I don't think that's the problem.
Well maybe half of it. But i blame the game for performing worse than other games.
The problem doesn't appear with other crops. Just the dense wheat.
The ones who see things differently.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

This is true. Also, no offence to Jorb, but I think the menu could be downsized a bit. Would be less to render, and would look prettier :P

What I'd suggest is shrubbery and flowers-something ornamental. I know it may sound a little silly, but I'd like to be able to landscape our village and plant roses... while we're not at war that is ;) . Bushes could be used as fences. They'd be easy to destroy, but look nice and maybe give some berries. You could make tea with some flowers.

Hear hear! Sure, flax is nice and all, but I'm getting a little sick of blue, and the roadside flowers all get pulled up whenever we make banners. ;)

Both shrubbery, ornamental flowers, hedges, secret herbs, mosses and other kinds of trees will all be coming eventually, so you need not worry about that. :) However,

Sacrilege! Over my dead body!

Jesting aside, it would be quite fun, though. I'm not sure just what effects it would have, but maybe it could, at least, be a drain for old tea once we get around to implement food decay.

Yeah, it's an interesting idea :) . I make dandelion tea sometimes.

Oh, I forgot to mention, though; if we do implement floral teas, then making them will always leave a Vandalism clue around. Or rather, probably ten of them, spread around in an area. And pop up a global server message, so that the vigilantes will now to track you down. ;)

(Note to self: How wonderful it is with making games, that you're able to correct these viler aspects of reality)

If I was laughing pretty hard when I read Loftar's post, I nearly fell out of my chair when I read Lare's. Yes, it's true. But don't worry, it doesn't mean I haven't built trebuchets and rockets too as I'm sure you well know.
