How many Arborists do you need for 200 people?
Honestly,
It depends what stage you are. usually around that stage there could be a lot of building. The arborists takes about 30 labor per tree and it could take a while. I would say one or two arborist is good, but I also don’t like the arborist too. This is cause you have to pay attention to rebuild the tree once they pass their life times ( I haven’t really explored if there is an automatic feature.) I’ve notice Apple tree are the least taxing and don’t die as fast as peach trees. You do need an arborist though imo as your colony needs fruits (Prevents scurvy)

Wow… I thought the description seemed to be saying they took care of it all.

I have 5 for 600+ people.
Usually i run out of fruits before the next season of harvest and the food preserver gets idle.
Ima think of building about 2 more soon.
Its all about feeling. Think about how much your food storage lasts throughout the year and youll find out. If you can pass a whole year with what you produced in the last, you are doing great.
Of course the excess should be traded.

1 for 60 people seem to be a decent number (imo).
Just image checking a hundred of them when you’re town becomes a city.
Related to arborists: when do you get the ability to plant fruit trees? I had an arborist, and got to T4 with my Town Center, and never saw any ability to plant fruit trees. Either the arborist can be built long before you get to produce fruit trees, which is silly, or I’m missing something?
You have to click on the Arborist hut
I tried that; didn’t see 'em. Maybe a glitch for that session. I’ll try again and see if it shows up. Thank you.
Ah. So that’s what it’s supposed to look like. Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time.

Don’t forget, you can move the arborist’s circle so you can fit 2 more trees where the building sits.

I tried two arborist per work area and the trees have to be replace more often … so maybe just stick to one unless you want to manage it
