Adhesive and crafting
Grow vegetable starch for adhesive
A renewable way to keep weapon and armor modifications supplied with adhesive.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Grow vegetable starch for adhesive
A connected settlement garden and any cooking station.
Before you go
- Access to a settlement workshop and cooking station.
- Corn, mutfruit, and tato planted within the settlement.
- Purified water available for cooking.
Farming steps
- Choose a settlement where you can manage a garden and reach a cooking station.
- Plant corn, mutfruit, and tato in workshop range.
- Assign settlers to tend the plots if you have settlers available.
- Harvest each crop when it is ready and take the produce to the cooking station.
- Collect purified water from your supplies or settlement storage.
- At the cooking station, craft vegetable starch from the listed ingredients.
- Use the resulting adhesive at a weapon or armor workbench for the modification you planned.
- Check your crop and water inventory before starting a large crafting session so you know which ingredient is limiting production.
- Keep a reserve of starch or adhesive for the next upgrade instead of spending the entire batch on a low-priority mod.
Repeat, collect and use
Harvest the plots as crops become available, then cook another batch whenever you have the required ingredients. This is a renewable production loop, not an instant harvest.
Common mistakes
- Planting only one or two of the required crops leaves the recipe incomplete; maintain corn, mutfruit, and tato together.
- Assuming the garden supplies purified water can stall crafting; collect water separately.
- Cooking all available starch immediately can leave no adhesive for a more useful upgrade; craft to match your planned work.
When to stop or switch
Pause cooking when you have enough adhesive for the upgrades you intend to make, then return when another crop harvest or crafting project makes the loop worthwhile.
