I don't understand a word, but I agree.

I don't think it's disgusting. I see just another weird-ass self-moving plant, like are fairly common in the Constant. :P

(Now, if it looked like flesh and squishiness, then it'd have that body-horror "Akira" kinda vibe goin' on, but a colorful weird plant that looks plantish? Eh.)

Edit: Okay, now that I actually pasted the original message into Google Translate (which I should've maybe done first? lol) they're not saying it LOOKS disgusting. They're saying the way it _works_ is disgusting, it spreads too fast, etc. Yeah, that could be true.

I really dislike how the plant forbid builders from decorating ever so slightly using bushes or anything that can attract them. Placed a plant ? BOOM ! Assured BS, and nothing you can do about it. Even if you don't wish to use the plant... their spawn mechanism as primitive as old disease. the mob itself is fine but they ruined building so much for me.

It just need tweaking, how about affecting plants that are actively used by the player instead of their decorative plants ? Leave it to crops or plant pens, not my (now gone) roadside plants.

I think its mechanism is not suitable for a single person to fight three bright eggplants. It requires multiple people to fight. If there are many people, it is very simple. More people will require more equipment. If the number is small or the updates are not fast, it will be short. There just isn't enough time to build a set of armor and weapons for each person. Transplanted crops can be placed a little further away from home, so that they will not affect the home and reduce the frame rate drop.

Use the mod thay makes them not spawn on lightning rod radius

[HowlVoid]

Disgusting is a little harsh, let's call them butt-ugly instead.

I haven't even run into these in my own playthroughs yet, and still, just from what I've heard others say about brightshade, I enjoy that its initials are "BS".

Edit: Also, again, console players can't use mods. They're up BS Creek without a paddle. Also, if they want to build furniture in the first place (so that the BS has somewhere to infect)...

As a basebuilder myself I sadly find myself just not using grass, saplings and berry bushes anymore. I find it significantly harder to make nice looking bases and thus less enjoyable to play the game "my way" than before the brightshades addition. 

We got many new decorative structures over the past years. But the plant & natural turf section by comparison is just so severely lagging behind, and now got "nerfed" to a point that is comparable to single player RoG. It's really hard to not use mods at this point that add plant variety like TAP. But mods are just so notorious for causing technical issues with worlds so ughh... 

I am kinda caught between playing vanilla which is just so bland at this points or using TAP and eventually losing my long term world to some technical issue.

3 BS should even be more common. Fighting 2 is too simple and 1 is simply a joke

if someone have problems fighting 3 BS they should considere activating a suppose "hard mode"

you can use the new ranged weapons to faceroll over them without effort but isn't needed because you can break the vine from 2 of them and hit one BS while kitting the last vine alive

 

im afraid klei wont make a real hard mode if people complain about not difficult stuff, this arc would end up being "same easy fights but with planar mechanics" like how the 3 new bosses were when released in the beta (hopefully they buffed them)

 

what they need to tweak is how much they spawn and were, we need more variety of possessions asap and some kind of repellent so we can use plants as decor in pens surrounded with mobs (i hate not being able to plant grass in my gekko pen as decor). Also they should prioritise plants that are harvested often instead of solitaire ones which the player never interacts

Fighting brightshades is actually easy if you are geared to do it. Problem is, it has become an annoying chore.

You could even argue that brightshades make the game easier in a way. they drop leafy meat. you forego starvation. 

 

It's really annoying.

i always wait until my base is filled and do a "BS hunt tour" to get like 2 stacks of leafy meat

Cheap meat stews for my plantboy

[Maxil20]

Once again, my biggest issue with the brightshades is how often they spawn (you will, on average, get roughly 50 brightshades per year) and how they really only eliminate plant decor as an option because the easiest way to handle them spawning in the base is to remove any and all plants from said base. That’s the main issue a lot of players have trouble with.

Yes, you could use the howlitzer for combat against them, if you want to spend hundreds of hounds teeth per year, and it still isn’t as simple as a solution as, again, removing the decor.

It gets quite tedious, very fast. I used to have a brightshade pen with houndius to take care of them, but I had to practically babysit the pens to avoid them overflowing and getting out of control. I swapped to using the magma pool strat, which is pretty much the only way you can really keep them contained at the moment, and that still prevents you from a majority of plant decor options (since you can inly fit ~12 per pool and there’s a good chance plant herds will merge overall).

 

[arubaro]

i dont get why people say that it prevents you from using decor plants. Is true that if you dont decor and you make your grass and twig farm underground you wont experience them outside of farming veggies but, unless is near a chest zone or a kitchen, you dont have to fight them . I had 400 day old BS in an avenue, only killed when i felt like it. I ignored them that much that they are starting to infest natural resources hahaha

 

my problem with them is that they might kill glommer or other mobs if you plant something near them but other than that, if you are tired of fighting them just ignore them until you feel like fighting. They arent like the old hound waves...

 

[BB Marioni]

not sure what youre talking about. I love bathing in the husks I get from them for infinite brightshade gear and repair kits.

We run out of brightshades so fast, sometimes we search the world just to hunt them. 
We also activate rifts from day 1, so we deal with them from the very beginning and I don't see how they are "hard" to deal with even without ruins gears.

I had two very friendly Bshades at a decoration near my out-of-comission bunny/spider farm, but they started to generate too much bunny puffs and rot so I had to take them out.

I wish that the insects AI(friend fly, glommer and lightbug) avoided being near them, so they don't die when the bulb does that retaliation attack.

so you're saying it's unreasonable to assume that anyone uses plant decor in the kitchen or chest area? ^^ 

I decorate with plants EVERYWHERE

nooo, i do and is where i see im forced to fight them. Is precisely what i mean, that outside of places where i need to stop i dont care about plants being infested because i can simply ignore them until i need leafy meat

is just that some comments sounds like they are getting something like a hound wave non stop when there are just there chilling until you want to face them
