Harvesting and verification

Survey helps locate valid harvests, Swift Gathering reduces collection time, and Meticulous Collection adds a chance for another collection cycle; it does not guarantee every drop is duplicated. Species, scene, tool bonuses, and skills can affect results. Record those details, elapsed time, every output, and the game release when testing.
