Silviculture Post

Silviculture Post is a building used to assign an A_Ratizen to tend harvested plants. The assigned worker moves around with a watering can and cares for crops in the field, helping keep plants in good condition after they have been cut.

Its watering is only a visual effect and does not consume any actual water item. Because of that, the building is especially valuable for rare, expensive, and slow-growing plants such as Joy Flower and Crystal Tree, where every bit of extra growth is worth more. If the growth bonus causes the worker to leave the post and slow down collection too much, however, the benefit drops off quickly.

For Grain and other fast-use crops, the Silviculture Post works best when harvesting is already efficient. Increasing the number of Gathering Camp buildings helps reduce collection delays, which lets the growth-speed bonus contribute more effectively. After finishing watering, the assigned worker also takes care of miscellaneous tasks, so having at least one Silviculture Post is generally worthwhile.
