Steal a Seed: How to Unlock More Planters (Requirements & Costs)

Extra planters in Steal a Seed (also called "plots") are unlocked by buying them with in-game cash directly at the locked plot. The cost is displayed on the plot itself and rises with each unlock — in one recorded session, after unlocking a plot, the next one showed a price of 150 million cash. The official game description also ties unlocking more planters to treadmill progression ("Upgrade your treadmill and unlock more planters"), though exactly how treadmill level relates to individual planter unlocks isn't documented.

What changes when another planter is unlocked

Unlocking a plot adds new planting space, letting you plant more stolen seeds and earn more cash per cycle. Expanding planting capacity is an officially supported part of the game loop: steal seeds, plant them, earn cash, upgrade your treadmill, and unlock more planters.

Find the unlock interaction

Locked plots appear in your growing area with their cost shown on the plot itself. Walk up to a locked plot to interact with it and see the current purchase price. The unlock is a direct cash purchase made at the plot — you don't need a separate menu to buy it.

Check the cost before buying

The price scales upward with each subsequent unlock. The 150 million cash figure comes from one observed session and is an example, not a fixed price schedule — your next plot may cost more or less depending on how many you've already opened. Check the amount shown on the locked plot before committing your cash.

Complete the unlock

Once you have enough cash, purchase the plot at its interaction point. After the purchase, the plot becomes yours and available for planting. There's no documented completion animation or reward message to look for beyond the plot itself becoming usable — simply confirm the new space accepts seeds.

Limits to keep in mind

• No complete cost ladder for every plot is documented; prices should be checked in-game at each locked plot.
• No verified maximum number of planters has been confirmed.
• The official description links planter unlocks to treadmill upgrades, but recorded gameplay shows them as direct cash purchases — treat the treadmill as part of the progression path toward affording unlocks and check the locked plot's own requirements in-game.
• Don't assume a specific treadmill level automatically unlocks a specific plot; the plot's displayed price is the confirmed requirement.

Once the plot is purchased and usable, plant your next seeds in the newly available space.
