Eating berries raw gives the same +5 calories and +2 hydration regardless of colour — there are no colour-specific raw buffs. Save them for teas unless you desperately need food.
Black berries exist in the game files but are not currently used for any tea recipe and have no special effect. They give the same +5 calories / +2 hydration as all other berries if eaten.
How to brew
01
Get a mixing table
Buy one at Bandit Camp food shop for 175 scrap, or research for 75 scrap then craft with 200 metal frags + 100 stone at a level 1 workbench.
02
Brew basic tea
Place 4 berries in the correct colour order into the mixing table. Order matters — the Start Mixing button turns green when the recipe is correct.
// 4 berries → 1 basic tea
03
Upgrade to advanced
Place 4 basic teas of the same type into the mixing table to produce 1 advanced tea with a stronger effect.
// 4 basic = 16 berries total
04
Upgrade to pure
Place 4 advanced teas of the same type to produce 1 pure tea — the strongest tier. Recipe order still matters at every step.

Scrap tea noteOnly affects barrels, not recycling or crates
What's worth farming
❤️
Pure Healing Tea
+60 instant health. The best combat item in the game per inventory slot — better than a medical syringe and much faster to use. Stack multiple for massive burst healing mid-fight. Requires 4× red berries per basic.
// stackable — carry 10+ into every raid
💪
Pure Max Health Tea
+20% max health — takes you from 100 to 120 HP. Gives a significant advantage in any fight. Duration is only 5 minutes so time it before engagements. Uses 3× red + 1× yellow per basic.
// pop before pushing a base or a fight
⛏️
Pure Ore Tea
+50% ore yield for 30 minutes. Combined with a Jackhammer this makes ore runs extremely efficient — you'll fill an inventory from far fewer nodes. Uses yellow + blue berries.
// pairs with jackhammer for fast ore
🔩
Pure Scrap Tea
+200% scrap from barrels for 30 minutes. Massive early-wipe advantage for rushing the tech tree and buying BPs. Does not affect recycling — only barrel loot.
// best early wipe investment
☢️
Advanced Anti-Rad Tea
+15% rad resist + 50% exposure resist. Lets you run Dome, Airfield and similar monuments without a full hazmat suit, freeing up armour slots for combat gear. Uses red + green berries.
// essential for monument runs in light kit
🪵
Pure Wood Tea
+100% wood yield for 30 minutes. Doubles your wood output — great for early base building or farming wood for large raids. Uses red + blue berries which are also the most farmable colours.
// triples wood — great for base rushes
🔥
Pure Warming Tea
+15°C temperature for 60 minutes with a minimum floor of 0°C. Essential if you live in the snow biome — lets you wear a full metal kit without freezing, much better for PvP.
// snow biome must-have — 60 min of warmth
❄️
Pure Cooling Tea
−30°C temperature for 60 minutes with a max cap of 20°C. Best for desert biome players taking heat damage during midday runs. Less critical than warming tea but very useful if you're based in or roaming the desert.
// desert biome roaming — prevents heat damage
