Listener Questions and Discussions
Question from Jaden
Do you think the herbicide upgrade from POF farmers' market should expand to auto-pickup of noted grimy herbs (without cleaning). I feel like the auto-pickup and cleaning of un-noted herbs isn't that all valuable for how much the upgrade costs... 25K beans. I want to spark some interest in this. Mod Rowley said it could be considered in a future update a year ago. Mod Rowley has replied saying that Orion, Raven, or Tomb could potentially look into this? Thoughts?
