Twiggy trees: blessing or lag plague?

[FreyaMaluk]

Twiggy trees were introduced to the game to make collecting twigs much easier without a gathering animation BUT there is a catch. They take over the world with constant spawning everywhere, so what was initially a blessing it's now a lag nightmare.

I hope the devs can tweek the spawning rate cuz quite honestly they are too annoying spamming everywhere.

In public servers there is no chance how to regulate them with mods, so I would love if the devs could reduce the spawning chance significantly. Having so many twigs laying around causes horrible lag after a while.

your right i hope they do

I hate these things. I wish you could choose which one you'd want in world selection. Like whether you'd want Twiggy or sapling world. The same goes for the berry bushes.

if the server is not gonna last long = blessing

if the server is gonna last long because of mega basing = plague

Noo, I think both alternatives of all resources should eb available in all servers. Nothing can explain my frustration when there are no regular berry bushes in the world to craft bush hats.

You kinda can, at least to start off through "starting resource variety". I always set it on "classic" because the downside of twiggy trees is annoying for the beginning. They take an axe to harvest, which needs flints that are usually hard to find in no time because they are all picked up by most noobs or moles. I cant tell about the lag. Gekkos and juicy berries are not problematic, just challenging.

I get that the alternative resources are supposed to add to the challenge, but it really bothers when they all take over the whole world. Id like a setting or a tweak for the classic ones(twigs and normal berries) to spawn sometimes too.

Maybe the devs can make them spawn only in a specific biome, just how Birchnut trees spawn only in the deciduous biome. Twiggy trees can spawn in say the checkered biome or whatever other place and boom problem solved.

the trees are actually topped so that they can spawn only 2 twigs and then they just don't create more.

i may have miscounted the twigs but the trees twigginess ( epic bruh moment ) is topped.

I've seen many twiggy trees spreading in a area when there were none initially and each drops 2 twigs ... that's a lot of resources on the floor causing lag. BTW, it's not only about the twigs on the floor, it's about the twiggy trees spawning everywhere. Extra assets you don't want/need also causing lag

you can see as @NorthicaN said 4 in a screen but if you move to the next screen or other areas in your map you will see them quite often, overtaking the world. 

IMO we need 2 things:

1. reduce spawning rate for twiggy trees

2. world gen option to disable twiggy trees

this is actually a very good idea.... but we still need a spawning rate tweak even if it's only restricted to an area. The trees spawn pretty aggressively IMO

totally agree with you there

I'm NOT opposed to twiggy trees as an idea... In fact, I think they are a nice alternative.. IMO the devs just needs to tune down the spawn rate significantly... that's all....

they get very annoying with time spawning everywhere

IMO, in the current mode, I consider it a "lag plague".

As many have already mentioned, it would be great to have a option to choice in the world settings menu (Pleeease, Klei).

Off topic: Let's not forget the Juicy Berries too, Klei. Ok?!

pss.... and Gekkos

[Rogueagent01]

I guess i'm the exception to the rule here, since they don't really cause any more or less lag in my servers(PS4). I remember before they were a thing i had the same amount of lag as i do now. I also replace large amounts of turfs in highly travelled areas which helps control the spread of such items. So for me personally i'd say either leave it as is, or at leat as others said put the option to either turn on/off or control the amounts more/less/least, into the world gen.

[BeliarBAD]

ive a mod for twiggy trees but the mod isnt available on the workshop anymore.

Honestly, I hate stingers more than twigs, but then again I haven't really ever noticed lag on my toaster.
