Problem with auto harvest and auto collector

[andromedaak]

I have noticed that some items in the game do not work as they should.

I am talking about auto harvest/auto SFH or auto collector.

I have level 10 of farming, and in this skill I have a chance to increase the chance of better crops. In the laboratory I bought a seed upgrade at the osmium level. Additionally, I give fertilizer 2 to each crop, or fertilizer 3 to "better" crops (in my opinion).
It is similar with ranching.

When I have auto harvest installed on splinklers, or auto collector in pens with animals, do they not collect the best products, but all of them, from the weakest to the best?
I have the best skills, upgrades, fertilizer, animals with 10 hearts, and the above devices collect the weakest resources? Something is wrong here. For example, the autocollector collects small chicken eggs or small milk, where I have had chickens or cows with 10 hearts for a long time.

When I collect everything "manually" it's OK, I only have gold and osmium products, of course there will be some silver or bronze, but it's completely different when I use automation. It's clear that the mechanics of these devices don't work as they should, and they "don't see" what improvements the main character has in the form of better quality raw materials.

In addition, I noticed that when collecting manually I have more Masteries points than when collecting automatically.

Please fix this.

"In addition, I noticed that when collecting manually I have more Masteries points than when collecting automatically."

If you are using Auto- anything in the farm, it'll make things easier but you are effing yourself in the a** when it comes to mastery points.

In my first rum I used the auto-watering thing because I hated the stamina loss from watering my crops, later I noticed my farming level was at least 2-3 lower than anything else because I was not actively watering my stuff.

So, if I have all the auto-harvest stuff for animals, I wil lnot get any farming points anymore?

I'd recommend not getting the auto petter, harvester, or feeder until you reach level 10 ranching because otherwise it will significantly decrease your XP results. I learned that the hard way the first time I played and constantly wondered over the course of a season why it wasn't going up. Got rid of the automatic machines, and it started going up again.

Oversimplified: If you don't spend Stamina for it, you ain't getting EXP for it.

You need to use the Automatic Machinery slightly more strategically than you would think for a game like this. For example sprinklers are great at keeping your crops wet when you don't want to waste time/stamina watering them but they also rob your farming mastery points everyday. Use them when you have other things to do but if you lean on them too much it'll hurt you on the long run

All of the perks you take, and the enchantments on your tools ONLY matter if you are doing things by hand. Just like using explosives in the mines won't trigger rock domino or care about your rare drop enchantments.

They do work exactly as they should, there's nothing to fix.
