→Pig mechanics part 2: new section
(As an aside - I also found (granted, from only one season of testing) that from the time it takes a mature pig to go from zero to max friendship, it finds an average of about 1.5 truffles/day (after gatherer perk) - so roughly half that of a maxed pig. I thought that might be good information to include on the page.) [[User:Pigtesting123|Pigtesting123]] ([[User talk:Pigtesting123|talk]]) 03:38, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

But, to my main point - I had noticed on previous runs that on days I spent in Skull Cavern or on Ginger Island, I would tend to get fewer truffles. During my testing, I tried this out as well. Since all I had to pay attention to was what the pigs were doing, I noticed the pattern of where truffles were found - it turned out that, if you leave the farm at all, the pigs appear to stop "moving" around the map. They are still capable of finding truffles, but if they are all bunched up right outside the barn door, or not outside the barn yet at all, they will not have available space to find as many. So if you warp off the farm as soon as you wake up, you get hardly any truffles. If you hang around the farm for 2-3 hours in the morning, the pigs will have spread out enough that you can get about the average number of truffles. This was the main point I thought would be good to include in the article, since it can seriously decrease your truffle yield if you're spending lots of time off the farm. (And one more note - I restarted the day after testing this out, so my numbers above were not affected by the lower truffle yield - those numbers reflect staying on the farm all day.) Maybe this was something others already knew, but I didn't, and it isn't mentioned in the article. [[User:Pigtesting123|Pigtesting123]] ([[User talk:Pigtesting123|talk]]) 03:39, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
