A topic for debate "The ability to dig up milkweed stumps, pros and co
Pros
-optimization of what may be prime real estate for efficient harvest and utilization of milkweed. A milkweed seed grows much faster to maturity than a stump, And allows for my harvests in a smaller area per lifetime.
-a smaller farm is easier to watch and defend from poaching and destruction
- The ability to move stumps that are just in the way of your villages functioning
-after large scale farming of milkweed, the demand drops when everone is clothed, The farm can be scaled back to make room for other things
Cons
-griefers can dig up your milkweed
- The process that equals optimization comes at a heavy water and soil cost

Milkweed stumps disappear if you harvest when not fruiting. If you want to clear stumps, harvest it when not fruiting and wait.

Waiting removes efficiency, The point is optimization.

It's only sixty seconds... also if you're picking the milkweed when it's not fruiting then you don't get any seeds.

Thank you for the time on how long for a stump to disappear, It's useful information. But the lack of seeds from some doesn't matter when you can get basketfuls from a single fruiting.one.
On a side note that works great if it's grown during your lifetime then you can remove it by picking it early, otherwise it's there blocking that square for your entire life most likely

If we want to defend our milkweed from poaching my idea is small patches within a small building that will need to be optimized for maximum yield, which will require being able to.remove the seeding stump left to reseed the spent plots
Still the utility of being able to remove a stump that won't produce for your entire lifetime that's in the middle of camp is a utility

Just pick the milkweed when not fruiting if you really need the stump gone.

This was already discussed, that works if it wasnt picked when fruiting. If it was picked when fruiting and its in a bad spot it will be in the way for an epoch(hour) Or likely your characters entire life. Picking it is a way to get rid of *The milkweed* ×We need a way to get rid of *The stump*

Just FYI, I'd worry about griefers last, and game mechanics first. No matter what mechanics Jason (or you, et al) end up with, griefers will exploit it anyway. So focus on making a good game experience first, and then the people who intentionally ruin that experience, second.
