Growth Formula Starter is an Item exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in the Return of Them updates. It is crafted using 1 Empty Bottle, 1 Kelp Fronds, and 1 Ashes and requires an Alchemy Engine to prototype.

Usage

The Growth Formula is used once to enrich Farm Soil Turf with 8 to 24 Growth Formula Nutrients. Once consumed, it returns one Empty Bottle.

Growth Formula becomes more potent the more fermented (spoiled) it becomes. After the full 3 days of spoilage, it becomes Super Growth Formula with 5 uses.

Like other items, it spoils faster when wet and slower if in a chest. If left floating in the Ocean, the Growth Formula will spoil faster.

Wormwood can use growth formula to trigger bloom for a short amount of time.

Fertilizer	Name	Uses	Growth Formula Nutrient	Bloom
	Growth Formula Starter	1	8	1 minute
	Fermenting Growth Formula	1	16	2 minutes
	Fermented Growth Formula	1	32	4 minutes
	Super Growth Formula	5	32	4 minutes
