I hated the old one before the new one was here. It was so akward, hitboxes even worse than iron spikes have now. And don´t get me started on that stupid gardening ho.
...modded in the ability to do it the old way with the GK Return to old farmland mod. My users can now do either/or. Everyone's happy. We did not mod in the s though. I did have one guy who wanted them back. That would be a human waste <cymbal crash>
