Ohan Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hi! Not sure wether this shouldve been posted in the bug tracker but it appears that wild crops no longer have a map icon. I hope this feature will return cause i liked using them as map markers in the early game for certain points of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuartzBeam Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Probably cause there is no real difference between "wild" crops and farm crops anymore. Plus, imagine if the 373 Pumpkins I planted a while ago all showed up on my map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but there wasnt before RWYS either? Advanced farms had map icons and wild crops had their own icon. now neither have any indication on the map aside from small spots of brown turf for farm soil. its a minor thing for sure but i did like marking volt goat herds and beefalo with wild crops. And it was also handy to find patches of wild crops planted away from your base, especially in the caves. Now i sometimes run in the wrong direction because i literally forget where i planted them lol because i cant see them on the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Wild Crops used to rot, whereas farm crops didn't before, so I'm guessing they did. Plus, Farm Crops also had map icons back then (well, farms did, but it was the same thing), whereas now neither farm nor wild crops do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what i said though? I think they should both have map icons. farm plants still have a mark on the map thanks to the brown Farm Soil turf whereas wild crops are completely invisible 20 hours ago, QuartzBeam said: Plus, imagine if the 373 Pumpkins I planted a while ago all showed up on my map. thats exactly what wild crops did though before rwys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. :P I meant wild crops functioned differently from farm crops before, so they weren't quite identical as they are now. But with RWYS, they are the exact same prefab; you can even turn a "farm crop" into a "wild crop" by digging up the farm soil turf and vice versa by using the garden rigamajig. You can't give "wild crops" a map icon without doing the same for "farm crops". And I assume that, thanks to how densely packed farm plots can get now (and are intended to be even), they didn't want to make the map super cluttered by adding icons for all those plants; same reason they chose not to give map icons for walls.
