Peat

Peat is compost. With Fertilizers I (10 green) you build a Compost Pile, and it turns 8 Leaves into 2 Peat; every crop harvest drops 2 Leaves, so each Peat costs two harvests’ worth. No trader in the demo sells it.

It has three uses in the demo:

  • As fertilizer. Fertilizers I also gives every Garden Bed a fertilizer slot. One Peat put in it before the bed starts growing adds 1 to that bed’s growing skill, which makes more of its growing steps succeed (see Carrot).
  • For Garden Upgrade I, which takes 10 and raises the growing skill of the whole garden from 2 to 4.
  • For the Orchard, which takes 10 but stays empty in the demo, because nothing can be planted in it.

Notes

  • The upgrade is the bigger gain. Garden Upgrade I adds 2 to the growing skill of every bed permanently; a Peat in a slot adds 1 to one bed. The upgrade’s 10 Peat are 40 Leaves, or 20 harvests.
  • It is an alchemy ingredient with one green and one blue rune, so one Peat alone makes Dream Dust.
  • Studying it costs 2 Science and 1 Faith and gives 5 green.
