what does it mean when my crops say verdant instead of healthy?

[KromeHWI]

they seem to be well watered and disease free. this is the only difference i can see. some are healthy some are verdant. i dont know what that means.

[d161]

I haven't done a whole lot of farming in game yet, but from a vocabulary standpoint, a verdant bush is a healthy bush.

[KromeHWI]

yeah i figued it out once i got a higher farming skill. it is higher than healthy, but not as high as flourishing.

Mmh, weird, you're not the first one to ask... Sorry to ask but, you're an English native speaker ? I ask because I'm not, so yup, verdant can seem a weird word (well, not really for a French in fact, it's like the same word in French.. :p).

It mean it's better than Healthy, but less than Flourishing.

[KromeHWI]

no i think its fine as a word. i was just alittle confused because healthy seems like it would be the standard and i didnt know there was anything but healthy and sickly. once i saw flourishing it all made sense. i guess was being lazy and not looking up the word...

[KromeHWI]

if you are worried about people getting confused you could always change it to very healthy... thats a bit more onvious, if not as literate.

RJ I have to say when I was doing the farming stuff for the trailer I had to look up the word Verdant and I don't consider my vocabulary terrible. Spazman was farming on his stream and he also had no idea what Verdant means. I think unless you're actually used to the farming side of things then you'd not know what Verdant means without googling it :P

[Atwood]

could always just change Verdant to Flourishing. It'd make more sense to more people. Easier to understand and all.

I think verdant is perfectly fine and knew what it meant...if people have to learn a new word via a game then I give it +1.

With this many levels of plant health you are going to have to have to reach for new words.

Or do a generic Ok - Good - Excellent type system

I'd personally hate an ok - good - excellent. To be completely honest it doesn't take 10 seconds to type "define word" into google and the top result is always a dictionary description of whatever word you're unsure on.

Verdant is fine - its not a word i use everyday, but its often used to describe healthy foliage and plants.

Or, in GTA San Andreas, given to a name of an abandoned airstrip in the desert :P (Verdant Meadows)

@Tooks

I would as well.

The "OR" wasnt meant as an equal alternative, it was a bad consequence of not doing it the right way.

Eat your beans or go hungry kind of thing lol
