“Get pigs,” they said. “It’ll be fun!” they said.

I did not consider the amount of slime I’d need to make an approximate buttload of Oil Makers. So I got a slime hutch, but getting attacked when I try to harvest the slime is not fun. Now I’m tryna grind 1000 slime kills to get the Slime Charmer Ring… It’s a whole thing.

Freakin’ pigs. Perhaps I should abandon this endeavor and go back to building my Ancient Fruit wine empire.

  1. You can never have to much trufles or ancient fruit plants I have 1,2k plus ancient fruit

  2. Nobody said they’re fun. Good money makers is what they are.

    Get botanist profession and sell iridium truffles. Almost as much profit, way less work.

    If you’re absolutely determined to make oil presses, get the slime gatherer enchantment for your weapon.

    EDIT: it also looks like you need more barns 😀

    If you get the foraging profession or whatever, you get iridium truffles which are worth more than truffle oil. Then you don’t have to bother with the machines.

  4. If your profession for foraging gives you iridium truffles, then there’s not really a need to hold on to them as the increase from processing is trivial.

    Additionally, fence in your animals for a more controlled harvest. Easier to walk in a line back and forth once to collect 40 truffles than walk like a fly erratically trying to get out a closed window that lies between two open ones.

  5. I gather approx 200 truffles a day, I tend to wait until all other chores are done and the pigs are heading back inside their barns to make it easier!

    Your pigs are working harder than my actual real-life boss at this point lol. enjoy the millions of gold!

    I honestly sell my truffles as is since they are all iridium quality. No one says you HAVE to make oil out of them

  8. Truffle shuffle!!
    I just ship them raw. The gain from converting to oil is not worth the time for me 

  9. Last playthrough I ditched all my pigs and got two barns worth of sheep with golden animal crackers. Still hit perfection by Year 4. 

    You don’t need to min/max, especially if it’s not fun

    I always put my pigs in a pretty small, separate pen so I don’t have to run all over the farm to pick up the truffles.

  11. I can literally hear the ‘squish’ sound effect in my sleep just looking at this. the worst part isn’t even picking them up, it’s realizing you forgot to craft enough oil makers and now your shed is just a truffle storage unit for the next 3 seasons.

  12. I don’t bother with truffle lol. Just pick up the (iridium quality) truffles and sell. Easy money.
