Gathering Pineapples.

[julie2]

Many Cantrian yeas ago, the option of doubling the gathering rate for pineapples by using knife was suddenly removed. I didn’t complain, at the time, because worse changes were occuring, and besides, I thought maybe they’re efficacy had been increased to compensate. I now know that it hasn’t, at least not substantially, if at all.

C’mon. what’s the point in that? Pineapples were already just about the least economical of the healing foods before this change occcured, (It took more than a full day’s gathering just to heal 1% damage). Why not just remove them fronm the game altogether to save people from wasting their time on them?

And how about giving Siom, for one, a respectable healing food to harvest? They’ve nothing else worth gathering in quantity, save potatoes; and the value of those is just about to be drastically reduced ,isn’t it? (on acccunt of they’ll be worthless as travelling food, and twice as much work to transport to outlying communities, what’s more...if outlying communities still want them)

Get off your butt and travel to your neighbors next door and get bananas. Establish trade

I do think that the gathering rate that was removed should be put back in. It's only reasonable and rather logical.

They are not the worst healing food though. Try seaweed, or sugar, they're horrible. I have a char on burgeo that need something like ten or eleven kilos of seaweed to get back to full health, and there's nothing else that heals in the area.

Yes, that's the reason poor Donnie Frankenmyrtle didn't make it. I was sad to see him go. It was interesting that I started him while I was in Kenya in an internet cafe and he ended up in Burgeo like that.

Yeah that's exactly what my character does, but for your average Siomite, it's increasinly hard to gather anything worth trading. And it's no use the Deputies sendin the criminals off to trade for bananas is it? Nope, they're stuck there gahering pineappleles, just like they always were., even thouh bananas can be gatherered seven times as fast. The RD doesn't have it in for Siom do they?

For your information, julie2, I have already raised this issue in the RD. Be patient... good things come to those who wait...
