More meaningful seedbags

Postby Nightsway » Wed Apr 14, 2010 2:09 pm

First off, sorry if this has already been suggested, I searched out for a few minutes but couldn't find anything.

I was planting a fresh harvest today and found myself planting multiple types of fauna at once. I kept having to open the seedbags to check which one held what. Coupled with the lag, this got tedius quickly, to the point where I was actually dropping bags on the floor.

My suggestion is this: could there perhaps be a small image in the corner of the seedbag icon denoting it's contents? Something similar to the corner image that different meats have could be good.

I understand this might not work when it contains multiple seeds, but then the image could simply have an 'indefinite' sign, showing that the seedbag holds a variety.

Any thoughts on this?

Yes. This. Would. ROCK!

But what I'd really like to see is seedbags that can hold up to to fifty seeds of one type, and automatically spit out the highest Q seed inside the bag when clicked on.

Oh, and a "harvest-all" option.

If they could hold more that would be so handy, although it might not be very realistic since each tile holds more like 5ish seeds.

This dude has a great idea for sorting out the best seeds: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6756

Maybe the scythe tool could harvest multiple tiles at the same time. Not quite a harvest-all, but I'm betting it would save time.

Could make them work like treeplanter's pots, which show what's in them, including water, soil, and plant type. It starts out saying Treeplanter's pot (Water: 0.0/1.0l, Soil: 0/4)", and once a plant is put in it then it becomes "Treeplanter's pot (unsprouted _______)".

Could make it so seed bags are called "Empty Seedbag" until you put seeds in them, and then it will say "Bag of <seed>".
