Foraged Items

I've found that several foraged items benefit from the Tiller Profession bonus when they shouldn't. For example, blackberries and salmonberries picked from bushes during respective seasons give the Tiller bonus, but when picked from the ground (blackberries during Fall and Salmonberries in the Farm Cave) do not give the bonus.

If adding foraged grapes to a stack of crop grapes, the foraged grapes give the Tiller bonus. Otherwise, they don't. I would assume the same holds for Cactus Fruit, except for iridium quality. Crystal Fruit gained from killing Dust Sprites also gives the Tiller bonus.

I have no plans to make the table any longer by adding all these possibilities. I don't think the added length and the added complexity of explaining all this would help anyone use the table any better. Feel free to comment with opposing opinions.  ;) margotbean (talk) 19:42, 5 September 2018 (BST)

I have no objections to your suggestions for greater simplicity. But another thing that comes to mind is a discussion we had well over a year ago about this kind of bug. I have explored the save files structures much more thoroughly since then, and am virtually certain that there is no separate field within berries, grapes, or any other <Item> that saves the information about where the item originated: crop, forage, drop, etc. It does contain price info.

But here's the thing. An <Item> is not a single item. It is a *stack* of items, all with the same properties, including price, type, name, and quality. If the type, name, and quality of two <Item>s match, say one in inventory and the other in a chest, then the game allows the two stacks to merge, or any substacks of them to merge. Merging creates a single stack with a single price for all items in the stack. Whichever price was chosen, they must now be the same. There isn't room for two prices (or two points of origin) in the same stack. And hence, some original information was lost. Sell the items now, and the prices will be different. Tiller bonuses will disappear, or they will appear where they weren't before. It seems to me we madly tried to sort out which one would prevail, but that proved complex, futile, and incommunicable. I'm all for covering up too many details of what is clearly a bug anyway. Butterbur (talk) 02:28, 6 September 2018 (BST)

Notes disorder

There seems to bee something wrong with the notes as they do not match. I noticed especially with the coffee. Could someone please check and correct it also for 'no profession' and 'artisan'?
Thanks a lot, Nyles (talk) 07:14, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
