1.6 Update Where do you like to place your mushroom log grove?

[Narwhal_7]

I have heard of placing them at train station before, but are there any other ideas?

It depends. On most farm maps I place the mushroom log grove on the farm, wherever it seems to fit. Sandy part on the Beach farm. West of the big pond on the Forest farm. Same landmass as farmhouse on Riverland farm. And so on.

On the Hilltop farm map, there's not enough space for a decent grove, so I put it up at the railroad, marking the path Sebastian likes to walk with different paving so I knew to not put any logs there... again.

You could also put it in the quarry, split it up around the mountain lake, or even put one on Ginger Island once you've got access to it. I would recommend placing an indicator log on your farm if you have the grove off the farm. Indicator tapper trees if you're tapping the trees in the grove as well and want to make sure you don't miss that harvest too often.

Plus 1 for the quarry and railroad, they're great contiguous areas, the quarry is really accessible through the minecart, and the train station gets 'closer' once you unlock the mountain obelisk, but isn't too bad, especially if you put stuff up in the backwoods and make in a nice loop.

I put them on the farm, because otherwise I'll just forget about them

Same with me. It's hard enough to remembet GI sometimes

Which is why I put an indicator, an oak with a mushroom log, on the farm. The oak and its tapper marks when the oaks and mystic trees off the farm have full tappers, and the mushroom log beside it marks when to harvest mushrooms.

This is what I've done, too, first time ever. But I don't have much crops on GI right now, just a few longlasting, like Starfruit. So I check every now and then and it's enough so far. Will be more when I have the Island Obelisk and can get there easier. And morning routine is also checking the Farm Computer, that helps, too.
