Never enough Wild Herbs and Aromatic Plants ??

[Rallianto]

These only spawn a few places on the map, not every day, and you never have enough of these. Can they only be obtained by foraging? (Not planted?)

I feel like every dish receipe need something like Wild Herbs that is not easily obtainable. You know some good dishes that doesn't require foraging or depending on random stock?

Yeah, it's been a bottleneck for a while. Don't worry, someone will be along soon enough to tell you that you are playing wrong.

The various soups sell pretty well and have a bit of overlap on the base ingredients. I usually have them all in stock. Turnips, beetroot and cauliflower are easy enough to grow, and bases of pumpkin broth and lamb broth maximize your profits from the recipes that need them.

Okay it's not just me! I don't mind I have to do foraging for certain things, but then they should also be available on the map in somewhat rich amount.

Thanks for the tip on soups/broth. I knew about pumpkin, gonna try the others you mention

There's a skill that gives a chance to pick an extra herb, you can get it pretty early

Yeah I saw that an unlocked it right away. But now that I got a medium size travern going with about 50 guests, that 3-5 herbs you can find every 3rd day is not where near enough....

[brian_va]

No it is not...

[Doc Savage]

3 to 5..?

I need more herbage for that to work. Forget the game....

Cheers..!

Also feel a lack of wild herbs!

I am oh so thankful I had a huge stock of all sorts of herbs before the update that added the aromatic plants/wild herbs and removed other herbs. It's just insane they have not yet added a single reliable way to obtain them. Even with the new perks if you're lucky to get extra drops you MAYBE get what 5-8 aromatic plants a day and that is if you spend half the game day running around the entire map to forage. And it feels like almost everything requires them in some way if not directly then some other ingredient that's made with them like mustard.
Just a terrible oversight from devs.

This. I had a big stock of all the herbs and glad I did because I wasn't getting enough from picking in the wild. I don't get why the devs did that, bad move.

Agreed! I've mostly enjoyed the changes since I first got the game in May last year, but this change is one of a few that I just don't understand and don't like.

Too many things require herbs and there's not enough of them that spawn daily. I'm lucky to have a stockpile of them, too, from when we could grow them.

If we can't grow them anymore for whatever reason, then either increase the spawns, or maybe Bob should sell an extra handful of them - as well as the seasonal mushrooms and berries - as things he 'forages.' There needs to be more of them obtainable in the game somehow

I usually find around 5-10 per day... I think the problem is that not just the big visible bushes spawn, but also small patches that are indistinguishable from the decorative plants on the maps.
We're playing observation duty with finding herbs (and mushrooms)

Devs, please add a slight glimmer/glow to everything that can be picked up.

Came back after about a year and the changes just feel so grindy? I'm spending a lot more time collecting resources like the forageables or fuel rather than play around with recipes. I miss my lemon honey tea :(

[Doc Savage]

I'm still voting for Bob to sell them.

Cheers..!
