Berry farmer

Berry farming is a job that can be assigned to colonists. Berry farmers will automatically plant berry bushes and harvest them for berries as long as there is a crate within range so that they can interact with the stockpile. Berry farms can be placed with the command tool in an area a maximum size of 48 blocks(8x6 or 12x4). Berry farmers will then take berry seeds and plant bushes to harvest berries from. The Berry farmer will also craft Berry Meals from the berries which the Colonists can consume as Food.

Berry farmers wear red clothing. The player has to right click a berry bush to access the limit settings.

Efficiency
Berry bushes do not grow, the farmer only picks the berries from them. The optimal farm plot sizes are 3x7 or 5x5 areas. Using larger areas will lower the effectiveness since more walking time is added for the farmer. A 1x15 area is also possible but will also add more walking time and making it less efficient.

One Berry farmer can craft enough Berry meals per day to feed himself and up to three additional colonists.
