What its body gives

What the corpse gives, with no buff, a tea, a pie and the strongest mix
Resource	No buff	+ Pure Harvesting Tea+55% for 20 min	+ Survivor's Pie+150% for 5 min	+ Survivor's Pie + Rich Bear Pie+262.5% for 2.5 min
Bone Fragments	30	47	75	109
Cloth	5	8	13	18

Harvesting Tea: Basic +35%, Advanced +45%, Pure +55%, Milky +55%, Creamy +65%. A Survivor's Pie and a Harvesting Tea replace each other, so eat one. A Bear Pie multiplies either by 1.5 (Rich Bear Pie: 1.75) but burns it 2× as fast. Tea and pie combos compares every mix. A better tool only harvests faster.
