Granny thats the issue that he is suggesting solutions for is the server performance is an issue due to large composter farms and such but the only solution ppl are throwing about is capping the amount of pickles you can place in a composter which is as you said capping what players can get and as you said ppl have set goals and capping composters is another way to fix the issue but what it will do is cap the people that use it for the right reasons as well as the ones causing the lag.
the issue is people using a unbalanced system simply to gain networth while capping the composters is a solution its a solution that as you said is unfair to the ppl that really work(in this case use) the composters for the right reasons.
it was thrown out as an option to cap composters to 50 pickles at a time by death. you need 54 pickles to make 1 batch of 9 fert which is enough for 1 large planter to be ferted so its a cap that wont even allow 1 planter to be ferted by one composter.
In my opinion capping pickles into composters will only do 2 things. hinder farmers that use them and make people use more composters to reach their same goals which will cause more performance issues.
