Auto select crops to the left

[outer widget]

Yes, I'm considering this a bug 😠 If I have a stack of seeds in my inventory and I plant them all, it shouldn't select the seeds to the left. Those are the before seeds, it should only plant the after seeds. As it is I either have to be very careful to plant things one at a time and then wait for any lag to catch up and update all the number and sprites(not fun), or I have to put a chicken in the way so that it blocks the previous seeds from getting planted (not fun for the chicken). I have accidentally planted things that weren't meant to be planted so many times and I demand restitution. Thank you, I expect this bug to be fixed by the morning.

If you put your seeds higher up in your inventory bag instead of at the end/at the bottom it doesn't auto select the one to the left.

If you have the seeds at the very end/very bottom of your inventory bag and you plant the whole stack that's in the last item slot (for example, slot 100/item 100), it defaults to putting the next item in your hand, and since there are no other items to the right it makes sense for it to grab the next closest item (aka item slot 99 in this example).

Alternatively you can also place the chicken or even a tool or something else that's NOT a seed at the end of your inventory bag, thus preventing you from auto selecting another seed once the stack your planting is gone.

But yeah, you definitely don't need to put the pet in between seeds like in your photo if you don't have them as the last item in your item bag like mentioned above !

OH also! I almost forgot, you can lock your seeds now ~so you can just lock the ones you don't want to plant and unlock em once you actually want to (:

In my opinion though I don't view this as a bug so much as an intended feature 😅 but obviously if a dev says otherwise then hopefully they'll patch it !

If I get seeds, they default to the end of my bag. I don't want to move them around, especially since my organization has pets first and seeds second!

It makes sense to default to the next item, but imo have an inconsistent rule is confusing ie "it selects the next seed unless it's the last seed and then it selects the previous seed". It just means I keep accidentally planting things because I haven't properly segregated my bag after getting a new seed.

I buy a clover, I plant a clover, I plant a bamboo, I get sad :(

Especially if I buy multiple things! I keep accidentally putting rare eggs in my clover patch by accident and then I can't even do anything but wait until it hatches!

Locking is actually not a bad idea, I'll do that for the things I only plant occasionally like my daily bamboo.

I still think it's strange behavior and my brain doesn't like it!

[cerulean river]

You can also lock them if you don't want to move em! (:

[outer widget]

Sorry, I hit enter too soon 🙇

[cerulean river]

no worries XD (side note, I wish discord would show the little "x is typing" message when editing a message too 😛 )

but yeah, I getcha though! Especially with the egg example.. like, if there was a way to pick em back up even that would be okay, but there isn't QQ

You've sparked an idea for a suggestion actually ! ~hopefully my forum post makes sense to the devs 😅

I wish that too, but alas my fingers are to be unseen.

It's just annoying having my clover field be filled with eggs and bamboo because of the way I sort my inventory. I've got to change the way I garden to make it work!

Thanks for your efforts to keep my garden bug free, I appreciate you 💖

I have another issue with this. I buy some clover seeds and I harvest a bunch of clovers to make room. I go to sell the clovers and for some reason it auto selects the clover seeds (the last thing in my inventory before I started harvesting) so when I go to pluck some more clovers (by spamming the space bar, as I am known to do) wastes a bunch of my precious clover seeds. If I'm supposed to get 12/12 four leaf clovers, I can't be wasting all my seeds because the game decided to try and be smart

[outer widget]

In support of this, I'm going to add a comment every time this happens and annoys me

I just wasted a bunch of clover seeds because, even though I had nothing selected, when I went to harvest my clover it picked one and then auto selected the seeds to plant a single clover. 3 seeds wasted

[outer widget]

Just finished spamming the space bar to harvest a vclover patch and accidentally placed an egg

[river fjord]

@outer widget @cerulean river thanks for the input here. what if we just made it so the game never auto-selects the next thing in your inventory if your current item is used up...?

[cerulean river]

Yes. XD

That would also be acceptable imo!

[river fjord]

im trying to think of any good reason we should not just do that

[dim sequoia]

I like that

I accidentally placed my myth eggs that way before

[cerulean river]

As someone who has been using mobile a lot more recently I will say that I do rely on the auto selection of the next item as the inventory is kind of a pain to scroll through, especially when items seem to load in so slowly and because the action of scrolling down itself is a little janky/sputtery 😅

But not having anything selected would solve a majority of other humans complaints and I'm sure one day the scroll on mobile will become smoother so yeah 😛 needless to say, I'm still an advocate for doing that abd leaving our hands empty after an item stack is used up !

[river fjord]

better scroll on mobile is actually almost ready

it got uhhh... complicated....

.......

[cerulean river]

These are the good good things the magic garden players yearn hear

[cerulean river]

Oooo woah o:

[river fjord]

i am very interested in the point about autos-elect being useful on mobile

[cerulean river]

Complicated seems like an understatement, but definitely seems as though y'all are making sure to cover all your bases !

