→Extra Truffles
::Ok. The article had not said that the first one was guaranteed. I was figuring there was only a 2/3 chance of a first one, putting my count off by one. [[User:Butterbur|Butterbur]] ([[User talk:Butterbur|talk]]) 05:50, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
::Something is still incorrect about the mechanics here. Despite my best efforts, I am unable to replicate an average of 3 truffles per day. With 12 pigs over 28 days, maxed friendship and the Shepherd profession, and grass-free pens (grassy tiles can significantly reduce the truffles found each day) I get about 2.35 truffles/day per pig. If this math is even correct about how extra truffle probability is determined (what's the source?), the probability of getting that first truffle at all and/or pathfinding and time considerations may also play significant roles.[[User:Farmonymous|Farmonymous]] ([[User talk:Farmonymous|talk]]) 16:03, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
:::Well, I have yet to be convinced that one truffle is guaranteed, experience being contrary. However, I've never optimized production as One More Day speaks of. I tend to think that the amount of grass-free space affects the count, up to who knows how many pigs in whatever number of open tiles. I'm not sure the pig pen needs to be grass-free if there's enough room total. I've never selected the Shepherd Profession.
:::And that's because truffle count isn't the only factor to consider. I turn all or almost all truffles into truffle oil, an excellent profit center, especially while one is still developing the farm and in need of cash. Which is why I generally choose Tiller / Artisan professions. The truffle oil then sells for 40% more, which requires only 5/7 of the truffles to produce equal profits. I haven't kept tabs on max or average truffle production, because there are other affected profits that figure higher in my strategy. But I can say that I often get more than 2 per pig per day, probably over 2 on average. In truffle oil, these 2 truffles are as good as oil from 2.8 truffles in non-artisan oil. Perhaps I might even reach that 3/day equivalency?
:::There's more than one way to skim a profit. ;) [[User:Butterbur|Butterbur]] ([[User talk:Butterbur|talk]]) 02:10, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
