Secrets of The Hearth

Oh yes tea because a noob that spawns in the middle of a pine forest will have as number one priority in the world finding and planting tea harvesting it making herbalist tables to dry it a cauldron to boil it pots to use it get water for all of it all the while he can eat ehm roots...

yeah but you were talking about farming, which implies you're a bit more advanced

[Chakravanti]

not advanced enough to be exempt from hunger problems.

[Slootboos]

There are players that don't feel like obsessing over cheese and grinding stamina. Those players probably liked farming.
I liked that you had a choice-- and that hand-plowing may have slowed you down to a crawl, but you could still get shit done, kinda.
You had to wait until your stamina bar was a bit full to make linen and grind flour. But plow? C'mon. That has to get done to replant. It's completely necessary.
Could you at least make us not to hungry from plowing? Or drinking water? I don't have tea. I only have wheat, carrots, grapes, and poppies. I can make wine... ? Doesn't help.

Fix the combat system (people want that) and leave this alone, until you make a magic class that doesn't require stamina.
Everyone's going to be even more cookie-cutter now...

slootboos do you actually plow all your fields by hand and crawl around them instead of using a plow

Hand plowing fields was far more hunger efficient (assuming one had a sizable field or was paving/grassing a sizable area) than using a wooden plow before this nerf. So yes, I imagine he did.

I'm playing with a new char and I'm plowing fields just fine using my *drumroll* wood plow. If you are starving to death, you are doing it wrong. There is fishing, there are apple trees, there are bunnies, there are mulberry trees. If you don't have an apple tree, did you consider finding one?

[Chakravanti]

Not everyoen is in reasonable proximity to regular forests. As apple and mulberry trees take aeons to grow outside tehm the most critical period of a newbie's life may encumbered by this. Also, it's really fucking stupid that newbies should have to fuck apple trees so much but that's something else we've covered dozens of times elsewhere.

Anyway the lifting of Hearthfires should not leave theft scents if they are in your own village.

you can plow like 10 tiles with a wood plow for the amount of stamina you burn handplowing 1 tile

[warrri]

Actually handplowing took only 0,1% per tile + the initial 100%.

Yep...and then 40 tiles later you have to go chop down a tree, chop wood blocks or dig up a stump to repair...then go back to plowing to do it again 50 tiles later and on and on
Totally fucktarded
