Fruit trees and Tappers

[nixxyfawn]

Can I put tappers on fruit trees? I saw on an episode of living off the land on the in game that you can put tappers on fruit trees and harvest the sap for a profitable tree sap...But i've been trying to put tappers on my fruit trees and it doesn't seem to be working.

just oak maple and pine trees to the best of my knowledge.

No you can't, even the description of the tapper says just Pine, Maple and Oak trees.

[nixxyfawn]

So is that Living off the land thing was just saying so? Or like are most of those fact in that show false?

[EleventhStar]

you mean these tips? maybe you misread.

"Got any tappers? Crafty foragers known how to build 'em. You can attach them to the wild trees that grow all over. Maple trees yield maple syrup, oak trees provide resin, and pine trees produce pine tar. Syrup's the most valuable but all tree products have their uses!"

"Here's an idea... start a wild tree orchard! Put tappers on those trees and harvest the valuable syrup. Or don't! See if I care."

Ooooh ok that's what I saw...I guess I thought it meant by wild tree orchard "Fruit trees" xD

I think red mushrooms.

I know i saw a pic of a taped giant mushroom on one of these treads somewere.

I don't think mushroom saps gonna become a mushroom them self. They aren't amoeba u know. More likely a bug to me

Tappers on the giant mushroom tree do indeed give small red mushrooms.

So is it only red mushrooms or do others pop out?

Riiight, I forgot that this game have different logic. Compared to foot shedding rabbit, mushrooms bearing mushroom looks normal i guess

I don't know. The one I put a tapper on popped up late fall. Less than a week later it was winter and the tree became a stump. I only got a few red mushrooms out of it. I assumed the stump meant that the tree was dead and so I chopped it down and got a purple mushroom. A day or so later (in real life) I read on here that mushroom stumps come back in the spring. Live and learn.

I can confrim the mushroom tapper will give red mushrooms.

It will also come back in the spring.
