i was bothered with wheat harvesting taking so long, and not really worth the time, so i put my grain field on fire cause i was mad at it, and it burned down leading the sheafs of grain lying, just waiting to be pcked up now i seed large fields away from my house and lit it up with a stance next to it to watch the show
I always have done it that way, then I eventualyl constructed a scythe, so you can run along and swing wildly to weaken your grain- takes less time to burn
It can be. I flame-harvest because it's less effort. With scythe-harvesting, you have to hit each plant 3 times (if I remember correctly.) This uses up plenty of thirst, hunger, and tiredness. With flame-harvesting, you only have to light one plant (or maybe 3 or 4 around the edges so it goes faster), and then you go chase butterflies or gather berries or round up your kiwis or ANYTHING more useful than wasting energy.
You can flame-harvest trees too, but it takes longer. Plant them as tight as you can (away from the stuff you want to keep). Let them mature, then fire them. Piles and piles of logs that way, although it doesn't help your logging skill.
