Mushrooms and Wild Plants
Wild plants provide ingredients, potion materials and seeds that can be kept or cultivated.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Mushrooms and Wild Plants
Natural surface and cave growth across the biomes where each plant occurs.
Before you go
- Access to the areas where the target plants grow.
- Inventory space for gathered plants and seeds.
- Storage to separate ingredients from general materials.
Farming steps
- Explore accessible surfaces and caves while watching for mushrooms, flowers and other natural plants.
- Gather unfamiliar plants and note where you found them.
- Collect flower seeds when they drop and keep them apart from the plant ingredients.
- Store potion materials such as Caveglow, Firemone or Iceblossom for recipes that need them.
- Check your available recipes before deciding which plants to consume or preserve.
- Plant seed-bearing useful varieties in Farmland when a renewable home supply is worthwhile.
- Use surplus ingredients in cooking or crafting rather than carrying them indefinitely.
- Keep rare or unfamiliar ingredients until you have checked recipes; use common surplus first.
- A natural plant is not necessarily a crop, so do not reserve plot space until you have seeds and a use.
Repeat, collect and use
Wild gathering can be repeated by exploring areas where plants occur; cultivation is repeatable only for varieties with usable seeds.
Common mistakes
- Assuming every plant can be farmed: first confirm that it provides seeds suitable for planting.
- Using potion ingredients as ordinary food: store them for their crafting role.
- Farming decorative plants without a purpose: reserve fields for useful, seed-bearing varieties.
When to stop or switch
Stop gathering a plant when its stored quantity covers the recipes you plan to make; resume when a recipe or new need consumes it.
