Matt didn't round, he performed a floor function to the nearest thousand. He knows not to say that he has $9000 when he only has $8999.19. If something in the game were to cost $9000 he would not be able to purchase it. If you had $8999.19 in your bank account, went to your bank and said, "I'd like to have my $9000 in cash please," you would not be walking out of the bank with $9k in money. They wouldn't round it up for you.

[@JanTonovski]

The implements of the tractor could be better, the cultivator isn't used for digging op weeds and the hay baler isn't used to harvest cabbages. Pretty cool game tho

[@alexsrcs1263]

Yes, very true, I think he should play farming simulator 22 for the realism factor and he can plough fields in the strongest shape

[@gimbrol]

I totally agree! I mean if they wanted an anti-weed implement they could've added a herbicide sprayer or similar, a cultivator would rip up the crops! (I suppose for potatoes, a tool similar to a cultivator would be used but it's spaced out much more)

[@jacksonRDR2]

@@alexsrcs1263 that game is shit tutorial hella confusing

[@VenKando]

Uhhh, actually a cultivator is indeed used for weed control in growing crops. Cultivators are a secondary tillage implement, use therefore being a finishing action after soil work, and as stated, cultivating the weeds out of the standing crop.

[@gimbrol]

@@VenKando a cultivator would destroy the crops, my friend, instead a weeder makes sense, as they're built with gaps that allow the crops and roots to be untouched. No offense, but I don't believe you understand what a cultivator is. And before you bring up chain harrows or spike harrows, those would rip the leaves from carrots and destroy cabbages outright, learn the usage of a power-harrow, chain harrow and cultivator before you try to outsmart people.

[@Sunflowrrunner]

Me, a Natural Resource Management and Horticulture Master's student: Plant the cabbages between the carrots, you won't have to weed as much, you absolute architect!

[@capitalinventor4823]

Of course if the game allowed that then RCE would have been better off by planting corn, beans, and a crop that spreads out, such as squash, together. These three (with the squash) are known as the "three sisters" and Native Americans have been planting them together for hundreds of years. The Iroquois have been using this combination since at least the 1300's. The corn stalks acts as a pole for the beans to climb, the beans provide Nitrogen to the soil, and the squash provides shade to deter weeds and traps moisture while its prickly vines deter pests. Cabbage could be used to take up space and the outer leaves will act to trap moisture in the soil and help prevent weeds. Additionally, eating a meal with the three sisters together provides complete proteins.

"Hello engineers welcome to my new addiction" is gonna be my new favourite intro ever.

[@Dave0439]

i think the plural of corn is corn, since you never eat a singular piece of corn, but still call it corn when eating

[@gaysarahk]

To get super technical in the grammar of it, "corn" is uncountable, meaning it doesn't *have* a pluralization. It's like flour, or water, or dirt. You can apply units to them (kernels of corn, ears of corn, grams of corn, etc), and those units can be plural, but corn itself cannot. This is notwithstanding the use of the word "corn" to refer to the skin disorder, which is pluralized as "corns". It is also notwithstanding the same sort of video game logic that may prompt a Minecrafter to say "I have 12 dirt."

[@steffanshurkin1123]

Ahh, the relaxing stress of farming.

[@felipenascimento1083]

i love the gameplay an commentary, but the editor was the star of this episode!

[@ChrisJeanninOfficial]

Corn, like deer, can be used in the plural form of corns or deers if there are multiple kinds present. For instance if you had 3 types of corn in a field, you would say, I have 3 corns.

And, if he REALLY was an ACTUAL engineer, he would take HEED WHAT symbols mean WHAT, otherwise whats to stop him from MISIDENTIFYING and "Electrical Surge" symbol from a "Current Display" symbol if he CANNOT distinguish Dollars from Pounds 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

How I figured out it was corn for plural. "You want some corn? I've got lots of corns." "You want some corn? I've got lots of corns" And then I checked if it actualy worked. "You want some corn? I've got lots of carrots." "You want some corn? I've got lots of carrot." So in conclusion the plular for corn is corn.
