Silence of the turnips

[Emelio Lizardo]

Where are they? I've been wondering around a swamp for a long time and not seen one. Haven't seen any onions in the Meddws either.

[Suzaku]

Just gotta keep searching. It's hard to see the yellow flowers in the swamps, sometimes.

And onions are only found in seed form, and only in chests in the mountains biome.

Turnips are hard to find. Keep looking. Onions will most likely be in a chest in a log cabin ruins in the mountains. You still need turnips for the spice rack even if you find onions first.

The other problem with turnip plants is they do not respawn like carrot flowers do. I marked where I found one in the first swamp biome I explored, it never respawned.

I visited about 6-8 swamps in my last world. I think maybe 3-4 of those swamp biomes had turnip plants and then it was like 1-3 for the area.

Once you have turnip seeds, probably just 3, you hide one in case of unfortunate events. Quickly plant the rest to get your farm going. My first play through I planted them, got the draugr event and they were all destroyed. Boy was I pissed. Who knew about fences and moats...

Yeah, you learn about fences and plants real quick.

You do not need a high fence, even the half sized walls work, or use the small beams to make a rail fence.

Always keep enough of the vegetable in a container to be able to plant more seed plants. I usually keep a stockpile of 24 of eahc in my farm just to replant because regrowing an entire crop of 30 or so from a few seeds takes too long.

Carrot plants do not respawn. At least I've never seen them come back and the wiki is explicit about it.

I have seen them spawn in an area already cleared and explored.

Hello Clarice, I dream about having you for dinner with a side of turnips and a mug of muck

[knighttemplar1960]

I always have the best luck finding my first turnips in those long thin strips of swamp that rarely contain crypts.

It puts the guck on the skin or else it gets the turnip again

I find turnips at the border of the swamps before you get into the black forest.

Gonna need some proof here. I use a mod that shows a timer for when a resource will respawn and it never shows anything for seed plants.

I think that they do, but I'm not 100% on that. I just found one in our server next to the road on the way to the Trader and I picked it (on day 348, but I doubt it's the game time that the spawn timer is on, if it does indeed respawn).

Since someone is on our server almost all the time, if the respawn timer is less than three or four hours, it'll be easy to check.

(I can ping you the location if you want to check yourself next time you're on.)

Is there some terrain that turnips are associated with or are they distributed purely randomly?
