Farming and Usage
The Marblemelon is a farmable plant. A variation of this item is the Small Marblemelon, which only takes up one inventory slot.
Harvesting
- Interior Growbed: Marblemelons can be planted as whole plants in an Interior Growbed.
- Survival Knife: Striking the plant with a Survival Knife destroys the plant but yields four Marblemelon Seeds. All seeds are added to the player's inventory at once; if the inventory is full, surplus seeds are lost.
- Thermoblade Warning: Occasionally, using a Thermoblade may mistakenly yield Creepvine Samples instead of Marblemelon seeds due to a rare game bug.
Growth
Seeds take time to grow into adult plants after being planted. Due to the high amount of food, water, and energy it provides, the Marblemelon Plant is considered an all-around excellent plant to farm.
Trivia
- The game "forgets" the decay due to age of a Marblemelon if it is placed in an Interior Growbed and then picked, allowing the player to restore these plants to full freshness.
- Sometimes, the game may mistakenly give the player Creepvine Samples instead of Marblemelon seeds when the player uses the Thermoblade to attempt to harvest seeds. What causes this bug is unknown, and is exceedingly rare.
