Lower plow field Stamina threshold to 10 or 15%

[AnnaC]

I'm sick of getting task cancelled with this; at 25% there is more than enough stamina left to COMPLETE the current tile you're plowing, yet it denies you this and forces you to restart the entire tile again. You can't plow more than 2 tiles at once without drinking water, but if it was 15% before it auto-cancels; perhaps even at 20%, you could complete the third tile task. You'd still go through the same amount of water, and have the same stamina drain, but you wouldn't have to stop mid-stamina bar just to take that extra gulp of water just to complete the next task, which wastes time and disrupts the rythym of the project.

I like building roads and trails, and also I like to plant random crops in the wilderness; things that often require single tile plowing by hand, and constantly having this third task cancelled greatly wastes time and adds extra mouseclicks.

I don't mind the stamina drain on this or the usage of water; what I dislike is the fact that I can't complete a third task in a single sitting of stamina because the threshold cancels it prematurely, when you'd still have probably 15%+ after that third task.

Edit: After more thorough study on the subject, a 20% threshold would be much more balanced, and it would still "fix" this issue.

Oh god, oh god.. yes, please! I know your pain after building my highway..... so much plowing :tear:

Actually, just make it like mining so that if you can't finish the job, then don't even start. Would be nice to see the threshold lowered, though. It only takes 15or 20% stamina to hand-plow a tile, so it should stop at lower than 25%.

I concur so hard it's insane.

Yes, this. If you can keep plowing with a plow until you hit 10% (but can't start below 30%), why not without a plow. SO MUCH frustration.

I understand, but I thought this was what shovels were for.

[AnnaC]

Does this not happen with shovels? I'm not asking for less stamina drain per action I'm just asking for cutoff for it to be lowered since it cancels an action even if the action is already 75%+ completed and there is more than enough stamina left after the task completes).

I understand, but I thought this was what shovels were for.

Shovels don't apply a bonus to plowing. That's what plows are for. Shovels only apply a speed bonus to digging.

According to this, it is good for hand plowing, which I was assuming the OP is talking about.

I've never noticed it, but then, the only time I hand plow is because I missed one spot or it'll take more effort to haul the plow over. The only other reason anyone hand plows that I'm aware is to burn up stamina, then there's a dozen ways to do that just as effectively.
