well it could be a feature that can be switched on/off like the underground farming or the soil stability. still i think it would be a great addition to the game even if its only for paired crops and no more than that. -
i found a plant that would fit right in inside the desert biomes of Vintage Story. its edible for both animals and people. according to google its technically a veggie. Elephant grass (also known as Napier grass or Cenchrus purpureus) is edible for humans, though only the young, tender inner shoots and stalks are consumed rather than the tough, fibrous mature leaves. Edible Parts and Preparation • Young Shoots: People peel away the tough outer layers to reach the soft inner core, which has a mild flavor and texture similar to asparagus or bamboo shoots. • Cooking Methods: It is rarely eaten raw because of its texture; instead, the tender pieces are typically chopped and cooked in soups, stews, or potherbs (such as achara in parts of Southeastern Nigeria). • Nutritional and Medicinal Uses: The young shoots contain protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, calcium, and antioxidants, and traditional herbal preparations use leaf or stalk infusions as diuretics or mild treatments. Limitations for People • Mature Grass: Older, full-grown elephant grass is far too fibrous and tough for human digestion, which is why it is primarily cultivated as high-biomass livestock forage for cattle, goats, and elephants rather than a staple human food. Characteristics Elephant grass has a thick, rounded stalk with tinges of purple. It is somewhat similar to sugarcane in appearance. The edible inner shoots are similar in both texture and mild flavor to asparagus shoots. Preparation The young, tender shoots and leaves are the edible portion for humans, and the outer layer should be peeled away to access the tender interior. Discard any part of the young shoot that is too tough to easily break into pieces. Use The grass is typically cooked in soups and stews. https://www.feedipedia.org/node/395 go here for more info.

what i am talking about is how some plants grown next to others ACTIVELY enrich the soil and help those other plants of certain species if planted nearby. in other words. Companion Planting is the technique of planting different crops in the same tiles, usually to meet each other's Nutrient needs so that little or no fertilization is required, but possibly to require just a single nutrient. by doing this it would help save on fertilizer costs and boost crop yields. sorta like on DON'T STARVE TOGETHER. even crop pairs would be a cool feature. no need to go into the 3-4 combos. just 2 would be awesome as it is.

I found this on youtube and looked it up. sound like something that would be great for the game as a tropical plant!!! Noni, scientifically named Morinda citrifolia, is a tropical evergreen tree in the coffee family that produces a strongly scented, bumpy fruit used for centuries in folk medicine. Plant and Fruit Features Native Home: It comes from Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Polynesians brought it to Hawaii as an essential canoe plant. Appearance: The tree grows 10 to 20 feet tall with large, glossy green leaves. The fruit starts green and turns creamy white or pale yellow when ripe. Smell and Taste: Ripe fruit turns soft and smells very strong, often like aged blue cheese. The taste is sharp, bitter, and intense. Uses and Benefits Traditional Medicine: Polynesian healers used the roots, leaves, and fruit for over 2,000 years to treat colds, fevers, infections, and stomach aches. Modern Products: People process the fruit into juice, powders, capsules, and dried fruit leather. Fans claim it boosts the immune system and fights inflammation. How to Grow Noni Climate: It loves warm weather and does not tolerate frost. Light and Soil: It needs bright light or full sun and well-draining soil. Containers: You can easily grow noni as a potted plant indoors if it stays warm and gets enough light. It can flower and fruit all year long.

saw this video on youtube of a bunch of awesome trees you might want to consider adding to various biomes in future updates. the first one is a favorite of mine so far. the fourth can produce food/drink if it is processed properly. long story short many cool trees that would be cool to see in the game.
-
saw this on youtube and wanted to post it here in case they don't know about it and might want to add it.

please add wattle doors and wattle fences. the wattle gates are cool but making a door out of 2 of the gets annoying REALLY fast when you wanna quickly enter or exit a building and have to open AND close 2 things EVERYTIME!!! besides they are cheap to make so even the bigger counterparts still won't cost that much to build. also let us please attach to walls so we can use them as decorative shutters for windows. something like the picture below but with the LOOK of the CURRENT wattle gates that are in the game. these are just suggestions but i bet others would love to see this in the game too. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU GUYS!!! WE ALL CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT GREAT UPDATE!!!

this is the video link. as you can see its pretty too.
