Farms not needed at all

[Fat Goomba]

I am not saying it is not a good idea, I am saying it is somewhat unoriginal. There's the gobbler, the treeguard and whatever will replace the krampus (its intended role was to punish meat gatherers...). Not sure we also need bee queens/scavengers.Though I guess you could consider it a theme, as Silvi said...

Combat is one of the riskiest forms of survival in the game, this just adds the element of risk to a somewhat risk free trade off, I understand that honey could just be nerfed, but where is the fun in that, powerful items for powerful punishment. It works perfectly for a survival game, all 'bosses' can be easily avoided with careful planning and strategy. The Leif for example while difficult to predict, can be quite easy to kill although it is still risky. Though imo tallbirds are much more dangerous than Leif... While a Bee Queen would be predicted with every hive, its simple to kill, but doing so will most likely kill the hive, of course it does need tweaking. Perhaps the queens will drop an egg on death and you will have to 'grow' a new Queen, or leave it alive to protect the possibility that the hive would die. This also prevents large Bee farms because someone wouldn't want to be attacked by a Queen Bee more than a few times, unless they wanted the extra risk.

Everyone wants a bear, it seems, and I don't blame them...

But this is Klei we're talking about! Why just a bear? I think bears are uninteresting and overdone. Any generally large furry monster would work. Or heck, even something original.

How about a bearodile? OR a Manbearpig, half man; half bearpig.

No, it's some kind of, half bear, half man-pig... (doesn't this pretty much sum up werepigs)

Winter turned farms into a luxury item.I passed two winters and was not able to make any farm. Too much preparations for winter, no time to waste on farms.I will leave a suggestion here:Farm tier 4: Greenhouse - works on winter.

[Avarice]

I still put up farms for emergency food come winter, I don't harvest unless I'm starving. I survived my first winter on nothing but rabbit meat, I love that the rabbit traps are worthwhile now. For summer I still live off jam, it cooks fast and berries are still easy to mass produce. Having walls means you get free meat from the gobblers as well until they fix their pathfinding.

[NightChime]

I don't bother with farms, even for emergency food. That's what multiple crock pots, or chests full of rabbits, are for.

[_Q_]

I thought farms will be more useful after winter update cause of new crock pot recipes but then pig village with 20 berry bushes and carrots scattered trough the world says: NO.The only farmplot worth building is turbo farmplot, but its to expensive to get it before winter anyway, and you can just use all carrots and berries you find. The new crock pot is quite good, no more eating sticks.

The Solution?Require fuel for Crockpots.Edit: Its also probably a good idea to create some AI that makes pigs not do things that get them killed, that way you cant suicide pigs for food.
