Make garden plots available on islands.

Since the vast majority of us will never get a house, even with the new wards, you should allow garden plots to be placed on our islands so we can grow our own Thavnarian onions and other things.

Islands aren't designed to replace housing.

I'm well aware of that. But since my chances of getting a house and slim and none, and slim already has one foot on the bus, I'd like a place to use garden plots.

I'm pretty sure that was 90% of the reason players were asking for "farms" prior to the announcement of Island Sanctuary in the first place, but that reasoning either didn't get through to the devs or got lost along the way.

We know they're working on giving us the ability to place outdoor furnishings on the island but we don't know if that includes the garden patches and their function. We'll have to wait and see.

But I'll be highly amused if happens and they're fully functional so players start complaining that mammets should also be allowed to tend the garden patches in addition to the croplands.

Or they didn't care because they wanted Island Sanctuary to be something different for the game.

Didn't Yoshi say specially they are exploring that option to make growing non island crops on the island? I don't have a specific link to offer but could have sworn I read that somewhere.

Not that I recall. He did say they are exploring allowing the placement of outside furniture on it.

I'm pretty sure he talked about garden too but I'll let it lie given I don't have a link and maybe i needed more sleep. Might have been in a live letter translation on Reddit. Furniture placement was definitely mentioned as well.

Edit: They were looking into alts sharing houses too at one point :P.

I'd love that most. Even if it were a transfer sort of thing. Full access over all characters would be nicer of course

References to "garden" in translations can be misleading. In JP, the outdoor area of a house plot is referred to as the "garden". When we see "garden furniture" in a translation, they're referring to outdoor furnishings in general, not garden patches.

As Shibi said, to our knowledge nothing was mentioned about growing estate crops in addition to placing furnishings. When we got our first real look at Island Sanctuary, the infographics specifically stated it was not for growing estate crops (what we currently grow at out houses). It doesn't mean that they can't change their mind about it, but it also doesn't mean they will.
