I don’t think it will be that bad, but it is very hard to say and give good opinions about how stuff should be done when there is very little information at this time.
I can see why there’s a “jump”.
New players are using their first hammers, some maybe not even forged. They are also not going to have all of the skills needed for a “miner”. They also probably don’t use very many brews/mega brews just yet.
An “endgame” player can get so many, because they know where to find the gems and how. They have the best equipment they can make or buy. They have the brews they need, along with a “miner” skill page/character.
There seems to be a difference, because a new player and an “endgame” player are very different players in different points of the game.
I don’t expect a new player to right away blow through shedu with the best forged hammers available, a “miner” page/char, and brews.
They don’t need to “balance”. There is nothing wrong. “Endgame” players can get more things more efficiently with quantity. And new players are…new so it will take them some time to get what they need.
reading over alot of the posts i see a lot of “set the time high then tweak it” normally i would agree but in this case i think the devs need to set the right time on the first go this thread is at 270+ posts cuz so many people are starving for things to do and for the update to release then to build your farm and see the thing you planted is going to take 5+ days to grow i think a lot of people at that point would just uninstall the game keeping in mind that any tweaks to the timer would take attest a week to happen with no guarantee that it would be better.
I’d argue it’s less about starving for things to do and more starving for information, but information isn’t easy to give because things change and then people are upset when it’s not delivered like they thought it was going to be
E: basically I think the majority of us are going to be happy regardless, some of us are just more cautious in different respects.
People want information so they can plan and prepare for it. That’s why there’s so many posts cause they want more info and growing times are irrelevant on their own without that extra information.
Also, people aren’t going to immediately uninstall if there’s a growing time of 5 days for a higher tier item. That isn’t how it’s going to go down.
Most of us on here have far more than 60ish hours in game since release. I’d be surprised if anyone actively playing the game would uninstall because a few high end crops take a few days to be ready to harvest. And new players won’t be worried about those things, they will be busy with the lower end crops.
Let’s not forget people are going to have a lot of block changing to do when farming drops. Color change concepts are on the way. Plenty of distraction while the farm grows!
I’m sincerely hoping the machine also has a chisel slot and will auto-change the inserted blocks.
Something like this , yes. I’d suck a little less at building if I could just craft precut blocks. I know the chisel lets you mold as you go and what not but my mind just has a hard time with that. For me, it’d be easier if I could craft x amount of pre-chiseled blocks. Hell Id buy em even but it’s just not an option in the current game.
Nevermind how I feel about it, I’m sure those who chisel would be happy not having to chisel every block and then undoing mistakes and what not.
Oh I was thinking of type-changing, but maybe it could do both!
I missed this thread the first time around and now can’t vote, but I’d say 8-12hrs on the fastest. I think it is important that people can get a good nights sleep without feeling like they are playing sub-optimally.
For the slowest I’d say 1-2 weeks, hopefully with some maintenance that you do along the way to get the most yield when it’s done. In any case, please make the longest exact multiples of 24hrs so people don’t have to do math to figure out when to plant if the want to harvest at a certain time.
Looking forward to this, and hopefully it will be implemented in a way that doesn’t turn farming into simple more plots = more stuff.
As a farmer i would like to see some high end materials have a longer ‘germination’ period then the lower end, even on a lower end harvesting once daily is fast, really really fast.
Considering amount of crops and micro management, having a week for max time and 2 days for lowest would give time for other aspects of the game.
Just an oppinion.
Nothing on test servers this week. I have a feeling the farming update is getting very close to going in testing. what do you guys think?
Next week is my bet! Then hopefully release in week after, week of my birthday!
Though, the last ‘roadmap’ picture we got said the Hunter creature would come before the Farming update. Do you think the devs changed their plans?
Yeah I think they did! Last few updates weren’t that big and the Warp Wraith wouldn’t be a massive update either.
There is probably also a very good reason why we haven’t seen any Umbris planets yet, gotta be linked to something tho, right?
24 minute / 1 or 2 days
(a month is a long time)
Need more info to really answer, but the topvoted ranges seem reasonable. Not sure why 24 minutes is a choice though? Kind of an odd number. I’d go with 15 minutes to a week.
24 minutes is the length of day to on Boundless planets.
