Carrots are a source of food. Carrot crops consume the same nutrient as flax crops.

Obtaining

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

Parameter Min. value Max. value
Temperature 5 24
Rainfall 0.35 0.75
Forest 0 0.6

Chunks meeting these conditions have a 4% likelihood of generating 0-10 carrot 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 carrot seeds can sometimes be found in a Cracked vessel (Seed).

Carrots and carrot seeds cannot be purchased from any traders.

Cultivation

Mature onions (should be carrots)

Carrot crops tolerate temperatures -10 to 32°C, but only grow when above 0°C. If the temperature drops below -10°C or exceeds 32°C, the carrot crop will become “stunted” and begin to accumulate damage. Stunted carrot crops will yield 75% of normal when harvested.

Carrot crops consume 40 K (potassium) over 7 stages of growth. During stages 2-6, carrot crops feed bees and butterflies. Carrot crops take 1.2 months to mature, assuming a growth rate near 100%. Low moisture or nutrient levels can significantly delay maturation.

Each block of mature carrot crops will yield 9-13 carrots and 1-2 seed packets. Harvesting at stage 6 will yield 2-4 carrots, with a 99% chance of getting 1 seed packet. Harvesting before stage 6 has a 0% chance of getting any carrots, and a 70% chance of getting 1 seed packet.

Usage

Carrots provide 100 vegetable satiety when eaten raw. Carrots count as a vegetable for cooking and can be used in meat stew, vegetable stew, soups and porridges. They stay fresh 21 days if you keep them in your inventory. After that, it takes 4 days for them to turn into rot . A full stack of 64 carrots will turn into 32 rot. Carrots are preserved longer when stored in a storage vessel in a cellar . They can be further preserved through pickling .

Carrots can be put in a large trough to breed livestock. Pigs and sheep consider carrots a treat.[1]

History

  • Version 1.16.0 doubled growth times and yields for most crops, with some exceptions.

Notes

  • Jan-Jun, if the temperature is 0-21°C at 4pm, it’s good for planting carrot seeds.
  • Carrots are a decent crop to focus on for a balanced diet. They have higher yield when stunted than most crops, but use the same nutrient as flax, making crop rotation more challenging. Also, the best fertilizers aren't easy to obtain in great quantity.
