Make pumpkins harvestable earlier

Ie in the next to last stage. Should give significantly less, maybe 20 seeds and 4 flesh. The point is to make it possible to raise their quality fast enough to keep up with livestock, because doing carrots and beets for fodder is too much tedious work.

That's actually an awesome idea.

Use beetroots. Beetroots are way better than pumpkins If beetroots arent enough then kill all your animals so you dont have to feed them anymore.

Would the earlier stage be called something like : Tiny Suchrose, or perhaps Ursine Infant?

Jokes aside, I too feel they are horribly slow, and while that might make for different metagame patterns in different parts of farming, it also sucks massive behind when trying to raise them or have any sort of orderly pattern to their harvesting.

Pumpkins give a lot more fodder per tile per day spent growing we calculated. But if they can't keep up in quality with animals, that's pointless.

They also take a lot less manhours per fodder, especially important for unsubscribed players.

Don't plant them all at the same time. Stagger planting, plant 1/10 of your field each day. That way you don't have 1 day of work every 2 weeks.

Lol dude you have no clue about efficiency do you. Doing activities in bulk will always be more efficient than seting up for eat multiple times.
