Hey, so 2 different small suggestions:
1 - This one might have already been discussed, but there should be an option to remove planted crops. It has happened to everyone, planting something at the wrong place, or wrong time. At the moment all we can do is wait for them to grow, then harvest. It would be convenient to have a way to un-plant something, perhaps by using the destroy function (like on trellises).
2 - Remove the impact of seasons on caves. At the moment you cant harvest seeds from stuff like withercorn, tower caps, etc unless it's summer. Why is that? It's underground, so surely there isn't much temperature variation. Making seasons not have an impact underground (perhaps only from cave 2 onwards, to make it more realistic) would make cave hermit, and cave goods (like tower caps for wood) more viable in the winter, and encourage different types of play styles.

Underground elves steal the seeds in preparation for H&H christmas. imo they should do more, like throwing snow everywhere.Dogswards wrote:2 - Remove the impact of seasons on caves.

Ice, maybe. On L1. But snow? How?DDDsDD999 wrote:like throwing snow everywhere.

Re: Unplacing Crops & No Underground Seasons
It should obviously strat from cave-entances and mineholes and spread over mine layers

Re: Unplacing Crops & No Underground Seasons
Ideally, yes. However, that might be too hard to implement, so its probably easier to just remove seasons below level 2 as there are no natural entrances there.Enjoyment_2 wrote:It should obviously strat from cave-entances and mineholes and spread over mine layers

Re: Unplacing Crops & No Underground Seasons
#1 has been suggested many, many, many... aw screw it. I was going to put a many for every time I saw the suggestion, but it'd fill the page up. (I'm being humorous here, but it's a quite common request.)
It's a technology thing. I think the hesitancy on it is the potential for some very severe bugs.
For #2, I'd argue that if a surface cave entrance and minehole go to the exact same layer, it's deep enough underground to not experience seasons. Caves breath, but it doesn't take long for the temperatures to become constant based on depth (and volcanic activity in the area).

Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

Re: Unplacing Crops & No Underground Seasons
1. pretty sure its been debated for some time and in detail and nothing ever came of it.
2. Yeah this totally irked me about winter. The caves and especially the lower levels shouldn't really be too affected by seasonal changes so spores and shit should cycle on its on accord.

Re: Unplacing Crops & No Underground Seasons
yes, it would be much realistic if boreworms would just eat uderground trees. year-round. causing cavins in case of towercups. there's no need for seasons in caves
