Berries always regrow in the exact same places. If you find large groups of bushes just put a pin on the map so you can go back again later when the berries have regrown.
Or you could dev command place growing stuff or use mods that let you plant all things if that’s what takes your fancy. Honestly the gathering stuff is not often in short supply.
Thanks for the information. ^^
Yeah I know but going on berry runs late game is tedious to say the least. Same with deer.
You have enough to do gathering materials. Having a farm where you have everything you need for food would be nice.
Deer are good at the very beginning of the game, but then they're not very useful for advanced recipes.
Agree that being able to farm berries would be nice. Berries can be farmed IRL. Deer cannot really be tamed IRL, though, so there's that. There's also the fact that you need very few deer later in the game (as someone else mentioned). And honestly, later in game, when your Run skill is high and you can tank up on high-stamina foods, a berry/mushroom run should take almost no time at all, at least if you've marked map locations.
People have deer as livestock. Specifically Reindeer. Also it's a game, you tame wild boars. Have you met a boar in the wild? Try to tame one & see how that goes.
Again it’s not about how hard it is. It’s about efficiency. Clearly they added farming & livestock for that reason, it’s more efficient than running around finding boars to kill.
Or running around finding carrots & onions.
It may be different programming that is required. Nothing that replenishes by itself (berries, mushrooms, thistles, etc) can be farmed. All things that can be farmed drop seeds that time must be taken to plant, harvested after they grow, and then replanted to make more seeds.
Berries don't grow in the same biome IRL you have to have the right soil conditions, seasons, and water (cranberries, blue berries, and raspberries as examples). Lots of different IRL mushrooms can't be farmed.
When there are times that I don't feel like doing anything challenging I'll just run around and gather. At least you can use portals unlike mining ores where you have to take time, mod, or cheese the game to move the ores and metals.
I would like it if some tech upgrades would allow us to plant or relocate ingredients from earlier tiers. Those berry bushes have a lot of decorative potential. And it could be just one more small way to help players get back up to speed after a huge loss. I'm sure mods exist that already make that possible. Use at your own discretion.
Farming is not a matter of efficiency. It is a matter of necessity if one wants carrots or turnips or onions.
As for deer as livestock, yes, it is used a such by Lapps by Lapps who have no alternative and bred in the United States of America because the U.S. Depatment of Agriculture will not allow the commercial sale of wild meat. Vikings, however, had alternatives and did not have the USDA so they did not tame deer. So they did not tame deer.
That's all I can think of.
