make the weight loss a toggled option, letting players disable it if they don't want it

Nope. It's extremely slight and only happens once a day, and can be more than offset by eating one or two things a day.

it still wouldn't hurt to add the ability to disable it

I added it because I wanted to create a more interesting choice of which crops you want to use for what, such as balancing cheaper for eating and higher value crops for selling. I also wanted to make a reason to continue eating after you've reached the max weight, and make more engagement so that it's not just a cycle of "plant crop, leave the game running in the background for a while, harvest, repeat". I think these are good reasons to add the mechanic to the game, and while I'm definitely going to tweak the values I'm not getting rid of it without some more concrete feedback from playtesting. And considering it takes two days (48 minutes) of not eating at all to drop from the second weight level to the first, I am led to believe that your request is not based on the actual experience considering your first comment was only half an hour after I uploaded this.

This was an absolutely beautiful deconstruction of why a comment was absolute bullshit and I love it.

Turns out it was broken anyway, so there was absolutely no effect on gameplay at all!

The QoL stuff especially highlighting the selected crop is great, is there any way to increase the amount of something selected to sell by more than 1 at a time? ended up getting like 40 rotatos and mashing W to get it up to that amount to sell

Also I saved before harvesting some crops and then reloaded while they were on the ground and they were both on the ground and still planted?

Oh geez, that's a good exploit, I'll have to make sure everything on the ground gets deleted when you load. I'll look into making holding the arrow keys make the quantity go up faster.

I have now fattened everybody throughout the game and am working on myself, what is the time interval for being hungry enough to eat in the game btw? I haven't gotten to testing that out yet.

In this build it's 4 hours, but in the next build it's going to be dynamic so that the bigger you get, the more often you can eat.

This game is looking great! The save feature also really helps a lot.
