Nut Orchards technicality

[jakhollin]

I was paying a little closer attention to this recently and have noticed my stock of nut trees is slowing in production. It's driving me nuts.

Because the growth rate is so slow on nuts we usually resort to chopping our trees and replanting based off of the cuttings that we used to have. Now we have to plant the nuts. The problem with this is that the regrowth rate of a nut on a tree is too low to replant from the stock. So growing multiple pine trees results in only 1 nut gained from each harvest and worse yet 0 walnuts if replanting is occurring frequently. I think the amount of nuts harvested should be either increased or the rate of the nuts growing on trees be tweaked to increase some. At this point it is impossible to produce large amounts of walnuts. Not sure if this was intended but it seems to me like it throws a kink in some of the nut based foods.

Walnut production is terribad.. JC pls.

1 nut per harvest is pretty bad.. and entire tree, your character is highley skilled in foraging by the time you get Nut Orchards skill, and he only finds 1 nut on that whole tree? 0.o

2 nuts from a pine tree is pretty whimsical, right.

This all implies a lot of unnecessary grind.
You need to have a huge plantation of pine / walnut trees to make it useful.
Whereas if you increase your %, you need to cut down and replant all that.
This still does not hinder you in any way to increase the general % of your pine trees that is only limited by your humus, so this is not a reason for this.
Much work really, for a few nuts.

Also, the 2 new berry bushes are a good step backwards, especially the yield of 2 crowberrys from such a bush is a bad joke.
From being able to produce literarily any amount of crow/huckleberrys that I would need in 2 days and that would have my best %, it went down... far, very far.

i don't think the bushes are that bad (but I don't use too many) - you can harvest them like every day, and you don't need to do any input to them (no humus/water/effort), so I'd say they balance out decently.
Walnut trees are definitely an issue, though.

bushes were nerfed to be in line with the tree regen rate. While their yield is slightly better, regen times are now abysmally long.

ah. right. Woops.
I was talking about berry bushes, though.

You're referring to Acorn bushes, right? Berry bushes still have their normal regen times. 8 or 12 hours or whatever it is. Ive never explicitly timed it.

[jakhollin]

I do not have an issue with the berry bushes really. There is still enough to harvest from them. But at the current rate now a person has to harvest and plant their walnut trees over and over again until they get a ton of trees and then wait for them to regrow a single nut just to utilize walnut trees.

A new player who just gets nut orchards buying a walnut or even using one they saved from the tutorial will have to plant a tree every 7 days for 70 days to get 10 walnut trees. Then wait an undetermined time on each tree to possibly get any product from them.

Sounds like there might be a market at the stalls for some of these products.....

They can still get them out of Squirrel Stashs.
