yes i have learned alot since i put in this post & i have found you can't depend on the berries always being the same amount all the time, it changes due to too many factors(weather,amount on bush....etc.)i have had diffrent amounts of berries picked & it can be (according to the day i counted the berries put in bin)2-303 maybe even more.on each level you also start picking diffrent amts,easy you pick 14-normal you pick 11 1st basket (then it drops to 10)-hard starts the same as normal.now this is on my game & i don't know if this is so on all games.i sat up most of monday night counting & wrighting down the amount of each basket on the 3 diffrent games at the start, on 1 it went down very slowly on an other it wes every 9th basket it went down 1.so berries are one item that is verry random i don't think it can be monitered .i did check the red mushrooms & so far i found them to be 45 food points ,it could change like the berries but i don't think they will but i'll keep an eye on them.sorry for my misstake about the berries. but i'm not giving up yet on trying to figure out how the berries are caculated.
