A chilli is a renewable resource food item that can be planted or consumed. When consumed, it restores health and hunger to a blockhead, also increasing its body temperature by 10 °C, allowing a blockhead to stay warm in cold places. However, when a blockhead eats too many chillies, its health will decrease.

Appearance

A chilli will appear in-game resembling its real life counterpart. The chilli pepper is long and tapered with a red waxy skin. A green stem and calyx are attached at the pepper's shoulder.

Where Found

Chillies can be found growing on chilli plants in tropical regions.

Farming

Harvesting of chillies may be done by hand or by machete for maximum yield on a mature plant bearing the pepper, producing about three peppers and removing the plant.

If harvested just before maturing, it can still produce a full crop, but a young plant will produce only one pepper. A chilli plant will reach maturity in about two days. Once mature, the average life cycle is about one day before dropping a single pepper and reverting to its young stage. It will go through this cycle several times before completely de-spawning, producing a total of up to half a dozen peppers. One indicator of a mature chilli plant is a slight glow, mostly visible against darkness.

Agriculturally, the pepper can be placed in a block of dirt or compost to grow a chilli plant for farming additional chillies.
