Starberry seed yield bugged

[shadowwraith]

I have 3 sets starberry farms set up 1 for each type according to the yield and seed yield info for each starberry seed type

normal starberry near mould and on waxy foliage

glossy starberry near tangle on exotic foliage

juicy starberry near thorns on lush foliage

normal starberries both crop and seed values are in orange with both values being above 100% Yay!

waxy and juicy however very few have +100% values for crop but nearly all have 90% or under for seed despite being near their preferred natural block and sown on their preferred foliage type and not near their “reduced seed yield” wood types.

is there something i am doing wrong or are the seed yield values bugged for glossy and juicy starberries?

Most likely the case, all of these are very finicky about the number of air blocks next to them and the number of their preferred block. Can you post pics of the setup? Or give me some directions and I can come help you work it out

EDIT: This is my setup for juicy starberry crops for max seed output. Lush foliage in the center, 3 thorns behind the leaves 1 block away, 2 on one side and 1 on the other. Clear all other blocks from the immediate area.

This thread really helped me get mine set up right.

Seed Production

I’m a PS4 player, so just getting up to speed on farming, and have only tried the berries as of yet. I’m sure this has been discussed, but I didn’t see a post when searching. I don’t understand the reason you can’t produce more seeds than you can gather. Not looking for massive quantities, but if I plant 100 plants then I think there should be at least a way to harvest 125 seeds or better yet it I plant 1000 plants 1400 return (of course there would be variations to returns based on setup and c…

With that being said, I agree with FlippityFloop that the surrounding “air” blocks was what initially caused me issues.

I set mine up to be just over 100% seed to keep the farms going, and let the crop % just fall where it may.

You should be able to get the Juicy Starberry Seed yield up to 106% (I think that is Max).

Juicy Starberries

Glossy Starberries

and the least problematic… Normal Starberries

as you can see all 3 are setup the same to maximise seed output (especially juicy starberries since they are harder to obtain) each with their desired foliage types and their seed yield increasing mould/tangle/thorn blocks.

a 2nd setup is planned for crop output

I don’t farm and know very little about it(don’t care to know really) but looking at the screenshots of people at or over 100% they have a lot more space between their crops then you do. So that might be your problem?

[shadowwraith]

i’ve rearranged things abit and managed to get the green seed numbers, but why is it so fickle? each starberry variant seems to have reduced tolerance to adjacent blocks than the previous, normal starberry being the most tolerant and allow the most adjacent plantings, whereas juicy starberry is the least tolerant

Ever grown a garden IRL? Plants can be rather particular!

You are not maximized for Seed production on the Juicy Starberries. 108% I believe is the max. That being said…you setup is good for a middle of the road…get a berry and a high chance to get a seed.

I have mine set at 108%. If I get 2 seeds then I plant another to expand. If not I just replant the seed. The RNG for crop’s being ready is all over the place so it really does not matter plant timing.

EDIT: I saw that you did said you got the seed into the green. I was commenting on your earlier setup.
