No seeds...
« on: August 27, 2014, 03:54:29 pm »
With 2014 (40.1 to be exact now)

I noticed now that all farm plots show every plant option for an outside farm plot and just say "no seeds"

I haven't farmed outside since the new release, is this now the way farming looks for outside? (similar to smelting)
(the old way used to not show plants until you have seeds then they show up)

I think its good, just wanted to know if it was a recent patch change or in since 2014 first release?

Also, anything else worth noting about farming that could have changed?

Your dwarves automatically know about all local types of plants even before you collect them - this was to fix a problem with Trading and Reclaims where you could acquire seeds but not be able to plant them.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Cool
well i like it, its somewhat spoilery but no more than smelting is and at least it doesnt hide from your plot view when you run out of seeds, that always felt a bit annoying

Sometimes immersion has to take a back seat to easy of use.
I mean this is dwarf fortress not dark souls
