ProfMembrane Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The fact that you now have to use a machete to hack grass 3 times a piece is really tedious, that worked ok for the resources it was used for in shipwrecked cause you didn't need nearly as much of them, but you need way more grass, so grass cutting takes up a tremendous amount of very boring time.

atagunz Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I think you can use shears to cut tall grass Edit: I tested it and it gives 2 cut grass per use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Tea Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 My only issue is that the cut grass will usually fall "under" the tuft and you have to angle the camera a bunch to click on it to pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 And... in SW, it takes 6 hacks to get vines and bamboo. No, I don't find the 3 hack grass system in Hamlet tedious. There is also free, easy to pick grass along the outskirts of town that don't belon to any pigs. And it gets easier once you can make shears, as others already said.

Rellimarual Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I just make a small grass farm near the house using tufts stolen fro guard pigs. No problems after that. The pigs even pay you to collect fertilizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, while I have dug up tough grass, I haven't replanted it yet so I hope my assumption is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfMembrane Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 1. I feel people are mistaking "hard" for "tedious" 2. You needed WAY less bamboo in shipwrecked than you need grass in any game 3. I have discovered the shears thing, but I am still ambivalent.

Drewey09 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 It takes literally no time to hack grass... All you have to do is walk to one of the massive patches of grass and hack/cut away for about a day. That’s literally it, you can get about 30 grass per machete and it takes no time.

Szczuku Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 New grass system isn't really tedious. At least for me. It's something new and I appreciate everything new dlcs bring. I actually find it more useful then regular grass. But only if you use shears that is. By default there're big clusters of tall grass. Shears cut grass almost as fast if not faster than your character charvests regular grass. Then you only need to pick up 2 cut grass and picking up animation is basically instant. My point is- if you use shears you can get like 2-3 stacks of grass in 1 day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycasta Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I'm not a huge fan of it, but I've just been digging and replanting it in a different turf where it comes out as regular grass (usually I put it near the town). There's usually some rot around the edges of the town to start with, so you can use that to fertilise the grass (if you want to save manure for other things).

Yokoblue Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I actually prefer this system to anything else. Going to massive patch of grass and getting 2 really quickly and just getting 100 grass under 45 sec is amazing. Also if you don't like it, just go in ruins and get regular grass there and build yourself a farm like usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avarwen Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I think maybe a gold machete that hacks in one hit could be an easy fix and I agree it's just annoying like cutting in tress in Minecraft it's not a challenge it's beyond mind numbing when you play a lot.

Zeklo Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It's really a none-issue. Grass has never been easier to acquire in bulk. Craft shears. Chop a bunch of tall grass in 1 chop and get 2 per. If it's really bugging you dig up the tall grass, and transplant it. It'll turn into normal grass.

Pagox Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hm, I usually take some of the high grass at the beginning, but than I just pluck all "normal" grass plants from the pigs and move them to my own base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cropo Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I think its an immersion thing. You're going to be using a lot of shops and civilization for your gains in this, rather than your foraging and wilderness skills. Cutting down grass with a machete like a savage, to then move up to trimming it like a sophisticated person seems intentional. It's supposed to be tedious and undesirable.

orian34 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 but the shears actually make grass a less tedious resource to obtain... and tea trees make twigs a free resource when getting wood. What are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
