Carrot (Crop)

Carrot (Crop) is a plant crop in Timberborn. It was introduced to the game at the Early Access Launch and remains part of the game’s crop roster. The crop has visually distinct varieties that correspond to different pigments: orange carrots and purple carrots. Orange carrots are a source of beta-carotene; beta-carotene is converted by animal bodies into vitamin A. Purple carrots contain pigments called anthocyanins, which act as antioxidants.

The in-game entity is presented as a crop species rather than a processed food item. The available historical notes record its introduction during the Early Access Launch and a later designation in Update 4 noted as "Now Folktail only." The phrasing from the update indicates a change tied to Update 4 and the Folktail label; the update note stands as recorded.

• Orange carrots contain beta-carotene, a precursor that the body converts into vitamin A.
• Purple carrots contain anthocyanins, pigments that function as antioxidants.
• Carrot (Crop) was introduced at the Early Access Launch.
• Update 4 carries the note "Now Folktail only."

Practical notes derived from the crop’s described pigments focus on nutritional qualities rather than gameplay mechanics. The distinction between orange and purple carrot varieties emphasizes different biochemical properties: beta-carotene’s role as a vitamin A precursor and anthocyanins’ antioxidant function. The historical entry points to continuity of the crop through the Early Access period and a documented change or classification associated with Update 4.
