The wasteland of 7 Days to Die is a difficult place to live, where survival depends entirely on your gear and what you eat. If you are serious about survival and want to continue to thrive, you must find the absolute best food and drinks to power your character.

For years, the greatest secret for consistent survival has been Super Corn. This amazing plant is the key material for some of the best drinks and food in the entire game, giving you the energy and healing you need to defeat hordes of zombies.

Finding this rare corn is hard because it does not spawn like normal crops; it is hidden in specific locations. This guide will show you exactly where to search for the Super Corn plants and how to use them to craft the strongest items in the game.

What Is Super Corn Used For In 7 Days To Die?

Super Corn is not just a nice food item; it is a core material for some of the strongest consumables in the game. It is the essential material for creating valuable drinks and medical items, and it completely changes your approach to survival.

The two most important cooking recipes that require Super Corn are Grandpa's Moonshine and Grandpa's Awesome Sauce.

  • Grandpa's Moonshine: This is one of the best drinks in the game. Moonshine gives you a massive bonus to your stamina, allowing you to run, fight, and mine for much longer periods without tiring. It is key for speed farming or escaping danger.

  • Grandpa's Awesome Sauce: This medical item is powerful. The Awesome Sauce is used to treat major injuries, heal a huge amount of health instantly, and clear certain negative status effects.

  • Glue: Another important use for Super Corn is making Glue. Glue is an essential material for repairing your items and tools, and you can craft plenty of glue using corn in the campfire.

By getting a steady supply of Super Corn, you are essentially gaining the ability to craft unlimited stamina and strong healing items. This is an op material that dramatically enhances your survival chances in 7 Days to Die.

Getting Super Corn

The process of getting Super Corn is different from getting other crops. You cannot just plant a normal corn seed and expect it to grow into super corn plants. You must find the original Super Corn plant first, which is hidden in special locations across the map. Once you find the plant, you can harvest the super corn seed to start your own farming operation.

Find A Carl's Corn Location

The most reliable way to find super corn is to search for a specific POI (Point of Interest) known as Carl's Corn. This POI is based on an old-school farming house with a large corn field out front.

  • Location in Navezgane Map: If you are playing on the static Navezgane map, you can locate Carl's Corn in the farmland area, often near the edges of the forest biome.

  • Random Gen Maps: On randomly generated maps, you must search for a farming POI that has the Carl's Corn description or a similar farming house design. You might need to explore plenty of houses to find it.

  • Trader Quests: Sometimes a trader will offer a Tier 1 or 2 quest that leads you to Carl's Corn. This is the easiest way to find the location without a map wiki.

Once you find the correct house, the real Super Corn is not in the field outside. The secret is hidden inside.

The Secret Location:

The rare Super Corn plants are found in the basement of the Carl's Corn house.

  1. Enter the Carl's Corn house through the front door.

  2. Search for the stairs that lead down to the basement. The basement is usually located under the kitchen area.

  3. Inside the basement, you will usually find a small room acting as a grow room or greenhouse.

  4. Inside this secure room, you will find the highly valuable Super Corn plants growing in rows.

Important Note: The basement often contains other useful items like food containers, blueberries, and possibly a small chest. Remember to loot everything inside the house and basement.

Optional: Have The "Living Off The Land" Skill

While you can harvest Super Corn without any skills, having points in the "Living Off The Land" skill will enhance your farming results.

  • Increased Harvest: This farming skill allows you to harvest more corn per plant. This means you get more Super Corn ears from one plant than a player without the skill.

  • Required for Seeds: The seed recipe for Super Corn is unlocked through this skill. You need points in this skill to create your own super corn seed.

  • Collect Other Crops: This skill is useful for all crops, like potatoes, blueberries, and normal corn, making your farming operation very efficient.

It is highly recommended to invest at least a few points in the "Living Off The Land" skill tree as soon as you find super corn, so you can cultivate it easily.

Harvesting and Getting the Super Corn Seed

Once you find the Super Corn plants in the basement, you must harvest them correctly.

  1. Harvest the Plant: Simply interact with the Super Corn plants to harvest the corn ears. Each plant will drop several super corn ears.

  2. Get the Seed: The first time you harvest Super Corn, you might get a Super Corn seed right away. If you do not, you will need to open your crafting menu.

  3. Craft the Super Corn Seed: If you have the seed recipe unlocked (Living Off The Land skill), you can craft one super corn seed from two super corn ears.

After you get the super corn seed, you can start your own Super Corn farming operation in your greenhouse or base basement.

How To Use Super Corn In 7 Days To Die

Once you have secured a reliable supply of Super Corn, you can start using it to craft the high-tier food and drinks that give you a massive advantage in 7 Days to Die.

Level Up Your Cooking Skill

To make the best items, like Grandpa's Awesome Sauce and Grandpa's Moonshine, you must have a high level in the Cooking skill.

  • Unlock Recipes: Many advanced cooking recipes are locked behind this skill tree. You required a high skill level to craft powerful items.

  • Use the Campfire: All cooking is done at the campfire or the chemistry station. Make sure you have the tools required, such as a cooking pot.

If you are just starting, you can level up your Cooking skill easily by making simple items like boiled meat or blueberries.

Finally, Grandpa's Moonshine is one of the most useful drinks in the entire game, giving you 100% Stun Resistance and increasing your melee damage by a whopping 400%! This makes you almost unstoppable for a short time against massive hordes of zombies, even a tough zombie like Grace.
