Nerf the Mulberry Tree

[Lunarius_Haberdash]

I've been talking about the Mulberry Tree with some village mates, and I've come to a conclusion. The Mulberry Tree needs to be seriously nerfed.

It produces berrys earlier than any other tree, which would be a great trait. For any other tree.

It produces the most leaves of any tree, making it amazing for leaf wraps.
It's leaves can be used for Fodder, making it one of the most abundant sources of fodder (It's relatively trivial to collect several thousand leaves, and with it's 6 day growth time, can be advanced relatively quickly. Admittedly there's a lot of caps along the way... This is not my biggest complaint)
It produces berries on day 2, making it the fastest method of quality growth.
It's necessary for silk production, so it's an essential tree.

Ultimately it seems like there's very little reason to plant any other tree, and that in and of itself is a problem.

Sure Apples produce Apples and the nut trees produce nuts, but Mulberry is the King of Trees in general utility. The berry sprout time should be extended as a result to balance it's myriad of other positives.

Not sure of best producing seeds.
Hazelnut provides it faster.
IIRC 1 mullbery leaf = 0.1 fodder, 25 food points from tree is not so mutch.

aesthetics, boughs, wood quantity, tar, nuts... dis heartling cereal?

not every player is after maximum efficiency, it's actually kinda pointless in a world like this

Pretty sure that the nut trees produce seeds faster than mulberry, or if at the same time. All that which you said would also apply to them. Walnuts, for one, produce a lot more wood than the mulberry. If you're quality growing mulberries for anything other than the leaves for silk... well, yeah. You shouldn't. There's better trees out there for that.

As to leaves and pit roasts - why are you using them for that? Beetroot leaves can be, and easier and faster to get higher quality from them.

Also, why would you use it for fodder? Uh, pumpkins? Best fodder crop there is. Second best is the beetroot. Trees are... well, shouldn't be on the radar.

Pack your pumpkin seeds and move?

did i say pumpkins need a nerf? nope. i'm content with harvesting carrots every 1.5 days for higher q fodder

i'm just saying, mulberry trees are far from needing a nerf. as they are considered a food tree such as walnut and plum but with leaves
