Pollution

An unknown number of factors can cause seeds to fail to grow. The original seed is returned.

Anecdotes:

  • Onions appear to pollute/deplete the land in an area about 25 coordinates around them. Cabbage will not grow in this area, but carrots and leeks will; unable to test other vegetable seeds. Flax grows. Growing leeks in the area did not appear to reverse the effect, though I only did a short round of leek growing. -Densor
  • After leaving the land (hopefully) untouched for 24 (real-time) hours, I was able to harvest 140 onions (Amun's Bounty) before they stopped growing again. Cabbage was unable to grow when I tested, though I had already harvested 5 onions prior to testing cabbage. -Densor
