Set up your queue

Active CXL Premium is required. Click the Auto Cropper Station, enable automation and assign owned seeds to queue slots. The base queue has five slots; up to 15 purchased extra slots allow 20 total. Slots are queued planting capacity, not extra crop plots or seed copies. A plant still requires a free placed plot and an available copy of that seed.

Recharge manually at the station. Recharge sets the deadline to now plus current capacity; it does not stack a second full charge on the remaining charge and does not spend Farm Coins. Changing team/path cannot mint energy: remaining charge is clamped if capacity decreases. Premium expiration disables automation until renewed.

What happens while offline

While enabled, charged and Premium-active, Auto Cropper harvests at the actual due time and replants according to its queue when capacity and seed copies permit. Harvested produce is immediately part of inventory; its freshness follows its real collection timestamp, not the time you next load the page. It does not sell produce or complete orders for you. Aster’s Last Light can collect the final growing automated crops after energy runs out, without replanting; it still requires active Premium.
