Why can't we grow orange poppies?

[goboking]

The poppy in the shipping collection is orange. The poppy in the traveling merchant's inventory is orange. The poppy in the chef's bundle is orange. Yet we're only able to grow white, yellow, and red poppies. What gives?

Are you sure? If so, maybe it's a platform thing. I have definitely grown orange poppies in the PC version.

I just checked my poppy supply on PC. There are 3 colors of poppy we can grow, and they are red, white and a color that could be called yellow or orange. It is a lighter color than the poppy showing in the bundle at the CC. I think what could be called yellow or orange is being called yellow by @goboking and orange by @Squigglyruth, but the point is that what's being asked for is something a little darker, like the one showing in the bundle.

The actual poppy does seem to be slightly lighter. At least on my computer, the difference isn't very obvious.

That makes sense! I guess I never directly compared them.

The odd thing is buying an orange poppy from the traveling merchant puts an orange poppy in your inventory, but it stacks (effectively changing color) with the yellow-orange poppies in chests.

That's extremely odd. @BlaDe , do you know anything about this?

Here's my hypothesis.

Most things that go in your inventory are of class Object. When you harvest a crop that can be coloured, the resulting crop is a ColoredObject (subclass of Object).

When you buy a regular item from the travelling cart, you receive an Object, regardless of whether the item is normally coloured or not.

When stacking items, it appears the intent is to not be able to stack an Object with a ColoredObject. However due to how it is implemented, this can happen. [Code: if ((other is Object && this is Object) || (other is ColoredObject && this is ColoredObject)) ]

Without testing it, it appears that this stacking can go either way, as long as the harvested items are of basic quality.

Are you saying that that orange cart poppy will stack with any non-colored poppy? @BlaDe

From my brief search, yes. And vice versa. As long as it is basic quality.

Haven't tested though.
