Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XLII! (Exploring Patch 4.2)

Can we get a new UI for Gardening? The current state of gardening is awful.

Gardening requires a lot of steps:

1. Clicking the garden bed. (1 Click)
2. Clicking the option to plant seeds. (1 Click)
3. Selecting the soil and seeds. (5 Clicks)
4. Repeat this 7 more times. (Total: 56 Clicks for one deluxe bed.)

This is not counting the fact that a lot of us will probably be making a lot of extra clicks for our own reasons. Also, most of us remove the first seed, only to replant it -- because cross-breeding is poorly designed and requires a seed to be planted next to the bed before you plant it. Which, is impossible from a fresh garden with nothing planted.

Then, you also need to water all of them daily, or you lose all of your time and effort.
My biggest complaint is that all of this takes a LOT of clicking, and I don't want carpal tunnel.
When the plants are finished growing, harvesting them is also a bunch of unnecessary clicking, before going back to all of the clicks to set it all up again.

A simple UI that lets us plant 8 seeds at once, water 8 beds at once, and harvest 8 beds at once would be a huge improvement.
We already invest a lot of time and Gil into the seeds and soils, the fact that gardening is mostly ignored for the physical effort required is upsetting.
