Ideas for incoming fences

Been exploring possible minimum sizes and where and what to place inside and outside.

Here is an example:

What are some of your ideas?

I think your sheep will get out.

Yeah, both of those fences release animals lel.

In relation to fence sizes you've got your ratios off.

You're planting 5 rows of carrots at a time when it should be 6 in a row + 1 seed row.

Your stew farm ratio is at 1:3:4 which doesn't really seem to make sense at all.

Your animal pens are releasing animals which is definitely not something you want to be doing.

And your sheep pen doesn't have exits on the right side of the pen making it so you have to walk all the way around to deposit wool.

Not to mention you are taking up 100 tiles or so just by placing the fences down. Have fun getting people to walk around and maintain them.

So yeah, I don't think those fences do you any good compared to just putting your farms away from each other like we currently do. I also think this shows a big flaw in the whole system. Someone can very easily cobble together a poor fence design and you're stuck with it until it is smashable.

Wheat piles?

Do we have piles, or did you just simplified the wheat bundle sentence?

Indeed. Bushes aren't blocking, fixed!

In relation to the carrots. It's never a good idea to just keep the ratio of rows. You want an excess of carrot seeds just in case. Especially if you want to create other carrot farms.

The ratios of beans to corn to squash aren't that bad. Corn and squash replace themselves, corn with surplus. Beans require you to save a bean or two to replant meaning you always need to cultivate more rows of beans.

I think a 1:2:3 corn:squash:beans ratio is workable. For the beans you reserve 3 for replanting at each harvest and use two with your two squash.

1:5:6 also works.

I like the concept of having your own farm on the inside, but having dedicated spots to put your goods outside for people to use. Gives me hope that this idea of Jason's might actually have some use instead of just being a griefing tool.

I always done either 2:3:1, 3:6:3 or 3:7:2

Not really sure why you would need exact ratios on this as long as you have enough beans + corn for your squash tho.

Beans and corn have extra ways of being used to I often do extra just in case.

You should pick all of the corn right away. Too many people leave it sitting on the stalk, pick it all husk it and plant a new one. If you do that you will have more corn than anything else even if people swipe it for popcorn and cows. You can also do that for the squash. Beans are a problem since to harvest you must tie up a bowl or make an ungodly mess.

I wish I could dry out beans in an oven and harvest them all at once fresh...

And sacks of beans would be nice too, and sacks of crushed corn.

Oh give me sacks!!

I can only really imagine using these fences to make cheap sheep pens and locked milkweed farms. Anything else feels like a lot of work for too little reward. You don't need to wall off a stew farm or a wheat farm. Even carrot farming is not that bad now that the seed rows last forever and the carrots stack. I rarely encounter towns without adequate carrots or seeds to make more quickly.

Sheep can benefit from cheap fences, but they do not require owned gates. Sheep-proof entrances are much better. They keep sheep in and don't slow down workers hauling out wool, mutton, poop, or bones.

I don't forsee any point to everyone keeping a pet sheep of their very own, but I guess you could. Domestic mouflon outside of town in a small biome and everyone goes out to "pick" a pet sheep for their yard. LoL

The word "Cows"
you don't need cows
you need cow, singular, one, uno, solo
on one tile, then you don't need to clean up dead cows, don't have to worry that people feed the small one and create more and more
also you got to get more buckets and people to help give water to it and milk it multiple times

as for sheep pen
even with free resources, the square ones have less walls per more tiles, less time to make for more inner size, i don't see how that can be bad tradeoff even if you can make unlimited fences, not like it would work out well with shaky stuff and people who need to give ownership to others
if they would recognize a kid who lives to 60, they wouldn't give the dumbest kids the clothes

i trust them to keep the family alive cause i got no choice
i don't trust them to water a tree after im gone
that's the reason these are bad for pens
