💡 Strategy

Pro Tip: Use Pine Tar mainly for crafting; Oak Resin and Maple Syrup are usually more profitable tapper products.

Keep a few Pine Trees tapped for Pine Tar but focus groves on Maple (syrup) or Oak (resin).
Pine Cones are useful for mass-planting tree farms or making Field Snacks.
Harvest Pine Tar in advance for crafting recipes like the Loom and Rain Totem.
