Grass Too High And The Sickle Doesnt Work Anymore

[LadyDewinter]

Devs, could you please do something about the grass, its beautiful and all, but its way to high.

Also the sickle doesnt seem to work or did you change HOW it works?

Dont get me wrong I absolutely LOVE the game. Its just very very hard to even see the food animals in the tall grass. Let alone find any food plants other then tomatos and watermelon. Before this update I had a devil of a time finding carrots. Now I cant even hardly see the ferns. LOL

in real life where i live the grass grows over my head lol so yeah its not to tall at all if anything it should be higher but that would make it too hard to play so this height is a good mix, for cutting you could try the other mouse botton ?

There will be more tools in the future (like a mower) to get rid of it. Biggest issue at the moment is to find small plants and items in the grass, we're working on a solution for this ;)

The sickle should work as intended. Like the scythe (which is much more effective when it comes to grass cutting) you can press LMB to remove grass completely (may take up to two hits), or RMB to shorten it.
You should be able to remove small plants (basically every plant you can get a sapling from) with a single hit.

Indeed, grass is too tall, would be good at maybe around 60% of its current height.

Sickle is working fine for me today. Takes a couple swipes in each spot.

The sickle is working allright for me and is working the same way that it always has.
Also I like the grass height as it is, as it adds more of a challenge and danger in that it can hide bears and other dangerous animals so you have to be on alert at all times when walking about.

Left click to remove all grass and right click to cut it a little. That's what I've been doing.

OK, for clarification, if you look at the post dates the "sickle problem" is no longer in question, I "revitalized" a slightly older thread to purely remark on the grass height which I find a bit high, can one manage it, sure, but it would also be nice to be able to see a bit of the ground, smaller animals, logs, flowers etc.
At the moment all is quite hidden, also, in relation to the characters viewing height the grass seems very high.

So yes, the sickle is working, the comment was in regards to grass height only.

I like the height of the grass the way it is, like yahgiggle said grass grows much higher than the in-game grass. On the topic of the scythe it usually works fine for me, sometimes it takes a few swings to get the grass I want but I'd assume it was a matter of where I was aiming my swing.

For an uninhabited world, the grass level is fine. Untill we landed on this (planet, dimension ?) no one was around to worry about keeping the lawn up. But soome bare patches would make sense. I have not visited a desert biome yet and there is probably a good bit of sand there. But I like the overgrown look. It fits.

Maybe have different height of grass in some areas? Make the grass grow?
