Even on water! I've been giving the berry farms much too good land until now. Pity that the immovables doesn't include the tree grow rate help that I found in the editor... Shame too that grain crops will grow equally anywhere (but not on shores I've noticed). I guess that applies to reed and other such crops too. -- To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before Top Quote

I assumed crops would be more picky than trees, but it turned out to be the other way around. And when I learned about the trees I assumed bushes would be just like them, but it turned out to not really be true either... Top Quote

True, that would be a good feature. Plus, you would not see the percentages per ground, but per tree, which would also be interessting.

No. The game is already difficult enough, so making farming harder will not make it better. Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote

I'll get around to it eventually if somebody else doesn't pick it up first. We need to finish the current tribes/world refactoring first though - that pull request has a desyncing replay attached to it that still needs analyzing. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

I dunno if that would wreck the "balance" but it sure would make more sense and be realistic. As it is you gotta farm trees while delicate crops grow like weeds/trees do. <rolls eyes> -- To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before Top Quote
