Vanilla Wheat Farming
I have been developing a new mod to replace this, as this one became broken with updates and required a rewrite. The replacement I am testing is unliistedhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3152846963
Wheat can be grown in the same way as other produce. Then you can use a Mortar and Pestle together with a sack to mill the wheat into flour. There are many great farming mods for the game. However, the aim of this mod is to provide a simple, vanilla, and balanced addition of wheat to the game with nothing else.
Includes a bugfix for the base game, which was preventing plants from taking damage during cold temperatures
The mod has to replace some existing farming system functions with slightly modified ones. Their operation is generally completely the same, just adding handling for wheat. However one key bugfix has been applied. When the new climate system was added it broke damage to plants in winter. This mod includes a fix for this that means crops will die when covered in snow and be damaged by lower temperatures.
Specifically plants have the following damage now:
- If the plant tile has snow on it, the plant will die.
- If the plant tile is not in a room and the temperature is below freezing it will take damage.
- If the plant tile is not in a room and the temperature is very below freezing it will die.
In the mod wheat has freshness but cannot be directly eaten. It is both the seed and the vegetable from the wheat plant. It can be either planted to grow more wheat, or it can be milled into flour. It has only one mature state, not a separate maturity state like many of the plants.
Sacks of Flour have been added to spawn tables where you would see farming supplies and sacks of produce.
It is grown in the same way as other produce. Wheat takes much longer to grow than the other produce. It only has one mature state, of the wheat is both the seed and the product. Five wheat is required to plant in a furrow.
Wheat has freshness and can go stale or even rot. It takes months for the wheat to become stale, and even longer for it to rot. To extend the life of wheat, pack into into a sack. This uses the features added in another of my mods, which adds the ability to pack produce into the sacks in the vanilla game.

If you have DaysForRottenFoodRemoval set to remove rotten food, note that stale food is considered by this, so any setting may delete Wheat when you are unpacking it from a sack
As noted above, you can make a sack of wheat. This lasts longer than lose wheat. This is a useful way to store wheat when you want to use it for future growing, rather than conversion into flour. The following is used to make a sack of wheat:
- A needle*
- An empty sack
- 100 wheat
- Thread
* designates the item is not consumed during crafting
This requires Cooking (level 3) and Farming (level 1) skills, as well as:
- A mortar and pestle*
- An empty sack
- 100 wheat
* designates the item is not consumed during crafting
Given you require 100 wheat to make flour, you will have to grow quite a lot of wheat to be able to make a bag of flour. Each wheat plant will give you roughly 10 wheat, so you will need ten plants to mature to be able to make one bag.
The sacks are consumed in the process, as empty flour does not leave a sack behind. Significant cooking and a little farming skill is required to mill the flour, and the action of milling takes considerable time.
The mod is fully compatible with multiplayer and be added to existing games, however wheat to begin growing will only spawn in new zones.
