Regrowth should be dependent a lot more on the fertilization of the land than on it's own + Disease rework and return thoughts


Recommended Posts

As the title says. I believe that beefalos should be able to create their own grass tufts or even clusters of them by just manure alone. Having checks to not overgrow the area with too many entities and making big grass clusters to form as one overtime making new source of resource that's naturally growth.

Manure could melt away and check if there's any or enough mushrooms at all around their area.

Plants like berry bushes, carrots or even any other kind of new plants that would exist cause of player's disturbance of land and help of creatures like crows could make a reason for those seeds to grow into berry bushes or twigs. Leaving any fertilizers in certain biomes should consume them overtime and have a change after half a year or so to make new fauna.

Perhaps that new fauna would help new creatures settle, or current ones to make their own home there by harvesting and eating at those shrubs and tufts, other times it could just create actual garbage piles that might become a disease to other plants (like how disease used to work but having more of a impact by cleanliness of the certain work regions) and player impact of leaving garbage or rotting foods might cause invasion and spread of all that nasty bacteria and viruses to build up.

While in caves, mushrooms and bacteria would dominate over anything due to the perfect environment away from the sun and fine temperatures to keep spreading.

It would be a nice addition in my opinion to reintroduce disease since now we can wax plants as decor and bring new assets and plant variations that grow more in the wild than would when planted by players, leaving players but a weak and current types of plants as inferior kinds.

It would also play a crucial part to longterm worlds where you want to see the world change and be different than last year and current fauna would have cause and effect to each other's existence more impactful than how the world is by automated random respawn design.

Yup my cell phone on portrait orientation also shows it all broken like that.
If you flip the phone to landscape orientation you can see it normal.
