In , players can farm to obtain crops used in cooking and crafting, especially recipes that buff or heal. Contaminated Crops are the newest farming mechanic, allowing players to find contaminated versions of Berries, Wheat, and Aloe Vera in polluted areas. These crops can then be placed in Brewing Barrels to be distilled into Acid.
Contaminated Crops are relatively hard to come by. They spawn in limited areas and only occasionally provide seeds. However, there are several methods to increase your yield and turn these crops into a viable Acid farm. Here is the best way to find and farm Contaminated Crops in.
Contaminated cropslook similar to their regular counterparts in However, instead of the normal coloration, they are a deep blue and magenta, making them stand out among the other vegetation. They can be found in most polluted areas, but I've found the most densely populated area to be in the Northwest corner of Chalk Peak, around (-1274, -2471). Just spending a minute or two running around yielded me about 10 different variations of these crops.
This area is a higher-tier area with difficult enemies and a high pollution level. Bears in the area are around level 35 and have massive amounts of health, and the pollution level is around 120. Be prepared to fight or run if challenged by a bear, and I recommend drinking a Malt or Corn Ale to eliminate sanity loss from the pollution.
When harvesting, these crops only have a very low chance of dropping seeds. It appears that they are not affected by the Gardening Gloves or Harvesting Sickle yet, which provide chances to double seeds or double yield respectively when harvesting wild crops. With enough farming, though, you should be able to find seeds eventually and can begin to grow these crops at home.
Like most crops, Contaminated Crops can be grown from seeds in your territory. Unlike other crops, though, these seeds need little to no light to grow, and will actually grow slower if there is too much light. I
