Finding Potato Seeds[ | ]
Potato seeds, unlike most other seeds in Atomicrops, are not native to any Biome, and are usually found on the Farm. At the start of each run, the player will receive 4 Potato seeds by interacting with the Farm basket. They can also be found by cutting Weeds on the Farm, and are sometimes dropped by defeated Enemies. If the Sprinkler Tractor is used on Potato plants, they will drop more Potato seeds.
Potato seeds are a common reward for playing at the Casino during Seasonal Festivals.
If the player selects the Terrarium upgrade in the Garden Bed line of upgrades for all four biomes, any biome seeds owned by the player will be converted to a mix of pumpkin seeds and potato seeds. With a large stockpile of seeds, this can be a reliable method of obtaining the 144 potato seeds required completing the Extra Fries achievement.
Fertilization and Megacrop Variant[ | ]
Potatoes need 3 Fertilizer to be fully fertilized. Creating a Megacrop (from 4 Potato plants in a 2x2 formation) therefore requires 12. A mega Potato requires a further 6 to become fully fertilized itself.
Watering[ | ]
Small Potatoes need 2 units of water and a freshly merged Mega Potato needs 3 units of water to fully grow.
