The torch is the main item to get rid of the saps and I actually like your idea. A bit late... but I changed the Torch back in version 2.0.0 Torch: wood 3 --> 1, sap 5
Rather than comment on... all of this, I'll comment on just one. The scarecrow isn't an item you need to make harder.You unlock it at farming level one, and at that time, you will have zero stardrops, low energy, low resources, and some of your crops will already -most likely- have been carried off by crows. Thus, it can be actually quite crippling to also need 99 wood for a scarecrow.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, good idea. The values for the scarecrow have been reduced in version 1.1 Scarecrow: wood 99 --> 50, coal 3 --> 2, fiber 50

For now, I only have one suggestion -- can you tune the torch back so it only uses 1 wood?
3+ sap is acceptable, but I feel like a torch... It makes sense that it's just one piece of wood, doesn't it?
