New way to get straw.

Post by SacreDoom »

Hello!

Used the search button, couldn't find anything on this...


The wild growing "straw" in moor areas should have an option to be harvested, this would result in fresh straw, filling 2x2 inventory space. This can be dried on a herbalist's table or a drying rack. It takes 24 IRL hours to dry on a Herbalist's table, and 48 IRL hours on a drying rack. When dried it results in one amount of Q 10 straw, this method will ALWAYS result in Q 10 straw.

I think this would be a good idea for newbies to gather straw, because it's way easier, but takes more time, and results in a low Q product. Normally, newbies don't care about quality at the very start of the game, anyway :P .


That's all for now...
:)

Tentatively agreeing. I'd love to have a better newbie way of getting ahold of straw than drying dozens upon dozens of wild windsown weeds and hoping, praying that one of them will finally produce a wheat seed for once, so that I can stick it in the ground and wait 48 hours to get a piece of straw.

I kind of agree. It sucks that I can't even force through my mansion project, but instead absolutely *have* to wait for wheat to grow.

It should be called hay, not straw.

I'll leave that to the devs if they decide to add it.

a foraged straw substitute would be great but i don't think there's any reason to have it take more than 1 tile or be dried and the quality should be based on soil q softcapped by survival like every other herb

That'll make it too easy to get. The idea is that this method shouldn't replace wheat totally, cuz it's much easier to get.

the thing about wheat is you can plant it. foraged stuff requires actually foraging for it.
