A way to fix farming.

At the beginning of farming, everyone was very excited and all the farm materials were pricey. But now, since everyone has better stuff and some people even have tractors, interest is low and farming prices are low. Additionally, there’s nothing to do once you get everything (except for buying recube items).
My idea is that farming be split up into 4 3-month seasons. Different crops would be available during each season to match real life seasonal crops. At the end of each season, your recubes would be transferred into cubits. (EX: 1 recube =10 cubits) Recube only items (except the recube decorations/flowers) would also turn into cubits, based on their price on the farm store. This would basically make it so you restart every 3 months. It would also bring more interest to farming, and people who get everything don’t have to be bored when they finish everything.

I do like the idea of adding seasonal elements though.
I would like to point out that it wasn't a mystery to us that people would eventually have large farms and large recube balances and be looking for more to do with farming, and so it was always planned to introduce more items/recube packs / recube game elements etc... And those will come. I think a few with the thanksgiving update in Nov.
I did not mean to say they would be IN the thanksgiving pack. I said they would probably come into the game with that update. That is.. at the same time.
The thanksgiving pack is a smaller pack compared to halloween and xmas. There's some limit to the theme. As for what's in the pack well... you'll have to wait and see :-)
I agree that a transfer system of changing recubes to cubits would be abysmal. You already have the option to purchase recube items and sell them for cubits anyway...so it's a transfer system of sorts, just takes a little more work.
I would like to see more options to purchase things/decorations with recubes though, as I eventually acquire more of them...but I'm still a long way off from that...I'm still a noob when it comes to farming, as I'm more focused on mining since I can't always get into the game daily right now. But that's okay...slow and steady with the farming is okay with me.
Will the pumpkin seeds/future event seeds be coming back every year? If not I can see these seeds going thousands of cubits each.. they’re already 100 cubits each but once most of them have been planted and grown they will rise and rise.. unless they come back some way. And let’s be honest a thousand cubits or more for a seed is a bit crazy. Who knows they could be 1k each by next Halloween.
Maybe I am wrong, but I really don't see a huge future in the seeds. This is just my POV. Maybe you know something I don't, or have a prediction that makes more sense than my own, but whatever. Just wanted to say my piece. :P
Maybe the craftable decoration will be 1000c each, but never the seeds.
But I enjoy the idea of monthly stuff
