Best Crops

Any recommendations on good crops to grow?

I've been doing oats and heart berries for food and healing potions

are there any plus mining foods? I'm trying to break into the lava areas

The two fruits in on the coast (pewpaya and pinegrapple) are are a very easy and strong source of ranged or melee damage. Cook one of those together with larva meat for damage + crit.

Cooking the rice and corn you can get from the crystal biome together results in very powerful anti-boss defensive food.

My exploration food is Pewpaya + glow tulips for ranged damage + glow.

Mining damage food is pretty rare but there are a few sources.

One is the Grumpkin that comes from the Halloween event (you can switch holiday events on or off via the options menu). The other is the "Bottom Tracer" fish which can be caught in the sunken see (use a bucket to take some of the water back to your base).

Fish in general can be cooked to give a wide variety powerful effects. One of the dragonfish you can catch by fishing in lava gives you burn immunity for example. And yes, fishing is a pain but that's what the Auto Fish mod is for.

You shouldn't need mining damage to access the lava area though. There's always an entrance somewhere. If you already found the main entrance ignore me.

Anything that increase move speed is the best crop.

Thank you!

I didn't realize there was an entrance to the lava area