Exciting though ! I can't wait for the smoother scrolling experience to drop

[river fjord]

are there specific situations where auto-selecting the next item is particularly helpful?

like autoselecting one seed into another? or a seed into a tool?

[cerulean river]

Right before or during lunar events it makes it much easier and faster to swap out any crops that I'm potting/planting !

That's no. 1 for me anyways 😅

[river fjord]

oh that's interesting, perhaps we could make it so it auto-selects potted plant -> potted plant

[cerulean river]

Could it possibly be a toggle in the settings to auto select next item or not ?

[river fjord]

we could always add a toggle but i'd love to make it 'Just work" if we can find a way

[cerulean river]

Ooh ! Yes ! That would work too!

[river fjord]

planting a potted plant is also quite a bit less destructive than e.g. planting a seed i'd imagine since you can just pot it again

[dense axle]

same

oh wrong one

[cerulean river]

Agreed ! Aside from decor items being auto selected as well, I can't really think of any other scenarios where I've actively wanted something to be auto selected/in my hand once a stack is used up

So decor and potted plants, that's my final verdict 😅

[river fjord]

cool - i can look into that!

[pastel valley]

Please please please please

Oh you asked for opinions half an hour ago

I’m late

Forgive the ping

[river fjord]

no its good i apprecaite it!

[outer widget]

I'm okay with it auto selecting the next thing, but auto selecting the previous thing is confusing. And at this point it feels like it just selects something in my bag at random 🫣

[outer widget]

That flowchart doesn't make any sense, where do I pick whether I'm an autumn or a winter aesthetic?

[deft furnace]

I would prefer this tbh…it prevents any unwanted/unexpected activities. ESPECIALLY if scroll improves on mobile

[river fjord]

i cracked up ngl

[river fjord]

no connection to scrolling on mobile. that's gonna get better separately, it's basically done i might ship it tongiht actually

[deft furnace]

No I meant

I won’t mind no auto select and I especially won’t miss it once scrolling is faster

[river fjord]

ahhhh i gotcha

[deft furnace]

Auto select never goes the way I want it to go

Why can’t you just make it so that the game can just read my mind

[outer widget]

I think the best case for auto selecting seeds is when my worm puts in a fill day at the cluttering my inventory factory and I need to get rid of all of them real quicklike. But since using Aries Mod with seed deleter that's less of need. Other than that, it's just "plant all the bamboo I have and after that start planting cactus to fill out the rest of the field. Maybe useful on mobile, but I avoid large planting sessions on mobile anyway so an extra click isn't the end of the world

[deft furnace]

Let’s see your flowchart for THAT

[river fjord]

does your worm not put them into your seed silo directly?

[outer widget]

I've found it annoying that I can't pot multiple things in a row without reselecting the pot 🤔

[deft furnace]

When I buy existing silo-positioned seeds manually, they go into my inventory. Is that how it’s supposed to behave?

[outer widget]

Typically, I like my systems to be as predictable as possible. Just like the driver's license exam said "the biggest cause of accidents is being unpredictable"

[outer widget]

Good! Making you laugh is like 80% of the reason I'm here

[outer widget]

My seed silo 🥲

[deft furnace]

I’m obsessed with this show and quote this in my daily life with regularity

[outer widget]

I'm annoyed that the gif is so low quality, but it gets the point across

[deft furnace]

The audacity of avi to just assume every player is a magic garden multitrillionaire

[outer widget]

Literally just today I managed to hit 50B after 6 months of playing

[river fjord]

i think only seedfinders go into the silo is how it's meant to work

[dim sequoia]

Wish I could read it. I bet it’s a funny quote

[river fjord]

to be fair most of y'all are in this discord apparenty lol

me with my 8B being the poorest person by 100x

Ugh I hate threads 😭

Pretend that embedded

[wild breach]

Omg I didn’t know seedfinders put them into the silo. Do they create extra dimensional space in the silos like they do your inventory?

[outer widget]

@dense axle doesn't invite me to his yacht parties because I don't have a yacht that fits on his yacht, I just have a stupid BIG BOAT 😫

[river fjord]

extra dimensional space?

[wild breach]

When your inventory is full, if you don’t have strawberry seeds already your worm will still somehow find a way to give you strawberry seeds even though you would not be able to buy them

[deft furnace]

Oh a 101/100 inventory spot?

I did not know that

[outer widget]

My worm for 6 hours a day

[river fjord]

sounds like a bug

[cerulean river]

101.. 102.. 103.. 104.. seed finders really love pushing limits eh

[cerulean river]

I thought this was a feature

[wild breach]

Me too we’ve talked about it before 😭

[cerulean river]

a less than ideal feature... but still a feature lol

[wild breach]

An intentional bug?

A pest?

[outer widget]

It's called giving 110%, my PE teacher used to tell me I had to do that when I didn't want to run the mile

[outer widget]

A ladybug

[brisk crown]

Having a situation with Clovers.
Clovers have what, 15?
EX: I'm picking #2 and it just changed to #3 unprompted which caused me to pluck it.

