Speeding up the process just devalues the plants even further which is something I am not totally in favor of. There are already lots of seeds in the world and if everyone planted them all right now, in 14 days there would be 5x as many and so on. I would just prefer to keep that rate of growth from getting any faster. I could make them drop a possible 1 or 2 more or add more mobs that drop it but reducing the amount required is out of the question :p
Yeah but their value is pretty much nil anyway. The amount of resources (pots) that it takes to grow plants, plus the long time periods to get the plant, make it not even worth it to sell. Would have to charge like 5-10k for a plant and who'd buy at that price? I know I wouldnt. Would be much better to sell seed boxes with a few types of seed for like 50k and let people grow their own and enjoy the "minigame" themselves. Colored seeds would still hold value well because it allows you to do more complex stuff if you crossbreed correctly. But still you're looking at a large time investment (months) to see some good results from growing. I think most of the people who grow are doing it for personal deco plants and such, or to play around with the minigame. Its fun but does get tedious after a few crops, the fert dirt would just give a nice little boost to a small crop if it was made easier to get. Right now I'd never use it simply because its not worth the effort to go get it, and even at 1-2 more per mob it still wouldnt be. :doubt:
