Huh, this thing got a lot more attention than I thought it would. And it's not nearly as negative as I figured it'd be. Not sure what the cause is, and you wont hear me say this often, but shout outs to the forums.

@Tarr

Really? I don't remember that ever being a thing. Maybe it was before I played, early March 2018 or before. Do you know about when it was changed? Also, not sure I can fully agree with your opinion of a massive milkweed buff not messing with game balance.

@Whatever

Can't say I'd be a fan of that suggestion. Personally me, I'm a pretty adamant detractor of RNG in games.

@futurebird

Yes, it can be taken down pretty easy as it stands now. But with my suggestion, the only thing they could do (without staking, watering, and shoveling) is pick it during a stage it regrows, or pick it at a stage where it will produce seeds. They don't have an easy option to grief. As far as the multi generational farming, I'm of the opinion of it being far more complicated than it'd be worth. I feel there are many more practical, and easier implemented solutions.

@Psykout

Like I said in the OP, you can muster up an argument for the current flowering milkweed stage, but it wouldn't justify it's existence IMO. I will agree that the debris phase after it gets picked is unnecessary and should be done away with.

And I guess I'm technically asking for a milkweed buff, but I'm not looking at it in that sense. My initial reaction to the idea of a "domestic" milkweed that gives thread is to be against it. I'm sure I could probably be persuaded, I would just want it to come with a pretty decent drawback (maybe soiling and watering?). I wouldn't want it to be too strong.

For the final point of your thoughts on a downside to picking a biome clean and not cultivating it, and that it should change it's behavior once "domesticated". I personally believe you are looking at it the wrong way. I believe you are comparing apples to oranges. Milkweed is not like carrots, corn, sheep, pigs, etc. They are more like trees. They don't provide food, they provide crafting materials. If you think of a milkweed plant as a maple tree, you'll understand where I'm coming from. Just imagine every milkweed stalk as a poplar, maple, or yew tree. You don't have to plant a new poplar tree every time you grab a curved branch; nor do you have to soil and water it. You get one, every predetermined amount of time. I'm not going to waste time typing out every little thing, because I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from.

At least that's my opinion. I don't think you should "domesticate" a milkweed plant any more than you can "domesticate" a poplar tree. I know that milkweed kind of exists in between a tree functionality and a bushes/corn functionality, but I'd like to see it move more towards the prior.

Fix and fine tune the combat so the winner of a duel is a lot less "coin flippy".

Of course, seeing as that's not really realistic, I'd probably go with a version of the zoom out mod being a standard part of the game. Something a lot like whatever's new one with key bindings and the other conveniences.

Ah yes, I remember those days; back in the olden days when people used to chew each other out for picking not fruiting milkweed XD

I actually had an idea recently regarding milkweed. Was thinking about making a post, but not sure if it's worth the effort.

LMAO +1

I never said anything about nerfing their insulation value. This is the reason why I hate to use the forums.

I also added additional clarification a little later on that I am fully aware that they have a purpose, and I'm not saying to make any changes to it. I personally believe that it would be nice to be able to get rid of them if they are no longer necessary. That was the whole reason for my post.

Also, I had already acknowledged that I may very well be the only person with the gripe, but thank you for reiterating.

I'm personally in favor of zero cost. I don't really see at as being a problem, they're already troublesome enough as is.

I personally really like this idea.

I agree with everything said here very much. The last part literally made me LOL.

And that is part of the reason for the post. I'm sure a lot of even more experienced players aren't aware of this, because the current bar makes it seems like once you hit the far right, it's not going to get any worse.

As a general rule, it is generally better to be hot than cold. If I remember correctly, the same amount in the cold burns more hunger than the exact same measure of heat, but you can only get so cold. However you can keep stacking up heat until you're burning something like one hunger bar per second, or even more.

And the floors are not just unnecessary, they are actually a detriment. You put a floor on a desert tile and you're just burning up more food.

*sigh*

I never once suggested that people need to live in colder climates. My very first fucking sentence is acknowledging how strong and useful they are. I don't hold it against you, because that's to be expected from the forum. Just to reiterate, I'm merely suggesting that people stop building houses and fires in the desert. If you're going to build them, build them outside of the desert.

Now if you ask me if I'd like people to stop using deserts all together, then I'd say yes. I personally enjoy consistency, but I don't expect people to do this, nor do I suggest it.

Also, in the picture, she's not entirely in the desert. You'd probably need to be two tiles further in to feel the full effect. But thank you for the maths.

@neo

Oh really? I'm fairly certain they don't, but I suppose I've never really paid attention. Not very often you get stone floors, mostly just walls.

@multilife

Oh yes, then it'll be perfect. Add a nice rub and some sauce, delicious XD

And I know why people do it, but that's a bit of what this post is supposed to be, just a bit of education for people who may not know. I usually don't post anything unless there's at least 3 reasons to do so. And while there's many things that can be done gameplay wise to help with this, I'm fairly certain this wont be on Jason's radar any time soon, if ever. It'll be pretty much up to the experienced players to take things into their own hands. I've thought about going around destroying desert stuff and rebuilding it out of the desert, but not only does it seem not worth the trouble, it's also usually not an issue for me. But I think this was the final straw, it's now officially my problem lol.

And yes, I've had my mom put me on a desert, bear skin bonfire. Then when I try to move, she puts me right back, calls me a dumbass, and threatens to let me starve if I don't stay O.o That's enough to drive someone shooty <.< >.>

@turnipseed

Yeah, I saw this, but I don't really agree. I don't think that there should be heat reducing clothing because then you're just taking away the downside of the desert without touching the upside. It's already broken as is, it should have some counter balance. My problem is that the counter balance is just so damn annoying. I would be okay with heat reducing clothing if something like, all half desert tiles get full desert heat.

@pein

Well of course, that is all true. I don't think anyone is disputing any of that. Except maybe for the part where babies deserve to die, that might get some controversy. This is the forum after all XD
