11Overview22Cooking buffs are temporary effects granted by eating specific cooked meals. They provide bonuses across farming, fishing, combat, foraging, and daily life. Most buffs last around 4 minutes. Some can stack up to 5x by eating multiple servings of the same food. Only one buff type can be active at a time; eating a meal with a different buff replaces the current one. However, eating the same meal repeatedly increases the stack count for buffs that support stacking.44Farming Buffs77Creamy Seeds99Harvesting crops has a chance to drop regular or rare Everlasting Seeds. Stacks up to 5x. At max stacks, you get a seed back from nearly every harvest, and roughly 1 in 10 of those seeds is an Immortal seed. One of the best long-term farming investments. Eat 5 servings before harvesting a large field.1111RecipeIngredientsStationEnergyMirthshroom Soup2 MirthshroomCampfire+451313Watering Mastery1414The same amount of water irrigates more tiles.
