Emptying a tree pot.

Please add a small delay before a tree pot can be emptied. Right now, to plant a tree you have to open the pot menu, and it’s way too easy to misclick and empty it instead. And that pot might have your most valuable seed in it! This just happened to me, and I’m really upset.

Garden pot got this fixed somewhat recently IIRC, can you think of any other items/object with the same issue?

Done it twice this world, can confirm it stings. Wouldn't mind a slight delay.

But that should be the end of it, no more safe railing delays on other actions for the sake of protecting clumsiness and accidental stupidity!

Otherwise we'll soon reach "OK/Cancel" confirmations on taking each individual cheese tray out of cheese rack. Because "wHaT iF i DiDn'T wAnT tO tAkE iT oUt iT lOsT aLl PrOgReSs It WaS mY bEsT cHeEsE waaah waaah"

But yeah, destroying a sprouted tree is way too easy and smooth now, needs a speedbump.

POV: you try to exit the dungeon with eight white beavers on your tail as a window pops up: "are you sure you want to exit the dungeon? if yes, type EXIT DUNGEON" :twisted:

I mess up pretty often — like mixing up the contents of two barrels, or taking tobacco off the herbalist’s table before it’s fully cured. That’s on me being clumsy, and honestly you can make mistakes at almost every step in this amazing game. It’s a life lesson.

But with the tree pot, the consequences are way harsher. Imagine you bought an expensive, high-quality seed, made mulch from your best bear… and then accidentally emptied the pot. :lol: :lol: :lol: (Hysterical laughter)

That's why I conceded that the delay is a +1 for me. Although, for a described situation... I sometimes trip over stuff when I carelessly walk the Earth watching birds chirping. But if I am walking a narrow plank between two skyscrapers, I will watch my step very, very carefully, birds or no birds. I.e. there are mistakes that are annoying and mistakes that are more punishing, but if you make a mistake out of clumsiness when the stakes are that high, well...
