Cabbage

Cabbage is a raw food item found in Forest Caves and Snow Caves. It can also be grown by planting Cabbage Seeds on Farmland, making it both a gatherable cave food and a basic farm crop.

It can be eaten directly or used as an ingredient in cooking. When consumed by the player, it grants +0.25 Health Regen for 4 minutes. Cabbage also has a use for settlement management: when consumed by NPCs, it gives +10% Happiness. Its spoilage time is 8 hours, so it can be stored for a short time before it rots.

• Best used early as a simple food source, especially if you are exploring caves or do not yet have a strong farming setup.
• Since it is both edible and a cooking ingredient, it is useful to keep a small supply on hand rather than eating or selling all of it immediately.
• The NPC happiness bonus makes it more valuable than a basic filler crop when managing settlers.
• Because it spoils fairly quickly, it is worth processing, using, or cooking with cabbage before stockpiling it for too long.
