CompostBag

A compost bag is a drainable item that can be used to fertilize player grown crops. A compost bag can be used 4 times before it is drained. Once the compost bag is drained, an empty Sack is left. The sack can be used to create another Compost Bag from a composter as long as the Composter is at least 10% full.

Usage

The player can use a compost bag to fertilize crops to increase the rate at which crops grow. The player can fertilize a crop multiple times, but if fertilized too many times, the plant may rot.

It is possible to use the empty sack as a container afterward.

Distribution

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

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.
