1414 The Merchant: Food is the most-used of the three settlement merchants because every crop on its advanced list feeds into a Cooking Fire or Alchemy Table recipe. Seeds are the single most valuable category: a single batch of Flax Seeds from this merchant seeds a full farming loop without waiting for wild flax drops. Prices follow the same x1/x2/x5/x10 bulk structure as the other merchants.

1818 Buy seeds in x10 bulk for the best time efficiency. Prices per seed are constant, but a single x10 purchase saves nine trade interactions.Aloe Seeds are the chokepoint for medicine production. Stockpile them early if your camp runs healing potion batches.Clearing island threat camps progressively unlocks more crop types; this is the primary way to access Flax Seeds without farming for wild flax.Pair a Merchant: Food visit with a Seedbed for Plants stocking trip to minimize travel overhead.

3333 What the Goods Are For

3535 This is the most useful of the three settlement merchants because almost every line on its advanced list feeds a Cooking Fire or Alchemy Table recipe. The seeds are the standout: one bulk seed purchase starts a self-sustaining Farming loop, so you only pay the merchant once and then harvest the crop indefinitely.

3838 Buying Strategy

4040 Like the other merchants, prices are flat per unit across the x1, x2, x5, and x10 bulk tiers, so buying x10 costs the same per item as ten single buys while saving nine trade slots on the 70-minute refresh cycle. Prioritize seeds over raw crops: a Flax Seeds batch removes any dependence on wild flax drops, and Aloe Seeds are the bottleneck for medicine production, so stockpile them early. Pair a visit here with a Seedbed for Plants restock to cut down on travel. For the other two traders, see Merchant: Animal Products and Merchant: Natural Resources, each built from its own Merchant Contract: Food-style contract.
