I’m trying to add juniper trees, which near as I can tell have berries in varying stages of ripeness year round, but omitting harvest\_season in the terrains json definition seems to default to autumn.

`[

            ]
        }
    }
]`

Is there any way to get a tree to produce fruit in every season?

look at maple trees, apples, underbrush, blueberry bush.

shoud be a tag

Can harvest\_season accept multiple seasons or will that throw errors?

edit: that throws errors, never-mind.

EDIT, ROUND 2, FIGHT: looking at the all of the iexamine functions work lead me to believe that allowing a tree or under-brush terrain to be harvested year round and produce the same fruit would require source code tweaks. wild\_veggies spawns items from the various associated item groups, harvest\_tree\_shrub calls on the harvest\_season field (which can’t accept multiple strings), basically junipers are to weird for the harvest mechanics as implemented.

As of the latest experimental version, what I was looking to do here is now possible. All thanks to Coolthulu for his/her/potato work in the new harvest mechanics.
