Weeds Do Not Grow Overnight.

[Hoodoo Man]

I get real tired of keeping the farm tidy. I am OCD that way. I keep the area free of weeds. Which is OK. But then I wake up in the morning and discover a growth spurt. My entire farm ia overgrown with weeds in one night! That is cruel. Now I need spend an entire day cleaning up a dev's mess. Please code in a gradual growth of weeds. so that a bit of time each day needs be spent on weed management. And really please code in some ability to hire people! I will be not be playing this game much until these issues are addressed. But maybe you just don't give a damn.

Thats not very nice. It takes days for my weeds to grow. A little kindness goes along way.

You are right. Weeds do not grow overnight in the game. Not sure what mod or edit you are using, but in my game it takes days for weeds to appear.

I am not using any mod or edit. I play the game straight up. And I go to bed with no weeds and wake up in a jungle of weeds. After a growth spurt. I have going on over 250 hrs in this game. I don't lie. So whatever you are inferring is total BS.

I'm infering to the absolute fact that weeds don;t grow overnight. Whatever you are doing different, well, good luck with that. :)

I think what he is doing is sleeping every time it tells him to. He has to understand when you sleep it's a week at a time.. I go about a week before i sleep. Maybe this will help him. Just keep your guy fed and he can go along time with out sleep.

The only way weeds would be back overnight is if your sleeping 1 week at a time. Try sleeping 1 night at a time.

I sleep one night at a time. I never sleep for a week. What I am saying is in the game there are occassional growth spurts. For lack of a better term. And the weeds grow up from no weeds to tons of weeds. Then I need to spend hours doing a weed chopping simulator. Some of you must not have played the game very long. The weeds go from no weeds to a jungle of weeds overnight. I have OCD when it comes to weeds and like to keep a tidy farm. But they need to adjust it as weeds do not actually grow overnight.

I have also noticed some "spurts" in the growth of weeds occasionally. I am looking to see if the cultivators make a difference in how long it takes between growth rates??

Dude you need to sleep one night at a time, not a week. The default is E on your keyboard, not ENTER.

He already stated above that he is only sleeping one night at a time. So the "sleep a week" option doesn't even pertain.

I get what your saying. I'm ocd to about my farm and trust me as soon as I see a weed I mow it! For me it starts with a few then a couple, few days later they all pop back up. I actually enjoy mowing my yard so I don't get to upset. There is nothing to be done about it at the moment. Devs have their hands ful right now. Just keep bringing it up from time to time and perhaps they will delay it.

Personally I think we should have some game options with regards to the weeds? I spent a lot of time in the game wacking weeds all over and it was bad enough waking up to see some sprouts but I just did my first winter and I was totally gobsmacked at the growth! A lot of weeds don't grow over winter?

Another somewhat minor point is the grass in the chicken run? True story: Many years ago I decided to get some hens for the eggs ... so I turned an old garden shed into their henhouse and then made a run out of chicken mesh and decide I'd make it really nice for them and actually lifted some turf off my lawn to line their run, watered it, etc and went and bought the 3 hens. Well, it took about 24 hours for 3 very young hens to totally decimate that turf to the extent that not only had the grass shoots been eaten but all the roots as well and the turf was now just dust that they liked to dustbath in! So, my point is, that the chicken run should be dusty soil with NOTHING growing in it because they will eat it roots and all!
