Acorn Seeds

[Stevoe]

Anyone else having issues getting acorns from Oak trees? I have used an axe on the leaves and I have spec'd for efficiency too. Still no acorn seeds. When you also look in the gathering section and hover over acorns it states oddly that they are harvested from rice.

If anyone could confirm or help it would be appreciated.

Are you 100% chopping the leaves?

There are three parts you can hit on the tree, the main trunk, the branches at the top which are covered in leaves, then also the leaf 'blocks' themselves. If you are aiming at the later, all the leaves will get a bright green outline, usually you have to jump and swing or build up.

Edit: Yeah, lol, I thought the Rice thing was weird and I certainly never got Acorns that way, I presume it is there in error.

Hey ParadoxedHope thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I am doing as you say I am hitting the leaves and not the branchs everyone on my current server is having the same issue. Perhaps it is a server issue and not a bug. Will have to ask around.

I actually only harvested my first one today after reading about the leaf thing yesterday lol I presumed it was just a 'to be implemented' feature.

How old is the world out of interest? I think Acorns were the latest and third tree 'seed' to be added, just curious if perhaps it doesn't work with worlds/Oaks generated before the update that introduced them?

Edit: Can you get the Birch and Cedar seeds okay?#

Ediit: Have you tried having admin spawn in and plant a single acorn? Perhaps a new tree would yield it's nuts to you?

Same here. Hitting leaves yields 100% tree seeds. It would appear that some trees you can't do this with. :/

At the moment there are only 3 trees that do drop seeds; Oak, Cedar and Birch. I collected all three today.

Although Fir seeds currently show up in the skills section, the leaves appear to be untargatable still.

The seeds are random when you chop leaves down. I don't know what the percentage is but it's not very high as I sometimes have to de-leef several trees before finding a stash of seeds. The plus side though is if your gathering skill is good you can get around 10 seeds from one leef when you do find one. So unless you are hoping to replant an entire forest, you shouldn't need to find too many nodes.

It is a new map so that shouldnt be the issue and we can get all other seeds no issue.

Going to wait for the admin to get online and ask him to spawn one and we will see if we can get one from that.

The only difference I can think of is that we are on a 2km map (144x144) rather thatn 0.5km(72x72).

I'm on a 200 x 200 block map so I don't think that would be the source of your issue.

I had this issue the very same day they added the seed, The servers EcoSim.eco file in configs was not updated. I hade to delete the one in my client and do a verify integrity, it then reacquired a new version of the config - EcoSim.eco. Then i copied the contents and pasted it into the server EcoSim.eco Config. This fixed my issue with seeds, I could get the highlighted leaves but never a seed. After i got seed

Do you have any lag issues on a 200 x 200 map? How many players too? And server provider.

Single Player world and to be fair, it is a big performance impact lol

I think if I went again I would go for somewhere between a 120x120 world to a 160x160 as it's much bigger than I really use or would really be needed by a community of 8-16 players.

what is your skill level at in gathering? if you have just started the game try putting 1 or 2 points into it as that will increase your chances of getting acorns .. all around my house i have about 30 trees at a space of 8 squares apart .. house covers an area of 18 X 18 square and the trees are scattered around that ... oak trees i've found give more wood than other trees so the 30 that are around my house are perfect for whatever timber is needed for construction

The harvestable from rice is an old tooltip as oak didnt used to be havestable for seeds, but in the latest patches are now available. Myself i have no issues with getting Oak, in fact running out of room for them, Birch on the other hand ive stripped over 10 trees with only 4 seeds dropped. I think its all a case of RNG. They all have a low drop rate anyway. If its bugging you that much you could always change the config file to increase drop rate i think. But otherwise better start praying to RNGesus and keep hacking at those trees.
