Tobacconist Mod – Tobacco Growing Guide

This guide explains how to grow tobacco plants and harvest high-quality leaves.

Growing quality determines the base quality of the tobacco before curing, fermentation, or aging.


Understanding Growth Quality

Tobacco quality ranges from 0–100 internally and is grouped into tiers for display.

Tier Internal Quality
Poor 0–24
Common 25–49
Good 50–69
Fine 70–89
Premium 90–97
Perfect 98–100

Most harvested tobacco falls between 55–85 quality depending on growing conditions.

Perfect tobacco is rare and requires excellent conditions.


What Affects Growth Quality

Biome

Each tobacco variety grows best in certain climates.
Planting in the correct biome improves growth quality.

Temperature

Some tobacco prefers hot climates, while others prefer moderate or shaded environments.

Light

Most tobacco prefers full sunlight, though some varieties grow better in partial shade.

Farming Conditions

  • Tobacco must be planted on Farmland
  • Consistent growing conditions produce better results
  • Avoid planting varieties in the wrong climate

  • Maintain stable lighting conditions
  • Avoid extreme climates unless the variety prefers them
  • High-quality growth produces better tobacco for later processing
