Re: Now that the build season is done...

The problem with gathering balls is that you don't want to waste time gathering to many. The human player can only handle so many, so gathering a large amount will likely be redundent. Besides, from our testing, we found that with a proper "plow", it was not too difficult to gather balls into our corral. Plus, a simpler system means we devoted more to other aspects of the game. With a good enough driver, I think a plow can gather just as well.
