96 Twigs in 5 min

[chaosonex]

Go to revelwood, there are small saplings, and kind of pole looking trees that both give twigs when cut down. Using a wisp of light and basically blind, I got 96 twigs in 5 min. I'm sure during the day you can do better.

Mining sucks

I think we are looking at like ~7 minutes to make ~500+ arrows.

I cannot understand why people keep saying arrows are time consuming in this game.

I think its because most people are using ALL their twigs on arrows aka 50x instead of crafting like iron bronze copper or scrap for 25 twig.

I don't bother with the high end arrows myself. Wood arrows and a 35 power bow can 4 shot most mobs if you spec right.

I would bet that feather farming sucks, but I never bother.

good bow, backstab, exploding arrows, suprise attack and crit chance = 1 shot almost everything with bow. Yes, even at level 30.

P.S. You must wear the right armor for that kinda damage.

Caution: You're going to be squish. Better get food if you want that kinda damage.

In games for those who don't know, typically the more damage you do, the more glass you are.

I totally agree and I love the glass cannon builds in this game. The dodging is fun and really lets you be creative.

How about banning people from the game, who complain about not being able to get ressources in amounts they dream of within playing the game for the first 5 minutes?
No matter you can place flame altars and teleport between different locations where you can farm twigs.

Once you have advanced to progression slightly, you can plant bushes your own and get as many twigs as you want easily. Never mind you get them also from self planted trees you will need anyway for producing coal.

Complaining about not getting enough twigs after being 5 minutes in the game? Wait till the mid to endgame of early access content when you need feathers for the better arrows.

so like, you realize by the time you really get to revelwood and have the spire unlocked you have the farmer, right?

And the time it takes to grow 100 trees, let alone plant them or process them on the planter table is far more time than it takes to spend 5 minutes in the dark cutting down trees.

Also, I presented an alternate way to get twigs, and said why I don't like the other presented method. Mining sucks isn't a well explained reason, but it is a reason.

On that note? Are you arguing with me over something I didn't say? Or expressing frustration over people talking about twigs?

I've just been running through the shroud picking up twigs that way, I thought I was getting a lot doing it that way but now I'm curious about how much I'm actually getting per minute.

I don't feel like this needs to be a my way vs. their way thing. Both are totally acceptable methods for farming twigs. I don't mean to just address you, but the person you are quoting as well.

Farming twigs is very quick, gathering in the woods is also quick. Farming likely produces slightly more per minute but gathering in the woods is going to get your other tangential ingredients as well. Possibly also XP and location mark unlocks.

Plant BUSHES, not trees! I said BUSHES. (sorry, it's probably called broadleaf tree if played in english).

You can mass produce those seedlings in the seedbed. Then plant them preferably on farm soil, they grow in like 5 minutes. Then you can just pick up them with E and don't need to chop them.

Both. Pointed out another, even easier and faster way and am annoyed by people complaining about twigs over and over in new posts instead of reading/commenting the old ones. There are like 3-4 new threads per day crying about twigs.

They are called "shrubs."

Broadleaf Trees are full on trees. They always produce:
12 logs + (6 logs OR 2 twigs) with rare chance of resin.
They take 16 mins to grow.
Must use axe.

They are are the ones that grow in 5 mins (very fast) and you can collect (E key) and don't have to cut down.

Shrubs produce 1 twig and 2-4 plant fiber (depending on whether or not you let them grow further (another 5 mins).


That being said, on the issue of twig farming...
--------------------

I've tried all 3 methods as a test since there seems to be a debate about it. For me, growing them was the fastest. Having to travel to a specific location to "farm" them takes time. It doesn't take very long to plant and harvest especially if spending time already at your base. Shrubs grow literally in 5 mins.

Thx for correction, and sorry for wrong naming, as said i don't play the game in english.

Me too. I have two fields in my base, one (depending on plant) can hold ~36 and the other field has ~60.
If i don't currently don't need anything else i always plant either shrubs or flax (because you need also a ton of the last on for the high level armor).

Kind of wish the farmer would.............do the farming?

My apologies, I meant bushes. They look like small trees to me.

I just checked, they do not take as long as I thought to process. (Too used to 5-10 minutes per recipe from later plants)

I still find putting down 100 to be far too tedious. Like I said' if I could just auto grid and pop them down, that'd be one thing.

Cool. But I wasn't complaining, nor crying about it. So yelling at me fails to resolve your problem.

Yep, it is still tedious, but currently the fastest/most efficient method.
Doing it this way you of course have to plant them, but then you have 100 in on place, don't even need to fast travel and then still need to run around till you find 100 wild bushes.

Sure auto plant and harvest complete fields would be nice. Would be even nicer if you could tell the farmer in which field he should plant and harvest what. :D

You are nerfing yourself big time.

But what does nerfing even mean here? I have plenty of special arrows for bosses from what I pick up from desert towns. If a random mob takes 3 vs. 4 shots or even 2 vs 4 what does it matter to me? 1-2 seconds more attention? Who cares.
