Rewriting the Suggestion because after rereading it I did a horrible idea explaining it and confused too many people.

Long duration boxes that allow for multiple harvests of a crop should store their harvests and allow for one collection at the end of the boxes life as opposed to what it is now where you have to babysit the box and come back every X hours if you want to utilize longer duration boxes/short grow time mushrooms.

With the idea above, when placing a box players should be able to queue multiple types of mushrooms/substrates that will grow in the order that they are placed in the box (assuming they're withing the boxes duration limit).

The idea is basically to make it a bit more friendly to the players time.

Not sure I understand, boxes that allow multiple harvests only need to be seeded once

Ooh maybe it was explained to me poorly(or I'm an Idiot). From what I understood If I put for example a mushroom with a 16hr grow time into a 24hr box, I would need to return to it at the 16 hour mark to either restart the current shroom or change mushrooms and if I didnt I would waste the remaining time left in the box. I was not about to start setting an alarm to wake up to change mushrooms.

you do need to go back and harvest before the box expires tho to get another crop

So yeah, if i left a 2hr grow time mushroom in a 24 hour box and just left it alone all day i would only get 2hrs worth of mushrooms from it right?

right, but if you harvested at 16 hours or even 20 hours, you can get another crop, because the box will stay until you clear it again

Gotcha, I am basically suggesting that it lets us decide what to grow next at the -start- of planting the box. And then we just havest everything at the end of the boxes lifespan

the substrate. the mushroom and the moon phase determine the size of the crop more so the time of the box

Can I do it right when I put the box down?

#

the 24hr practice ones sure dont let me do it

Err, maybe not most but some boxes just give one harvest. Like the epic crop box

#

with the multiple harvest boxes you get the same mushrooms you planted initially, you cant choose a second type, but you can sometimes get bonus shrooms that are a different type. You can grow several types tho with multible boxes. Up to 3 based on your level

Laying it out:

  • box without a parenthetical time unit at the end of the name == box that only ever gives one harvest
  • box with e.g. "X hours" in the name: any harvest that happens before the box is "X" hours old will start another growth cycle and allow a new harvest (even if the grow time is longer than the amount of time left on the box). All harvests are of the same mushroom type in the same substrate--that is done when you start the first grow. Moon cycle is counted at time of harvest
    So "lucky mushroom box" with blusher and exotic substrate harvested on a new moon will give a single crop of blushers after 6 hours. A "high yield mushroom box (48 hours)" with two exotic substrate will give the ability to harvest blushers at 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 and 54 hours (no additional substrate required, no ability to change mushrooms).

Okay so allll the way back to the suggestion, that is what the suggestion is. That that no longer be the case. Less babysitting a box, more respect to the players time and letting multiple harvest cycles accumulate in the box and can be harvested in the end with a single visit. Well and allowing for you to que different mushrooms if you want.

Maybe I just worded it abysmally lol
