To our dear hardworking worms

I love the new update. Sure, it gets more difficult, you can't make a well alley, a well labyrinth or build one in front of a door (for even better security), the bakers will have to walk a bit further to take the water (but honestly just make two cistern next to it and problem solved) and the farming situation got a bit more difficult.

Yes life got hard, but we got so many cool stuff ! Corn and popcorn (I've made 20 popcorn bowls just because i loved the little animation), we got a ball of threat, people look fabulous with those hats and those cute little worms are not that useless anymore ! They are so cute when they wiggle around in the harden soil. But I have the feeling that after a long time of being jobless, they got a bit slow. They need one hour to finish their work so we can re-use the soil. But one hour is a lifetime (literally) and people are forced to make a bigger farm, so big even, that it will reach another Biome until those cute little slow creatures are finished.

Is there a possibility to motivate those cute basta- ehm worms ? My idea was to bread those who are the fastest and continue with their fastest children and so on until the soil will be finished in 20-15 minutes ? Or should we get them a treat for when they finish faster ?

Like i said, love the new update, those little monsters and how the game is developing. I just hope that our hardworking worms will get just a tiny bit faster.

Much love,

Tea

Water should really help speed them up.

Only time you ever see worms in dry dirt is after it rains, and, well, it's not really dry anymore, is it?

The ground needs to be moist for worms to do their best work, not water logged, just moist, and it just seems like an extra helping of water would be just the thing to help encourage them to move about an leave lots of casings throughout the soil.

A worm farm would be great though, and being able to add extra worms to the soil should be able to cut the time in half for each worm added. Up to at least three or four of them. But you'd have to have a nice worm farm going, and for that, maybe something like adding dung or dug up plants like teosinte, or some other, plants, fruits, vegetables or just any kind of organic waste to a soil pit would be the way to go.

I've been composting for about 30 years with worms but I don't really know much about breeding them. Maybe there are some 'secret ingredients' that those people who sell crawlers at the bait shops use make all their worms comfortable enough to get it on.

I think breeding worms should be up there with domesticating rabbits... ooh, maybe they could go hand in hand and the rabbit droppings are the secret ingredient to toss in the soil pit?

I think we should be able to breed the worms. What if you could make compost either way worms/poop but if you did it by worms you got two extra worms out after all the soil was grabbed?

I actually did this experiment in high school and found cattle dung to be the best for breeding worms.

Idea:
Worms make 2 new worms when they are finished tilling the row. However, one is slightly darker. This slightly darker worm will till slightly faster. Over time, the worms will become faster and better at their job. They may also create other mutations, like producing 3 worms instead of 2 or making the soil resistant to hardening.
