idea for grass tuft renewability

[Copyafriend]

grass tufts can become scarce in a world over time, thanks to grass geckos and accidents.

so i think it would be nice if grass geckos could occasionally drop a grass tuft instead of a piece of grass when they shed their tails.

pros:

it provides a funny lore explanation for how grass geckos reproduce.

it allows people to obtain more grass tufts in a world

and feels like a pretty unobtrusive solution using what we already have in game to solve an (admittedly minor) problem

cons:

if people use grass geckos for grass, you now have undesired(?) tufts in your farm

grass geckos need a pen or are tedious to chase

 

but i think its overall a pretty good idea, lmk what ya'll think

Add a plant crafting station. Linking it to wormwood skilltree is not good.

grass geckos naturally spawn from planted tufts randomly, it is not linked to wormwood

I think that.. like Catcoon dens and mushroom rings now do, grass tufts should respawn over time in their natural biome habitats.

I don’t feel like it should be anymore complex than that.

Jakepeng means he wants plant crafting outside of WW, and your grass tuft made via that plant crafting

Regarding the subject, i never play 1000 day worlds, so grass would never be a problem
But if it would, i wouldn't mind both gekkos and natural respawning. Plant crafting i don't like, neither in nor out of WW

Not the solution you are suggesting but what i do to prevent the spawn of gekkos is to only harvest gass with lureplants or the rift scythe.  Also you can pen some grass near the grass you want to preserve because they only spawn if there arent more arround

Would love to see that part of skilltree replaced by something fun. Maybe unique crafts with unused crops so he has a real reason to do what he's good at.

Maybe he can temporarly apply a unique buff to all of the plants in his skills.

Plants now have 500% increased movement speed and damage

What if grass gators could be shaved like beefalo while sleeping to yield a grass tuft? They would probably need a funny sad shaved look too.

Glass tufts could just simply respawn naturally during certain seasons... It's not that huge of a commodity to have around later on but it's more for decor like berry bushes.

grass tufts and saplings already respawn in their appropriate biomes over time so long as you're playing endless mode

I thought only saplings did and that's why people are suggesting ways to solve it

I think the issue is that people are not playing on Endless for that. They do respawn if there's less of it around, but in very small quantities which kinda sucks.

Never had this issue thanks to

If you get a world started with grass geckos, then endless can't help you. -- they wouldn't repawn in such of world

yeah someone else explained that you meant you wanted a plan5 crafting station, i got what you mean now

to be honest i think a renewable way to get grass tufts on command is still somewhat useful even if the world regenerates them naturally, and outside of just being useful, i think its just a good thing for flavor to have grass geckos drop tufts occasionally. its neat and works with the whole animal/plant thing that is already going on. its either a symbiotic relationship or its all just one grass gecko life cycle

There is a setting to enable regeneration of basic resources. That should work even in gecko worlds. I bet my world is a gecko world and i always spot new grass growing in grass biomes

 

I wish all worlds were gass ones but with a biome filled with geckos so there is more reason to explore and to add life to the world

People get mostly excited for equipment so.

Pomegrenades,  spiky durian bat, asparagun, cornnon, potatank, carrockets, eggplauncher, tomaturret,

The current solution I adopt is not to let grass turn into Grass Gekko.

Klei could even put a new grass seedling on Monkey Island (which has already been done with reeds).

[Wonz]

I always fence the grass and park chester nearby, geckos have nowhere to run and will get scared of chester and drop grass so they will actually be good thing.

My average base.

On lord klei please the need/cost ratio for chests is crazy when you want to sort items.
