Template:L designed to replace the old one. Though it was a masterpiece of wiki-magic, it wasn't particularly in-depth, was a little vague, had a couple of inaccurate points, and kept breaking whenever anything changed. Thus, the logical solution is to replace it with a more comprehensive flowchart in the form of an image. Sadly, it's a little too literal, a little too... Blunt. It comes across as somewhat disorienting and menacing. It's a lot of tiny little things to look at, in order to fully interpret the whole... It reads like a schematic diagram of some ornate machine. If you have any ideas on how to make it appear friendlier, or read easier, please say something! I'd love to discuss it with you!

The old farming guide was a tangled mess. With some practice, it's readable and highly useful, but still really ugly, and some subtle traits are kind of missed by it. My proposed version shows the plants in a graph, not a flowchart, as really, farming is more just an understanding of plant traits and managing the materials efficiently. Other than that, the actual creation of materials takes care of itself!
