Under Canopies: seeds need a Farming Bed, not wild soil

Steam PC (Windows) · Early Access v0.6.24 seed tooltip · Checked 2026-11-02

The short answer

Use a Farming Bed rather than wild soil. The visible v0.6.24 Carrot Seeds tooltip explicitly makes that distinction.

If the missing piece is a Farming Bed blueprint, the same tooltip directs players to explore watchtowers. It does not identify every tower or give a current exact blueprint route.

Before you start

  • Have seeds and be checking why bare-ground planting is not available.
  • This answers the required planting surface. It does not provide an unverified bed recipe, placement key or complete grow-to-harvest procedure.

Check the planting surface first

In the sampled inventory frame, the selected item is CARROT SEEDS. Its description says to plant seeds in a Farming Bed, not wild soil. If you are trying to use the seeds on ordinary ground, change the planting target rather than keep trying alternative controls.

A stack of Soil in inventory is also a different thing from having the required Farming Bed. The tooltip describes the object you plant in; it does not say loose carried Soil turns any ground into that object.

If you do not yet have a Farming Bed

The tooltip points to watchtowers for a Farming Bed blueprint. Treat that as the game’s discovery hint, not a promise that every watchtower contains the same plan.

A dated corn-planting thread has an original-poster success after finding a blueprint, but it does not provide a complete current recipe and planting-control sequence. This page keeps that separate from the directly visible seed requirement.

If it does not work

The seed does nothing on ordinary ground
Check the Farming Bed requirement on the seed tooltip. Wild soil is not the documented planting surface.
You have seeds but no Farming Bed blueprint
Use the watchtower discovery hint. This page does not supply an exact current blueprint route.
You have a bed but planting still fails
Read its current interaction and the seed’s requirement. The sampled tooltip alone does not establish a universal planting fix or key.

How to know you are done

  • You have identified the required Farming Bed instead of trying to plant on wild soil. Successful planting and harvest are later tasks, not claimed outcomes of this prerequisite check.
