Grown on sand from onion seeds.

How to obtain:

• Plant onion seeds in a sandy area. Water it immediately, and water it again each time it changes size. Harvest once the option appears.

If you are near Khmun or Meroe etc. you should know of The Magic Onion Patch located by Sonny. Coords are (-30, -1975). The yield per seed is 19. There is a public warehouse built there with jugs you can use to grow your onions. You may stash onions in the warehouse. The warehouse was built by Borian who lives near there. He plans to build a public kitchen for carry food nearby as well. Please be sure to return the jugs to the warehouse before leaving. Bring your seeds! -- Shams

You appear to get a higher yield when there is no-one close to you, get a 4 yield with company and 9 yield when growing on my own.

Note - I got 5:1 yield when I was west of the UArt in QR (-285, 6920)..I have traveled north along this line to (-285, 6420) with the same result. I am completely alone out here. :) At (-1285, 6420) it reverts back to 4:1 yield. Iwibara

Note 2 - I repeatedly got 10 onions per seed at 798 7017, near my compound. There were no avatars within a 5-coord radius, possibly not within 10, but there were 2-5 name tags visible at the edges of my screen at all times. The point I grew at is within 2 coords of water and at least 6 coords from any dirt or grass. - Wadjet

Uses

• Cooking
• Sheep food

Note - Unlike the other vegetables, if you over water onions they do not die. Whether over-watering has any effect on seed generation or yield is unknown. [Is this verified?! it was not true in Beta] [I accidentally overwatered a few onion plants today. Growth of the overwatered plants was noticeably delayed, and I think a couple of the plants shrunk. - Wadjet]
