Gathering

 Gathering is one of the Work Suitability skills a pal can have. Pals with this ability are able to harvest drops crops.

Overview

Pals possessing this suitability are capable of performing work at Berry Plantations, Wheat Plantations, Lettuce Plantations, and Tomato Plantations, which produces crops that can be eaten or cooked into Food. They will also pick up items that spawn on the ground of the base and harvest Berry Bushes.

Pals with higher levels of Gathering will have a faster Work Speed at stations which use the suitability.

You can throw them at a Red Berry Bush or deploy them at a base to work on a plantation. Gathering pals are best used when combined with  Watering and pals for them to maintain the plantations without manually having to work them yourself.

Values

Crop farming

Planting, Watering and Gathering all scale exactly the same, ~x2 per Lv. Gathering also adds +5 Yield every Lv.

Plantation		Level	1	2	3	4	5
Crop	Growth (s)	Load / speed	70	150	300	500	1000
Berry	90	45	64	30	15	9	5
Wheat	135	75	107	50	25	15	8
Tomato	180	225	321	150	75	45	23
Lettuce	225	450	643	300	150	90	45

Planting, Watering and Gathering all have the same workload for each crop. The workspeed is the same for each level for Planting, Watering and Gathering. A full cycle's total time is time * 3 + growth time. All time in seconds.

Crop yield

Suitability	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5
Yield	10	15	20	25	30

(Gathering level gives +5 yield)

Important to note that a higher level gatherer boosts the yield for the entire session. Once a level 4 gatherer collects from a plantation, the yield remains 25 for subsequent gatherers until logout, regardless of their level. The gathering time remains unchanged, and the level 4 gatherer only needs to work the field for the boost to apply, it does not need to complete the gathering stage.
