Obtaining

Wheat can be found growing in the wild between the seasons of Spring and Late Summer, and has a chance to regenerate during those seasons every year. Harvest the plant to obtain wheat seeds as well as an average of 14 oz of wheat if the crop is mature. Wheat requires a minimum temperature of 4℃ to grow, and a minimum temperature of 0℃ to stay alive. Wheat is a Nutrient A crop.

Usage

Refining

• Four pieces of Straw will drop as well.

Food

Main article: Food

Once refined into grains, wheat can be eaten directly, or turned into bread. Wheat dough and flour are inedible. Consuming wheat replenishes the grain nutrient category.

Bread

Processing wheat into bread doubles it's weight, providing more food from each harvest. First, the grains are ground in a quern to produce flour. Next, the flour is hydrated with a bucket of fresh water to produce dough which is double the weight. If the flour weighs more than 80 oz, crafting the dough will leave the flour in the crafting grid, minus the 80 oz used to create a max weight piece of dough. Finally, the dough can be cooked in either are firepit or a forge to produce edible bread.

Animal Husbandry

Wheat grains can be used to breed Cows, Horses, Pigs, and Sheep. Just like the player, animals consume 5 oz of the food's weight each time they are fed.
