Fruit bats leave various fruit in the Cave on your farm. This is a great option for making [[Artisan Goods]] as it gives you a slow but steady supply of [[fruit]] even out of season. It also helps complete the {{Bundle|Artisan|16|y}} in the first year or two, before you have enough money to buy all the necessary [[Fruit Trees]]. [[Fruit Tree]] fruit make excellent gifts for villagers because they are universal likes, readily accessible early in the game, and do not require a [[Cooking|kitchen]]. Gifting may be the best late-game use for fruit, other than making [[Artisan Goods]], [[Shipping]] them, finishing the [[Bundle]]s, or eating them for extra energy (even though they don't replenish very much health).

Every night, there is a chance of new fruit spawning. If the cave is empty, there is a 48% chance of no new fruit; 25% chance of 1 fruit; 13% chance of 2 fruit; 7% chance of 3 fruit; 7% chance of 4 or more fruit.<ref name="fruitchances" /> The average spawn rate is 1.06 fruit per night. There is no hard limit on the maximum number of fruit in one night, other than the available floor space (50 tiles).

Fruit spawned in the cave always remains there until the player collects it (the cave contents are never automatically reset, even at the end of the week or the end of the month). Uncollected fruit reduces the space available for new fruit to spawn. For example, ten uncollected fruit increases the chances of no new fruit from 48% to 54%.  Placing equipment or [[Crafting#Decor|craftable flooring]] in the cave also reduces the space available for fruit.

Fruit found in the cave can be of any quality (normal, silver, gold, or iridium).  If the [[Foraging#Foraging Skill|Botanist Profession]] is chosen, the fruit will be iridium quality.  The [[Skills#Foraging|Gatherer]] profession gives the player a chance of obtaining two fruit.  Each fruit obtained from the cave gives the player 7 [[Foraging]] experience points.

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.

−
Cave mushrooms can be harvested daily, but never more than once a day. The six plots begin generating them the morning after Demetrius sets them up, and again every morning after a harvest. Apparent growth time is 10 hours (needs verification), so new mushrooms will not be available until after 4 PM. Like crops, mushrooms that are ready for harvest remain unspoiled until they are harvested. If the player harvests existing mushrooms before 7 AM, there will still be no more available until 4 PM the following day. Thus, if the player goes to bed without harvesting mushrooms that are ready, one day's production is missed.
+
Cave mushroom boxes produce every second day.<ref name="mushroomtime" /> Mushrooms grown in the cave are always of normal quality, even if the [[Foraging#Foraging Skill|Botanist Profession]] is chosen. Harvesting mushrooms from the Cave does not award the player with any [[Foraging]] experience points.

The mushroom cave comes with a free [[Dehydrator]].

The entrance to the cave near the Greenhouse.

The Farm Cave is an underground location accessed through a passage near the northern edge of The Farm. Initially it is just a small empty cave. After the player accumulates data-sort-value="25000">Gold.png25,000g in total earnings, Demetrius will visit the farm in the morning and inform the player that he would like to use the cave to set up research specimens. He'll give the player 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

 
Interior of the Fruit Bat cave

Fruit bats leave various fruit in the Cave on the farm overnight. This is a great option for making Artisan Goods as it gives a slow but steady supply of fruit, particularly foraged berries, even out of their respective seasons. It also helps complete the   Artisan Bundle in the Pantry in the first year or two, before the player has enough money to buy all the necessary Fruit Trees.

Fruit Tree fruits make excellent gifts for villagers because they are universal likes, readily accessible early in the game, and do not require a kitchen. Gifting may be the best late-game use for fruit, other than making Artisan Goods, Shipping them, finishing the Bundles, or eating them for extra energy (even though they don't replenish very much health).

Every night, there is a chance of new fruit spawning. If the cave is empty, there is a 48% chance of no new fruit; 25% chance of 1 fruit; 13% chance of 2 fruit; 7% chance of 3 fruit; 7% chance of 4 or more fruit.[1] The average spawn rate is 1.06 fruit per night. There is no hard limit on the maximum number of fruit in one night, other than the available floor space (50 tiles).

Fruit spawned in the cave always remains there until the player collects it (the cave contents are never automatically reset, even at the end of the week or the end of the month). Uncollected fruit reduces the space available for new fruit to spawn. For example, ten uncollected fruit increases the chances of no new fruit from 48% to 54%. Placing equipment or craftable flooring in the cave also reduces the space available for fruit.

Fruit found in the cave can be of any quality (normal, silver, gold, or iridium). If the Botanist Profession is chosen, the fruit will be iridium quality. The Gatherer profession gives the player a chance of obtaining two fruit. Each fruit obtained from the cave gives the player 7 Foraging experience points.

Mushrooms

 
Mushrooms in the cave.

Six boxes will be added to the cave where certain types of mushrooms will randomly grow. Five different types will appear, including all four that are required to craft the Life Elixir. Even though Common Mushrooms, Morels, and Chanterelles 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. After the Seed Maker recipe is unlocked, the Common Mushrooms can also be processed into Fall Seeds, and then crafted into Tea Saplings to either plant or sell.

Cave mushroom boxes produce every second day.[2] Mushrooms grown in the cave are always of normal quality, even if the Botanist Profession is chosen. Harvesting mushrooms from the Cave does not award the player with any Foraging experience points.

The mushroom cave comes with a free Dehydrator.

Notes

  • One of the stats on the Farm Computer is whether items are ready to be collected in the farm cave.

References

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Fruit spawning is controlled in the game code by FarmCave::DayUpdate. The code loops repeatedly, with a 34% chance of the loop terminating on each iteration. Otherwise, the spawn location is randomly selected from one of 90 tiles. Fruit only spawns if the selected tile is a valid location. 40 of the tiles are never valid (in the cave walls); existing fruit, equipment, or flooring in the cave will also make tiles invalid.
  2. ↑ Mushroom processing times are controlled by the game code in Object::DayUpdate case 128.
  3. ↑ See Object::DayUpdate in the game code.

History

  • 1.5: Fixed bug where mushroom box processing time was dependent on time of day when the player went to sleep.
  • 1.6: Fixed unintended behavior where mushroom boxes were harvestable every day. Now are harvestable every other day. The mushroom cave now comes with a free dehydrator.
