Hi there fellow Glitchen!
Firstly I would like to thank the following people, without whom none of this would have been possible: Groist Plobber, Dee Licious, swampfox2222, jazzcrash, epid, forcep, Chinny The Useless, Lil Face, JacquesNorris, Parintachin, Cotu and Hell's Bartender - You guys have made this whole idea come alive and working together with you has been an absolute pleasure! Thank you all!
So.. the route. The idea was to have a mini route with all available resources on it (except for wood and crop/herb gardens) but have just one singular resource per street. Each street would have the maximum possible of that one resource. After much planning and working out the logistics, the final route looks like this:
Mortar Barnacles - Just Willow
Bean Trees - JacquesNorris
Bubble Trees - forcep
Egg Plants - Lil Face
Fruit Trees - epid
Gas Plants- cotu
Spice Plants - Chinny The Useless
Dirt Piles/ Peat Bogs - Groist Plobber
Beryl Rocks/ Dullite Rocks - Parintachin
Firefly Hives - Swampfox2222
Metal Rocks - jazzcrash
Jellisac Growths - Dee Licious
Sparkly Rocks - Hell's Bartender
The streets are connected via the top sign post on each street and complete in a circle. Each street has a gnome with a programmed greeting that's customised to suit each street like so:
"{INSERT RESOURCE}!! To continue on the Express Resource Route click the TOP SIGN - {INSERT NAME} next with {INSERT NEXT RESOURCE}!"
There's also a note at each signpost with the same info, in case the gnomes are being pesky ;)
The order of the streets is deliberate. There are currently 2 types of resource. One is harvest-able "once a day" and the other is "respawning" resources. So along this route you have all the "once a day" resources grouped together, followed by the "respawning" resources. When you get to my street (Barnacles) if you click the bottom sign it takes you back to the first "respawning" resource, therefore creating a mini loop of "respawning" resources that you could effectively harvest perpetually if you chose to.
This opens up the route for use by glitchen for different purposes. You could do the whole route once a day to get a bit of everything. You could do the route but skip the resources you don't want to harvest and concentrate on the ones you do. You could pick one respawning resource and perpetually harvest that one street. You could do the whole route with a friend or a group, maxing up your harvests for respawning resources.
There's lots more I could write but it's nearly 5am now and I need to sleep soon lol! I do plan on writing up some statistics like length of route and minimum harvest potential etc but we're still in testing at the moment.
Please leave any questions or comments below and I'll try and answer if I can :)
[UPDATE] Now with slightly crappy pickchur/diagram and new name - MERL
