Soybeans are a source of food. They keep fresh a long time, but cannot be eaten raw.

Obtaining

Small patches of soybean crops can be found while exploring, in areas with the following temperature, precipitation, and forestation.

Parameter Min. value Max. value
Temperature 20 40
Rainfall 0.35 0.75
Forest 0 1

Chunks meeting these conditions have a 3.4% likelihood of generating 0-10 soybean crops, which might include a mix of mature and immature crops.

Surface ruins and underground ruins usually contain 1 or more cracked loot vessels, which might contain crop seeds. 5-7 soybean seeds can sometimes be found in a Cracked vessel (Seed).

Soybeans and soybean seeds cannot be purchased from any traders.

Cultivation

Mature soybeans

Soybean crops tolerate temperatures -5 to 40°C, but only grow when above 0°C. Jan-Jun, if the temperature is 0-28°C at 4pm, it’s good for planting soybean seeds. If the temperature drops below -5°C or exceeds 40°C, the soybean crop will become “stunted” and begin to accumulate damage. Stunted soybean crops will yield 50% of normal when harvested.

Soybean crops consume 35 K (potassium) over 11 stages of growth. During stages 2-10, soybean crops feed bees and butterflies. Soybean crops take 1.25 months to mature, assuming a growth rate near 100%. Low moisture or nutrient levels can significantly delay maturation.

Each block of mature soybean crops will yield 5-7 soybeans and 1-2 seed packets. Harvesting at stage 10 will yield 1-3 soybeans, with a 99% chance of getting 1 seed packet. Harvesting before stage 10 has a 0% chance of getting any soybeans, and a 70% chance of getting 1 seed packet.

Usage

Soybeans cannot be eaten raw. Similar to peanuts, soybeans can be used as an ingredient in meat stew and vegetable stew. Soybeans benefit from storage in ceramic storage vessels, or in cellars. They may also be pickled to further extend their shelf life.

Soybeans may be put in a large trough to breed livestock. Pigs and sheep consider soybeans a treat.[1]

History

  • Version 1.16.0 doubled growth times and yields for most crops, with some exceptions.
  • Before version 1.18.0, soybeans could not be used as the primary ingredients of vegetable stew, only as an add-on.

Notes

  • Apr-Jun, if the temperature is 10-28°C at 4pm, it’s good for planting soybean seeds[2].
  • Soybeans are a decent crop to focus on for a balanced diet. They have greater cold tolerance than peanuts.
