Farming area planting mechanic

Post by Granger »

Can we get the same algorythm that does the harvesting (next closest plant) for the planting (instead of the current 'walk the fixed grid'), please?

Would be possible, but why? I mainly just implemented them differently because it was fun, but I haven't really seen that either has any advantages over the other.

Because the current fixed planting path is massively inefficient when working on partly grown (thus only partially harvested) fields, it also sucks when you have hives in the middle of the field (which isn't that big of a problem for the harvest code as that works around the obstacle instead of wanting to pass directly through it)
