Feedback after 15h gameplay

[Pea Kina]

I would like to write down a few things that I noticed after 15 hours of playing:

- the plant limit is far too low, but this has already been mentioned many times. I think my PC would easily manage that.
- I often had crashes; I tried the "trick" with -d3d11 and didn't have any crashes for a long time. They only came back after I unlocked the bulletin board. The first time I got a crash report from Steam, the second time I just got stuck at the bus stop. I also noticed a few stutters as the game progressed.
- I have a few graphical errors in the village square, the floor tiles are missing in the store as well as on the way to the flower sculptures
- I would like to see a sorting system for the seeds and flowers, separating the two would be a start, just as the leaves could also end up directly in the compost.
- there are some tools that will be helpful later on, but there is nothing for cutting the plants. My hand hurts super quickly from all the clicking when cutting the plants, regardless of whether I'm using a mouse or a controller. An automatic cutting tool would be cool or something that cuts more at once, maybe the whole plant for example.
- I love the graphic style, I just find autumn very orange and monotonous in terms of colors. Autumn is super colorful!
- the jasmine flower seems buggy to me, it's really hard to pull up.
- when you save and continue playing, it would be cool to have a feedback that you have saved
- an overview of the orders outside the delivery box would be cool. Some kind of menu via some button... I always have to write everything down because I can't remember it all.

Ich möchte ein paar Sachen aufschreiben, die mir nach 15h spielen aufgefallen sind:

- das Limit an Pflanzen ist viel zu niedrig, aber das wurde ja bereits oft erwähnt. Ich denke mein PC würde das locker schaffen.
- ich hatte oft Abstürze; ich habe den "Trick" mit -d3d11 ausprobiert und hatte dadurch lange keine Abstürze. Die kamen erst wieder nach dem ich das schwarze Brett freigeschaltet hatte. Beim ersten Mal bekam ich direkt einen Crash Report von Steam, beim zweiten Mal hing ich einfach der Bushaltestelle fest. Auch ein paar Ruckler sind mir dann im weiteren Spielverlauf aufgefallen.
- ich habe am Dorfplatz ein paar grafische Fehler, im Shop fehlen die Bodenplatten genauso wie auf dem Weg zu den Blumenskulpturen
- ich würde mir ein Sortierungssystem für die Samen und Blumen wünschen, beides trennen wäre schon mal ein Anfang, genauso wie das Laub auch direkt im Kompost landen könnte
- es gibt einiges an Werkzeug, welches im späteren Verlauf hilfreich ist, nur für das Schneiden der Pflanzen gibt es nichts. Mir tut super schnell die Hand weg vom vielen klicken beim Schneiden der Pflanzen, egal ob Maus oder Controller. Da wäre ein automatisches Schneidewerkzeug cool oder etwas, was mehr auf einmal schneidet, vllt die ganze Pflanze zum Beispiel.
- ich liebe den Grafikstil, ich finde nur den Herbst sehr orange und eintönig von den Farben her. Der Herbst ist doch super bunt!
- die Jasmin Blume scheint mir verbuggt, lässt sich wirklich nur schwer heran ziehen.
- wenn man speichert und weiterspielt, wäre eine Rückmeldung cool, dass man gespeichert hat
- eine Übersicht von den Aufträgen außerhalb der Lieferbox wäre cool. Irgendein Menü über irgendeine Taste.. so muss ich mir immer alles notieren, weil ich mir das nicht alles merken kann.

Totally agree with the points you brought up (Jasmine almost never grows up structures, only had it happen once... Autumn was very ORANGE).
I still need to try the 'trick' because I've been having a fair amount of crashes (I was pretty rich when I unlocked the board, and I couldn't progress until I only requested one upgrade on the board instead of them all at once - maybe something for the creators to look into)

I found that aiming the shears at the base of the plant and double clicking tends to cut the whole plant (with some trial and error), in case that helps you specifically in the meantime!

As for the requests, if you press R on the keyboard, it brings up the mail you got, and you can swap through the requests outside of the dropbox. But it would be nice to have either an overview or a notification on seeds/flowers in your storage to see them - I do write them down when I am fulfilling multiple requests.

I have to agree with the plant/flower & seed sorting that would really free up a lot of lost time since when you are in any of the storage/crafting areas game time is not paused. Also, the plant/flower limit is extremely low especially when you start getting all the variants later down the story line. Finally, the whole Jasmine flower thing is really bugging me. I have two different game saves & in each of those two game saves I have planted them the same exact way, but they have grown entirely differently.

This game is apart from Factorio, the easiest way to get RSI in your wrist. Just a reminded to those that haven't experienced this joy - it heals for 3-6 months, you have to wear a brace and sometimes you will need surgery.

So... Other way to cut the flowers please. Don't give us a harvester, just holding the button instead of clicking will be enough.

Hello everyone!

Thank you so much for a very detailed feedback. Our team gets everything that is posted in discussions. We really appreciate it!

[creepy]

i agree with all of them. I got tiles in the floor missing as well. My game crashed several times until I tried the steam "trick".
I would love to have longer days with more sunlight to enjoy my garden. It feels like day is only like 5 minutes and suddenly it's 5pm and the shop is closed....

It feels like they could have easily taken some mechanics from other games (especially in terms of sorting, animal crossing, palworld, minecraft and so on.... but decided on purpose to not do it for a more "slowed down" experience. When in reality it does not make it more cozy and slowed down but more "complicated". These mechanics are simply useful for a smoother game experience. :)

Edit: Just arrived in autumn and it's really hard on my eyes. Weird sepia filter. I guess I will just skip everyday by Bus.

Good point! Time running so fast!

These are all good points, but seeing too much on the screen would be very overwhelming for me, so the last one I would not want(where you see an overview of the orders). My memory isn't great, but pressing "R" isn't that difficult...However, would love to see a way to clean up/decorate my work area~

I would like a "hover function" over the planted flowers which breifly tell me what type of floew and variant it is.
When you have a lot of planted flowers is sometimes hard to distinguish them, (especially the roses variants).
And I also want a more real seasonal variation, you can't plant tulips in the winter and harvest them outside...

Same here - I'm a guy, I have no clue about flowers, especially not in my native tongue. :) I often find myself cutting one of them to see what they are. :) Also the plates that you can plant in the ground are just decoration right? They can't show the name or even the picture of the flower that they are next to, right?

I agree. You can end the day at any time, or even make time pass while on the bench, so there shouldn't be any issue with making the days longer.

I really missed the key R for that overview! my fail xD

Dude Jasmine has to be bugging. I JUST finished marcus' request on day 38 after saving up about 30k without really putting effort towards it. I've just been waiting around for jasmine. It only took a couple days for me to realize something was wrong on my end, didn't realize they were climbing plants, but even then it doesnt really matter either end. I ended up having to buy like.... 15 plants? Only 4 of them actually bloom, ever, and I finally got enough flowers by like giving them fertilizer daily and pruning them sometimes all the way down to the base and give them a little reset. Sometimes this helps, and in the end my reset got my handful of blooming ones to bloom every like thirty seconds or so and finally farm those last bouquets?

Also does anyone know how to remove plants? I was at my plant limit before expanding and I don't wanna hit it again.

Remove plants with the shovel. Also, I have become successful with jasmine by doing what was advised elsewhere; if it isn't growing, trim the plant and let it regrow. You may have to do this MANY times, but eventually the plant will do what you want.

No it's fine lol I just started playing and still trying to figure out buttons XD Though definitely wish the days were longer...it's like "walk in, water, go to sleep" o_o And your idea of a cutting upgrade was on point!
