Why the new quickslot farming system matters
Farming has always been an important activity for gathering resources and maintaining a steady supply of crops. However, one of the biggest frustrations for players was the process of planting seeds. Every planting hole required manual interaction through inventory management, making larger farming operations feel unnecessarily slow.
With patch 1.09.00, the developers have simplified this workflow considerably. Once seeds are assigned to a quickslot, you can move from plot to plot without repeatedly opening menus, making large-scale farming much more efficient.
How to assign seeds to a quickslot
Before you can use the new planting method, you must place your seeds on a hotkey. Press F3 to open your inventory or item management menu.
Locate the seeds you want to plant within your inventory. Assign the selected seeds to an available quickslot. This is the same hotbar system used for consumable items such as food and other usable resources.
Once completed, your seeds will be available directly from your hotbar.
How to plant seeds using quickslots
After assigning seeds, the planting process becomes much simpler.
Approach an empty planting hole in your farm. Press the quickslot hotkey that contains your assigned seeds.
When the planting prompt appears, press E to place the seed. Move to the next planting hole and repeat the process.
Because the seeds are already assigned to your hotbar, there is no need to repeatedly search through inventory menus between each planting action.
Comparing the old and new planting methods
| Action | Old Method | New Method |
|---|---|---|
| Open inventory | Every planting cycle | Only once for setup |
| Select seed | Repeatedly | Assigned once |
| Navigate menus | Frequent | Minimal |
| Plant multiple crops | Time-consuming | Fast |
| Overall convenience | Low | High |
The difference becomes especially noticeable when managing larger farms. Instead of constantly stopping to handle inventory interactions, you can focus entirely on moving between plots and planting crops.
Tips for faster farming after patch 1.09.00
Players who regularly maintain large fields should dedicate one of their quickslots exclusively to seeds. This allows seamless planting without disrupting other farming tasks. Keeping commonly used crop seeds organized in your inventory can also make it easier to switch between different crop types when necessary.
If you farm multiple crops, consider setting up your quickslots before beginning a planting session so you can move through your fields without interruptions.
The quickslot seed planting feature introduced in Crimson Desert patch 1.09.00 is a simple but highly effective improvement. By allowing seeds to be assigned directly to hotkeys, the update removes much of the friction from farming and significantly speeds up crop planting. Whether you manage a small garden or a large agricultural operation, the new system makes planting seeds far more convenient and efficient than the previous manual method.
