One of the most basic sources of Nutrition in Palworld is Red Berries as you will tend to use this in both the earlier and later stages of the game.
Red Berries are a type of consumable that can be eaten by your character and may be fed to Pals to restore Nutrition.
While this food item is known to be consumable, it is also used as an ingredient when making certain dishes at a cooking station.
How To Get Red Berries?
1) Gathering From Bushes
Red Berries are obtained early by picking them from Red Berry Bushes, which are distinguished by a small bush full of berries.
Approaching this bush will allow you to collect the Red Berries when you interact with it, which will remove the bush.
Just like with other resources that respawn after time has passed, these bushes will appear in the same location, allowing you to return to gather more.
2) Berry Plantations
As you progress further into the game, you will be able to unlock the Berry Plantation structure, which allows you to grow your source of this consumable.
Berry Plantations will require that you have reached Level 5, which allows you to unlock them in your Technology Menu and build them later.
A Berry Plantation will need to be tended to, which involves planting, watering, and harvesting but these are things that your Pals can do. (Require Berry Seeds)
3) Placing Caprity Pal in a Ranch
Caprity is a Pal that is known for its ability to produce berries in a short amount of time and can be used as a replacement for berry plantations if you don’t have Pals to manage them.
Once Caprity has been placed in a Ranch, it will drop Red Berries continuously, which will provide you with an infinite amount.
Red Berries will be dropped on the ground, which makes it necessary to have a Pal with the Transporting Work Skill at your base to pick them up and store them.
4) Defeating Pals
Certain Pals that you encounter in the game tend to drop Red Berries and one of the earliest that you discover would be Cattiva.
Most of the Pals that drop Red Berries are Grass Pals but hunting them down is not the best way to get your hands on them.
Pals that drop Red Berries include Cattiva, Caprity, Lullu, Shroomer, and Quivern Botan but not all of these Pals are guaranteed to drop them.
Pals That Drop Red Berries
- Cattiva (1 100%)
- Caprity (2-4 100%)
- Lullu (1-2 60%)
- Quivern Botan (1-2 60%)
- Shroomer (1-2 60%)
How To Get Berry Seeds?
Red Berries are grown in Berry Plantations where you have planted Berry Seeds and if you have some to start with, you can have an endless supply.
You can get Berry Seeds by harvesting the Berry Bushes that you find in the wild as these have a good chance to give you its seeds whenever you interact with a bush.
Once your Pals have started to take over a Berry Plantation for you, this will generate unlimited Red Berries and Berry Seeds.
Red Berries Uses
Red Berries may be eaten by both your character and your Pals, which will restore 15 Nutrition per piece and since this consumable is abundant almost anywhere, it is good to keep in stock.
Additionally, Red Berries can be used as an ingredient to cook the following food items:
- Baked Berries
- Cake
- Jam-Filled Bun
- Chikipi Saute
- Eikthyrdeer Loco Moco
- Marinated Mushrooms
- Pizza
- Stewed Galeclaw
Verdict
Red Berries play an important part throughout the game as they offer a good amount of Nutrition to you and your Pals, making it good to bring them wherever you go.
Since you can have an unlimited supply of this consumable, you won’t have to worry about your Pals at your base going hungry once they continue to store them in a Feed Box.
Cake is one of the food items that requires a lot of Red Berries, but this is worth it later since you need Cakes for breeding Pals.
