How to get more acorn tree seeds reliably?


Recommended Posts

Hi ppl so i was wanting to expand my tree farms i only have like 12. I heard somewhere that pips are the only way to get seeds. Is that legit? I setuped a beautyfull forest but without seeds :p. Im ranching pips to release extra ones to harvest seeds and see if it works.

i'm not certain what the exact requirement is to get the pip to get acorns from the trees

I believe each tree can be foraged once for an additional acorn. To get more they need to be replanted.

See below.

Last time I checked, the chance of tree "growing" an acorn was 5% every time it grows a branch. Not instead - in addition. Doesn't happen if the tree has all branches.

If you want to speed up acorn spawning, prune branches. There's no way to automate this, though.

This means, there is a chance acorn just dropping, or we still need pips?

I can confirm that. Removing the branches with the digging tool makes pips rummage the trunk for a new acorn. I got 2 seeds from 8 arbors almost immediately.

You still need the stupid critter to rummage the tree. It can only rummage the trees that have an acorn, it won't try doing it to "empty" trees.
