Farm x Deadly Brightshade

[Cruvimaster]

 

Is there any way to protect the crops?

Giant plantations become unviable with Deadly Brightshade?

You could try the setup presented in this video:

There were more topics/posts on these forums related to such cheap settings. For example, this from Habakkuk:

 

Or you can do more elaborate settings like what's presented in this video, aka "dummy farms":

But I don't want to farm that plant. I just want them not to spawn in the place I want to make giant crops.

You mean decoys/"dummy farms"?
I've edited my 1st post to include such a thing too.

Else no, for now there aren't any in situ methods to prevent Deadly Brightshades from spawning on your farms (in lack of decoys). I haven't tested the latest Beta, perhaps KLei made so Dreadstone Walls or something else related to Shadows/Pure Horrors could act as a repellent for Brightshade Gestalts? I doubt it since I haven't seen anywhere such a thing mentioned.

The BS won't spawn in a 7.5 tile radius of an already existing BS.

If the 7.5 tile radius is too small for you, you can make the circles overlap with each other for a greater area to work with while preventing more BS from spawning:

This is what ive done in my world. I have three pet brightshades covering my farm plots and bushes/grass/twigs. 

Stay out of their aggro range and u can farm in peace. 

They prioritize farm plants so u can use this to force them to spawn where u want them.
