[Game Update] - 443039

Having fun farming the new crops! I got a question though

Will there be a sprinkler in the future? It'd be nice to just have to have some more automated options so solo players/smaller groups can still have more opportunities to go do other things

Have you guys thought of giving Wormwood his Gorge perk?

Care to fill us in on what that is? :P

When he's near planted seeds/crops in the forge, they'd grow faster, take longer to rot and he'd blood. 

There was also this really cool visual effect of like, green magic around the crops.

This is Wormwoods perk from the ReGorgeitated mod, not an official perk. Wormwood didnt exist when the Gorge was initially released.

• The Premier Gardeneer Hat’s screen overlay is now slightly transparent.

I have an idea for a wormwood buff. Make him gain +0,5 life per second while he's wet (the opposite of wx78). It makes sense cuz he's a plant.

I posted this on the main thread, but I'll post it here. I think Wormwood would benefit from having a Diary or something similar so he can access the plant info without needing a Gardineer Helmet.

Hey that's how I suggested it! It makes me happy. Although your name for the second book sounds better than mine's

I'm so happy that they heard you! You had a wonderful idea and I'm curious to see how it'll play out

Wes can no longer talk to plants

I can only imagine Charlie, sitting on the nightmare throne, magnanimously watching the survivors fiddle with the new farm, then saw Wes chatting away with a plant and she goes " Wait, that's illegal"

Existing Applied Horticulture books will remain and function as they did before the beta. Feel free to stock up.

Whew that is totally unexpected, but nice nonetheless. Thanks!

nice, the lureplant farm is workable again, but no stone bushes&lureplant setup to farm rock anymore

The change to Horticulture is useless. It shouldn't be a thing.

The change to Horticulture is good,now at least people can complain less about one character feeding 10 players, which was valid. Silviculture is everything we need, especially in late game.

If you are having trouble gathering living logs, try switching to wormwood once you have stacked up on jellybeans from farming bee queen, you can get a good amount of living logs like this.

There's another option, after like 71 days, Poison Birchnut trees spawn rate in autumn is 16.8% so only in this season is it worth farming them on large scale. You can befriend pigs but i don't do this, i use weather pains. Drop rate is 1-2 living logs and you can dig it up for 1 more, on average 2.2 living logs and 20% chance of nightmare fuel.

Using weather pain may sound expensive but it kills poison birchnut trees in one use and you are supposed to deconstruct it when it is at 7% you'll get gear, volt goat horn and a down feather, so you'll only need 9 down feathers to construct it again. Each weather pain should get you like 30 living logs using this method.

 

Silviculture book has no range so with good positioning you can get too many resources, 1 book can probably give you enough grass/twigs for over an ingame year worth depending on how you use it.

You can also take Bearger on a trip, as he's just as effective and doesn't cost you any resources
