Crops in my yard.

I am sooo confused, first of all I hate taking care of my crop gardens in my yard.  I have to hoe, then I have to water, then plant, then seed.  What skill should I learn to make it easier?  Soil appreciation, Light Green Thumb or Gardening?

Or is each step of maintaining my crop garden in each of those skills? Does Soil Appreciation make it shorter to hoe and then then Light Green Thumb makes it easier to water?  I am not even learning a skill right now,  anything to make tending my crops easier!  (funny because in IRL I love gardening)

Right now I have Soil Appreciation 4, Gardening 2 and Light Green Thumb 2.  Thanks for any help.

  • None of the skills make it easier.  Wish they did.  Lowers energy needs, ups xp and harvest gotten.

  • You're missing the most important skill:  Croppery.  Gardening has more to do with trees (I know, I know, I've been making suggestions about labeling skills differently for ages)

  • Not true. CROPPERY makes it easier :D

    Croppery 1: Extra crops when harvested
    Croppery 2: Less energy to plant, water, and harvest.

    Edit: Wow, I am super slow. I read another thread while this one was open...

  • we need a "water all", "harvest all", & "hoe all" option  :)
    I mean if you stand a certain way all the plots light up so we should be able to do that...eventually
    pls.
    lol

  • ^ Excellent idea. However, it might be wise to only make multiple plot operations available after a player has performed a set number of single plot operations, or after learning a particular skill. Could I suggest adding planting seeds to your list of multiple plot operations?

    Similarly, feeding piggies 3x veggies, examining x plops, and picking up x packets of seeds could usefully each be made into single operations.

  • If you carry this to it's logical conclusion, then there would be a facility to define all your daily housekeeping duties so with one click you could "Do Daily Chores."  Then one click for "Gather 1000 beans."  Most profitable tasks in Glitch require numerous clicks and lots of repetition.  You have to choose how you're going to spend your time and what you want to accomplish.  If growing crops requires to much clicking for you, you can always decide to buy things from the produce vendor.  It's part of the design of the game.

  • If you don't enjoy doing something, don't do it.  It's as simple as that.

  • Anybody knows if Croppery affects herbs as well?

    I have herbology 2 but still don't see any differences in harvesting herbs. A "super harvest" from time to time, but that seems to be it.
