Tree poisoning...

OK, so this is like the 100th time I have accidentally poisoned a tree when trying to harvest it.  Can we have a dialogue box that comes up to double check when we poison a tree, puh-lease?!?!?

  • I wouldn't mind such a dialog either.  However, I do keep my poison in my cabinet at home for just such this reason.  I've never needed to use it, so...

  • Just one dialog?  How about the dialog is up in the air and you have to use spinach to reach it...

  • I've always wanted to know why they can't be like Fertilidust et al. You have to use the verb menu for just about everything but poison and antidote.

  • Excellent idea Mary.

  • Yes, please! I wasted an old-style bottle of tree-poison yesterday for no reason.

  • Thumbs down to extra dialog boxes.

    Thumbs up to having poison behave like Fertilidust, like MaryLiLamb suggested.

  • But, that's what the tree poison antidote is for. Also, ideas forum?

  • The tree poison antidote is primarily for unpoisoning trees that other glitchen poisoned but you don't want to die, more than for recovering from your own typos.  You don't necessarily even *have* antidote when you accidentally poison.  Early in the game, you learn that interacting with trees is something you can do quickly and safely, harvest-harvest-pet-water, usually you want to do them all.  Then when you get a poison in your inventory, suddenly that dialog becomes something you have to be careful with and mistakes can be quite costly.

  • -1, this has come up a lot and I still have the same attitude:Why are you carrying poison if you don't want to poison trees? Leave it at home, or interact more carefully.

  • You are right Stuv......I was just carrying my bags with items I wanted to keep from my home in Kajuu to my new home...but I realised I could water and pet and harvest my trees first, empty my still and then go on my way....So....that was the moment I didn't pay attention very well....unfortunately. Otherwise I dont keep items with me if anything can go wrong. Just a bad timing. :(
