Earthquake is not fun

[Heliocentrist]

Just had an earthquake, and frankly I think it's a bad mechanic. All my crops are gone, basically I got thrown back to the start of the game and forced to repeat the boring portion of it.

As much as a pain as it is, its totally fine by me. You should have these problems once in a while, sadly some 2016 generation gamers cannot cope with setbacks in games, everything for them has to be winwinwin.

spring ENDS on the 28th. EVERY MONTH ENDS on the 28th. harvest them by the 28th or lose them. no event will influence this

Oh yeah, I forgot that there are 28 days in a month in this game, I thought there are,well, 30.

There are calendars in town and the map changes during the transition.
You have no excuse to hate on the game for not having 30 days when you have 28 days to look at the calendar and make one for your home.

LMAO! This genuinely made me laugh out loud hysterically. :) -- Earthquake and crop wither on season change has been discussed in the forum since the first day of the game release.

It isn't a spoiler to check for the calendar, which is on the front of Pierre's shop and had a ? bubble... The earthquake, only on Wiki or here could you know. However, still super funny to me.

I never said I hated the game, I'm just telling my story.

So the Earthquake put me back at square one.
No money, no crops. Nothing.
Was fun to play while it lasted but now I think I'm done for a bit if I can't avoid that grind from the early game.

This is the point of the game.. you'll always be busy with farming, whether it be your crops, animals, the mines, fishing, foraging, etc. That is what this game is about. Making money by doing these activities and upping your farm, house, tools etc.

you can always, mine, fish, sell wood, stone, sap, turn broken CD / Glasses into refined quartz worth 50G and so on

I didn't notice any damaged crops when the earthquake happened. Few of the crops that regrow withered, rest I had harvested.
I thought the earthquake happened to open up access to the railway and spa.

Looking at the calendar on Pierrre's is hard.

Yeah, it's a convention of the genre to have plants wither at the end of the season, but it seems it's not being made clear enough for people who aren't familiar.

no ♥♥♥♥ i had just spend all of my money in crops that died on the first day of being planted... now i'm broke...

I was a bit upset by it, too... until you realize how easy it is to acquire gold in this game. Granted, it may not be in the thousands, but you can get enough right away to help you get more seeds for the season.

When the earthquake hit, I lost roughly 30 crops - parsnips that were set to gather, potatoes & cauliflower with 1 day left. It sucked but I just went down to the ocean, got some coral, fished a bit and made back enough to buy Pepper seeds, plant them and just let time do its thing.

I don't think the plants should wither, though - they should still be allowed to grow, just when their cycle is up, they're not allowed to regrow/be planted again. Would take the sting out of investing so much and losing it all so quickly.

Luckily for me, because the season was just about over, and on the last day of spring I didn't replant any crops, so I lost none on the day of the earthquake. However, the thing that I didn't like, was that it reset almost every single tilled space I had. I had spent most of the rest of Spring getting a very large crop plot set up for the summer season, however I had to spend the whole first day re-tilling the fields so I could plant again.

I honestly don't mind the earthquake feature, it keeps it interesting, but maybe just make it not as powerful I guess.

The earthquake had nothing to do with it. It turning into Summer did. Every new season, old season crops die and the fields get majorly untilled (but not completely).

I guess you can quit and go back to working a dead end office job.

I actually have a pretty cool job, I love it :)

Yeah, us old gamers should stick to Sisyphus' job, no fun allowed! That'll show those pesky kids.
