I think Wormwood's tree is amazing compared to Wolfgang or Wilson.

With that in mind, here would be my reccomendations for changing both Wilson and Wormwood.

wilson skill tree makes 0 sense, has few perks because most points goes into 2 weird branches which one is dedicated to torches(?)

It's so nice to see that you guys actually include Wilson to the discussion. He's always forgotten and never compared to the rest when it comes to skill trees so thank you for that.

As for the Wormwood, I don't really play him but I have to say that it's so sad to see how he lost five potential unique abilities to just plant crafting.

Considering how good options there are for Wormwood to spend his insight points and also how much food sources there are, His plant crafting skills feel more like a cosmetic thing to me. I think that if klei have given us another crafting station for plant crafting intstead, it would have been better for everyone.

Those skills add no replayability to Wormwoods gameplay and suffers the same issue from Wilson's Alchemy tab. You just do pick and switch. And never touch them ever again.

My guy, quite literally nearly every single skill in all of the skill trees in this game 'create value out of thin air', it's just that the majority of them are boring af stat increases or changes that don't require any sort of planning or possible variation to what you will do with said value.

Thankfully you just answered yourself, the majority of them are indeed stat changes or random craftables because they are things that already exist within the characters perks, the craftables require items to craft(obviously), and the rest are mostly making their "good" into "better", so your definition "create value out of thin air" is innate ability from the character perks, not from the skill tree perks. But currently, we do have some skills that actually creates value out of thin air which are Wilson's beard storage and Wilson's torch upgrades, Wolfgang leg day, Woodie tree guard perks(the first two) as well as the quicker pick path and finally Wormwood Photosinthesis. And they are not gamebreaking, petal production was simply better than all of those by a mile. Especially for Wormwood.

nothing you listed sounds op. It was useful but overpowered? lol

It was very good at too many things and it would step on other skills feet(A.K.A lightbug one and funny poop joke one).

Yeah, this is one thing that I really did not like.

At least with Wilson's alchemy table you can MinMax your meat cooking profits on your everyday life. With Wormwood the only really usable on a "daily" basis is the reed production(like every time your bananas are grown). the rest is just things that he never uses.

You can optimize mushroom planters where they become self renewing. 

With 6 planters, 6 saplings and 2 compost bins you never have to worry about food again. 

You can eat 5/6 planters just make sure to use one mushroom to place back in the planter.

The sixth planter is for making logs. Adding with twigs in the bins, and leaving one back in the planter, you'll get 40hp of compost aka two living logs. By the time they need to be replenished with a log you have enough (+extra) living logs on hand. You can use a tent for better gains but tents themselves require some stuff so up to you.

If you don't need extra logs, once you have 6 living logs just use the 6th planter to renew the mushrooms on all planters. No net required.

Edit: With mushroom multiplier branch.

They should combine photosynthesis and shade plant into one perk, then add back petal production.
