Game Development: As Above, so Below

Has it occured to anyone that this patch might BE the fix?
Anyway, wednesday today, (in europe) tomorrow is patch day... nightmares anyone?

You know if purity of structures, like compost bins, are going to affect the purity that is produced within (which is an ok thing), I think there should be a way to see the purity of the structure. You know like when you open it to take humus out it should display it's purity/alchemy values....just saying

They started coming after this last purity update. I keep dreaming about finding quality compost/items to put in compost.

That would be nice but seeing how they haven't added some of the convenient Ender Client features (like holding shift/control to view purity among other things) I doubt it will happen.

More like the first step in the fixes.

No nightmares from me. I'm just a noob right now, anyway. I run away from bears still, or find the friendly neighborhood deer patrol to take it out for me.

Hell I still haven't got a harvestable tree from the update last week Made a few purity pots and planted the cuttings late Friday, the only tree I got so far is still too small to get branches from to see what its purities are.

humus influence on crops is simply ridiculous, basically you need higher tier humus than the crop you want to plant and How are you going to get high humus when you can't even get that to get good trees???

trying to grow a farm from 0, planted 7% cereal on 0% farm field and got a 1% cereal
planted 5% cereal on 1.05 multiplier humus and got 1.05 cereal lmao

I haven't had time to wade through the 68 pages of bellyaching, so I don't know if this very obvious development point has been raised, but if it has not, it needs to be brought to Jorb's attention: now that the new purity mechanics have been (partially) implemented, it will become necessary for a return to the earlier incarnation of agriculture in which fertilizer purity also had an effect on resultant crop purity. This must be done purely for logical consistency, for if pot materials affect resultant product then fertilizer must also have a similar effect. The effect should be proportionally small, of course, as one can use many fertilizers and a proportionally large value would result in a perpetuation of exploits, but this mechanic is necessary nonetheless. I assume Jorb reads these postings, so I propose that fertilizer purity factor into the final equation at something like 1/8 value (all fertilizing iterations included in 1/8 value), with 3/8 being crop and 1/2 being humus purity. Thoughts?

Only 2 hours and 15 minutes until thursday. I expect a swift patch, mhm. And also, in response to the 1/8th of the output crop purity being determined by fertilizers used, I think that's just overcomplicating an already sufficiently complex system. It would also imbalance the utility of the various fertilizers, in that it's harder to get pure coal than it is to get pure lime. But then unless they make refining of materials available, coal will always be able to reach higher purities than lime. And letting people just spam dross to up their purity defeats the purpose of making pure seeds harder to get. So my thought on your proposal is ... let's just see what changes they add tomorrow, and what they keep implementing until they say that the purity and agriculture systems are finished.

Are you daft, or is this a crude trolling attempt?
