Sunflower (Crop)

Sunflower is a crop in Timberborn. The plant is identified by the common name Sunflower and is known for its characteristic seed head pattern that reflects a mathematical structure found in real-world sunflowers. The in-game crop was introduced at the game's Early Access launch and later had a distribution change noted in Update 4, which states "Now Folktail only." The Chinese localization for the plant is 向日葵.

Sunflower seed heads display spirals that follow the Fibonacci sequence. The arrangement of successive seeds around the sunflower capitulum approximates the Golden angle, about 137.5 degrees, which is derived from the Golden ratio. This pattern produces efficient, tightly packed seed arrangements in real sunflowers and is the natural phenomenon the game's representation references.

• Sunflower is presented as a crop type within Timberborn and carries the real-world botanical patterning described above.
• The crop's historical timeline in the game starts at Early Access launch and includes a change recorded in Update 4 ("Now Folktail only").
• The sunflower seed pattern follows the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden angle (approximately 137.5 degrees), a mathematical feature portrayed in the crop's design.
• The game's Chinese localization uses the term 向日葵 for this crop.

Players can recognize Sunflower by its association with the classic spiraling seed head pattern and by the localization name displayed in Chinese-language settings. The historical notes indicate the crop has been present since Early Access and received a distribution note in Update 4; the phrase "Now Folktail only" appears in the game's changelog for that update.
