When your total earnings reach {{price|25000}} [[Demetrius]] will come by and tell you he has been doing research. He'll then give you the options if you want bats to leave [[fruit]]s in your cave or to have mushrooms randomly grow in your cave. This choice is permanent and cannot be changed in game.

After accumulating {{price|25000}}, [[Demetrius]] will visit [[the Farm]] and inform [[The Player|the player]] that he would like to use the cave to set up research specimens. He'll give the option to choose between fruit bats (which leave [[fruit]] in the cave) or mushrooms. This choice is permanent and cannot be reversed.

 

==Fruit bats==

==Fruit Bats==

Fruit bats leave various fruit in the Cave on your farm. This is a great option if you are large into making [[Artisan Goods]] as it gives you a slow but steady supply of [[fruit]] even out of season. This also helps speed up finishing the [[Artisan Bundle]] in the first year or two before you have enough money to buy all the [[Fruit Trees]] necessary for the bundles. [[Fruit Tree]] fruit make excellent gifts for villagers because they are universal likes (with the lone exception of [[Pierre]] and [[apple]]s), readily accessible early game, do not require a [[Cooking|kitchen]], and cheaper than many other universal likes. This seems to be the best late game use outside of making [[Artisan Goods]], [[Shipping]] them, finishing the [[Artisan Bundle]], or eating them for extra energy even though they don't replenish very much health.

[[File:Cave Mushrooms.jpg|thumb|right|260px|Mushroom plots in the cave.]]

Six plots will be added to the cave where certain types of [[Foraging|mushrooms]] will randomly grow. Five different types will appear, including all four that are required to craft the [[Life Elixir]].  Even though [[Common Mushroom]]s, [[Morel]]s, and [[Chanterelle]]s, are the ones that most commonly appear, this is still the best way to craft the elixir as often as possible. This makes the Mushroom option a great one for those who love to go into [[The Mines]], especially since most mushrooms can be hard to find otherwise. This is also a good choice for players that have grown, or plan to grow, fruit trees and do not need the extra [[fruit]] provided by the fruit bats.
