Tree Tap problems.

Tree tap from Maples in spring worked fine, but when trying it at fall on Pine Trees it failed.

First time i tryed it in fall it consumed the tree tap, but gave me nothing back. I did it on 20 trees. I tryed clicking in the next days, to see if maybe the Pine Tree Sap used longer time. But nothing happened when clicking the trees.

After a week or so I tryed to use new tree tap on the same trees.

This is the message showing (same as i get in spring when trying to use it on a tree that have allready given me Maple Sap)

Hey there sorry about that. I found the source of the problem and fixed it. It’s strange because I tested it before patching and it worked, which means I must have changed the code again after testing, sorry about that. This will be fixed in the patch on Friday.

However, based on your message I’m not sure if I’m understanding correctly. So what I saw on my end was the first time I tapped a pine tree it would use up a tap, and I would get nothing. If I tried to use a tap on the tree again I would get the message “I should wait a few day”, which is correct since you did tap the tree, its just sap didn’t spawn because of the bug. Now, what I’m wondering is could you ever tap any of those trees again after the initial failure? It takes 4 days for a tree to become tappable again by the way. I could tap them again after 4 days (I still didn’t get sap, but a tap was used up). Basically I’m trying to discern if you encountered a second bug where the trees became permanently tapped because that would obviously be bad.

I am sorry i didnt time it. So it might have been shorter then a week after tapping. Maybe i mixed up how many ingame days it was between since i often sleep just to get full energy, and wasnt thinking on how many days past. Was just an idea to retest if i got sap again. Had i know i was gone do that I would have counted days. Sorry

I can't retest it right now, since I am on the last days on fall. But i will try to remember to test it next time i get to fall. The most importent was that i didnt get anything from my first tap.

No worries, it isn’t a big deal. Looking at the code I don’t think it’s an issue, but if it comes up again I can likely deal with it easily enough. Thanks for checking into this though, it’s appreciated.
