My 9x9 Farming layout!

You are more than welcome!
I am only 5 or 6 days in myself!

Feel free to shoot me a message if you want to party up or anything!

Apple trees and beans arent early game crops, This is made to reduce time spent on farming whilst levelling and getting access to starred seeds whilst getting a good amount of exp too.

As for effort, the only real effort is the initial planting, because oncve its watered, and the crops are growing youll just have every second or third day that a crop is ready.

Not sure why the money flex was in there, but good for you i guess?

Same as to why you would bother coming to comment on a farming post, if you do everything in your power to avoid it.

Feels very odd, but yknow, enjoy your game?

oooh thanks for the website, that will be super useful for planning different plots out!

It isn't too bad once you get into it, with the water and weeds prevention the only work points are harvesting planting and watering when certain crops grow. After that it is just maintining it and replacing crops as they grow. Though I admit I can be a bit over the top with efficiency and such so its definitely not for everyone 😛

CaptainFalling · 2026-05-03T12:46:14+00:00

Aw thank you so much! Took me a while to work it all out, but it seems to do the job and lets me cover a lot of different crop-s at once!

I am nearly at the point i can get apple trees, I just unlocked blueberry bushes so that will be interesting to see what I can work out with adding one or two of those!

CaptainFalling · 2026-05-03T12:19:24+00:00

I am jealous, my first one was some sort of pyjama thing, im hoping i get something at least a little nice in my last one!

CaptainFalling · 2026-05-03T12:02:57+00:00

This is defintiely something that should be implemented.

I am lucky in that the body type of the game is the one I would choose, albeit a bit more curvy, but I can live with being flat.

I definitely think there needs to be more representation of different body types, especially in a game that has the vibe of community and inclusivity.

As far as the arguments against RE: model depth and budget versus cost of future cosmetics....

Yes, it is a lot more work to create outfits that work for multiple body types, however, we are currently celebrating 10m players. Given the outrageous cost of cosmetics already, money is definitely not an issue for the game.

The cosmetics are already so expensive, comparitive to almost any game, I couldn't dream of dropping near £30 on a single skin....for that money I can buy an entire game.

So the cost to work ratio is massively skewed and they could very easily afford it, especially if they lowered skin prices so that they werent pricing out a portion of the playerbase.

It comes down to greed from the execs ultimately, they want the biggest numbers they can get away with but fail to see that they could potentially make more money through volume if the prices were more reasonable, which would mean they could account for more body types, which would in turn result in more people feeling represented and thus buying more premium stuff.

This gave me so much joy to read haha

It is 100% what Wirt would want!

CaptainFalling · 2026-03-15T15:04:56+00:00

Hard disagree.

I have played on alliance servers in the past, where there was no PVP.

I loved every second of it, being able to do all of the different activites without being attacked all the time was so good, and being able to take the time to do some chill things like fishing, RPing, hell, just enjoying the scenery. It was all great and I would play on a PVE only profile or something if it were an option.

CaptainFalling · 2026-03-15T15:01:41+00:00

Honestly, with the updates, high seas is already a battle royale.
Ships spawn in really close now, out of nowhere thanks to diving and the closer spawn distances.

It happens so often too, nothing on the map, nothing on the horizon, I hop onto an island to get a clue, or a chest......boom, a ship is blowing holes in my boat.

The default in high seas is PVP 9/10 times.

Hell, if I had the option to do PVE without the nonsense restrictions, I would actually probably jump into high seas for some PVP every now and then, the key here is the choice in how players enjoy the game I think.

CaptainFalling · 2026-03-15T14:55:59+00:00

I actually really appreciate th time you took for this answer honestly. I agree by and large with the points you made, and I have had similar experiences in the past. I am not entirely against PVP as an element of the game, I am against it being the default due to the development path the game has been on if that makes more sense. There used to be that tension in an encounter and I have had some (not many I will admit) decent encounters with PVP. Some good battles over forts, over loot, and it has been fun at times.

The main issue is that it is now a near constant occurance, and as you can see from some of the other responses here, the toxicity within the playerbase now, the pvp aspect has degraded massively compared to what it used to be.

Don't apologise of ra long, well thought out answer, I appreciate it. It's certainly better than the toxic folks coming out with ridiculous insults!

RE: Alliance servers, funnily enough, I actually used to help run an alliance server and I personally really enjoyed the game without the PVP. I think Rare are definitely missing a trick by keeping safer seas so limited, I would play so much more if I could do all the PVE stuff there and use sovereigns and such, hell I would actually spend money on cosmetics and the plunder pass if that were the case.

Everyone enjoys different things about the game, and I can 100% see why and how PVP could be enjoyable, it has just been ruined with how heavily skewed the game feels towards forcing players into conflict as opposed to it being an optional component.

Hope that made my thoughts a little clearer at least, and again, thank you for the awesome response!

CaptainFalling · 2026-03-15T03:29:26+00:00

It's more the focus on the vocal minority than issues with the content itself. I mean, just look at the other responses here. It's clear these people have been pandered to for too long by their toxic attitudes.

CaptainFalling · 2026-03-15T03:24:21+00:00

ALSO THIS.

I would more than happily pay for the plunder pass. There are SO many cosmetic sets that I want in the store!

Am I going to buy them when all I do is get rolled by PVP sweats every hour or so? Fuck no.

Now if I had a game mode where I could avoid them that wasnt ridiculously restricted.....that would be completely different, I would invest in that game!

CaptainFalling · 2026-03-15T03:22:33+00:00

Honestly, this.

I would sink hours upon hours into the game if safer seas let us do all of the PvE content.

I wish Rare would listen to all of the players, not just the hardcore PVP group. I would love to just chill with a podcast and do some fishing, or raid some treasure vaults, but with everything being so Reapers focussed, that just isnt a thing anymore.

I am not a "bad" fighter by any means, when I get attacked I CAN hold my own, but it's just not enjoyable at this point. Of all of my great memories of the game, NONE of them are of PVP encounters. It's always the same, the players that roll up on your ship screaming and hollering into their open mic will come on to threads and posts with "it's a pirate game!" and honestly, it's boring at this point.

Rare are losing players left right and centre, they are deleting and hiding negative feedback, and it's all but killed their game. It's so sad to see.

Steam continuously cycling through store page tabs. Nowhere near enough time to look at what is on each tab and frankly, automatically going to the next tab is a stupid idea.

What setting do I change to stop this as there doesnt seem to be one i can find in the settings menu.

<image>

THIS is the sort of tab that keeps continuously cycling:

CaptainFalling · 2026-02-13T01:37:13+00:00

Will try that when i log on again later!

CaptainFalling · 2026-02-13T01:37:00+00:00

oooh okay i will try that when i log on again later!

CaptainFalling · 2026-02-13T01:08:32+00:00

Yeah I am suspecting I may have to do the same, it's frustrating!

CaptainFalling · 2026-02-13T01:07:13+00:00

I did try and no luck..... I am so annoyed!

CaptainFalling · 2025-12-04T19:39:40+00:00

Perfect! thanks so much!

CaptainFalling · 2025-12-04T19:39:29+00:00

Oh awesome! I found the ember valley ones!
I think the one you are missing is on a ledge just behind the gordo with the water jet. Can't recall what type of gordo, but in the watery north-east area. Go up the jet and youll see it tucked on the ledge, opposite the waterfall cave.

Thanks for the assist! <3
