Cocoa tree 1079 minutes growth?!

[VYM]

Uh, huh...*cough*...dear devs...
Do you even understand that it's 18 hours or not? So if I'm playing 2-3 hours a day it mean I must way for crops for a week.
How can people play it on normal or even easy difficulty? There is simply no choice except tune all sliders to x5 and x10.

Its not REAL minutes it's in game minutes.......

You can adjust grow speed in the settings. It will adjust it for all your crops.

so its real minutes... you do realize that most stuff ingame is 1:1 outgame do you?

Also well, this is an MMO of sorts, like ARK they need to make things LONG AF.

I will LOVE the addition of sliders and options, especiel on the chars skill limit ♥♥♥♥..

There are. Before logging in to your world click advanced settings on the right side.

Plant growth shows real-time minutes, not in-game

honestly, i wouldn't even mind the 27 hours of real time it took to grow those dumb trees if you'd at least get a decent amount of harvest out of them, but a field with 9 trees just netted me 14 cocoa fruits with a char that has 92 plant skill and is fully trimmed on maximum output and afterwards it's taking 18 hours each consecutive harvest, so basically a field of 9 trees will yield like 1 fruiot per RL hour? that's just fu**ed up...

This is a common problem in all survival craft games built around dedicated servers. Slider tweaking is 100% necessary. Atleast these devs were smart enough to include sliders at launch, and they cover damn near every single setting in the game

problem is, the regular crops are just fine, the guava and papaya seem fine as well, just the cocoa trees are completely fu**ed up and in turn the slider would break more than it would fix...

build more farms, raid known cacao fields near NPC camps (they respawn every 1-2 ingame days). And why do u need so much cocoa anyway?

umm buddy, i just prefer to be independent when it comes to crops, especially since so far all NPC fields i came across only had a mix of cotton, chili, tomatoes and potatoes...
and more fields? yea right, wasting a crapton of fertilizer on a handful of cocoa every 18-27 hours? get real, there is some sort of balancing required and that's why i raised my voice...

as for what i need that much for, well, have you checked out the recipes that require cocoa and how much they actually need if you want to sustain the buffs for a while?

the only useful buff that needs Cocoa i was using before i got chill mod3 was "Hot Cocoa" - thats a +10 chill resist for 20min, but i was lazy to craft iron/steel winter set, so thats on me...

some math:
Hot Cocoa needs: 2x Cocoa Powder
u get 2x Cocoa Powder from 1x Cocoa fruit, u get 4x if u have ~80 perception on your Alchemist
u get 1x Hot Cocoa from 2x Cocoa powder, ~80 preception gives u 2x
so in theory u can get 4x Hot Cocoa from 1x Cocoa Fruit. 14x cocoa fruits will yeld u ~56 "Hot Cocoa". two fields growing cocoa will get u to ~100 everyday...
its all about scaling... and Ash Fertilizer is super easy to get...

For me personally -> more annoying thing from planting is u dont get some seeds from harvesting, like Corn or Tomato, and if u dont pay attention to planting much, u get empty fields...

so with slider effect farm growth speed ?
