Suggestions of things to reduce insanity:

Pot something in a gardening pot.
Finish writing a book.
Eat popcorn.

Update looks promising so far; guess I will finally have to start paying stocks and cultivars some more attention when leveling my proficiencies now if I am to get access to Tobacco Planting anytime soon. xD

And for those that suggest having insanity reduction from resting on chairs etc. - realize that this would ruin the penalty for AFK'ing, so only acceptable if it could only be done for a limited amount of time before it triggered insanity increase as a result from boredom (at least I would get bored to death if I was sitting on a chair doing nothing for a good while at least).

Not inconsistent, coal does consistently -50% plenty and +50% speed now on 1st use, meanwhile Lime does +50% plenty and -50% speed with 1st use. They are essentially just useful for balancing the values out now if anything at all. Personally I'd say they've been slightly overnerfed, but I digress.

Indeed I suggest players try out:
Eggshells
Rotten Fruit:
Bonemeal:
& Fertile Turkey droppings

Before making comments on the new system.

And oh yea, go ahead and try dross.

Evidence of the inhalation of cannabis smoke can be found in the 3rd millennium BCE, as indicated by charred cannabis seeds found in a ritual brazier at an ancient burial site in present day Romania.
In 2003, a leather basket filled with cannabis leaf fragments and seeds was found next to a 2,500- to 2,800-year-old mummified shaman in the northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China.

did it not reach the new world?

This is nowhere near accurate. New players do have about 30-50 play hours of which they will need to spend approx 2 of them gathering silver to combat this mechanic ASSUMING they have taken 0 counter-measured against losing their sanity of the course of those play hours.


Not to mention that this mechanic isn't finished.

Why did you have that many fields that were at max upkeep in the first place?

I can not get a crop every day (Bonemeal 200 Speed+Plenty)
So I need to increase the number of fields in the 2-3
And to reduce the need Upkeep is now 60 Wood Choppings (previously 20)

The new fertilizer is difficult to obtain in industrial scale
