Why do we 'destroy' stumps though? They give a resource in return for removing them, just like boulders, which have the 'chip stone' flower option. They aren't built structures, the best tool to remove them is a shovel, not a pick or sledgehammer (as potjeh pointed out).
The few friends I've actually convinced to play this game always get stumped by stumps. Their intuitive answer is to right click them just like trees, after that they try to use the 'dig' adventure action to remove stumps, and finally they ask me and i tell them 'use the destroy action, but make sure to use a shovel too'

Yes, most new player I show game to will assume it is right click option, since this is how you interact with tree. Though, boulder at least is not ''destroyed'' all in one go like stump is.ricky wrote:Why do we 'destroy' stumps though?

Re: Shovel should be selected from toolbelt when destroy stu
yeah, I think that was the original thing. No reason both can't be usable. if you dont' have a shovel, then the usually "destroy" action can be used.Ysh wrote:This way it is consistent with how you will destroy all other objects in the game.ricky wrote:yeah idk why stumps need an adventure action and not a flower menu action. it's really feels like an arbitrary decisionMagicManICT wrote:Right-click stump>"Dig up"
