Increases to harvesting of our backyard trees

Given that there will always be tree imbalances in the game world, and that many of us plant trees in our backyards for items that we need more of/use a lot, would it be possible for the number of daily harvests of trees that we own in our backyards to be more than one set of harvests per game day?  Or could we have that tree harvesting tool  (mentioned in another thread) that constantly picks ripe items from our trees (though I don't know how this might affect the wood trees), and lets us come and empty a collector like we do now for the milk and meats?

I typically plant trees that we don't have many of in my immediate region (in the meadows, I had wood, bubble and gas trees; now that I'm in Alakol, I have wood, fruit and spice trees), but with only one harvest, it really doesn't gain me a whole bunch.   There needs to be some more of an added benefit to having the trees in your own backyard.

  • My hubby (Hank Tudor) had the thought that perhaps an additional skill on the trees could be added: Once you learn that, you could then harvest more times (or more items per tree). Or to go off your idea, as with Remote Herdkeeping, perhaps there could be Remote Green Thumb, with collectors.

  • Thanks for adding that RM...I was thinking it as I was typing, but forgot to say something to that effect.

  • Will love remote harvesting. I need spice and cherries a lot, which is why I have them in my yard and would love if I get more.

  • Agree with this. The in-house trees are closer, better cared and, of course, are in our houses. They should give us at least more fruit -if not, there's not really a big reason to have trees, the quantity is so low that most of the times you need to go to harvest wherever it is to do any important action in the game. +10
