Farming rework

[hegemont]

I propose implementing a new, final stadium of crops growth. It would be a stadium when the crop is overripe and the only product from harvesting it would be seeds. After being overripe for some time the crop would restart growing from seeds, but it quality would lower. It would make abandoned farm lose quality over time, as now it's too easy to gather high quality crops and seeds from old farms.

Obligatory response like : "farming is already too boring and _I_ only want to bot it cuz of it cuz I have 100 minimaps worth of crops".

Any form of decay for crops would be nice.

i wouldnt mind the seed thing that much, but crops restarting at a lower quality can go straight to hell.

They can loose their quality while, for example, they are unclaimed, or claim loose its authority.

If farm is on unplowed ground, make it lose slowly quality up to 50%?

AFAIK plowed tiles are not converting into default biome tiles in hafen, and probably even spread around at least there was such bug.

There is no need to add more pain to farming. It is already mostly annoying and boring labor in haven. For me decaying only abandoned farms would be fine.

As long as You have your farm paved around, it shouldn't convert, if has 1 square connection to wildgrass/grass. Unless someone does that do it to You or yourself. Abandoned + unplowed then?

add crows, they spawn randomly, reduce crop seed ql

build scarecrow to avoid them, buy a bigger range scarecrow on the shop

when everyone stops playing, go play Salem and suggest they implement HH farming

I'm not sure I see the point, tbt. Why is it a problem that you can scavenge somewhat profitably from ruins?

[DPblH]

Yep, you can easily trade for seeds, especially not top quality. But people want more pain in the ass: more deseases everywhere, poison, glue for everything, etc.
