What is confirmed
- Berry bushes yield crops continuously on the same tile after you pick them.
- Berries and onions can run concurrently on the same island, as demonstrated in DV Plays' dual-farm recording.
What is not confirmed
What is missing. The following technical details were not read in the material: - The required number of harvesters per berry plot - The precise placement of harvesters and conveyors relative to bushes - The unit sale price of a single harvested berry Do not copy machine configurations directly from onion farm blueprints without testing.
Test it on one layer
- Maintain your existing water pump, conveyor belt, and central chest setup.
- Replace the crops on a single farming tier with berry bushes rather than converting your entire island.
- Observe one full production cycle to confirm that bushes fruit repeatedly and drops reach the chest.
- Record your total berry yield across several cycles to determine actual collection rates.
If berries fail to reach the chest, inspect water coverage and belt alignment before buying additional harvesters. Adding machinery never fixes an unwatered bush.
When berries are the wrong choice
- You need manufacturing parts: If you need gears or iron ingots to assemble new factory equipment, mining drills provide those resources, not fruit bushes.
- You have limited space: Converting plots before verifying berry prices risks lowering your income compared to known onion lines.
- You expect identical onion geometry: Harvester pickup zones for bushes were not documented, making wholesale conversions risky.
