Does Grass Suit have a use?

[TheMetalMan]

I realized the other day that I've not once made a grass suit.

Is there an actual use for it? Is there a situation where it is useful?

Maybe Klei should make it required for a recipe to make something else?

Does the Grass suit need some love?

You make it when you run out of logs , pigskin and on pvp servers immediately

I think the grass suit is one of the more under rated items. Its better than I find people give it credit for.

When I am picking cactus and tumbleweed in the desert I may craft one of these. You can sometime find way more grass/twigs then you can carry so may as will use a grass armor than using your logsuit/football helm.

actually I use Grass Suit a lot, the reason for this is that I don't tank much (I try my best to avoid), unless its a Boss/Giant I don't use anything else to kill it beside Grass Suit + Axe/Spear + Footballhat (I mainly play as Willow) ..
I do know that a lot of people just use it as fuel or never even use it, but frankly I like it more than log suit..
I really hate to cut trees if I can avoid it

Klei should make it required for a recipe to make log suit (Grass suit + few woods) maybe?

Simple!  You use it if:

--You haven't found any gold yet but want _some_ protection before going into a dangerous area.

--You're doing a challenge where you're not allowed to use certain items, or no science machine, or whatever. 

--If you just died and lost all your stuff.

--And last but not least it makes a HELL of a rip-roarin' fire when it's down to the last few percent. 

I myself use grass suits--at least briefly--fairly often.  In fact, a kinda fun little story happened recently regarding that.  Okay, so, my brother and I were playing DST on a shared server, but to our horrible luck after searching the entire left half of the map there was just no gold ANYWHERE.  No gold rocks.  No rock zones at all, in fact.  No desert.  No pig king.  No graveyards.  No NOTHING.  And, to get to the right side of the map...ya had to go through this horrible CORRIDOR OF BEEEEEEEESS.  Narrow little bridge full of deadly stuff, just like Adventure Mode.

Well, in a last-ditch attempt, I said "Welp. It's not the best, but I can at least make a GRASS suit.  Wish me luck!" and just went for it.  Plowed through at full speed and came out the other side, where I found a wormhole that yes, led back to the left side, so we could just SKIP the bees entirely anytime we wanted to go over there.  Gold rocks were found quickly and the base started finally taking shape.

I'd like to say the grass suit helped me in this endeavour...but no, the kicker to this story is that I somehow didn't even get hit ONCE.  Not a single sting, from all those swarms of hornets.  The suit was still at 100% when I came out of the corridor!  XD

But the point is it was THERE, and it _might_ have made it so I only got injured instead of deaded.  So hey. 

Edit:  BRING BACK THE GRASS SUIT FOR HAMLET, DANGIT!  Also the parasol!

Maybe a grass suit recipe could be a sleeping grass robe?

I like how it looks with the straw hat.  So sometimes it's just a way to stave off boredom and have a special costume for harvesting around the base.

What's grass suit?

[Sweaper]

Found clockworks but you don't have gold yet, if you can perfectly kite then no need for grass suit. Otherwise, just build it and a (pick)axe.

I use it if I've found tons of grass before making or finding a science machine and need to do something with the excess, or if I'm desperate for protection and have a lot of grass with me. Used ones burn really well, but if you're crafting stuff out of grass specifically to burn it, make a straw roll instead; it takes less grass.
