Preserve Fresh Fruit
Moving fresh produce into storage slows its decay compared with carrying it on your person.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Preserve Fresh Fruit
Residential gardens, orchard areas, and food routes where fruit trees are present; store at a secure tent or other server storage.
Before you go
- Inventory space for a small food load
- Known return route
- Secure tent or other storage if preserving surplus
- Food inspection before eating
Farming steps
- Pass fruit trees during an existing supply route rather than making an unsafe detour.
- Inspect each item and collect produce that is sound and usable.
- Keep the haul modest enough to preserve stamina and room for essentials.
- Return to shelter and sort the produce by condition.
- Eat or prepare the food that should be used first.
- Move the remaining produce from carried inventory into a tent or other server storage.
- Fresh food decays faster in player inventory than in a tent or other storage.
- Do not rely on a guaranteed fruit spawn timer; check trees naturally along your route.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat opportunistically whenever usable produce is available. This is a gathering loop, not a fixed-yield orchard harvest.
Common mistakes
- Planning a trip around an assumed spawn schedule: gather fruit when encountered and keep another food plan.
- Storing spoiled items with sound food: inspect condition and discard rotten produce.
- Keeping all surplus on your character: transfer it to secure storage after returning.
When to stop or switch
Stop collecting when your inventory is full, the food is deteriorating, or the route becomes unsafe; return to shelter and preserve what remains usable.
