Grown on sand from onion seeds.

How to obtain:

  • Plant onion seeds in a sandy area. Water it immediately, and water it again each time it changes size. Harvest once the option appears.

You appear to get a higher yield when there is no-one close to you, get a 4 yield with company and 9 yield when growing on my own.

Note - I got 5:1 yield when I was west of the UArt in QR (-285, 6920)..I have traveled north along this line to (-285, 6420) with the same result. I am completely alone out here. :) At (-1285, 6420) it reverts back to 4:1 yield. Iwibara

Note 2 - I repeatedly got 10 onions per seed at 798 7017, near my compound. There were no avatars within a 5-coord radius, possibly not within 10, but there were 2-5 name tags visible at the edges of my screen at all times. The point I grew at is within 2 coords of water and at least 6 coords from any dirt or grass. - Wadjet


Uses

Note - Unlike the other vegetables, if you over water onions they do not die. Whether over-watering has any effect on seed generation or yield is unknown. [Is this verified?! it was not true in Beta] [I accidentally overwatered a few onion plants today. Growth of the overwatered plants was noticeably delayed, and I think a couple of the plants shrunk. - Wadjet]
