    I like gardening in this game. I would love to see fruit and nut trees available too. Perhaps they take longer to reach maturity, but once they do they are not destroyed when you harvest the fruit. Cactus and Palm fruits could be found in the desert, apple trees and hazels in the forest, Mangoes and cashews in the jungle, etc...

    *teary eyed* yes please.

    a nice apple tree could fit into so many on my designs

    (i do more landscaping with plants as opposed to farming)

    I also vote for this, as well as mobs dropping more meat, i have starved a few times from starting on a planet that has food i couldnt eat and no mobs dropping meat, before my starting plants were ready to harvest

    We have apples in the game already. Why not an apple tree?

    I like this. More healthy food!
    Also love the gardening in this game but it's a bit fast in my opinion.

    The fruit thing is a wonderfull idea, this makes it more possible to play a vegan/vegetarian character. This would add a lovely RPG element.

    Being able to grow/harvest all the cooking materials you need to cook would be a great idea. i mean where are the space cow? We got milk so why not space cow? I know it does not have anything to do with the topic at hand but still it is at the basis of being able to create basic cooking materials.

    Mangoes and cashews would be gorgeous. I feel there's a lot that could be done here, but first, the recipe, hunger, and hunting systems need some work (otherwise I'll just keep eating from the same stack of alien meat I harvested with my valuable hunting knife on the first ever planet I teleported to).

    This is a brilliant idea. Furthermore- the starting quest should reflect the option to farm instead of collecting meat. Do this or that sort of situation, with either way leading to quest completion.

    Eh, I don't the devs should stop teaching people how to make bows over crafting and using hoes.
    I recommend both, as part of the questing system offering optional tutorial quests to help people learn the game.

    I agree with you. Starbound is a game that can take us in many directions, so I would absolutely like to have the farming aspect expanded.

    I believe I saw cactus with fruit on one of the desert planets. I wish we could harvest the fruit for food.
