Hi! I’m happy for any feedback π
A short breakdown of the main permaculture-like mechanics/system I have:
The game has a dynamic status system for plants. That means that they do not have a simple watered/unwatered stat that you have to care about once a day per crop but they have different ideal or worse states of watering, soil and neighbourhood. One plant for example has a wider area of ideal watering meaning it likes to have wet soil while another has a very thin ideal zone meaning it is very picky and needs just the right amount of watering. π
Plant neighbourhood is simply calculated by all the crops around a plant in a specific radius. Each liked neighbour counts +1 and each disliked -1. If the total neighbourhood value is above 0 it is good – else the plant stops growing and demands change.
The game also has a multi-chambered composting system (you get better soil/fertilizer from higher chambers but they take longer to transform the compost input).

I want the game to still be cute and have less negative feedback than other farming games (for example no plants can die, they just stop growing) – some more complex gardening system are therefore hard to implement π But I will still appreciate any inspiration and suggestion!!! π
Especially pests and watering systems were named in the past – how would you add pest control without well… killing animals? π€
Thank you in advance for your thoughts! π€
