WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Tree Tapper Products
Maple, Oak, and Pine trees on the farm or other accessible outdoor areas.
Before you go
- Tapper recipe and materials to craft one or more Tappers.
- Mature Maple, Oak, or Pine trees that can be reached.
- Space to leave tapped trees standing until collection.
Farming steps
- Choose a set of trees and identify each species before placing equipment.
- Craft a Tapper using the recipe available to your character.
- Place one Tapper on each selected tree and leave the tree intact.
- Check the Tapper later for a finished product; the product depends on the tree species.
- Collect Maple Syrup from Maple, Oak Resin from Oak, and Pine Tar from Pine.
- Store products separately so Oak Resin and Pine Tar are available when production recipes require them.
- Reattach or keep the Tapper in place to continue the production cycle.
- Tap trees before clearing a wooded edge so useful trees are not cut down by accident.
- Use labels or a written layout if several species are mixed together; the outputs are not interchangeable.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a repeatable production loop: leave each Tapper attached, collect its output when ready, and continue using the same tree. Collection timing varies by product and setup.
Common mistakes
- Tapping the wrong tree while expecting a specific item; verify the species because it determines the product.
- Chopping a tapped tree during cleanup; mark or preserve production trees.
- Selling Oak Resin or Pine Tar before checking crafting needs; retain materials intended for recipes.
When to stop or switch
Stop tapping a species when its output is no longer needed or storage is full; collect the device and repurpose the tree area if desired.
