The patch was not so great for me
Because of this change I started loosing quality for my main crops.
Since around me are only abandoned villages I am the best farmer around.
With "change quality randomly in the range from -2 to +2" because my best seeds did not get equal or better resuls (I planted two separate batches 5 hours apart to have better changes but probably had bad luck) I got a drop in my best quality.
Since my best quality now changed for worse I will need now good luck to go back to what I had.
To improve crop quality I do not see many chances with this system.
To keep the carrots I grow for animals at same quality now I have to also plant multiple areas 5 hours apart. If I have time. If I do not... I will loose quality.
So no more quality growth for animals. To hell with them since I did not had many anyway.
But wait... I used those carrots for mulch (I did not put much resources in my hunter and not much time in hunting) and the hemp (not flax because I got some 100q hemp from a floatsam) for herbalist table.
So no more quality growth for trees. Actually, since best seeds are limited in number only a bit of bad luck and I will loose quality.
But who wants to get to something like 150q trees anyway, right?
Hmm, without good trees quality what happens to my metal quality?
At this point does it really matter for me?
What I mean is that for me as a hermit that is surrounded by abandoned villages my chances to grow suddenly dissappeared.
I will either
- start playing more hours (I wish but you know RL?)
- move to a village that will not kill me instantly. And leave my hard work behind? My brickwall, my lvl 4 mine ? I almost gathered enough tar for a dock
- start making bots for everything. Easy-peasy
