Food and crafting supplies
Potatoes and Beets
Potatoes and beets support meals and can be replanted to make a renewable raft food supply.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Potatoes and Beets
Barrels and floating debris along the raft route, island loot containers, and raft Crop Plots for replanting.
Before you go
- Hook to collect barrels and floating debris.
- Small Crop Plot for planting potatoes or beets.
- Fresh water and protection from seagulls.
Farming steps
- Steer along the raft route and use the Hook to collect reachable barrels and floating debris.
- Open each collected barrel and set aside potatoes, beets and any seeds you want to plant.
- Explore island containers during stops for additional vegetable supplies.
- Plant a potato or beet in a suitable Crop Plot on the raft.
- Water the plot with fresh water and protect it with a Scarecrow or roof coverage.
- Harvest the mature crop and keep some of the output for meals while reserving seed or produce for replanting.
- Replant to maintain a raft supply rather than relying only on future barrels.
- Keep at least one planting reserve before cooking a large batch.
- Collect barrels during normal sailing so food gathering does not require a separate trip.
Repeat, collect and use
Barrel and island-container collection repeats as you travel. Crop production repeats by planting, watering, protecting and harvesting; retain a seed or crop for the next planting.
Common mistakes
- Eating every potato or beet: save planting stock to sustain the plot.
- Leaving planted crops dry: water with fresh water after planting.
- Assuming barrels are the only source: island containers and raft crops also contribute.
When to stop or switch
Stop collecting extra vegetables when your food storage and planting reserve are sufficient; resume when meals or replanting draw down that stock.
