" Guides ", yes let's use quotes around the only descriptive word for what they are, guides...

These guides, do exactly what they're intended. They guide.

They guide you to plant the number you need in a way that you don't need to think about the spacing.

So if you need 50 (not 51, not 57, not 89, 92, 97, no, you need 50, 50 planted to reap 50 and place 50 in the windmill) you get exactly what you need.

I've eaten Bread, Lox Meat, and Lox Meat Pie and when I plant 4 plants, it uses up 1 stamina block with 9 total blocks. I can plant 36 times before I'm out of stamina.

I don't give a flying fuck about planting rapidly, I will ALWAYS have to break after 36 plants, why do I care about hitting 0 stamina faster? How is exhausting my stamina 1 second earlier going to help me? It doesn't.

I only care about planting the right number without caring about spacing.

You're just an ass shitting on people's ideas and trying to find flaws.

Yes you're the only genius who thought "Gee, this makes it so you can't plant as many". No fucking way? Your unique mind is so brilliant.

This method works for me, works for others, so what the fuck is your problem with how other people play? If I want 50 fucking plants, this is the easiest way to space them right. I don't give a fuck about planting 51, 67, 74, I just don't. If you can't see merit in this idea then you're not as smart as you think.
