Remove weed option

Post by Agarrett »

There should be an option to remove weeds without having to leave a plow mark in its place. It would take minimum stamina, about as much as digging one clay, wouldn't give any LP and takes about 7 seconds to remove one weed. This would be so much more convenient and a lot better looking.

Convenient? You'd have to do it almost every day. Weeds come back fast.

You have to plow everyday anyways. This just removes the time of getting the plow, and the annoyance of getting plowed tiles all over the place.

plowed tiles regenerate randomly, for me they seem to come back at the worst possible times. When I farm it comes back within a day, but when I'm waiting for one to de-plow for construction, one stayed for a week D:<

You can plow without a plow anyway. If you don't want plowed tiles plant grass or lay stone. Who wants that rotten bare earth look anyway?

I don't have enough seeds and it would take too long anyways.

We are getting off topic here. The idea is that the option to rip a plant out of the ground without having to plow that tile would be fairly simple to implant and is just simply better. What is wrong with this idea if it improves gameplay?

I guess that tiles don't actually have a weed presence variable, and the presence of weed is determined by the tile's coordinates. Sure, it just takes a boolean variable to decide on presence of weed on an individual basis, but even 1 bit variables add up to a lot when there's as many tiles as we have in H&H. That, and variable bloat is generally something to be avoided.

Look man, if you don't like ferns, don't live in the forest. It's that simple.
Surprise.
