Uses for Bird Nests

Bird Nests are the best source of many important seeds for different parts of the game:

There is also an Elite Difficulty

Township

Task that requires 1,000k (one million) Bird Nests.

These statements combined mean that if the player is to complete all of the required township Tasks while starting from nothing, approximately 1,561,000 Bird Nests must be acquired. Bird nests are a particularly volatile resource, under normal circumstances it may seem impossible to collect enough in a reasonable time frame, but this guide will explain the best ways to focus on getting these items to make the grind as painless as possible.

Chopping Logs With Bird Nests Potions

Requirements

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 10
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 1

Please note: Although the minimum requirements are low, using Bird Nest Potion IV and minimum action time are advised or else the acquisition rate drops dramatically.

Method

Cut Normal Logs to obtain Bird Nests, as these have the fastest default cut time. The goal is to perform actions at the minimum interval allowed by the game, 0.25 seconds, or 4 actions per second.

Note: If any trees of a higher level can be cut at 0.25s, feel free to cut those in addition or instead of the Normal Logs. Do not cut any other logs unless you need them for some other goal as doing so can significantly increase the action time, which decreases the amount of Bird Nests gained over time.

Selling any excess logs and Bird Nests for profit is a decent Money Making strategy.

A portion of the nests can be opened for Potato Seeds to make more potions if required.

How to Achieve Min Interval (0.25s)

The primary difficulty in maximizing bird nest farming is reducing interval as much as possible. Several methods are listed below

The results were determined by using this save followed by the execution of game.testForOffline(1000) from the browser console. To run offline progression for 1,000 hours, a script which extends the maximum offline time beyond its usual limits or a modification to the getOfflineTimeDiff function must be used.
