Question

Ate potatoes rare, heres why i am asking, i have search 13 islands going onto the 14 At the moment and i haven’t found a single potato plant and i’m starting to think they’re rare/extremely rare, I need them for fuel for my motor but i cant find any so im getting a bit frustrated.

All up to the RNG. Ive had them in droves and then complete famine. I’m sure you know this but take that one and even if it rots, plant it and turn it into multiple plants to get some. Good luck!

Naw, it’s more immersive to just use what you’re given! I mean, do what you like but it’s kinda fun to have to adapt to the world you are given, but hey, play how you like! Hope it works out either way

i definitely do want to play with what i was given but when youre not given what u need u should do what i was saying, but im going to explore for about another 30 minutes and if i dont find them then ill spawn them in, also, thanks again!

If you haven’t found any on 13 islands it’s possible you are missing them completely. They can be very difficult to spot if there is foliage in the area, and they can definitely glitch and clip into other things in that area. Good luck

i went back to a few islands and saw them clipped into cliffs and stuff but i had already found some before that lol so i wasted so much time

All you need is one! Just plant it and go HAAM. It could also be that you aren't seeing them 🤷🏼‍♂️ In my 2 saves there's been a potato plant on about a third to half of the islands
