[not a bug] Paper trees have different action menus

I like to pet and water each tree I interact with before I harvest from it. (I found in the past that this occasionally increases the output when harvesting.) I've noticed that the order of actions on the paper trees is unlike the other trees, in that the "Harvest" option is right at the top (rather than at the bottom as with the others), so by accident and when not paying attention, I end up harvesting paper before being kind to the tree. I'd recommend consistency in menu ordering.

  • Does it really matter? The tree is only a lump of JavaScript and some images. I'm sure it doesn't *really* mind whether you harvest before or after you are kind to it.

  • (a) I'm not sure, but I *think* it might yield a slightly larger harvest after I've been kind to it.
    (b) Consistency rocks.

  • +1 for consistency. Seems like a simple fix anyway.

  • Due to the way that we populate the list of verbs for each object, there's no practical way to solve this problem right now. We have some infrastructure in place to adjust the ordering but it's not complete and I wouldn't really want to be the one to lie and say I had any idea when we'd finish off the rest of the work necessary to fix it. We'll look into this again when the work's done, but for now, this isn't likely to be fixed anytime soon.
