I know we have syrup from sugar cane, but come on. Real maple syrup should come from tapping maple trees.

That's actually a good idea.Quote:

I LOVE this idea!
I would like more trees...kinda...it's just the saws issue. But I'd like the OPTION to be able to get other trees.Quote:

Maybe these trees could not die? :D Yeah, I know, not likely to happen, but we can dream.
I think a maple tree that is similar to the bee tree would be great. It could be available after the tea machine and at first it has only one tap and as you collect sap you master it to get up to 4 taps. This way the tree never dies and no saws are needed. A machine such as a big campfire with a large cooking pot would be needed to boil down the sap to make maple syrup and maple sugar which is then used to make candy, cake, cookies, etc.
ehrmz... the only difference is maple. I could suggest beet. Beet sugar, beet brown sugar, beet sirup.... Then we get 3 sorts of sugar, sirup and .... And yet another stove. We already got sugar and syrup and it's yummee.
I really think this is not adding anything to the game :D
Nope. There is no substitute for real maple syrup.
But our current syrup is just "syrup"...sugar and water is all that is needed for simple syrup. Our current product "syrup" is used for items that don't require maple-type syrup. The pixels of the syrup being brownish could be interpreted multiple ways, including container color rather than contents color. Since there is no "maple" attached to the current syrup product, it is a false assumption SC has erred in not providing maple trees. While many people enjoy maple syrup, it is by far not the only type of syrup in the world and not even the tastiest syrup for traditional syrup-topped items (such as pancakes) in the opinions of all people. So, while it would be fun to tap a maple tree for syrup production, maple syrup would not be as universally usable as our current, basic syrup product. Other syrups might be incorporated as niche products, however. All of our current fruits could flavor a syrup but would they find enough use to be worth production and storage of these specialty syrups?
