Characteristics
Overview
Black Raspberries picked from berry bushes. Eating it provides a small boost to health, hunger, and thirst.
Eat them where you find them. The game's text promises a small boost to health, hunger and thirst, and no crafting recipe uses them, so carrying a stack home only fills a slot in your box.
The name trips people up. Black raspberries are not the black berry you grow for teas at the Mixing Table. They have no seed, nothing in the game asks for them, and the table will not take them. Think of them as the twin of blueberries: two snack berries with the same job.
Fresh spawn, no food, a long walk to your first base spot: a handful of these keeps the hunger bar off zero until you find something better. After that, almost anything cooked from the food list fills you up more, and the raspberries go back to being a thing you eat because it was in your pocket.
