Making the soil to replace the dead bush is a huge waste when you can just water it...

It takes 60 minutes to regrow berries on existing bushes when you water hence destroying it to speed up access to berries. It takes 5 mins to dry out and then 4 minutes to regrow from a seed. Essentially cutting the time needed to get more berries from 60 min/bush to 10 min/bush at the cost of additional soil which shouldn't be an issue because of increased berry production which increases soil production. Letting it dry out before digging also makes easy kindling which can be a good thing for places that have deforested the surrounding area. 

Only concern is that you will also consume water at a very quick rate so if there is a limited supply around your village then this is impractical.

Hey guys just looking for some information. I was messing around after my entire village starved I was out scouting and came back everything was dead anyway got bored figured out you could split a dug big rock using a chisel and a mallet (not on Wiki btw just checked) but after that it doesn't appear there is anything you can do with it.

I was just wondering what this leads to if anything I died before i could figure it out. Thanks!

A berry bush consumes one soil. Sustainable soil comes from compost, which consumes six berries, one carrot, one water, and one reed for three soil. Add the berry to seed, and you are paying 3 berries, 1/3 carrot, 1 1/3 water, and 1/3 reed for six berries. That's only a three berry profit, or 18 food, even ignoring the other costs.

Compare carrot patches. It costs one water and one seed for five carrots, providing 40 food. Carrots are vastly more efficient.


I disagree with your analysis here. Don't think of it as food . Berries aren't viable for that long term anyway. What they are good at is soil production and feeding sheep. Both things that I feel are currently bottle necked by current berry farming methods. So lets look at it this way.

Berry bush has a cost 1 water (regardless of replanted or regrown berries)

essentially is it worth it to sacrifice some of the soil produced to drastically increase the speed you are able to harvest berries?

Cost is 6 units of soil
Total yield is 15 units
So it is a net positive gain of either 9 extra soil or 9 small balls of yarn.

You know you can water berry bush after you collect berries so it does not die, right? Right? RIGHT!? Freaking trolls...

Btw: you don't need for the bush to go brown to water it. You can water it right after collecting, when its still green. Whe you mouse over the bush it "Langushing" (non-watered, dying) or "Vigorous" (watered, regrowing.
Vigorous domestic bush will regrow all berries at once in 60 minutes. Will not regrow ANY berries if there are still some on the bush. Which makes picking ANY berries from a bush an act of trolling as you need all 6 berries for compost. Picking even single one ruins the bush for over 60 minutes (you need to get rest of the berries and water it before it starts regrowing). If you see domestic bush with less than 6 berries - you can as well pick rest of them and eat or turn into seeds.
Which is different from wild bushes - wild ones always regrow - one berry every 10 minutes. Picking up a berry from a bush resets the times for next one to grow.

People like you who dont ask in game "HOW" and "WHY" and dont read recepies on their own. You people who take food, destroy others hard work and call it a progress. You people who run away from others speaking to you with adivec... You destroy communities. Makes me sick.

I'm aware that you can water them to make them regrow. What I'm asking is if it would be more time efficient to regrow the berries entirely rather than harvesting them once per life? It always seems like berries are the bottleneck in a good production chain.

So I have been wondering if we are doing berries wrong. I always see in settlements they have maybe 10 domestic berry bushes half of which are dead but honestly due to them being a major part of both composting and feeding sheep why not go all in on berries.

Why don't we cycle through berry bushes? They take so long to regrow berries naturally but if we let them die then use a shovel to clear them wouldn't that be significantly faster?


So for example:

1 Berry bush has 6 berries meaning it has 6 seeds. This one is sacrificed.

2 of those would be needed to make the compost to replace soil.

That Leaves 3 berry bushes for sheep and extra composting.

So it is scalable in rows of 6

(Seed) (Compost1) (Compost2) (Extra1) (Extra2) (Extra3)

The water usage isnt that bad either it takes 8 water for a full recycle of a row
(including compost).


Note: I'm not sure what the timeline is on a berry bush dying but its faster than regrowing I'm sure of that. Also I know noobs will steal berries constantly.
