Hired help mods?

[dlcnate1]

I made a mistake and planted way too many fruit trees on my forest farm, plus on ginger island too...

Are there any mods that let me hire people to pick them every three days? I don't want the automation mod where you just put a chest by the tree, I would rather have something to keep the verisimilitude as intact as possible.

as far as I know none are up-to-date but you could use Junimo huts if you're far enough into the story
or you do what I do and get the hot spring cave and timespeed mods

how many fruit trees, and just ignore them if you don't want to harvest them. I planted 43 banana trees on the beach in ginger island. and a few other trees. It was more an experiment to figure out how to get more banana trees.

compared to other sources of income though, its not that great.

They only need to harvested every 3 days. Or is it 4? Either way, not too difficult.

chop them down and if their not in the green house they will only grow in one in seson but ginger island is forever sumer
sorry for any typos

I prefer Energy Time which still limits what you can do in a day but turns it into more of a turn based management exercise.

after reading through the discription I can say it sounds like something that wouldn't be for me, well maybe in late game but I'm currently trialling all of the maps for only the first month and there is just too much to do and the day would be over within 10 minutes :D
how is it working with healing? do you get daytime back?

You can use automate to gather the fruit but you need to connect the trees with a connector.
This can be every vanilla path you enable as connector in automate settings.

If it is more time you need there is the mod longer days wich dos exactly that make every day longer but without the even more cheaty way of freezing time as many other time mods do.

junimo huts don't harvest from fruit trees, also i have cjb cheats installed and i can just pause time... that isn't the issue though, i don't want to actually do the harvesting but i still want the fruits

like.... 2 or 3 hundred including ginger island... there's so many that i have to do the farm and ginger island on separate days, i only have one day every three where i don't have to harvest the fruit, except in winter where it's only ginger island and the greenhouse... i do want them harvested, i just don't want to do it myself

I have so many that even though it is every 3 days it has become an onerous task that can't be automated

I still want them, so chopping them would be kinda antithetical to my desires.

yeah i know this mod, but it breaks verisimilitude and i want one that feels more real you know?

Well if your okay with a whole expansion, Ridgeside Village adds the Odd Jobs office where you can hire people to water plants, harvest your crops and such.
I never used the service myself but I assume you can also let them harvest your fruit trees

Energy Time is configurable so you can have half an energy bar deplete a day, or four full bars or whatever. It does make the Efficient enchantment kinda busted tho!

Tell me more about it, I have its wiki pulled up... am I able to just plug it in mid game or would I have to start a new one?

It should be fine to add midway.
The only thing you will be missing is the introductions.
Ridgeside NPC's wil act as if they know you a long time already.

If you have mods that alter the bus area you might have some visual glitches but those can be solved if needed.

the only mods i have are CJB cheats because i started on console and for some reason you run slower on PC

[dlcnate1]

well i looked more into it, the odd jobs people don't harvest fruit trees

As I said I never used it myself.
You could join the Ridgeside discord and do a request to add fruit tree harvesting to the jobs.
If enough people would like that there is a good chance it happens in a future update.

Personally I just set up Automate tough.
