I have completed a pass through the farming code to implement quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and optimizations to farming! Also, soil decay rates are much lower, so you don't have to maintain your soil so often!
This is the first iteration to improving the farming mechanic. I am continuing to work on improving the farming system as it is obviously the base for growing many of the needed foods and resources for many more crafts to come! I just wanted to get this quick update out the door as I continue to design the next content for the game.
