Some of you may know me from Haven, discord, or if you are VDZ - the forums. I've been around for a long LONG time, since 2013 in fact. I've been reading the forums since about that time, and I've come to a conclusion that I think everyone will agree with because how I feel represents how you should:
Remove Farming
To keep players playing. Give them fun, challenge etc.
Farming is broken working, and isn't working as expected. This will never be fun for anyone. Just remove it.
Solution:
Neolithic humans got by just fine on a diet make primarily from meat and foraged berries, in fact, if it wasn't for this wonderful diet, we wouldn't be where we are today. You see, eating a diet mainly comprised of meat promotes muscle growth and overall adds to your alpha status. While I know the Neolithic humans were responsible for the creation of farming, it coincides with the creation of depression and agony. Let's take a page from our late ancestors and remove farming as a feature in haven since it lacks relevance in the late game when the only people left playing have 1000s in their stats. Below I will provide some more fact based evidence to further my point.
I mean, come on, when was the last time you saw a bear farming?
^^^^^Just LOOK at those thick sinewy muscles^^^^^
You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. He used 1 simple trick that 9/10 hermits don't want you to know. Not a single cultivated crop and he's built like the animal kingdom version of Thanos
Here is a quote from the Hunter-Gatherer wikipedia page:
Wikipedia wrote:Hunting and gathering was humanity's original and most enduring successful competitive adaptation in the natural world, occupying at least 90 percent of human history.
"But...but, how will I get the essential vitamins and minerals in my diet without my carrots?"
EZ
Even the most barrel chested individuals need SOME variety, I hear you. That's why we leave foraging in the game as a necessary evil, but lock even the most basic foragables behind 20,000 = PER*EXP since by that point you will understand the importance of an all meat diet and you use these nasty PLANTS as supplement to your escalating growth. Take a look at the following infographic provided by an anonymous anti-farming subscriber:
As you can see, these sentiments are shared amongst everyone in the community since 1 person agrees with me
Speaking of our community, here is some 100% real, fact based, ethically sourced data from our research
As you can see, most of the active population in the game doesn't know any better, thus our current state of affairs. But fret not, I know what is best for all of you since the voices in my head told me so! (Plus the following overwhelming evidence below)
Now that you are officially convinced, please take a second to answer this strawpull to further my delusion point: http://poll-maker.com/QESCSN8DD
