Thanks for checking this out! A thousand Teas to you and yours. ☕

One thing I always try to remember when gathering clones for a god-clone, is I always remove all fertilizer from the planter! Each seed planted immediately consumes one fertilizer, so I don't want that wasted on a bad gene seed.

As a newbie tea grower I have watched several videos on tea growing, they were all as clear as mud on the process and assumed rather a large amount of knowledge beforehand. This video was the parting of the clouds, the unveiling of the tea conundrum, I can see clearly now and my tea-growing path is now clear. Thank you so much for this upload, a very entertaining and informative video indeed.

Found you yesterday looking for a tea tutorial and watched your beginners guide. I already knew everything in it but it was such a good video I watched the entire thing, and then went to your channel to look for an advanced guide which wasn't there yet. Then I see this uploaded today like it was meant to be. You are now my father, Tom.

Love the vibe, very educational and amazing quality. Hands down the best farming guide🙌 Thank you for this legendary video TeaMasterTom! ☕🧑‍🌾💚

[Slethion]

I absolutely needed this.
I had no clue what the letters meant and I tried making teas so many times and failed (either took too long or poor yield/build).
I've always resorted to simply picking the berries from forests.
Thanks for the help!

Love your chill vibe. When folks on my server want to learn how I do my teas, I always send them to your videos, that way they can pause, go back n such. This way I dont have to do base tours & try to explain things 1000 times please Please keep doing your thing, it makes a big difference esp for us non pvp types

[jasonrobbins]

Man i had me a farm and i was straight up vibing. Had teas all around i was just handing them out. Honestly it felt great running a tea farm. My teammate appreciated it as well. Was real enjoyable thanks Teaguytom!

Paddles are a tea farmer’s best friend. They’re the only tools I know of that you can hold and still see the plants’ genetics. That makes paddles useful for culling plants based on genetics.

Super soakers can be pay to win for farmers because they allow you to precisely control planter saturation without affecting planter boxes that might be above the one you’re adjusting. Read below for more about multi story farms.

My usual farm is a two story two by two. This saves electricity because I can place heaters near the top of the first floor and they will heat the second floor through the floor at night.

The caveat with growing on two floors is that if you have to dump water onto the first floor, it will splash evenly onto the second floor as well. I mitigate this issue by keeping water balanced between all boxes. But if I need to break the balance (for instance in the initial cloning phase when I don’t have enough clones for both floors) I will make sure the upper floor is dryer, as I can dump water onto the upper floor without affecting the one under it.

Tom you are going to single handedly change the farming scene in RUST #teaislife

I know this is not an electrical tutorial, but the max output on the batteries does work. Alot of people just forget that electrical branches, switches, splitters, and i think a few other things take 1 power passivley while active.

So if you have a medium battery with a max of 50, and then you pass it into 3 electrical branches chained together. You're actually only gonna get a max of 47 out of the battery.

A trick you can do if you really need that extra output power.

Run the last root combiner into a splitters. Add some more batteries near your medium/large battery, and run the power from your turbine/solar pannels into all the batteries at the same time. Then run the batteries outputs into root combiners and connect it to 1 switch. Then you have a switch with an output of all the batteries combined, -1 for the switch when powered on.

the one and only tea video one will ever have to watch to learn about teas. "How do you expect to fight with the wolves, if you spend all day sparring with the puppies" I'm proud of you Tom! ☕

[thatdamnlamb]

Chill, educational, and super clean editing. Great job, Tom! Def going to share this around.

[jayrusso]

so glad I found ur channel!! u explain the genetincs in a way that makes perfect sense to me, and im sure many others!! Plus the vibe is cool!!!

[mazobojo]

This is so awesome, I’m a huge fan of deep dives into niche game mechanics. The music, visuals and clean editing make this a perfect watch.

(I don’t even play rust, but now im tempted to boot it up and farm)

[timrudd]

The legend returns with more tea related wisdom! This is a great guide, thanks man.

[LDGRedBeard]

Your content came out of nowhere, and is absolutely amazing. I've spent this wipe being a tea man, and it absolutely has to be the chillest experience Ive had in my 2200 hours. Keep it up man!

You didn't get into heaters in this video but from all the farming i've done the only reliable layout for heaters is to put low walls for every pair of planters and 1 heater can 100% the temperature for only 2 planters (at all times, you can get further planters to 100% if it's warm outside but will drop when it's cold). The heaters do project heat a little bit but not enough to get the further planters at 100% at all times (particularly in snow or desert at night). The layout i scale is 2x3 where I have 2 sprinklers right in the middle across all 6 planters and then lights for every 4 planters (if only doing a single module there is overlap but you can scale that up to reduce overlaps) and 3 heaters where i have 1 heater for every pair of planters. This layout serves me well and when converting into pure teas leaves little leftovers.

Great video. Most tutorial videos just tell you what to do, but by you explaining why as well as how makes your videos head and shoulders above them.

Keep up the good work!

About the sprinklers.
They provide indeed 15ml of water, but that's every 5s. Plants need 4-5ml of water every 60s. This leads to some differences if you're like me and want to create an electrical circuit to keep the water always at a wanted level depending on what you're farming. So with a 2x2 and 1 sprinkler in the middle or a 2x5 with 2 sprinklers you'll get 3ml per 5s which leads to 36ml per min so 36ml / 9 = 4ml so perfect for berries and no need for a complex circuit. With more water hungry plants though you won't be able to sustain the water levels over time. For those you'll need a 1x3 providing a whopping 60ml per min per planterbox or a 2x3 with 2 sprinklers (in the middle) for 48ml per min. For 5ml plants the required water amount is 45ml per min per planterbox. If you happen to be a perfectionist you'll need a circuit with a double timer for the proper fractions for your sprinklers, in the case of 2x3 setup (48ml per min) that'll be 225/240s for 5ml plants and 45/60 for 4ml.

I hope my ramblings will help someone out there :D
