→Truffles on Pathing?: new section
::::::Many thanks! This matches my experience much better, especially with regards to the variability and distribution of truffle finds. Average daily yield approaches 2 per pig only when friendship is high and the animal is reasonably happy, can go a bit higher at max levels, but can also drop to half that or less on poor yield days. It is fairly common for truffles to appear in clumps by the end of the day, sometimes as many as five adjacent (with enough pigs). (Maybe they feel cramped?) And it is also not uncommon to have them appear outside the pig pen enclosure, on tiles adjacent to the barriers, be they fences, tea bushes, trees, Lightning Rods, or the like - and this even when there's another truffle directly opposite on the inside of the barrier. A pig's bounding box never seems to reach far enough to produce truffles two tiles outside the pen. [[User:Butterbur|Butterbur]] ([[User talk:Butterbur|talk]]) 16:01, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
== Truffles on Pathing? ==
Perhaps it is a trick of my memory, but I think I have seen truffles appear on top of paved tiles. I can't say for sure about paved tiles inside the animal enclosure, but it's another thing outside the enclosure, where I often place walkways. At any rate, I've never been sure about why the game places any truffle where it does, and that is especially so for those that appear on the opposite sides of obstacles like fences. The pig can not be present on such a tile when digging, neither can it dig on the tile where an obstacle is. Why does the truffle appear then two tiles away from the nearest possible digging point? For that matter, why do they appear on grass tiles inside a pen?
My guess is that truffles are (sometimes?) placed adjacent to the digging location. On grass, they always seem at the borders between grass and clear tiles. Perhaps a tile on the inside of a pen next to its border is dug and the game first decides it should appear on a border tile, which is found to be obstructed, and is them moved outside the pen? And the game decides that if that tile is paved, there is no reason why the truffle can't be there (just as a torch or piece of equipment can be placed on pathing)?
This entry is a reminder to myself to look further, but perhaps someone else already has noticed something related.(?) [[User:Butterbur|Butterbur]] ([[User talk:Butterbur|talk]]) 16:29, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
