Planting / Farming berry bushes, mushrooms, etc.

According to the devs, planting & farming berries / mushrooms / thistles / etc. will not be added to Valheim.

They want players to go out into the world to find & discover new things, while experiencing the feeling of successful foraging through pickable wild resources.

This is a Megathread. Threads with similar topics will get merged with it.

bummer, being able to cultivate berries would be good for endgame content as it would let you focus on gathering the new materials instead of continuosly strolling through the first biomes. but it would definitly have to be impossible to do with the tech of the first few biomes and be endgame tech by itself

The end game foods don't use Raspberries or Blueberries, so...

This.

Foods for each tier are foraged from within that tier, almost exclusively. Or the one prior, where you use your stores from prior play. The only one I can think that a major ingredient is found outside of the tier that the food is from and for are the mushrooms used in wolf skewers.

Medium healing mead uses raspberries and tasty mead uses both, though.

Okay, good for you. They exist and other players do, in fact, use them.

It would take away from the need to forage and thus the associated risk involved with any trip outdoors.

There's no risk in foraging any type of non-plains berries once you have a solid set of bronze equipment. None whatsoever. This is a spurious argument, at best.

You don't as yet. Carrots, Turnips and Barley can be grown though. It's worth making beehives as well as crops, because the Honey is classed as a food as well as being used in a couple of recipes.

Cultivate Berries
They really should give us the ability to cultivate berry bushes. I hate having to wander around all over the place trying to find the ingredients I need. Would be much better if we could grow more crops ourselves.

There is a mod for that, if it really bothers you.

If you remember to forage whenever running around during your 'exploration' times you can typically keep pretty well stocked on them. Shrooms are the big one for me that I keep my eyes out for, Blueberries earlier in the game.

devs said it will never be implemented so maybe modding is your only option

I don’t think we have the ability to plant berry bushes yet.
