Valheim is a survival game developed by the Swedish developer named Iron Gate Studio. It was released on 2nd February 2021. The long-awaited version of Valheim- Hearth and Home update is finally released. In this version, the players will find many new exciting features like crafting Cartography Table, riding Lox through the lands, and most importantly, this update has a new type of seed- onion seeds. So now the players can farm onions as well.
Where to Get Onion Seeds in Valheim?
The onion seeds can’t be found near the greens on the plain land. In the previous version, there was nothing in the Mountain Biome. Every Biome except Mountain Biome has some seeds available- the dangerous Plains has barley and cloudberries, the Swamps has turnips, the Black Forest has carrots and blueberries, but the Mountains had nothing. In this version, Players can find Onion seeds in the Mountains. While in the mountains, the players must find stone structures like ruined towers or castles or mountain villages with abandoned houses. Inside those ruined houses or towers, they’ll get the chest that may contain onion seeds (every chest doesn’t have onion seeds inside it). Onion seeds are black in color. Therefore, now the players can have a new loot in the mountains.
How to Plant and Grow Onion Seeds in Valheim?
There is nothing complicated in onion farming. Like other crops, to grow onion, the player needs to make a Velheim Cultivator- it is a bronze cultivator. Players can get bronze by smelting copper and tin together. The process of making Bronze Cultivator is also easy. They need five bronze and five core wood to make the cultivator. After making the cultivator, they just need to choose the onion seeds from their inventory to plant. To plant them, they’ll need to select plain ground and then use the cultivator to till the soil. While planting the seeds, keep in mind that they must be planted at an adequate distance from each other; otherwise, they’ll never grow. Thus the process of producing the seed is completed.
Like every other seed (like carrot, barley, cloudberry, blueberry, etc.),onion seeds also take three in-game days to grow up entirely. Once the onion is fully grown, the players can choose whether to eat it raw, cook it, or replant it to get more onions. It is profitable to replant it because, from each planted onion,the players will get three seeds back.
The Benefit of Eating Onions
Well, onions only have one use- they are only used to make onion soup. Players need three onions to make the soup, and it provides twelve health and sixty stamina. Though it is not the best food of the game, it can still give the players health and energy to survive and explore the Mountain Biome.
