Paleberry (10 HP), Beryl Nut (5 HP) and Bacon Agaric (20 HP) – counts, regrowth and MAM research – plus the biomass plants and what is renewable.


Food is held in the hand and eaten with the left mouse button (also possible at full health, without effect). There is no hunger, thirst, sleep or temperature – food only heals. All three foods are neither sinkable nor automatable; a tamed [Lizard Doggo](/wiki/creatures/lizard-doggo) delivers Beryl Nuts (6 per find). The Explorer and the Chainsaw destroy food plants permanently.

## Food and healing plants

| Item | Heals | Yield per plant | Regrows | Where | On the map (community map, unverified) | MAM (Nutrients) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Beryl Nut](/wiki/items/beryl-nut) | 5 HP (½ segment) | 5 nuts per bush | yes, **3 in-game days** after harvest (not if the bush is felled or driven over) | everywhere, the most common food | ≈ 1 525 bushes | Scanner research: 5 Beryl Nut |
| [Paleberry](/wiki/items/paleberry) | 10 HP (1 segment) | 1–3 berries per plant | yes, 3 in-game days | grass and forest biomes, rarer than nuts | ≈ 2 164 plants | 2 Paleberry; tames Lizard Doggos |
| [Bacon Agaric](/wiki/items/bacon-agaric) | 20 HP (2 segments) | 1 | **no** (no parent plant object) | caves, shaded areas; rarer than berries | ≈ 1 615 | 1 Bacon Agaric |
| [Medicinal Inhaler](/wiki/items/medicinal-inhaler) | 100 HP (full) | – | – | crafted from food, Mycelia or Alien Protein | – | – |

Medicinal Inhaler recipes (Equipment Workshop, 1 each): Protein Inhaler (1 Alien Protein + 10 Beryl Nut), Vitamin Inhaler (10 Mycelia + 5 Paleberry), Therapeutic Inhaler (15 Mycelia + 1 Alien Protein + 1 Bacon Agaric), Nutritional Inhaler (1 Bacon Agaric + 2 Paleberry + 5 Beryl Nut). The AWESOME Shop sells a Health Pack (5 Inhalers) for 1 Coupon.

## Biomass plants

| Item | Energy (MJ) | Source | Yield (size-dependent) |
|---|---|---|---|
| :icon[Desc_Leaves_C] [Leaves](/wiki/items/leaves) | 15 | bushes, trees (hold E and walk; the Chainsaw collects automatically) | bushes 1–12, trees with Chainsaw 10–85 |
| :icon[Desc_Wood_C] [Wood](/wiki/items/wood) | 100 | trees (Chainsaw), small wood plants by hand | 0–10 per plant |
| :icon[Desc_Mycelia_C] [Mycelia](/wiki/items/mycelia) | 20 | small mushrooms in caves (hand), large mushrooms (Chainsaw), mushrooms on fallen trees, corals | 1–4 (hand), 14–15 (large mushrooms), Round Blue Cap Mushroom 12–15 (large) / ≈ 8 (medium) |
| Flower Petals | 100 | **removed** (until Update 8; only for Color Cartridges) | – |
| Vines | – | **removed** (burner fuel only, never Biomass) | – |

- Flora does **not** regrow and cannot be planted; the gigantic trees are indestructible. Trees with wood have hitboxes (placing with Ctrl nudges small trees upward); bushes and flowers do not.
- Chainsaw: fells all flora within 5 m of the target, burns 1 Solid Biofuel per 6 s (75 MW); a tree always yields more than 1 Solid Biofuel costs. Nobelisks destroy most bushes.
- Some plants and rocks yield “No item in foliage” (oil blisters in the Southern Forest, rocks in the Dune Desert and caves).
- Biomass chain: Leaves / Wood / Mycelia / Alien Protein → [Biomass](/wiki/items/biomass) (Constructor) → [Solid Biofuel](/wiki/items/solid-biofuel) (Constructor, Tier 2) → [Liquid Biofuel](/wiki/items/liquid-biofuel) (Refinery). Biomass only matters for Biomass Burners at the start.

## Spore Flower

A stationary, gas-producing plant creature (736 on the map, groups of up to 15) around collectibles; only removable with explosives – see [Spore Flower](/wiki/creatures/spore-flower) and [Hazards](/wiki/world/hazards#poison-gas).

## Renewability

| Resource | Limited (flora / environment / deposit) | Unlimited (node / environment / Lizard Doggo) |
|---|---|---|
| Ores, Coal, Sulfur, Raw Quartz, SAM, Uranium, Bauxite, Caterium | deposits (hand mining, finite) | nodes (Miner) + Doggo |
| Limestone | flora (rocks) + deposits | nodes + Doggo |
| Silica | flora (quartz plants) | – (recipes only) |
| Crude Oil, Water, Nitrogen Gas | – | nodes / wells |
| Leaves, Wood, Mycelia | flora (finite but practically inexhaustible) | Doggo |
| Beryl Nut, Paleberry | – | regrowing + Doggo |
| Bacon Agaric | environment (finite) | Doggo |
| Alien Remains | – | creatures (respawn) + Doggo |
| Power Slugs | environment (finite) | Doggo (rare) |
| Hard Drive, Somersloop, Mercer Sphere | environment (**not renewable**; Hard Drives in the shop from Tier 8) | – |
