Re: Compost Bin Purity: Oh crap, how do earthworms work?

Obviously.

I think I'll stop trying to understand it for now and just take it as it comes. At least for the fields. Pots and worms seem easier to "control".

Excuse me.
I suck at math and therefore this whole thing makes me quite sick to my stomach.
I want to play a game, not sit there calculating things, else i'd go back to school and be bored with it again there.
But hey, here's the one and only correct formula.

(seeds+humus+humus)/3+rng

Good luck working out the exact outcome.

I know how you feel. I think the main reason I stick around is because I want to know how a more complete purity system will work.
Also, I hope I didn't offend you. That wasn't my intention.

Oh no, not at all.
Don't worry about it.
I might come across a little peeved but that is because i love this game so much and i feel i have to leave it because it mostly annoys me now instead of the fun i had when i started playing.

Also, i'm grabbing every ray of sunshine i can get over here.

On the subject of worms...

I tried feeding mine some 5% cereal seeds and they ate them no problem, so I spent a small fortune buying up 100% pure seeds that were in the market and none of my worms will touch them. It's been almost 2 days...

Any idea why?

The seeds are cereal, pumpkin, cotton (would understand this not being eaten) and cabbage.

Worms don't eat seeds:P Look up in wiki for "Any plant",that's what they eat. Besides,even if they ate those it wouldn't make a huge difference,you got to gradually build the worm purity.

And values can both increase or decrease accordingly, but always by 10% of the difference between food and worm.

Anyone else?

Seeds are not listed. They shouldn't be considered a plant in my opinion.

I already tried to feed one worm with Ear of cereal and he didn't touch anything.
I never tried with seeds yet.

But in my opinion, if we want to increase worm purity above 40, foraged items will not be enough.
We have to be able to feed them with seeds? or at least cabbage or pumpkin. But if seeds are not eaten, that means Cereals are of no use to raise worm purity.

Either we need pumpkin/cabbage fields or we need to plant sugar caps or garlic in pot to feed the worms with 40+ material.
Fields produce a lot more, and with only pots it will be a pain in the ass to feed all our worms.

Are you SURE you fed them seeds? Because there hasn't been any report by players that they eat seeds. Maybe smth changed with latest update.

I don't really understood why you quoted lachlaan,i said the same thing basically.
