Slimepedia Entry

About:
The humble carrot was brought to the Far, Far Range because they're easy to grow and nutritious. Most ranchers swear by them as they're a handy portable snack, promote good night vision, and when juiced are only second to coffee as the perfect morning beverage.

On the Ranch:
Deposit a carrot into a garden's depositor and you'll have a large carrot crop of your own.

Tips

• The Carrot is the most common and most accessible vegetable in the game, and is very helpful for feeding veg-eating slimes, such as the Rock Slime or the Rad Slime. However because no Slime favors it, it will never produce double the number of Plorts produced.
  • For this reason, it may be unwise to grow Carrots unless you don't yet have access to favored foods.
• Their larger harvest yield compared to more valuable foods may be suitable as incinerated food for Fire Slimes.
• Carrots are fairly abundant in The Overgrowth once it is unlocked; 3 wild Carrot plots are located there.

Trivia

• The Silver Parsnip's in-game model once resembled a silver carrot prior to food's graphical update in Update 0.3.1. However their Slimepedia icons continue to resemble one another.
