Please remove "Common" and "Uncommon" dislikes

[One (1) Lini]

I can understand being encouraged to stick with themes in decorating, but to penalize us for using decor of certain rarities feels kind of unnecessary. It just makes it hard to put plants and animals in themed areas and makes the game feel really restrictive in how we decorate when the freedom in that should be one of the big positive points of the game.

It wouldnt be that bad if those plants wouldn't dislike their own rarity.

Yeah I think this is it.

Removing a planning factor from the game about planning? What next, removing bears? If plants dislike eachother, plant them around bulk of decorations instead of close to eachother.

Yeah. Although I think it makes a certain intuitive sense if we think the flora on the island are reincarnated sentient spirits that some of them would be snobby but plain, and hard to get along with. Something like Elena in Spiritfarer for example--can you imagine her getting along with another version of herself???

That's one of the things that I think will be a nice challenge once the rest of the game is smoothed out. Right now it's just one more problem I don't want to deal with.

I'll admit that shrubs hating other shrubs is part of the problem, but honestly it goes beyond that. They like natural things, okay I like natural things too! I'll make a nice little area and put natural furniture... and then they're not happy because not only do they hate other shrubs, but they hate some of the nice natural furniture too because it's common rarity.

Decorating is supposed to be one of the things we can continue doing when we've run out of the "daily" things, so I really hate that we're getting penalized for following a theme just because it's not good enough... And furniture isn't exactly cheap to craft or buy! I don't have a lot of options here.

[Kasiornis]

Well, supposedly the game has lots of furniture items, each of them has several rarities (common, uncomon, rare, ultra-rare, epic, legendary). You can get them from Mayor or randomly find a recipe and craft yourself. This, in turn, requires either lots of gems, which besides achievements-collections cannot be farmed in any way OR lots of materials, often rare and expensive ones.

Which, in turn, leads us into situation where in order to go around of that ridiculous "common thing hates other common things" problem - you need to invest A LOT of resources and efforts. Which is kinda...meh, to say the least.

I understand "bird hates other birds" - okay, let's leave it somewhere alone. If "deer hates imps" - okay, lots of places without imps. But "common hates common" when common rarity is the only one you have...

[razielsonofkain]

Yeah with birds it's absolutely no problem for me but for shrubs it's just ... i stopped after initial 3 and now i buy out all the flowers, trees and goldenberry bushes because those are valuable.

[VEE ☆]

yea the rarity being in dislikes is reallllly being more annoying than challenging at this point. i have been playing for days, its my 8th day and i only have a few non common items, and most of them do not help with the shrubs because they need natural decor and its like,, they dislike each other so you cant even stack em up if you have some decorations that will help. its frustrating at this point, not challenging.

[Volonas]

I think the frustration right now is that we're being asked for something that most of us can't do yet. Flowering bushes may be intended to be more difficult to cultivate, which is fine, but if that's the case then maybe they shouldn't be offered until a later date, when people have more recipes and resources.

[Ros]

I feel like the whole decoration / farming systems needs some kind of rewamp.

First, at least for me, there is not enough space to fit everything - only space around the campfire and another one at the beach with an artifact. I'm at day 14, so i'm guessing there will be more places like that, but still, i would love to have a "main" big piece of land to start with. And those smaller land lots could be used to create more specific "bioms" for more demanding birds / plants / etc. I guess just increasing the campfire area would do the trick.

Second, common / uncommon dislikes should be removed. Instead, maybe make it so the better rarity gives more happiness to birds and plants. Instead of just rarity, dislikes should be more specialised, like one type of bird shouldn't like some other type of bird, certain trees don't like other certain trees, stuff like that. this way we'd still have a bit of a challenge and have to plan where to put everything, but atleast won't have to worry about rarity.

[Nefrarya]

Just to prevent misunderstandings, even bushes with zero leafs can still flower, so they are not a total waste even if you can't make them happy for more drops.

Lol at the fact that there are so many birds who ONLY dislike "bird". Like what am I supposed to do with that?

Just place +3-4 more decor, isn't a lot of likable objects eventually cover single dislike?
