ok its a great idea they placed it onto the game.

but i think its annoying for it to pop up every time you press on a field.its not a very commonly used fuction.i think it should be placed on the adventure tab or something.so that inspecting crops would be like it was before right click and inspect,not right click chose then inspect(the more fields the more you have to do this).it was much easier how it was before.sometimes when adding humus to the field that menu would pop up wich made it a bit more annoying.

Yes it does seem like we probably botched that implementation. Its on our list to fix but we didn't get to it in the august patch.

The rip up function has at least two uses other than just correcting a mistaken planting. I might not have found these if the flower menu wasn't popping up on me so often.


Prepping new fields: You can plant cabbage, dump on woodchips to reduce the upkeep, then rip up the cabbage. You now have a 50% upkeep field to work with without waiting.

Planting tiered fields: If you're planting an important field (say, sea island cotton), and you get a low bonus plenty from your S&C, then you can add one woodchip, rip the field, and try again until you get a bonus that you're pleased with.

This is why you guys cannot have nice things.

Clever use of it, hadn't thought of them myself.

I'm more agree with TemplarKnight opinion , was really easier before .

Tammer's tip are funny , but he lose the prepping humus and seeds : I prefer keeping them (too hard to get those at high purity) and spamming crappy fertilizer like lime or low purity humus

yeah

I considered the upkeep use, but figured that would not be possible :p
Wouldn't it be possible to insta-tier fields like this, though? I haven't tried, but if upkeep is affected I assume the influence counters are affected as well?
I should hurry and use all these haystacks I've built

Wouldn't work with influence because the "influence %" thing is a different variable than the actual bar values, whereas with chipping the upkeep gets modified directly rather than it being a modifier to be applied to the upkeep value when the field is done cooking.

Influence adjusted at harvest.
