Best plantable food source?

[i am not my pants]

I feel like im running out of fish (is it possible?), and all i plant for now is that balbo tree that mostly gives you water. What's a good caloric plant and where can i find it?

melons are the best

Fish respawn after a little while.

Chinese Potatos are good - a single seed provides you with about half a dozen or so edible seeds (so you just replant the last one you get and grow a new plant). Provides +15 Food, no water. Lantern Fruits are also good.

Wait you can plant plants???

after doing some research, i came to found that chinese potatoes and lantern fruit are best food source and they give most power to bioreactor(65 and 75 per 900 seconds), thanks everyone!

Piom: yup ^.^

There are two islands in the game, one with the Big ass gun, and the other with 3 abandoned stations. (Also has a lot of lore for what happened to the Degrassi Survivors)

On the island with the 3 bases, there is a Schematic for Internal and External Grow beds (large crop plots) and a tree full of latern fruiit, and a Chinese potatoe and Marble melon in the middle base. (cut for seeds).

make an internal crop plot, plant the seeds, have food forever in base/cyclops XD

( i personally prefer the melons because they give considerable food/water. I cut up a few rows to have spare seeds in a locker next to them, then just continually plant until i need to fill up locker with seeds again)

According to the wiki, it's marblemelons that provide the best bang for your buck in Bioreactors:

It's under "Energy Values --> Flora (Land based)".

Don't forget about Bulbo trees (+3 Food +10 Water). They're great for re-hydration (and they look pretty cool as decoration - not as pretty as the Lantern Fruit trees but much prettier than Chinese Potatoes or Marblemelons (which both look like weeds)).

Yus XD I keep Latern / Bulbo trees for looks in my 'Biodome' section of my base XD

^These values have changed with almost every new Build - need to find out if he's talking about Stable or Experimental - the values may be changing again. I'd be shocked to find that Lantern Fruit are getting un-nerfed (they used to be the best food available) but anything's possible.
