Overview
The 🎓 Mastery Lab opens at stage 6 (Master Grower). Each case is a real field problem with three choices, such as water standing in a planned block or a buyer wanting culinary buds. Pick the answer supported by crop biology, observation, records and risk management.
The lab always serves a case from your weakest topic first, preferring cases you haven't seen. A Seasonal challenge button gives one set case for the current farm week.
Topics
Nine topics: Site & soil, Choosing cultivars, Propagation, Plant care & pruning, Harvest timing, Distilling, Pests & disease, Stewardship and Farm business. There are 40 cases in all.
Scoring
| Result | Topic score | Coins | XP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Correct, first time you see the case | +6 | +6 | +6 |
| Correct on a case you've seen | +2 | +2 | +2 |
| Wrong | −1 | 0 | 0 |
Competencies
- Each topic score runs from 0 to 100. Your overall mastery % is the average of the nine topics.
- When a topic reaches 80, you earn that topic's competency: +25 coins and +20 XP, once.
- The side panel shows your decision accuracy, best streak of correct answers and a case notebook of your last 18 answers.
Good to know
- Competencies are in-game achievements, not professional licenses.
- Completing 15 mastery cases is one of the three ways to reach stage 6 in the Grower Journey.
- In 3D, the Learning Center's Mastery case serves casework that adapts to your weakest topic.
