Change the Nettle Vine withering when dry. Please.


Recommended Posts

Nettles needed a nerf. That much was a given, so then we adapted with a Sprinkler, only to discover that Nettle Vines with Nettles will lose their produce when they dry up.

My suggestion for a solution comes in two suggestions.

1. A Nettle Vine with produce will stay like that until harvested, then wither instantly. This solution means we don't have to worry about lost produce because they decided to dry up.

2. Simply force the Nettle Vines to drop Nettles, and then wither. An odd solution, but it could be an option if the former doesn't work right.

I love the idea of Nettle Vines, but they've been distracting me every day with a picky schedule.

Third option; reset the growth cycle by significantly less. The current system wouldn't be so bad if it only needed one day of growth if mature ones dried out (one sprinkler cycle) as opposed to resetting back to the start of the whole thing.

The easiest way to tell the current system is bad is that lots of people think their nettles are broken or just never mature. From those who know how it works, a lot of players just aren't willing to babysit their nettles and resort to using a gas mask.

And to be fair, unless you base close to the nettles, it IS kind of annoying. But a large portion of players base in the provided Slanty Shanty, which is usually a significant trip away from any valid nettle farm spots. Which is understandable, because it's literally provided for you to base in.

I always base in a cave or ruin close to a nettle farming spot, and then build a slanty shanty next to my cave/ruin later, and this way I can easily get tons of nettles. But if I didn't do that... man, I'd probably only do one nettle harvest a year, to get ~21 nettles to get through the season with. :T (As it is I use a stack of spare nettles for on-demand healing, 10hp a pop!)

I agree 100% that the nettle growth process need some work... tbh I hate how the sprinklers work.. I wish the fuel tank for the sprinkler lasted the same time the flingomatic fuel tank. One day is such a pain... IMO it totally spoils the fun of exploration 

either a change to the nettle withering process or the sprinkler fuel tank needs to happen IMO.

Neetles don't loose their progress though when withered. At least not imiedietally.

My sprinkler ran out of fuel and all neetles closed. I was mad that I had to start again and turned on sprinkler and literaly after 5 sec neetles bloomed

Nettles don't lose all their progress... unless they were mature when they withered. Otherwise you'd have to keep your sprinkler fueled 3 days straight, now that'd be terrible hahah.

But yeah. If they dry out AFTER blooming, they currently reset to the start of the their growth. People who don't know this have gone dozens of days wondering why their nettles never seem to bloom.

Can't make sprinkler without gear, and gear is rare in Hamlet.  I dug up nettle vines and replanted right next to pond on rainforest turf.  I can never harvest them, even in pouring rain.  They seem useless without a sprinkler, or I'm missing something.  help?  

ehmmm.. im sorry but u are wrong.. sprinkler DOESN'T require a gear...

u only need 2 alloy, 6 ice and a blue gem
