Tree Jam should be cheaper and crafted with Compost instead of Glommer goop

[Pumking7]

With the improvements brought towards fig recipes in this beta, I hope that another factor for wanting to grow above-average tree trunks could be adjusted. Specifically the collection of Tree Jam. 

One of the issues of Tree Jam is its cost, for it requires one glommer's goop per one tree jam meaning that 4 glommers goop are required per above-average tree. Its not enjoyable to wait for glommer to produce more goop for it is just dependent on waiting and if you missed him the first full moon it would take even longer to collect more Tree Jam. This makes it difficult to grow several above average trees early as a gameplay option for food/wildfires. It doesn't help that glommers goop is used to make the extremely important hostile flares, which are much more useful in the first few years than Tree Jam.

This is why Tree Jam should use Compost instead of Glommers goop. This makes sense logically since Tree Jam has a very high compost value as fertilizer, and would fit in gameplay wise as players would collect the grass and twigs from the Knobbly tree biome to create more Tree Jam. This would allow the growth of Above-average Trees to be player driven and not built on waiting, and make more players consider using Compost Bins.

This would also allow for Boat Patches to be crafted on the open ocean instead of only being base locked, for Tree Jam acts as a boat patch. Since Figs and Compost can both be found or made on the ocean it allows more flexibility in how players can prepare to face ocean challenges.

Or one craft yields multiple jams could do the job.

I sorta like the novelty of revisiting the Waterlogged biome after collecting the Knobbly nuts to collect more figs for Tree Jam so its not one and done, so I can't just amass a lot of Tree Jam immediately mid/late-game when I have the goop. Then again I know everyone's Waterlogged biome can be super far from their base so I would love this change too!

Prime Mate will drop 1-2 Tree Jams, And Pirate Stash will drop 2-4 Tree Jams (30%).
And also, Don't forget Pirate Raids will happen FxxKING frequently.

They will happen frequently if you are close to the island but if you do ocean stuff far away the raids will come a lot less. Also the Pirate Captains will use their tree jam when repairing their boat, so unless you can kill/sink them rapidly without damaging their boat then the Tree jam usually doesn't drop.

If you used hostile flares to summon the pirates it usually doesn't make a net positive use of glommers goop for summoning them can take 2-3 flares while killing them may only give you less than 2-3.

Glommer will generate glommer goop passively as the days passes, you end up having enough for your needs, it is hard to imagine running out of glommer goop.

Also, if by any chance, you run out of glommer goop and need it immediately, you can get 2 glommer goop every day if you activate moonstorm event and kill glommer.
