#### Wood trees rules check

Hello,
I am grinding the "pet and wet the wood trees" badges, and this is just to check whether I am missing some intel. For what I understood, the routine for Wood trees is:
* Get it fully blossomed (4 branches)
* Harvest x 2 (goes to 3 branches)
* Pet + Wet x ? (is it time-related?) until 4 branches again
* Repeat
Now, my question is: do you know of any way to shorten the time between the 2 harvesting (loooong...), and/or the Pet&Wet? And is my routine right?

- I just did that achievement! I think it's pet + wet 6 times, but I could be wrong because I kept forgetting to keep track.
  The only way I found to shorten the process was to get someone else to assist - I could only harvest once a day, so if I did it myself it would take 2 glitch days to harvest and maybe 1 or 2 to pet + wet; if a keyholder came over and harvested as well, it would eliminate that extra day.

- Fertilidust (lite). Really the most useful application of those powders. One or two trees, use the lite. Bunches, use the good stuff.

- This is about the badge, though, where one has to do it manually, if I'm not mistaken.

- Yes, it must be done manually
  It takes 5x pet+water, and 5 minute cooldown between p+w
  Best done at home so you can sit in decoration mode between p+w, eg paying bills
  The only way to speed things up is to have friends help chop

- Thanks for the answers, guys...
  Now I'm only wondering why TS did design these extreme grinds for at all - to bore us out of our minds? (yes, I know they are not obligatory, yet I don't have much more left to do...).
  I am also grinding the Paul Bunyons badge, and the "fast" cycle of grow/poison/chop/grow is existentially depressing...

- From my days of grinding this badge: If you happen upon a wood tree at 3 branches and you only have to pet/water once to get it to 4 branches, it counts.
  Also, it pays to work the serious wood route, there were a few times I could find a street where all trees were on 3 branches and sit on the street and knock out 7-10 trees in one go.

- Badges are supposed to just show up over time, and grinding for them is something which we do mainly because the game is still lacking content. Personally, I don't grind for badges unless it's something I'm going to enjoy doing and/or something which doesn't take much effort, like racing a cubimal until it travels a long way, or going AFK in my house for the died-at-home badge. This means that most badges are a pleasant surprise, and I don't start to hate wood trees or whatnot.

- To glums point, I like doing this. I. still grind (play?) it just for fun. With the 5 minute delay I would just do this as a passive gameplay, e.g. reading a book etc.
  I also ended up with over 16000 planks, which if turned into beams (also a great passive activity), are worth a good deal of currants.

- Sometimes I grind for badges, sometimes I do other things. Neither is because the game is lacking content.
