Items

Peanuts are a source of food. They keep fresh a long time, and may be eaten raw.

Obtaining

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

Parameter	Min. value	Max. value
Temperature	25	40
Rainfall	0.5	1
Forest	0	0.7

Chunks meeting these conditions have a 2% likelihood of generating 0-10 peanut 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, but none contain peanut seeds.

Peanuts and peanut seeds cannot be purchased from any traders.

Cultivation

Mature peanuts

Peanut crops tolerate temperatures 10 to 42°C. If the temperature drops below 10°C or exceeds 42°C, the peanut crop will become “stunted” and begin to accumulate damage. Stunted peanut crops will yield 50% of normal when harvested.

Peanut crops consume 45 P (phosphorus) over 9 stages of growth. During stages 3-8, peanut crops feed bees and butterflies. Peanut crops take 2.5 months to mature, assuming a growth rate near 100%. Low moisture or nutrient levels can significantly delay maturation.

Each block of mature peanut crops will yield 8-12 handfuls of peanuts and 1-2 seed packets. Harvesting at stage 8 will yield 3-5 handfuls of peanuts, with a 99% chance of getting 1 seed packet. Harvesting before stage 8 has a 0% chance of getting any peanuts, and a 70% chance of getting 1 seed packet.

Usage

Raw peanuts grant 160 protein satiety when eaten. Peanuts can be used in cooking to make vegetable stews. Peanuts benefit from storage in ceramic storage vessels, or in cellars.

Peanuts may be put in a large trough to breed livestock. Pigs consider peanuts a treat, but sheep will not eat them.

History

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

Notes

• Peanuts are a good crop to focus on for a balanced diet. They have less cold tolerance than soybeans, and take longer to mature, but they use a different nutrient than flax and most grains. Also, you can replant without crop rotation, since bonemeal is easy to obtain in great quantity. Because they keep fresh a long time, and may be eaten raw, they are great for journeys.
