Do fields decay?

[Saya]

Do fields decay nowdays in case they are located on unclaimed area?

[Kandarim]

they never have - and for that matter fields are not subject to normal decay mechanics. They require the use of salt to first lower their purity, after which salt can be used to destroy them.

Great!
Can I place them in overlapping manner like before?
What about fields in mines? still possible or fixed?

[JohnCarver]

Niether is possible anymore.

[Kandarim]

both of those were fixed probably like two years ago.
The 1x1 field fix is still available somewhere if you have issues rendering giant cotton farms

nvr4get the 1x1 mine fields

Niether is possible anymore.

[Kandarim]

Niether is possible anymore.

I see, mr. painbringer

actually, both were patched under jorbtar's regime, early open beta.

[Saya]
