How to Get BloomBerry in Probably Stolen
BloomBerry can be obtained through trading or produced with your own Hydroponic System. If you're looking to acquire the fruit without growing it, there are two Lower Levels traders associated with selling BloomBerry:
- Hydroponic Farmer
- Retired Winemaker
Both are potential sources of the fruit itself. However, if you want to establish a regular supply rather than purchasing individual berries, growing them through the Hydroponic System is the more direct production method.
How to Grow BloomBerry in Probably Stolen
BloomBerry is produced using a Bloomberry Seed in the Hydroponic System. Each seed yields six BloomBerries, allowing you to collect multiple fruits from a single production batch.
The basic production requirement is:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Machine | Hydroponic System |
| Ingredient | 1 Bloomberry Seed |
| Output | 6 BloomBerries |
| Base Value per Berry | 14 Credits |
At the listed value of 14 Credits each, six BloomBerries represent 84 Credits in total base item value. That isn't necessarily your profit, since it doesn't account for obtaining seeds, running equipment, or the prices negotiated with buyers.
The six-berry output is useful when planning how much stock to produce. Rather than treating each fruit as an individual purchase, you can plan inventory around the amount generated by each seed.
What Is BloomBerry Used for in Probably Stolen?
BloomBerry has two main commercial uses. You can sell the fruit directly as food or keep it as an ingredient for BloomBerry Wine.
Selling BloomBerry to Customers
BloomBerry is a legal food item, making it suitable for ordinary food trading. It has a base value of 14 Credits, provides 150 kcal, and occupies a 2x2 area in your inventory.
Several customer types buy food, including:
- Spacers and Hungry Spacers
- Lower Level and Upper Level Citizens
- Tourists and Foodie Tourists
- Food Buyers and Food Bank Suppliers
- Security Requisition Officers
- Spacer Cooks and Upper Level Private Chefs
- Expedition Suppliers
Merchants and Trade Board Officials can also buy BloomBerry through their broader purchasing categories.
The variety of eligible customers makes BloomBerry a flexible product to keep in stock. You're not restricted to finding one particular buyer to sell your harvest.
Making BloomBerry Wine
BloomBerry is also an ingredient used to produce BloomBerry Wine. This gives the fruit a purpose beyond direct food sales and makes it relevant to businesses pursuing wine production.
Instead of automatically selling every berry you harvest, you can reserve some for wine production. The best use depends on whether you want immediate Credits from food sales or intend to process the berries into another product.
Is BloomBerry Worth Growing in Probably Stolen?
BloomBerry is worth considering if you're already using the Hydroponic System and want a crop that can serve multiple purposes. Its six-berry yield provides a predictable amount of output, while its food classification gives you access to several customer groups.
However, the 84-Credit base value of a full harvest shouldn't be confused with guaranteed earnings. The actual financial benefit depends on production costs and how much you receive when selling the berries.
I'd approach BloomBerry differently depending on your business:
- For a food-focused shop, selling the berries directly provides a straightforward way to move harvested stock.
- For a wine-focused shop, keeping BloomBerry available as a production ingredient may be more useful than selling every harvest immediately.
BloomBerry's biggest advantage is that you aren't committed to a single use. You can grow it for regular food sales while reserving part of your harvest for BloomBerry Wine, allowing the same crop to support different parts of your business.
