yes, that is the one aspect to make it slightly more difficult. start levels Blueberries and Strawberries are decent, once you get higher cook stations then the real magic happens. you can make food with 75 and 85 to health and need a lot of them so this is why they are scarce.

it does suck that the bush can be destroyed. i run around and make all the main large areas with BB and RB easy to read on map.

i think not getting seeds from planting them ok, but if it is destroyed you shud be able to plant that seed to put it back.