Thats so tilting, it happened again - i was picking a clover and it just swapped mid pick, thats two four leaf clovers i've pulled out of this one spot because of this

Also while we're on the topic of buttons 😅 When i am trying to pot something, i have to click it every time. doesnt appy the same for all the other tools.
why its an Issue - having to reclick can accidently then lock the pot, and accidently harvest.

[brisk crown]

Cries in donuts

[outer widget]

It just selects random things I swear 😭

[brisk crown]

TWICE MAN, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WORK THAT WAS TO GET 3 FOUR CLOVERS?! AND EXPENSIVE LOL

[outer widget]

I demand restitution. Give me three dawn binders for the emotional suffering. Thanks @mellow fossil

[brisk crown]

give me better RNG so i dont have to hatch 3k eggs to get a crop eater while i only have two more mutations to unlock until these clovers got added

OMG i was trying to speed grow my plants and it JUMPED to a rainbow clover while i was holding down my mouse to speed the growth w/ donuts

it did it again and i picked it

internally screaming

[outer widget]

It happened again 🫣

I know I look very chill but I am very not chill about this

[river fjord]

just wanna say i'm officially working on this

[brisk crown]

i just wanna say thank you, youre goated

[drowsy moon]

I have a reason ☝️ idk how maybe other ppl do this, but I have a pony out regularly that gets me seeds. I plant all of the single harvest ones multiple times a day. I order my seeds in the order I want to plant them, sell my fields, then just replant til I'm out of space. Usually 6 or 7 different seeds. I take advantage of the right-ward auto-select for that multiple times a day, it's the left-ward one that is new and I don't like TwT

[dim sequoia]

Yh right was ok. Left is a whole new thing

[river fjord]

just out of curisoity... why? because right = more recent?

[dim sequoia]

The arrangement for right made sense usually in placements and also yh more recent. Like every egg I have is right to my myth egg. I’m more team, doesn’t auto select at all but if it has to I’d rather it be from the right

I’m like half asleep typing this so I hope it makes sense

[outer widget]

It's a simple explanation, but I think because I'm a native English speaker so most things move from left to right in my brain. If I have a list of things, I can see them going left to right. If it suddenly starts moving right to left I get confused. You've created Japanese manga.

[dim sequoia]

ahhh guess which egg got auto selected

[dense axle]

... the white one

[outer widget]

I look chill but I'm crashing out fr

[outer widget]

I genuinely don't know how this happened, the apple seeds were nowhere near the end of my inventory

[hasty tendon]

if its next to the last thing you used

it also gets auto-selected

safest is to lock things you dont want to use anytime soon

[outer widget]

I feel like needing to go into my inventory and one by one unlocking every single see I want to plant is worse than just needing to select the seed every time you wanted to plant it

At least that way you don't need to lock every time you buy a new egg or seed

THis is starting to get rediculous

[hasty tendon]

right clicking an item locks it instantly btw, without having to open the card. just in case you dont know

and you can also select the items in the quick access bar with numbers

these keybinds are very helpful, but ive always felt theyre not obvious to users

[river fjord]

i haven't forgotten about this thread btw

[outer widget]

I did know, but it doesn't solve my real problem of "seed finder and buying random junk clutters my inventory and it's a chore to have to lock every single thing that enters my inventory so I don't accidentally put the legendary eggs with the bamboo"

[outer widget]

Better not >:(((

[cerulean river]

Would it be possible to add a "lock all/unlock all” button somewhere into he inventory UI ? Or is that kind of complicated ?

Either way, just a thought 😅

[river fjord]

would that set the "lock" option for every item you had...? like the 🔒

[cerulean river]

yeah ! (:

[river fjord]

hmm, what would be the usecase?

[outer widget]

I would be terrified to accidentally unlock my lucky rainbow banana and not notice until after I sold it 😱

[cerulean river]

I think it'd help out a lot regarding the issue in this thread as an example. But also as another example I'd say it's help more-so in general for players who are about to sell any pets that way they don't accidently miss locking the ones they care about.

In my opinion, it's one thing to have to unlock the stuff you want to use, it's another to have to both initially lock it and then have to unlock it when you're ready to use it. (Especially if you're on a mobile device or tablet since locking and unlocking is a pain on those devices)

Additionally, having a "lock all/unlock all” button that only applies to the items you're sorted by/viewing would make it easier to target just one category of items at a time too.

ex. sort by pets → press "lock all" button → all pets regardless of current locked state become locked

and then the same button could also be used to "unlock all" if clicked a second time kind of thing

Hopefully that makes sense 😅

Obviously I don't know much about the inner-workings of the game so I don't know how complicated it would be to add a feature like that, but I definitely feel as though it would be a well received feature if added

[cerulean river]

you lock things? jkjk

[cerulean river]

naweh I get that though, but definitely if there was a way to sort by category and then do the lock/unlock thing that would be better imo, but there's always gonna be pros and cons to features like what I mentioned just purely due to many individuals playstyles QQ
