This also involves all the stuff that you collect when you cut down trees with your axe. You can increase the skill when you collect wood, hardwood, sap and tree seeds. Increasing this skill will allow you to unlock new recipes such as crafting seeds and totems that will transport you to different places in the game.
Walkthrough:
There are a few tips that will help you level up faster and unlock new items that you can craft so that they can help you progress further in the game. The first thing that you should do is to upgrade the axe. The axe is a very important tool that you end up using every day. It is essential to get wood so that you can make buildings as well as fences that keep out weeds from your crop growing area. Upgrading the axe is really easy as well because it can be done any time as you don’t need the axe and you can easily not use it for a couple of days.
You should also keep in mind that the spawning rate depends on how much free space is available in the world. So the first thing that you should do at the start of every season is to go out in the wild and cut down all the trees and the grass that you find because that gets in the way of spawning things like wild vegetables. You should also make as many wild seeds as possible and plant and harvest them because even though you get only half the XP from harvesting them it still is a good idea because you can make seeds from just 4 plants and you get 10 in return.
Now let’s talk about all the stuff that you can unlock at every level of the skill.
- At the first level you get the ability to craft spring seeds.
- At the second level you unlock the recipe for a survival burger.
