Now that all the spice trees in Groddle Forest are gone, the only place that grows spice plants are Ix, 'Shimla', Chakra, and Jethimadh...Shimla doesn't seem to have any tree patches, so that doesn't really count. Chakra is predominately dark patches for egg plants (14 streets of eggs to 10 streets for regular trees), so yet another less than optimal tree location - let the regular trees remain gas/bean if people want that there. So, please, can we have a few spice trees back in Jethimadh? I know people wanted more gas plants this past game, and I understand that, but the spices are critical for all the cooking skills and even for one of the blocks in blockmaking. At one point we were down to only 15 spice trees in Ix for the entire game world. We're currently down to 7 spice trees in Ix, and only 5 survived in Jethimadh after planting 7 in the swamps today...so that means only 12 spice trees total in game.
There are now more than enough gas plants in the world (currently 76 world wide)...and there isn't that much use for gas that I've seen. Needed for 1 block recipe, and I think one egg recipe...is there something else I'm missing? But still compare that to all the recipes for cooking and drink making...I guess people would rather not eat...which is going to make for some really short game days...
Just please can we have a bit of balance?! Especially with really only two primary areas that can sustain Spice plants. Thanks!
