the dehydrator doesn't really fix the mushroom cave...

[kingjames488]

the fundamental flaw of the mushroom cave is that it only ever gives you 6 mushrooms, unlike the bat cave you can't accumulate them. heck, 1 mushroom log pretty much does the job of the whole cave.

it needs to be able to accumulate mushrooms, or at least give stacks of 5 common mushrooms from each bed so you can even use the dehydrator without having to save multiple harvests of the cave.

Who said it needed a fix? It is better than before and that is good enough. Also, the dehydrator works also for my fruits, so I don't really need same 5 mushrooms every day.

i have the cave and six mushroom logs in my "tree-farm" section of the farm. suround them with pine/oak gives you best chance for morrels/chantelles who sell for most, aside from purple mushrooms.
also- do you have the artisane-price boost from reaching farming lv?

you can just reverse your argument and say that fruit trees do the same as the batcave.

both the cave options are early game mechanics that stop being relevant in the mid and late game, and that is completely fine.

tho the fruit cave is arguably more useful later on since it can keep accumulating fruit where as the mushroom cave will only ever have 6 mushrooms ;/

that's just personal preference. mushrooms are better if you check it regularly, bats if you only check once in a while.

same with community center contributions, mushrooms are guaranteed to help you with an easy bundle, where the bats may or may not help you with harder ones depending on RNG.

endgame bats area better though, since you can cram more chests/machines in an empty cave.
