Are strawberries nerfed ? With 1.6

[Buurt]

I always planned alot of strawberries in my first year.
Before 1.6 I got like 2-3 harvest per berries.

I planted 40 and I only got 40 from them.

Did he nerfed strawberries or all barries with 1.6 ?

TLDR: no

Strawberries are unchanged. Pretty sure the only ways to get three harvests year 1 are to use speed grow or get a fairy night event (the fairy event can even get 4 harvests if it happens early enough). There is a chance to get an extra berry when harvesting each plant, but it sounds like luck wasn't on you side for this.

Otherwise you should get two harvests, if you plant within 3 days of buying the seeds at the festival and water them every day.

Strawberries have always been one per harvest.

Blueberries three per harvest, Cranberries are two per harvest.

Information from your wiki link:
"When harvested, each Strawberry plant gives 1 Strawberry every 4 days, with a 2% chance for more Strawberries."

There is an ambiguity in the word harvest. Does it mean number of berries that occur in a single harvest interaction or number of times you can make a harvest interaction per season?

No need to get persnickety.

As far as the OP is concerned it doesn't matter, as they are mistaken and strawberries are unchanged. It could be their memory is mistaken, it could be they planted late or missed watering their crops some days (I suppose it's also possible they ran into an odd interaction with a mod or a bug of some kind).

OP asks two different questions by mistake, due to being ESL it seems.

Strawberries only ever gave 1 berry per seed. So that's unchanged. I THINK that's what their question was.

Single harvest interaction. In my mother tongue, German, the wiki is even more clear.
"Nachdem die Pflanzen ausgewachsen sind, lässt sich von jeder Pflanze alle 4 Tage eine Erdbeere ernten. Es besteht eine geringe Chance auf eine zweite Erdbeere."

You get one, with a 2% chance to get two per plant and harvest.

Which isn't true.
1. As I pointed out before, 2% chance of a second berry.
2. Why "per seed"? Strawberries regrow. So you get definetly more than one per seed.

Eh ... sure, that's technically correct.

But 98% of the time, it's just going to be one berry. Which is what the OP asked about. He was probably remembering Blueberries or Cranberries which usually give multiple fruit per harvest.

For Strawberries, functionally, the OP should expect one berry per harvest.

If there's an extra one, great, bonus, bumper crop, but it's not something to count on.

It can be very useful. The best example would be rare seeds, where the increase in sell value far exceeds the cost of fertilizer.

If you are planning on processing crops into some kind of artisan good, then it makes sense to plant normally (although in many cases it makes more sense to use speed grow to get extra harvests in a season). If you are going to sell the crops or give them as gifts fertilizer makes sense (at least basic fertilizer does, as the cost is 2 sap).

Depends on what fertilizer you are talking about too: basic, or quality, or maybe speed-gro?
Also depends on what plant you will use it on, and what you intend to do with produce you pick in the end.
Few examples:
- Star fruit without any kind of fertilizer - you can get no more than 2 harvests per season. But with Deluxe speed-gro you can get 3. Same with pumpkins.
- Strawberries in year 1 - only 2 harvests "naturally" - but 3 harvests if you plant them right away, don't miss any watering, and use speed-gro (which you can get as a reward in CC before or on the day of Egg festival).
Even basic fertilizer has a use - you get a bit more of higher quality product. It doesn't matter much if you are processing everything, or on cranberries and blueberries, but in general if you just sell everything as-is then better quality means more money.

Also, basic fertilizer is crafted from just sap - and that's so plentiful you wouldn't know what to do with it pretty soon anyway. ;P

For speed fertilizers it's not as useful on crops that you get multiple harvests from per season or until you remove them in other locations such as your greenhouses as it only works on the initial growing and not between each harvest after.

For normal crops a lot of crops can be worth it if you plan correctly and have a way to craft enough for the more valuable crops.

[Bobucles]

Speed fertilizer boosts the first harvest. It does nothing with future strawberry harvests.

Multi harvest crops give more money overall, but demand the entire season to pay off. One shot crops are quicker for getting that compound profit going, because you can quickly cash out and reinvest multiple times for the season.
