I had previously indicated to Drakkhis that I thought something with my herb field was bugged. It appeared one of the plots became frozen. What actually happened was that I managed to turn off the progress indicator on that plot only.
What I discovered was that once the herbs are planted I was not able to change the progress indicator on or off. It could only be changed when the plot was completely empty. Also that plot 0 seems to be activated not on the plot itself but by clicking on the outside of the herb field. Not really a problem, but thats why I was confused because I thought it shut them all off.
It would be great if we could change the indicator status on or off regardless of the status on the fields.
Pros: it acts as an added layer of security. Its more difficult for a visitor to plan a potential raid if they have no idea how long is left on the crafting process.
Cons: without being able to turn it on and off at will there is also no way for me to know exactly when the crafting may complete making my harvest also a lot of guess work.
I’d like to see this feature on all of the crafting stations and fields that have long crafting times.
I know I had mentioned not being able to access this menu on the vineyard previously.
I’d like to see it on the fermenter and the aging barrels, farm animals etc.
I love seeing the progress bars on the short term crafting stations and harvests its a very nice visual feedback.
On the long term “crafting items” it takes away from the visual aesthetics of the parcel if there are 10-20 large green progress bars scattered about.
