Wheat
Wheat is a crop grown from Wheat Seeds on a Crop Patch. It ripens in 16 min when kept watered, and each ripe cell gives 1 Wheat plus 1-2 seeds back.
Slaves eat it from a House pantry or from your hand. One Wheat restores 18 hunger, which ranks it 4th of 6 crops.
Growing
Plant one Wheat Seeds per patch cell. A cell only grows at full speed while it is watered; a dry cell grows at 10% speed. A fresh planting starts watered for 1 min. After that, rain and storms and the workers of a Silo keep it wet.
| Stage | Watered | Near a silo | Dry the whole time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprout | 0 to 6 min 24 s | 0 to 5 min 7 s | 0 to 1 h 4 min |
| Growing | 6 min 24 s to 12 min | 5 min 7 s to 9 min 36 s | 1 h 4 min to 2 h |
| Tall | 12 min to 16 min | 9 min 36 s to 12 min 48 s | 2 h to 2 h 40 min |
| Ripe | 16 min | 12 min 48 s | 2 h 40 min |
Patches within 240px of a silo grow in 80% of the time.
Harvest
Stand on a ripe cell and press E (or use a Hoe from its hotbar slot). Each cell is harvested on its own.
| Drop | Normal | Near a silo |
|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 1 | 1 |
| Wheat Seeds | 1-2 | 1-2 |
| One random other seed | 8% | 8% |
The silo adds 25% to the seed roll, rounded down.
As food
Every unit eaten restores 18 hunger. When you hand-feed a slave (stand next to it and press E) it also heals 2 HP, which works in The Pit too.
| Crop | Hunger | Heals |
|---|---|---|
| Potato | +30 | 4 HP |
| Corn | +28 | 4 HP |
| Strawberry | +22 | 3 HP |
| Wheat | +18 | 2 HP |
| Garlic | +12 | 2 HP |
| Cotton | +1 | 0 HP |
