Foraging Crops don't spawn

[Sputz]

Hi,
I try to do the first bundle for the community center and i already gave two ingredients, but now it seems crops dont spawn anymore.. i found one leek in like 7 days and i am activily searching for crops everyday all over the map. Is my game broken? Yesterday in my first save the crops spawned like everywhere.

Random. Usually can find them over the first few days of a season though but as with anything random your luck may vary.

[Bexy]

They are random. One thing you can do in certain areas is clear out the weeds/rocks/logs so you have more chances of having forage items appearing. Just keep searching for them.

For forage crops, it's a good idea to always hold on to ingredients so you can make seed packets.

Actually, it's usually a good idea to hold on to a little bit of everything as you go along. You never know what someone's going to ask for to rub against their body.

Or to throw against walls (Sebastian you are so wierd)

Thanks, for the answers. I now found my first Horseradish on day 25 (I never sold any foraged crops). I think such important crops should not depend that much on RNG. I was able to buy the needed flowers on the festival, but for the horseradish i had to have luck and without it i would not have been able to start the beginnerquest of the community center for another year.

I also cleaned a lot of areas (near the wizardtower, busstop, north of the farm) completly of anything i was able to remove for the last 10 days. I still think that something is wrong in my game.

I'm having the same issue. On the first summer I went foraging on day 2. After that I only ever had two grapes ever respawn the entire season. I kept the forest and town clear of weeds and rocks. I think this is a bug.

I don't know if I'm looking forward to seeing what these posters are talking about or afraid of it.

The very same issue here. Found a lot of stuff (but mainly spring onion) in spring but a few days into summer and there is almost nothing but a couple of grapes. Luckily I saved some mixed seeds from spring, so I was able complete the community package. Because I barely get those seeds now too! Now I'm in fall and still nothing. 3 shrooms, one hazelnut, the bushels that drop random seeds barely appear and dont drop'em anyway (no matter if I use scythe or not). I cleaned all the woods, used hoe, was looking after rain, tried shaking trees bushes, have the gatherer profession... This has to be a bug :-/

There are other ways of aquiring these items... you just don't know about them yet :P

Got to admit I've noticed that the wild crops were everywhere during Spring, but come Summer and I'm finding next to nothing. A handful of grapes and flowers over 19 days does seem quite low.

All weeds have been cut in all accessable area's, rocks and branches chopped only thing left standing are the fully grown trees (but that didn't effect anything during Spring)

In case you are talking about the Wild Seeds 10x packs[stardewvalleywiki.com] that can be crafted: I know them, but each requires some of those plant as ingredients. There aren't even enough wild plants to craft one of the packs :/ Why is there a gathering profession, when there is nothing to gather... Sidenote: I barely get hay out of grass, too.

Who said anything about crafting the seeds?

That's why I wrote "IN CASE you are talking about the seed crafting..." Because you didn't really write a helpful comment. Personally, I just wan't to know if it is a bug, so I'll wait a while for a fix or focus on a different part of the game. I just feel like I wasted 3/4 of the summer with running around, not finding anything, and missing my goal of a self-sustainable, organic, fertilizer-free, fair trade, permaculture farm ... :] And, just like others mentioned, it feels to me like a bug: I followed the tipps&tricks, but my world just stays... empty...

The RNG for forage items can be quite merciless. I'm lucky to get everything for the community center requirements, much less have enough left over to craft seeds. It's not like you can cover the whole map every day looking for one last item.

When I go to town I try to cover half the map and check the usual places: Bus stop then either north (community park, Linus' tent, farm north entry) or south ("the onion grove" south of Leah's, round the lake towards wizard, back to farm south entry). And while there was always something in spring, it is now gone since early summer (I'm at 7th of fall). It feels like cleaning the woods did not actually raise the chance to find stuff, but lower it -_- Or maybe something is at odds with the Gatherer specialization formula.
Anyway, from the sound of "Living off the land" and the book in the library I expected to be able to never have to buy seeds, just by collecting Mixed seeds off the wild weeds or crafting Wild Seed packags from foraged fruit...

At least I'm not the only one having this problem :)
