Thoughts on: Island Sanctuary - Gathering.

[Covenant]

I'd like an extra "filter" when out on the island gathering to only show the points that you want specific items. I don't mean on the map, but out on the field. Some spots are so clogged, I just want to gather from spots I want. For example, only apple trees.

I would like both this and a filter for the map. (〃⌒▽⌒〃)

Given the mechanisms for gathering on the Island, you would have to travel long distances and spend way more time collecting apples before your apple trees would respawn.

But there are other apple trees around the island outside of their big spawn area. It would be nice to be able to zero in on them on sight while flying around and to filter them on the map vs the other trees that share the same icon.

You actually gather now that you have flight? That's what I assign my Granaries to do these days. Granaries will collect All the Apples without me flying around.

Oddly enough, once you've got the Workshops doing their thing, obtaining XP from gathering is minimalized. Agriculture provides better feed for the animals, and recipes that require apples are a bit underwhelming for the workshop.

Before flight, you'd have to bounce around 3/4 of the island to hit enough apple trees to cause a respawn. Since you need to gather for XP at that point anyway, zeroing in on One Thing is a waste of travel time.

Yes, actually. (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))
I have each granary gather from an area for the whole week then move down the list to the next two areas for the next week.
I use a discord to get the optimal workshop projects for that week: the first 4 days' recommended projects are posted individually the day before (with the 1st day being a rest day), with the last 3 days' recommendations being posted on the 4th day (the second day of rest being changing depending on the week).
Apples were just an example I picked up from Covenant's post. I usually have to gather things like Laver, Rock Salt, Hemp, and Cotton (and on rare occasion Tinsand, Palm Logs, and Iron), which all seem to be commonly used materials. (੭ु˙꒳​˙)੭ु⁾⁾

I’d also like the xp to match the number of items. If a node gives 3 items, because you’ve upgraded your tools to that point, make that give 30 xp instead of 10. It’s still ridiculously low, but might shave an hour off my gathering time when I’m trying to hit the next max level! lol
