Crop Information UI

[royal tartan]

So how does the crop information UI you can unlock in the skill tree work? All extra information that I see after unlocking it is a small progress bar under the plant that I would assume shows the progress towards the next growing stage but that doesn't make any sense. The bar is only partially filled even when the plants are ready to harvest.

Is it just broken or do I interpret it in the wrong way?

exactly,... i cant understand what that white bar is supposed to visualize....

It confused me as well for awhile. Not to spoil it too much but you'll unlock another crop skill that will give a better explaination to the bar

I believe, from what you learn from Sato, is that the bar is the life/fertility of the plot itself.

Also something I've considered but I think that's also not true. If for example I harvest a potato and plant a new one the bar goes back to zero and keeps filling as the crop grows. It's just that it never reaches 100% even if the crop already is ready to harvest. Apparently you can ||leave some crops sitting after they are ripe and they will produce seeds that way|| but this also doesn't make sense for potatoes as they work completely differently. My guess simply is that the bar is not working correctly. Hope a developer can clarify this and that they maybe flash out this part of the UI some more. Have yet to unlock the upgrade @lusty marsh mentioned so maybe this will clear things up a bit.

Potatoes can seed as well. You can actually buy potato seeds at the store.

Okay didn't know that 😄 Then maybe the bar is the progress towards the seeding stage 🤷🏽‍♀️

[north kiln]

if you buy potatoes seed package you get potatoes,... same as kumin, corn and other... seed producing plant make almost no sense when like 90% plants are perinial...

if that bar only get usefull with the seconds iteration of that skill,. then remove the first iteration alltogether ... 😄 or,.. - which i would prever - on unlocking that skill, broastcast a tutorial in how to read it.... the game allready utilizes an informative tutorial section.

Does seeding have any perks? beyond not having to buy seeds for that plant?

[lusty marsh]

This is me purely speculating since I haven't gotten this far: my guess is that you can repackage the seeds and sell them for a higher price than what is sold in the seed app. However, I'm not sure if selling the seeds would turn a higher profit than selling the crops and/or cooking with them

[brisk snow]

all it adds is the stage # for the crop, so you'll start seeing 0, 1, 2, etc. on the crop besides the water and fertilizer icons

Do you know if it goes past stage 5?
