question about bags of sugar and suger cane (plant)

[Poo]

decided to make some chocolates today in game.
now im not big into either cooking or gardening in game, but i do like to make the new stuff as it comes out.
also i do keep 5 raised garden beds in one of my castles and i keep them loaded and i harvest them every 2 weeks - typically i put orange petal, red petal, green thorns, vanilla, cocoa growing in each of the 5 beds.

so now i look at making some of these nutcracker chocolate things so i dig in and start getting stuff ready.
i have a tonne of cocoa from my raised plant over the years so i make up a bag full of cocoa butter and cocoa liqueur with no problem.
but then i see i need to convert the cocoa butter into 'sweet' cocoa butter.
ok.

so sacks of sugar, and here comes my question.... we cant grow sacks of sugar like we do vanilla and cocoa?
we can grow sugar cane but it will not produce seeds?

is this correct?

if so this is gonna be a pain to farm seeds, find out what they are, grow them, harvest to get 8 sacks of sugar and start all over again with farming critters to get seeds.

please someone tell me that they changed sugar cane seeds so they now give seeds besides resources since we need it for cooking up these chocolate yummies!

Sugar cane does not produce seeds. Only Sugar. The best thing to do is keep farming those Kapas.

 

[Zeke]

The best place to farm Kappas is do the Sleeping Dragon Spawn on Isamu. Take it to Level 2 quickly, then take your time killing only Kappas and looting them and you can do it non-stop for a long time. I spent maybe 45 mins to an hour and got over 120 peculiar seeds, of course only 23 were sugar cane but it's still an easy way to farm them. Watch out for stepping in their acid though cause it wrecks your suit quickly.

this is really going to slow down chocolate production.

The seeds are easy to get. The more difficult ingredient is the foil.

 

[Zeke]

Foil is very easy to get with a sampire or any dexxor. I can pull 8-10 nests at time and whirlwind/momentum strike them in a few minutes. It takes longer to loot them than to kill them. I do miss a little often since they have 130+ Wrestling but they don't do much damage, even with 20+ macaws on you. Also, I wear a luck suit and have gotten a few recipes while killing them (plus they can have some of the ingredients you need to make the chocolate.

 

[Poo]

we are skirting the issue.
with the changes in cooking with regards to chocolate they need to make sugar cane a seed producing plant so that we can farm it like we do with the cocoa and the vanilla.

There are a few things we need in a plant re-vamp.

But I don't know that they intended the nutcrackers to be all that common, since they have a rare chance at providing one of the new cards.

(Besides...all that chocolate is not good for you.)

I kind of look at it like this. I planted the nine sugar cane seeds I have, they'll take 9 days to grow one day waiting for pollenation to complete and 8 days producing seeds before I can remove them. That gives me 18 days to try to collect another 9 seeds.

 

[old gypsy]

Fortunately, it really doesn't take long to collect seeds to keep the sugar production going. My only difficulty is the foil, but that's just a natural consequence of my chosen playstyle, which is non-combative over 90% of the time.

Oh...oh MY....

 

[zamot]

I play on catskills and have 477 bags of sugar, I am pretty sure I will not be using it. anyone would like some I will exchange it for a set of cards. I also have over 1k vanilla and 1k coco pulp. Foil I have some and can get more.

inquiring minds want to know..... exactly WHAT are we coating in chocolate?

well when you say it like that it makes sense.
but then i have to actually play the game!
you and your sense making.
destroying my rant with logic!

well..... well..... you, no see here, no...... you spelt pollination wrong, ya there, see i can make a good point too!
vindication!

 

[Dot_Warner]

There is no legitimate reason that sugar cane doesn't produce seeds, and lets not magick it into a "feature" or "content." Farming kappa for a ridiculously low drop rate seed isn't "fun."

Every other resource producing plant also produces seeds, so sugar cane should as well. Remember, at one point, cocoa plants didn't produce seeds either. Then some dev realized that was stupid and changed it. Sugar cane deserves the same.

I was wondering this too.

We might be better off not to know. I heard a rumor that the goblins make it.

It's clear mentioning dipping someone in ****Chocolate**** has dazed a few people. Beats the heck out of tar & feathers and every chocolate lover will run to your rescue.

And this why I have Godiva, a tamer and her dragon Ghirardelli.
