Usage

Farming

Main article: Farming

A single full bag contains four uses which are used with planted crops to increase the speed of growth for that particular plant, it will remove 20 hours from the current growth cycle of the plant. If there are less than 20 hours remaining on that growth cycle, it will immediately proceed to the next level and the extra hours will be lost. Fertilizing a plant 5 times in total will kill it instantly.

Distribution

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

Fertilizer distribution Show / Hide

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.
