About Planting
Pals ranked by their Planting work suitability level (1–8). Higher levels finish tasks faster and unlock advanced station tiers.
Planting (game key: seeding) is what gets seeds into the soil at every plantation — the partner skill to Watering. A Pal with Planting walks up to a plantation that's missing seeds, drops them, and steps aside for the Watering Pal to do its job. You'll need at least one Planting Pal per base running farms; a Lv 2+ Planting Pal handles most mid-game plantations.
