Foraging for people who get goods, but want excellent/incredible

So obviously if you're getting good most of the time you have the basic strategy down. Here are the things you may or may not know about foraging scoring.
1) The single biggest thing you can do to increase your score is to clear 2 or more big chests at once. The bigger the chests, the better the reward.
2) If clearing one chest leads to a clearing of another, it's a smaller bonus than if you clear them at the same time
3) If you're playing for a long time, you're doing it wrong. Each foraging session only takes me 2-3 minutes. There is a slight time bonus the faster you do it, just make sure that you don't get chests stuck so that you're waiting forever for a machette.

Thats all for now

once apon a time i cleared one small chest and got incred. Though i've gone down from leg to about renowned which sucks.

I think foraging is alive, it always knows what piece you need and never gives it to you, or does but in the wrong place.

I hate puzzles with a mind of their own.

I want proof of this!!!

Every other puzzle in this game works the other way... like swords... break one color which then in turn breaks another and so on... a combo.

From my experience foraging works the same... clearing 2 chests at the same time... both at the bottom and get cleared and drop together is just like breaking two colors at the same time in swords.. ye get a little bonus for it

But if those two chests are stacked and one drops right after the other then the bonus is greater... refers to the swords again like said above... break one color which then in turn breaks another and so on.

Having said that tho... there are times when i have almost used up my labour (only have 1 or 2 fruits left to forage) and i do like normal and it comes up with an unrated game

and some of my alts stats fall when that happens....now speed isn't really an issue when playing it... i play poker with wicked and forage alts at the same time.. sometimes that alt will be on that puzzle for 1/2 hour and still get an incred... so it isn't speed...

this puzzle is all about using the least amount of moves to clear the chests!!

This is just what I've found, based on my experience foraging. Also, pausing the puzzle probably doesn't affect the time limit. Thirdly, that post was written right when foraging came out and they have updated it like 3-4 times since then so th scoring might have changed.

in other words, they've changed it so i suck now.
