Balancing and Recipes Needed

[Unspeakable Chasm]

With the addition of wormwood I found it cool that he could plant the seeds anywhere. What I thought to myself was that this would open up so many cooking opportunities... and it did.

Kinda.

From the crops you can make the recipes you can make with those newly accessible crops are just mediocre. 

Eggplant has one unique recipe in Stuffed Eggplant.

Corn has two unique recipe in Powdercake and Fish Tacos

Dragon fruit has Dragon Pie

Pumpkin has Pumpkin Cookie

Watermelon has Melonsicle and Fashion Melon

Durian has Monster tartare

Pomegranate doesn’t even have a unique recipe.

Keeping in mind that some plants have uses in crafting as well such as the Scarecrown, I have come up with a list of things including rebalanced and new recipes and craftables that would make growing crops more useful than they currently are. 

Stuffed Eggplant -  3 Health 62.5 Hunger 20 Sanity  

After cropping, seeding, and recropping I realized I had 11 of them altogether. These would be a need food source in the caves as they don’t agro bunnymen and considering the chances of harvesting them is so small from random seeds I think it is a good balance.

Pumpkin Cookie - 0 health 25 Hunger 25 Sanity

Pumpkins are nice and you can grow quite a few of them. Right now they are eaten cooked for their large hunger restore and slight health restore. Seeing that cookies aren’t exactly a hardy meal, I increased the sanity gained from eating a delicious cookie and lowered the hunger. Spoils in 25 days [\spoiler]

Fish Tacos - requirements: Fish, Corn Flour, 2 filler 40 Health 37.5 Hunger 15 Sanity

Using the new ingredient flour, tacos have become harder to make. These will dethrone the fish sticks as a they will get a nerf as a great healing method considering you put more effort into making these.[\spoiler]

Dragon pie get a boost to its health offering 50 health 75 Hunger and 5 sanity with  new crafting requirements. 1 Dragon fruit 1 flour 2 filler 

Melonsicle is fine as is.

New Structure: Grinder

This will grind up your crops and foods producing new items: 

Corn - Flour

These ingredients are some of what we will use in the new recipes.

This little creature when planted acts as a seed only being able to be planted in a farm plot unless used by wormwood. Given enough time in the ground, the plant will have a 50% chance of spawning a Grass Gecko, a 30% chance of spawning a Saladmander and a 20% chance of spawning a Lureplant.
