A new tool to help with farming

[RogerMu]

I agree with most people that the new farming is amazing, but one thing that bugs me is that switching to Wormwood and planting a lot of crops ends up better than actually tending and going for giants.

I feel like reducing some of the animations required in gathering giant crops could really help. First, let us hammer giant crops straight from the vine, no need to pick. Second, how about we get a hammer that hammers AND picks the drops instantly? Maybe something silly like combining a hammer and a bug net?

 

What are your thoughts about this?

I don't see what's wrong with the farming-focused character being better at farming though.

And besides, it takes quite a lot of "real" farming (with watering and giants and whatnot) to get the seeds Wormwood needs to compete with giant crops.

hammering/waxing giant crops still on the vine should definitely be a default feature, agreed. can't say i agree on your wormwood takes however.

I think you feel like that because of being too focused on the result, or winning. This is a sandbox game, just chill and enjoy farming some fruits right? in this kind of games you don't go calculating efficiency average of everything unless there is a Speedrun Streaming going on.
