james: james: Once the crop wilts they will need to be replaced.

Fertilising an ornamental crop will accelerate their growth and prolong their lifespan.

Gonna say it right now, I totally dislike (#euphemism) the idea of adding YET another maintenance thing for us to deal with, even if optionnal.

There are people who leave the game because of how much maintenance we have to do with portals, tools, weapons, power-coils, machines… I believe we have enough of that already.

However, I’m curious to know if fertilising means you can infinitely increase the lifespan of the plant, or if you WILL at one point have to replace it, fertilising or not.

If you can prolong infinitely the lifespan of the plant, depending on how long we are talking about, I guess I can live with that (even though I won’t like it).

But if the plant ends-up dead despite your best efforts, and you have to go find a new seed on some exo-world, I do not see the point.

The way I see it, Prestige should be permanent, and should only go down if you actively remove blocks in your beacon. It should NOT be something that goes up and down every week because some plants keeps dying and being re-planted.
