Obtaining

Cabbages do not grow in the wild. Cabbage seeds can only be purchased from an agricultural trader , or found in a cracked vessel , which may be found in ruins above or below ground. 5-7 cabbage seeds can sometimes be found in a Cracked vessel (seed) . 2-4 cabbage seeds can sometimes be found in a Cracked vessel (farming) .

Cultivation

Mature cabbage

Cabbage crops tolerate temperatures -5°C to 35°C. If the temperature drops below -5°C or exceeds 35°C, the cabbage crop will become “stunted” and begin to accumulate damage. Stunted cabbage crops will yield 50% of normal when harvested. If they accumulate enough damage to die from excessive cold or heat, cabbage crops will yield 50% of normal when harvested but the player is guaranteed 1 seed no matter the growth stage.

Cabbage crops consume 40 N (nitrogen) from the soil over 12 stages of growth. During stages 2-11, cabbage crops feed bees and butterflies . Cabbage crops take 1.5 months to mature, (14 days at default settings, assuming a growth rate near 100%. Low moisture or nutrient levels can significantly delay maturation.

Cabbages can be harvested by breaking the crop, no tool necessary. Each block of mature cabbage crops will yield 2 cabbages and 1-2 seed packets. Harvesting at stage 11 has an 85% chance of getting 1 cabbage and a 99% chance of getting 1 seed packet. Harvesting before stage 11 has a 0% chance of getting any cabbages, and a 70% chance of getting 1 seed packet.

Usage

When eaten raw, a cabbage provides 300 vegetable satiety , which is three times more than most vegetables.

Cabbages may used as a vegetable cooking ingredient in stews, soups, porridges, and pies.

Storage

Like all food, cabbages benefit from storage in a cellar , and tend to benefit from storage in containers during cool weather. A clay Storage Vessel is the best container for cabbages, due to its property of reducing perish rates for vegetables. Cabbages may be preserved via pickling , and benefit from storage in a cellar .
