Basic Harvesting Tea

Food and drink,

The Basic Harvesting Tea stacks 10 to a slot.

Basic Harvesting Tea recipe

Mixing Table recipe

  1. Slot 1: Yellow Berry×1
  2. Slot 2: Green Berry×1
  3. Slot 3: Green Berry×1
  4. Slot 4: Green Berry×1

5s per batch, yields 1

Also mixes on Cooking Workbench

The order is part of the recipe. The table checks slot 1 against the first ingredient, slot 2 against the second, and so on, and stops at the first empty slot: the same ingredients in another order make nothing.

Put more of the same in every slot to mix several batches in one go. Each extra batch adds 5s.

The boost adds to every hit on a corpse. Fractions carry over to the next hit.

One harvesting tea runs at a time: drinking a second one replaces whichever has less time left. A tea of another kind runs alongside it.

Bear Pie and Rich Bear Pie multiply the boost of an active ore, wood, scrap or harvesting tea. With no tea running there is nothing for them to multiply.
