reward configurable inventory items.
Harvest Configuration
- Custom harvest item
- Configurable harvest amount
- Inventory reward integration
- Harvest interaction prompts
- Normal one-time harvest crops
- Optional regrow crops
♻️ Regrow Crops
Some crops can be configured to regrow after harvesting.
Instead of being fully removed, the crop can return to a selected growth stage and begin another growth cycle.
Useful For
- Berry bushes
- Fruit plants
- Fantasy crops
- Long-term farm progression
- Renewable survival resources
🧱 Placeable Garden Beds
Farming System includes runtime garden bed placement, allowing players to expand the usable farming area during gameplay.
This is especially useful for games with base building, player housing, homesteading, settlement progression, or land management.
Garden Bed Features
- Runtime bed placement
- Placeable bed kits
- Bed definition system
- Expandable farm layouts

- Item quantities
- Selected item tracking
- Visual UI feedback
- Seed item support
- Harvest item rewards
- Saved inventory contents
💾 Save, Load & Offline Progression
The included persistence system saves the important parts of the farming world and restores them correctly later.
Saved Data Includes
- Crop type
- Plot ID
- Growth progress
- Current growth phase
- Harvestable state
- Regrow state
- Inventory contents
- Selected inventory item
- Placed garden beds
- Timestamp information for offline growth
Crop progress can continue while the player is away, creating a persistent farming experience instead of temporary session-only growth.
