Add Guano or Water - No Choice

I have an issue with the guano.

I was in an Herb Garden last test and happily went around watering plots of dry plants. This was done while I was on my way to the caves to get guano. So I get my guano and go back to the herb garden. When I hovered over the plant plots to see which might need watering, they all came up the a message to fertilize the plots. So I fertilized the plants until I ran out of guano. As soon as I ran out of guano, I got a message to water the plots. It looked like you could not water if you had guano to fertilize.
I did a quick test to see if this was true. Off to the caves, got some poop, back to herb garden. Again, I got the fertilize message. Instead of fetilizing, I dropped the guano. As soon as I did I got a message to water the plots.
It seems you can only water when you have no guano. I would like an option of watering or fertilizing, especially in the herb gardens. Guano collection was a little hard (fast little buggers) and I really wanted it for my own crops at home. (I have discovered in the forums (thanks Joe Blow - beta.glitch.com/forum/gener... ) an excellent method to collect guano easily. But I still want to be able to decide who get my poop (couldn't resist saying that, sorry).

Anyone else want a choice?

  • +1 (Hi Ruby!)

    I noticed this the first time I found guano. I didn't know what it was for so it was just sitting in my bag. I sort of... thought I was going to water an herb and ended up guano-ing it instead, because there was only the one option and I had previously only seen it as "water."

    Well, I got a yellow crumb flower out of the deal, so it wasn't all bad. :D

  • You could just drop the guano?

    ** This seems like more of something to bug report - cause Im sure it wasnt intentional to force players into fertilizing the crops

  • I'm pretty sure they fixed this issue
    When did you try?

  • I haven't experienced this yet, but I think it's probably because after I mine and collect in the Deeps, I teleport home to drop off the stuff I didn't sell, and that includes guano, since I hoard it for my own plots, but it sounds like an issue or bug to be reported?

  • The devs did roll out a bug fix during the last game so that you had a choice of either fertilizing or watering a garden plot.

    The bug was that you could not water if you hadn't fertilized.  It's not clear whether that bug was that you could never water if you didn't fertilize, or whether having guano in your inventory kept you from being able to water unless you had previously fertilized.

    Personally, I'd like the menu to give you the either/or choice so you could water without fertilizing even if you had guano in inventory.

  • Yes, I could drop the guano but I shouldn't have to.

    I didn't think this was a bug. I thought it was just how they programmed it to happen so I didn't report it. Thanks for the link JW. Looks like it was fixed.

    The problem happened to me early in the last test. Perhaps it was before it was fixed. I will try again this next test to make sure. I will reported it as a bug if it is still happening.

    Hi Seylah - Glad you got a yellow flower. I wonder if it was the one I planted. lol ;)

    Thanks to all for responding :D

  • Yeah I had this problem early on but I am also fairly sure it got fixed.
