WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Visible herb and food-ingredient plants throughout accessible game areas; distribution has been improved across the game.

Herbs and food ingredients are distributed more broadly in The Breach update. Gather visible ingredients as you traverse accessible areas, then use the food interface to decide whether to eat an ingredient or save it for a recipe. Ingredients are more effective when used in a recipe, so process them when you have a suitable recipe and want the stronger food result.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Have access to areas where ingredient plants appear.
Carry room for ingredients or food.
Know which recipe or recovery need you are collecting toward.

Check your food and ingredient inventory before setting out.
Choose an accessible area you are already exploring rather than relying on an unverified fixed plant route.
Look for visible herb and ingredient plants along paths and gather them when convenient.
Review the collected items in the inventory; the game identifies ingredients that can be eaten and those better used in recipes.
Open the cooking interface and select a recipe that uses the materials you have, if one suits your need.
Use the prepared food for recovery or keep the ingredients for a later recipe.

Farming tips

Ingredients can be eaten, but the interface notes they are more effective in a recipe.
Gather during a route you already need to travel; the notes do not establish fixed plant coordinates or yields.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat on subsequent explorations as ingredients appear. No fixed spawn count or refresh interval is documented.

Common mistakes

Eating every ingredient immediately: check whether a recipe would make it more effective.
Expecting a particular plant at a precise location: gather visible resources in your current area.
Confusing food with ingredients: use the inventory display to decide whether to cook or consume.

When to stop or switch

Stop gathering when you have enough for your next recipe or recovery need, then continue your main route.
