Tree/Bush sprouting chance

[naosnule]

What does the chance to sprout in herbalist table depend on? I tried sprouting 4 berry bushes but 3 died, so that makes me sad .

So far at my village we're suspecting something slightly above 20%, which makes the idea of a tree farm pure headache.

Is this really as intended?

Different trees seem to have different success rates. We're at 20% success rate with mulberries but 100% success rate with planewood and pine. Half of our tea bushes have been successfully.

I've had 6 out of 6 trees sprout successfully so far, you might just be very unlucky.

The big question for me is which trees grow fastest once planted? I'm planting a wide range to try to get an answer to this but naturally they all take forever.

It's worth considering that the bough bearing trees are 100% required now. Doesn't leave that many options lol.

It may be you that is lucky.

After a combined 90-100 attempts we are sitting at a 20-25% success rate on trees and a slightly better 40% rate on bushes. I'll be doing some testing today on whether or not biome specific soil matters (which would be terrible since soil isn't labeled based on biome) and if I can find the appropriate soil I would like to test the effects of Essence/Substance/Vitality on the success rate. If there isn't something I'm missing and tree farming is simply meant to be this difficult then I don't really know what to say, with most trees giving 2 seeds it will be impossible to ever get anywhere.

2 Seeds per harvest. Possible the intention is that we need multiple harvests to progress. And yeah that would take forever lol.
