Posted July 16, 2016 This makes me wish we had a wider variety of animations. When I imagine picking sprouts, I've always imagined having to get down on my knees and jabbing and poking with my sickle to get that sprout from around the base of the plant, which doesn't really work with doing it on horseback.

Posted September 11, 2016 +1 Being able to pick fruit and sprouts from a horse or a cart would be a big boon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 11, 2016 +1 from me as well. It would make sense for tree sprouts for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 11, 2016 I'm sorry but once again I'm going to have to say NO. The desire to have legs to run away because you are harvesting in hostile area and cannot or do not wish to deal with the guardians of that area is not really a good reason to alter the game. We might as well have a non-hostile creature server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol this has "nothing" to do with hostile creatures which for the most part are a joke to kill, not to mention southern xanadu has next to none, it's about dismounting to pick a sprout then remounting to run 5 or more tiles then dismounting again to pick another. It's tiresome, boring and adds nothing more to the game preventing you from doing it on horseback. You may as well set out from home on foot if you intend to go sprout picking. How about those times when you are travelling somewhere and see a tree you want a sprout from, you have to dismount, pick it, re lead your creature, re embark your creature (or vehicle which can lead to that fun mounting bug) then continue your journey. 4 actions when it should only be one.

As I said, while I sympathize with your statements. This is something the Dev's will either decide in favor of, or against. I would say against. The reason being is, you don't do a number of things from the back of a horse. At this point, do you want convenience or realism. Also, if you tame your horse you don't have to "re-lead" Edited September 12, 2016 by Tallios Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 12, 2016 Considering this is a game rather than a scientific, real world mimicking simulation, I'd vote in favor of convenience. Realism is nice in games until it starts to feel like a chore you pay for. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 12, 2016 I personally would like if instead of this, the focused on a tending process to treat trees like crops as far as seasons and harvesting to provide less randoms and more produce. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 14, 2016 Can butcher from horse back and a few other activities, so why not harvest sprouts as well. Now limits on farming would be feasible given the value of crops and the value of denying such resources. Granted gathering resources from a Rift are an unknown atm with longterm value; though, not aware of sprout-gathering being usable or even planned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was more of a matter of logic, if the OP was to go through, why would you want to leave this out at the same time? Either way, it's an idea, it was suggested, some like and some dislike. Either way, have a great day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
