Where do I sell my artisan goods?

[napkin]

I have a ton of maple syrup and other things from trees, but nobody seems to buy them. I know about the shipping box, but I want to be able to sell everything in one day. Is that possible? Who buys it? TwT thanks

[Bobywan]

Doesn't Pierre buy them ? I don't remember, I use the box everytime.
Maple syrup is a liked gift from everybody except Maru also, might want to use them that way, or to build a few bee hives.

the only place i have been able to do it is in the shipping box on my farm

You can throw as many things into the shipping box as you want. It will then be sold at the end of the day.

And the shops will buy things, which are part of the item group they're selling.
- Pierre will buy any crops, seeds, foragings and such things (Joja will propably be the same)
- Robin will buy materials like wood or stone
- Clint buys metals
- Willy buys fish
You can go and sell your goods there instantly, if you can't wait until the next day. There's no difference in earnings though, so if you can wait one day, then just throw the products into the box and don't waste your time running through the town.

And just a tip: Try to only produce as many Syrup/Resin/Tar as you really need to build things. It's otherwise better to use the area for other things.

You do realize you can put Tappers on trees OUTSIDE of your farm, right? There's no reason not to have as many Tappers as you want, you just have to walk a little.

Yeah, i already know that. But here we have someone who still doesn't know, how the selling process works, so it's a legitimate assumption, that they're most likely a beginner. And when i hear "a ton" as stated quantity, then i wouldn't be surprised, if a beginner uses an unecessarily big area (which also includes the area outside of the farm) to produce these things, so i gave an extra tip, just in case.

And it's ok, if i just get ignored by everyone, who doesn't need the tip anymore or if someone adds further tips on top of it. There's no need to start a discussion on it though.

It's a bit of a leap to say that someone who can't find a vendor who will purchase artisan goods to get money the same day (and who specifically says they know they can ship it via the shipping box to get money the next day) "still doesn't know how the selling process works", don't you think?

[Stardustfire]

and its a little funny to use the term" only as many as you need" taking into account how much barrels each player normaly want to build, what means you need amas of this stuff.....
what means for the TS: DONT sell that stuff until you sure you have build enove of the items that need it.

I'm not trying to harass you, I'm just pointing out yet another beginner tip that it's possible to tap trees outside of the Farm (which many people don't know).

I also (as a personal preference) prefer not to pave over my entire farm. Most traditional farms tended to leave at least some area for trees. Farms needed firewood and also just wood for making things out of. Lots of people who "farm" have more land area than they can work, and Tappers are a way to get some low energy input production out of terrain that you haven't otherwise cleared.

If you want to clear everything, then sure, go ahead. But personally, I'm more likely to have clumps of trees at various spots around my farm. No reason not to toss up a few Tappers.

What are you even arguing about here? It's a "tip", not a "guideline for playing the game properly". I've seen enough beginners putting down unproductive things, just to be surprised afterwards, at how other people get things done faster.

Since when it started to be bad thing to give other people "just in case"-tips? I never intended to insult anyone with it. If they know, how to build their farm, then as i said: just ignore my tip. That's totally ok and no reason to attack my playstyle.

Just read my post again. I didn't use the word "area" instead of "farm" just for fun. You can also waste area outside the farm. I didn't really saw a reason to also specify such an obvious fact.

Just take the train area. You can plant quite a lot of trees there. If you put down tons of tappers there, then you would get like ~200 g per week per tree, but you would more likely loose way more money for buying wood at robin to compensate the fact, that you won't chop down tapped trees anymore, especially from the 2nd year onwards. It's just highly unprofitable, no matter where you put tappers on trees, unless you need them to build things.

I'm honestly baffled by the degree to which this seems to be upsetting you.

Your initial post attempted to discourage the OP from using any more than the minimum number of Tappers necessary to produce reagents necessary for making processing tools (Kegs, Jars, fertilizer, whatever).

You said:

The primary "area" you might put to other uses is your farm. (You can make limited use of the Quarry, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't what you were referring to).

Using "the area" for other things is a personal preference on your part. It's perfectly viable to use sections of your farm for growing trees, and if you are growing trees, then why not toss on a few Tappers? There's nothing that says it's necessary to min/max the cash output of every single spot on your farm.

Further: The trees that grow outside your farm can be put to exactly two uses: You can cut them down for wood; or you can put Tappers on them. If your plan is to constantly clear-cut the entire valley then ... well ... have at it. But if you're not cutting down every single tree outside your farm the instant it's mature, and you have some Tappers, then toss them on some convenient trees, what's the loss?

The point being: Your "tip" attempted to discourage extensive use of Tappers. Meaning no disrespect: I disagree with your tip, Tappers are a low-impact way to gain extra production out of under utilized areas.

Energy and time-per-day remain finite quantities. There are almost always going to be areas and aspects of the game that aren't your focus, regardless of who you are, or how you play. Tappers are a set-it-and-forget-it way to get some dividends from those areas.

Tappers in-game, are a perfect representation of how they're used functionally in real life.

If you, personally, wish to play differently, then by all means, do so. But (again, meaning no disrespect) I don't agree with your tip. Tappers are a useful way to gain a little extra with very little labor or input from the Farmer.

I don't make excuses, i just explain it further, as some of you doesn't seem to understand the nature of my tip or my intentions to help. You can choose to follow or ignore it, which i now said multiple times already. Continuing to bash my comment into oblivion doesn't make my tip less valid for people, which it's aiming at.
