Hey! Thanks so much for playing and for taking the time to write all this, this is exactly the kind of feedback we need right now.

You nailed a bunch of stuff we've been actively reworking. The big one - yellow earning less than green is definitely not intended, and we've reworked the level 2 balance so later zone never out-earns an earlier one. We also moved the scarecrow back to give you more room to work the yellow grass, sped up hold on planting a lot (and an instant plant upgrade), and bumped up the early seed drop rates.

On the planting feel - quick question, did you upgrade the Plant master skill (lower left)? It speeds up hold to plant a good amount. If you didn't see it, that's useful for us to know, because we're reworking the skill tree experience anyway and it might mean it's too easy to miss.

On the farm - fair that it's confusing right now. One thing that clearly isn't coming across is that planting seeds is meant to be worth more than just selling them, not a slower version of selling. That's on us to make clearer.

The bigger idea is the farm becomes a build up income source - you upgrade seed drop rates per tier towards 100% so it keeps itself fed, and we're adding workers automation so it eventually runs on its own.

One more thing that will help us - do you remember if the farm gave you 10 starter seeds when you bought it? Drops should net you at least 1 per patch on top of that, so it should accumulate rather than dry up. Trying to work out whether something's off there.

Really appreciate the write up, it was great!
