Acorn Patch
The Acorn Patch is Rodent Farm's L1 timed producer of Acorns. Its ready basket introduces the regular collection cycle, and multiple Patches contribute to class-wide Work Orders.

Production and capacity
Acorn output enters ordinary storage and follows the same capacity rule as other producers. A Storehouse expands the room available for elapsed output, while the limited Lost-and-Found Cart recovery applies only after an eligible capacity hit. Roasted Nuts are crafted output rather than Acorn Patch production.
Uses and orders
Acorns are used by ordinary construction and upgrades, the Roasted Nuts and Trail Mix recipes, selected Work Orders, and some civic contributions. A Work Order may name an amount such as "up to 20 Acorns from any Acorn Patch"; output not allocated to that capped order remains in the Stockpile.
Placement and upgrades
An Acorn Patch can be moved as part of a farm layout. Production timing resumes after the move completes. Its current inspector records any upgrade's displayed cost, prerequisite, timer, and named effect; placement and decorative arrangement do not alter its production timing.
