Jeremy McArthur Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I JUST discovered that you can't remove farmland.... why? This makes moving homes very annoying as now I have to try to find more terra preta... Maybe its just not implemented yet? If its not a planned feature, it should be, unless i'm missing some gameplay mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If farmland dropped just a regular soil block - terra preta for instance - you wouldn't need to rotate crops. You could just dig up your farmland, it'd drop fresh soil, and you'd place it and hoe it again. Soil nutrition would be totally pointless. This issue is why it is the way it is currently - to avoid that. Now, there have been discussions about other options - If each block remembers it's nutrients, then you've got scores of individual blocks with individual percentages to deal with, potentially. Not ideal. You could in theory simply have the blocks average their nutrients, similar to combining differing decay food stacks currently. I don't know the code aspects of this though, in terms of carrying that percentage on an item and transferring it to a placed block. Tyron is busy with more pressing things now in any case. When crops get updated, it may be looked at again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy McArthur Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Ahhh... I didn’t realize nutrition would reset... alright alright I submit. I actually like the farming mechanics so makes sense. Just stinks I have to try to source more preta on a multiplayer server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RapscallionGamer Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) I feel that the best solution to this would be newly placed soil defaults to zero or very low nutrition numbers and would need to be built up from there. New farm, new soil. I can totally understand trying to source up new soils on a multiplayer server. Even on a single player I collected it, I'd like to reuse it, redesign the farm, etc. Edited March 13, 2020 by RapscallionGamer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Betts Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Having it reset to 0 upon pickup was also the solution I thought of, really seems like the best way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaelty Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 I agree, the reset to 0 should be the best solution (saving the numbers per block would be impossible after all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placed farmland has 0 nutrients and you have to till composted material in to it to build the nutrients up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok hey now stop adding additional evil to the suggestions lol On that note though, if we include your previous suggestion for the compost bin changes (to obtain compost at a more reasonable rate), you could have any soil type be improved up to the level of terra preta, negating it entirely. Just keep composting and tilling it up. Breaking the block will reset it to 0. This would make my slightly annoyed, but it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The different blocks can still have a max amount of nutrient it can hold, or maybe the growth rate could be the differentiater. But the compost would only be effective to it's max level. Maybe prolonged composting could bump a low to a medium and a medium to preta, but that would take some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
