Nutrients are a feature exclusive to Don't Starve Together and introduced in Return of Them. Nutrients are present in the ground of Farm Soil. They are important components in the growth of Farm Plants. There are 3 types of nutrients: Growth Formula, Compost and Manure.

The amount of each nutrient in the soil can be inferred from the presence of small brown particles on the farm soil. A Premier Gardeneer Hat can be used to color the particles and make them easier to see. The number of particles changes at 0, 1, 25, 50 and 100 nutrient points.

Cycle

Each tile can contain up to 100 points of each nutrient. The initial value is random, between 20 to 40 points for each nutrient.

Farm plants consume one type of nutrient and produces the other two in return (cf. Farm Plant). The cycle conserves the total amount of nutrient but the relative quantities of each nutrient will change depending on the consumption or production.

Weeds consume nutrients when growing but they do not produce nutrients in return (cf. Weeds). They decrease the total amount of nutrients.

Fertilizer

Fertilizer can be used to increase the amount of nutrients in the ground. One farm tile can hold up to 100 units of nutrients (or 12.5 "arrows").
