change walking speed, default is C on the keyboard. Now walk in a straight line.

I thought i was the only one doing this, works wonders. Seems to be a bit tricky with barley, when they fully grow you can suddenly see empty patches pop as the space just wasn't enough for the fully grown product.

I also use farmgrid, so once I get the first two planted all the rest snap in at the proper distance. Saves a lot of time since barley is indeed tricky to space with the naked eye and now it just looks like I've got a neat box around my growing areas.

i always just walk backwards

Ended up using this mod, the grid that the mod generates helps in eyeballing an even plant

run/walk sideways while planting

If it works for you great. I just do it by eye, plant and step back, plant and step back. TBH if you that OCD then mod is for you.

I got it pretty damn clean with no mod help, but also I played without tessellation enabled in the graphics settings which removes all of the finer bumps in the terrain. Saves a few frames too.

I would be kind of careful when putting down the first two rows of crops, and after that I just kept a rhythm as I got the hang of working with the offset camera.

Another method would be to have two different alignments of rows going. So every row is offset by 50% from the last, but still aligned with the row before last. You can pack each line quite tightly together this way and also have an additional diagonal axis to use as a guide. Kind of like:

X-------X-------X---
----X-------X-------X
X-------X-------X---
----X-------X-------X
X-------X-------X---
----X-------X-------X
X-------X-------X---
----X-------X-------X
X-------X-------X---
----X-------X-------X

And so on. The diagram doesn't quite do it justice because the size of the characters makes it difficult to align but you probably get the idea.

I don't mod and I don't know if they changed it, but early on you had to have 1 floor tile between plants, so I put down a checkerboard floor tile and plant in the open ones in the center.
