# Growstation Setup

Growstations are the foundation of custom farming; custom seeds cannot be grown on standard farmland.

* **Craft:** Build a Growstation at a standard crafting table using the recipe from the Recipes menu.
* **Place:** Set the station down within your claim (base limit is 10 stations).
* **Water:** Right-click the placed Growstation with a water bucket to fill its water reservoir.
* **Plant:** Open the station UI and place your seed onto the iron bars slot.
* **Monitor:** Ensure environmental conditions (temperature, biome, water) are met. Any unmet condition will show up in red text on the iron bars.
