Wine of the Dead doesn't work once projects have been started

I need some help! My large herb garden broke and I started to restore it before realizing how prohibitively expensive it was. I managed to get most of the materials on auction, but I don't have Soil Appreciation IV (to do the correct digging) and I don't have Furnituremaking (to use the construction tool). So I figured that I would just get rid of it and start over, bought myself a bottle of Wine of the Dead (again on auction) only to be told "There is nothing here to apply this to." It still works on my non-depleted items, but apparently once you start a project, Wine of the Dead no longer works, so I'm stuck in limbo until I learn the new skills.

Is this a bug or a feature? And if it's a bug, could we get it fixed? Pretty please?

  • I am more than happy to help you restore it. I actually went to your street to do it but looks like it's in your home. If you trust me in your home I would love to help you out. :)

  • Update: Many thanks to the people who helped me restore my garden! You were amazingly helpful!

    But, TS, if you're listening, I'd still like some word on the original issue (i.e. Wine of the Dead doesn't work once you've started a restoration project).

  • I think it's intentional. Your project brought you and other Glitchen together, and I think that's the point :)

  • We are working on reducing the cost of restoration projects and simplifying the requirements somewhat. We are also adding iMG rewards for project completion and are considering a player suggestion that would have cultivated items "level up" a bit each time they are restored. Still a work in progress!

    In the meantime, we might make it so that WotD works on item when the project has already started.

  • Wait does it not work if it gets to the point where the resource is used up and it says Project Available, or do you actually have to START the project and then it doesn't work?  Sorry, I'm confuzled.

  • Once you start the project, you can no longer use wine on the cultivated item. You actually don't need to use wine at all to remove it at that point, though. You can just choose "remove."
