Wheat Seed — Detailed Guide
Starting a wheat crop
Wheat Seed belongs to the Primitive+ DLC for ARK: Survival Evolved. Survivors can put it in the ground to raise wheat, or simply eat it. The game's text: "Eat it to gain a tiny amount of nourishment, or plant it to grow your own wheat crop. Can be planted in Medium or Large Crop Plots."
Finding and planting seeds
Seeds turn up now and then when foraging plants, and farming wheat plants also produces them. Sown in a Crop Plot, they grow into Wheat plants that give Fresh Wheat along with further seeds.
Notes from the ARK Wiki
- Creatures that pick up these seeds would rather eat them than berries, so the wiki suggests taking the seeds out of a creature's inventory soon after it gathers them.
- The wiki describes wheat as a very slow grower that seems to use double the fertilizer before producing Fresh Wheat. For anyone planning a lot of cooking, the wiki recommends many Wheat Crop Plots and a good supply of Bonemeal Fertilizer.
Weight and stack size
The wiki gives each seed a weight of 0.01, and our records list a stack size of 100.
