Wouldn't it be awesome if companion crops along with competing crops were added to the game so that organic gardening has more of the spotlight vs monocultures?
I think each crop could have likes and dislikes about other crops that act upon the speed of growing and or the final quality based on each crop's properties?
Then there could even be pests, and we could use crops to decoy the pests (ie: use amaranth next to cucumbers to attract beetles away from the cucumbers). Maybe of you make enough companion crops variety in a specific radius it would totally negate pests, say if you have the correct 3-4 types of crops in a 3x3 tiles radius then it would make it fully pest resistant or other buffs, while if you decide to go monoculture you would get to purchase pesticides with the joja route only or super expensive at pierre's?
Let me know what you think of this idea, I think companion crops would introduce more depth to min maxing and would make experimenting with crops combo and layouts more interesting overall. It would also be an excuse to add more crops overall, I wouldn't be mad if there were 3x the amount of crops that exist currently.
