When To Care
Care about Truffle when its downstream system is active: materials, automation, or animal products. It is more useful with a clear storage destination than mixed into crop overflow.
Practical Use
Truffle should be planted or collected around a short water route. Keep seed stock separate from cooking ingredients, because one accidental cooking session can consume the crop base that was supposed to expand the field.
Related Strategy
For crop planning, expand only when water and harvesting time are already comfortable. A small field that gets watered every day beats a large field that stalls because the route is annoying.
Common Mistakes
- Do not expand Truffle planting faster than your watering route can support.
- Do not mix seed stock with cooking ingredients; keep a reserve so one meal-prep pass cannot wipe out future planting.
- Do not ignore weather. Rain helps, but storm protection and harvest timing matter once a crop is valuable.
