  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to make a farming system (I don’t need the scripts just how could I make it Like the Idea?

  2. What is the issue? I don’t know what can I do to make it

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Yes, I tried looking but found none
    Again, I don’t need the scripts Just how I could make it?

I don’t recall what Islands’ farming system is like, but I’m guessing what you are after is a tile which needs to be seeded and watered until the crop (ex. wheat) has grown?

Yeah, Do you have any idea how could I create a system like that?

I don’t want the code, I just want to know How would I create an efficient way of that…

A good place to start is to divide the problem into smaller parts. Your farming system requires the following steps:

1. Seeding
2. Watering
3. Watering -- Or however many times you want it to be watered
4. Harvest

You don’t want to progress to the next stage before the previous stage is finished. Below is a code for how this may be started, this is missing a lot of the featured you will need, but this is one approach showing the lifetime of a farming tile.

A very simple and barebones start could be to do something along the following lines:

function startTile(tile)
	while tile:GetAttribute("Seed") == "" do -- Replace "" for whatever your non-seeded state will be called.
		task.wait(.1) -- No need to check that often. Avoid wait() loops, consider changing to an event listener.
	end
	
	while tile:GetAttribute("GrowthTimeLeft") > 0 do
		local dt = task.wait(.1) -- DeltaTime
		tile:SetAttribute("TimeSinceWatered", tile:GetAttribute("TimeSinceWatered") + dt)
		if tile:GetAttrubute("TimeSinceWatered") > droughtTime then
			print("Tile dried and died.")
			tile:SetAttribute("Seed", )
			return -- Abort the lifetime, no need to finish it.
		end
		tile:SetAttribute("GrowthTimeLeft") -= dt
	end
	print("Plant finished!")
end

PS: I know you said no code, but this is so far from the finished product I figured this would be fine. A good solution for this might be using object oriented programming, usually quite efficient in large quantities and easy to modify at later stages.
