The Heavy Tapper is a crafted item that works at twice the production rate of a regular Tapper. The recipe can be purchased in Mr. Qi's Secret Walnut Room on Ginger Island for data-sort-value="20"> 20. It can be placed on a tree to produce Maple Syrup, Oak Resin, Pine Tar, Mystic Syrup, or Sap. It can also be placed on a Mushroom Tree to produce different mushrooms, but the production rate is not increased compared to a regular Tapper. It can be placed on Fiddlehead Stalks to produce Fiddlehead Ferns.

The Heavy Tapper can be removed from a tree by hitting it once with an axe or pickaxe. This leaves the Tapper intact and able to be reused. If the Heavy Tapper is on a tree when it is struck by lightning, both the Tapper and its contents are destroyed.

Heavy Tappers placed on Maple Trees, Oak Trees, Pine Trees, Mahogany Trees, or Mystic Trees continue to produce during Winter. Since Mushroom Trees and Fiddlehead Stalks turn to stumps in Winter, any tappers placed on them produce nothing during that season.

Note that there is no difference between a Tapper and a Heavy Tapper placed on a Mahogany Tree, since Heavy Tappers only affect production time, and the minimum production time for a tapper is 1 night.^[1]

Bugs

Common trees tapped with a Heavy Tapper instead of a regular Tapper can turn into Mushroom Trees in Fall.
Oak Trees and Maple Trees tapped with a Heavy Tapper instead of a regular Tapper can turn into Green Rain Trees in Fall, whereas this should only have a chance to happen to trees that do not contain any tapper.
