<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  **chia create** – creates a new plot according to the settings chosen in the start parameters.

  * **-k NUMBER**:  Specifies the k-size for the plot – valid values are 32, 33, 34 or 35.
    * A k32 plot requires about 240 GB of temp memory and ends up with about 100 GB.
  * **-n NUMBER**:  The number of times a plot should be created in series.
  * **-b NUMBER**:  Size of memory to be used in MB (default 4608 MB).
  * **-f NUMBER**:  The farmer public key can be specified here.
  * **-p NUMBER**:  The public key of a pool can be specified here.
  * **-a NUMBER**:  To specify the fingerprint of the key to use.
    * This option is useful if you have multiple private keys stored.
  * **-t PATH**:  Specifies the path to the temp directory.
  * **-2 PATH**:  Specifies the path to the optional second temp. directory; this directory is used only for phase 3 and 4
  * **-d PATH**:  Specifies the path to the final directory where the plot will be saved.
  * **-r NUMBER**:  Specifies the number of CPU cores to use in phase 1.
    * 2 cores seems to be the best setting, more than 4 cores will give negative results.
  * **-u NUMBER**:  Specifies the number of buckets.
    * More buckets require less ram but more accesses to the SSD/HDD.
    * There is no advantage to use less pots, the default is 128.
  * **-e**:  Disables bitfield plotting.
    * This setting is not recommended.
