Yield potential is an indication of % match in the soil conditions for each specific plant. Planting crops in high yield potential areas will successfully produce and have higher total yield per plot. This will give you a good start until you are able to make the [[Soil Sampler]]. | ||
After planting new crops or changing the soil condition in any other manner, it will take a few minutes for the [[Soil Sampler]] to show the updated statistics. | After planting new crops or changing the soil condition in any other manner, it will take a few minutes for the [[Soil Sampler]] to show the updated statistics. | ||

Using the [[Soil Sampler|soil sampler]] to check nutrient levels on a plot of land does not show the levels for that single block. It will display the levels for a 5x5 plot of blocks, in which each block contributes 4% of it's actual value to the displayed values for the plot. | Using the [[Soil Sampler|soil sampler]] to check nutrient levels on a plot of land does not show the levels for that single block.

This also means that every plant inside this 5x5 plot counts into the checked farming area (including [[Grass]], bushes and [[trees]]) for the simulation, which can lead to overcrowding even though the player planted only a single seed. Plants have a lower tolerance for crowding the less optimal the soil conditions; this can result in crowded crops from fewer plants than on a 100% optimal plot of land. Overcrowding will hurt survivability; if you plant 5 crops and they are "very over-crowded", 2 or 3 may die before maturing to harvest. | This also means that every plant inside this 5x5 plot counts into the checked farming area (including [[Grass]], bushes and [[trees]]) for the simulation, which can lead to overcrowding even though the player planted only a single seed.

Changes in the environment take time to update. On standard settings, using [[fertilizers]] will not show different nutrient values when checked with the soil sampler for ~10 minutes. In certain cases if a plot has not updated in some time an update can be "forced" by a player altering an adjacent plot (e.g. by adding, subtracting, or building upon it, even if removed shortly after). Though devs have indicated asynchronous updates to plots will likely change in a future update. | Changes in the environment take time to update.
