Quality of Life: Gathering

[Sarahphim24]

I think some minor changes can make a big impact on gameplay. 

• Breakdown options; like destroying grass blades for plant fiber
• Weeds - they grow like weeds so why am I running out of dandelions after making two small houses?
• Map markers symbols - replace some of the generic ones with clay, quartzite, acorn, etc. markers instead. 
• Be able to destroy webs to harvest webs
• Acorn shells are two few. After the latest update I only get 1 per acorn down from 2. I think 4 shells and 1 top per acorn would be a good balance.

A ~LOT~ of my Dandelions and Husky Weeds were "Harvest Once" and they never grew back ..... ever ...... 
            I'm on Game Day 610 and slowly running out of Weeds that still grow back ...

 ~Y E S ~ or just let me mark a container with the item that goes in it .. and have the icon for that item show on the container ...

We can already do this. .... You probably mean the cone webs the Weavers leave around ... 
We should be able to Harvest those ....

I Can NOT Agree With This MORE .... 
There are several uses for Acorn Shells .... and very very few uses for Acorn Tops ...
I usually just destroy all the Tops ... they have no functional use ... 
On the rare case that I need Tops .. I just go harvest them right then ... cause I can ALWAYS use more Shells, and it's a good excuse to go get some.

Agree with What @Gnith says but on the Acorns -

I've never gotten 2 shells from an acorn, only 1, using both hammers and the mint mallet.  I'm wondering if the OP was in an area they randomly drop and thought they got 2?

I wouldn't say acorns are too few,  you can easily get 2 stacks (20) acorn shells by circling the Oak Tree.

However i do agree they should drop more.  I'd like to see 2 shells per acorn, 3 on rare occasions, like a perfect break.  I think 4 is too many.

Just circled the oak tree, acorns are spawning more frequently than over night.  By the time I circled the tree, killed a wolf spider and got back to my starting point those first acorns I harvested were back.

I got 27 shells total in that one trip.

So unless my memory is faulty on which ones I started with (I start with the same 3 every farming run though) we could basically never run out.

Based on what I just did I now think acorns are too numerous.

What do you mean by options??

I wonder if this is a random problem like my lack of insects in my yard. 

• Map markers symbols - replace some of the generic ones with clay, quartzite, acorn, etc. markers instead.  

YES! but also add the ability to filter the markers because alot of markers are showing up for me now 

• Be able to destroy webs to harvest webs

I think youre speaking about the web cones?  All other webs I can break down.

• Acorn shells are two few. After the latest update I only get 1 per acorn down from 2. I think 4 shells and 1 top per acorn would be a good balance. 

Yeah, I think when  you break down an acorn you should get 1 acorn top, 2 acorn shells, 2/3 acorn bits.  I concur with what you say but 4 might be too much.

considering the size of acorn shells themselves compared to the size of acorn shells in objects crafted using acorn shells, making the acorn shell models smaller so that acorns drop more shells seems like a smart idea.
