Biodiversity: Crops is a Vintage Story mod by captanredbeard, WhiskeySunshine, The_Last_Thing and FuegoFish. Biodiversity: Crops adds new farmable plants, including nutrient-supporting cover crops and multi-block crops, while keeping familiar Vintage Story farming.
Why this mod is worth installing
Choose this mod if you want more meaningful crop rotation, extra animal fodder, and additional ingredients without replacing the core farming rules. It requires Biodiversity: Core.
What Biodiversity: Crops adds
The mod expands farmland with extra edible crops that can be used through familiar vanilla cooking. It is designed as a Vanilla+ addition, so the basic behavior of farmland remains recognizable rather than being replaced by a new farming system.
Cover crops add a practical reason to vary what you plant. Alfalfa fixes nitrogen and works as animal fodder, buckwheat scavenges phosphorus and can be cooked, while daikon-style driller radishes help recover potassium and are useful for both food and feed.
Some additions use multi-block growth, with long vines leading to larger fruiting bodies. This gives fields a more varied appearance and creates crops that occupy more space as they mature.
Biodiversity: Crops is part of a broader plant expansion and depends on Biodiversity: Core. It can be used alongside Expanded Foods, although these crops currently rely on vanilla cooking rather than dedicated Expanded Foods recipes.
