You don't need to plant Butterflies and whatnot, just pick 6 flowers, haunt their stack et voila.

Planting flowers isn't the annoying part, if I have bees set up it's just making a net with some silk and waiting like 10 seconds. The annoying part is dying, which that still involves. Even if I were to haunt petals instead of flowers I'd still probably plant the flowers that I picked back since it's probably faster than looking for wild flowers.

I'm not at my desk right now to check, but is the drop rate on the totally normal tree not enough for an early game way to access it?

hi Scott, sorry for the ping.

once i made a world with size set to medium and got none totally normal trees.

i used c_countprefabs to check it

are they guaranteed to spawn? should i post a bug report?

that is in the release version, not beta

Not in DST. Only in singleplayer DS. Same goes for mushrooms turning into mushtrees on a full moon.

Wow... for some reason I was SURE that still happened in DST. Kinda an odd change, since it only lasts the night (which means bees with homes won't spread it) but I guess maybe they were worried about it being used to make... very niche sanity traps? Idk.

On the topic of alternates- what about about making another plantable mob for it? Whether that be an "evil" butterfly or like, killer bees. Maybe homeless killer bees will create evil flowers instead of regular ones, provided they're left in one area alone. Still takes some effort and isn't a freebie, but still provided a straightforward way to create new flowers already related to the methods of creating normal ones.

Additionally thought of maybe having flowers planted neither sanity auras 'turn' into the evil flowers, but I think this one might be too hard to control without having flowers turning in areas like forests due to monsters like spiders.

My guess is that it was done for performance reasons. I think turning every single flower and mushroom in a world would cause a lag spike every time a full moon starts and ends.

Right clicking the sweeper in your hand slot doesn't sweep the sweeper, it changes Wilson/Webber's beard skins and does nothing for everyone else.

That's too bad, it would be pretty handy if you could use the sweeper on itself without the need of a second one. I'm not sure if there'd be any way to implement that without it being at least a little awkward though.
