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.
