Black Eyed Beans are a type of Crop which can be grown in Atomicrops.

Obtaining[ | ]

Black Eyed Beans are grown from the second level of Seeds Desert2 SmallDesert Seeds.

The player starts the game with their Desert Seeds growing into Prickly Pears, but once enough Desert Seeds have been sown and harvested, the player's Desert seeds will evolve into Black Eyed Beans. Once a certain number of Black Eyed Beans are grown and harvested (approximately 6 fully fertilized Megacrops), all Desert Seeds will instead grow into Grapes, and Black Eyed Beans will be unavailable for the remainder of the player's run. This includes Black Eyed Beans yet to be harvested when the seeds are upgraded, as they will automatically change into Grapes.

Finding Desert Seeds[ | ]

Desert Seeds can be found in the first Desert area, most commonly from clearing Squirrel and Bulb Camps. They are also sometimes dropped by defeated Enemies. This chance is increased if the player has the FlyingSquirrel Flying Squirrels weapon or SquirrelPackSquirrel Pocket upgrade.

When killed, BeesonAnimationBeeson drop seeds from a random Biome, regardless of location. Cutting Weeds on the farm may also drop random seeds, which are commonly Desert Seeds.
See the Related Items section of this page for other sources.

Alternatively, Desert Seeds can be purchased at the Garden Shop in Spring and Fall. These cost 30Cashew in Spring and 70Cashew in Fall, and give the player 4-10 Desert Seeds immediately on purchase.

If the player has the OvenTerrarium Oven Terrarium then Desert Seeds will be unavailable, and these sources will instead drop random seeds from another Biome.

If the player is playing as Oregacrow Oregacrow, then Desert Seeds and Black Eyed Beans are unavailable.

Growing Black Eyed Beans[ | ]

Fertilization and Megacrop Variant[ | ]

Black Eyed Beans require 3Fertilizer Fertilizer to be fully fertilized. Creating a Megacrop (from 4 Black Eyed Bean crops planted in a 2x2 formation) therefore requires 12Fertilizer.

A mega Black Eyed Bean requires a further 6Fertilizer to become fully fertilized itself.

Watering[ | ]

To fully grow, small Black Eyed Beans need 0 WaterIcon units of water, and a freshly merged Mega Black Eyed Bean needs 1 WaterIcon unit of water. Since the smaller version of the Crop does not need water to grow it may be preferable to grow four smaller versions before fertilizing and merging them, in order to avoid the 1 water required for the larger version.

Propagators and Garden Beds[ | ]

Leveling up crops or rescuing Wormsy from special Camps will reward the player with special upgrades that change how crops can be sown and grow. Each of the four common crop types can be upgraded to use either Propagators or Garden Beds.
