WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Fruit trees found in world biomes.
Fruit trees provide three kinds of output: fruit, logs and a sapling corresponding to the tree. The known fruit tree outputs include Apple, Banana, Coconut and Lemon. Collect these materials when you find fruit trees in the world, then decide which fruit is useful for your food or recipe needs and which saplings you want to retain. This guide focuses on gathering and managing those outputs; it does not assume a particular settlement planting method.
A storage plan for keeping useful saplings and fruit.
Look for fruit trees while exploring biomes you can reach safely.
Identify the fruit tree output you want to collect, such as Apple, Banana, Coconut or Lemon.
Use an Axe to harvest the tree and gather its dropped materials.
Collect the fruit, logs and matching sapling produced by the tree.
Keep saplings separate by type so you can distinguish the corresponding fruit trees.
Store fruit for food or recipes you plan to make, and keep logs for crafting or construction.
Review stored supplies before collecting more of a fruit you already have in surplus.
Farming tips
Retain the sapling for a fruit type you expect to use; the sapling corresponds to its tree variety.
Different fruit trees can share a log type, so identify them by their fruit and sapling as well.
Repeat, collect and use
Finding and harvesting wild fruit trees is repeatable only where trees are available to collect. Each harvested tree yields its materials, but this guide does not assume an orchard replanting method.
Common mistakes
Leaving before collecting the sapling: check the tree’s drops and gather it if you want to retain that variety.
Mixing saplings without tracking their type: store them separately to preserve the fruit-to-tree association.
Collecting every fruit without a use: prioritize the types needed for food or recipes and manage surplus in storage.
When to stop or switch
Stop gathering a fruit type when your stored supply covers the food or recipe uses you currently have; collect another variety when it fills a specific need.
