Gem trees and why they're bad

[nimzowitsch10]

The concept of locking content behind certain days is so bad. Why should I wait to day 200 to get the best chance to spawn them in sunken chests? I thought klei was over with this concept with pearl. On top of that they grow so weirdly and slow.

Not gonna lie they should just remove this along with the night vision trees. It is incredibly broken when you can have a couple of the gem trees and plant a lureplant near them and just spam silviculture and let the eye plant collect hundreds of gems with no penalties. It's almost as bad as the purple gem duping glitch people were doing not too long ago. Night vision trees are useless as well because ya know, moggles or nightvision mod if you guys are using that.

They definitely should not remove interesting content, that is a very not good take.

There is something a person can do called constructive feedback, instead of just campaigning for something to be cut out of the game that can be tweaked and fixed 

Its strange to say its broken while also complaining that its incredibly late game, but also, how incredibly rare they are anyways.

would be cool if klei released a new boss that is challenging that can drop the seeds. Maybe as hard as beating cc or something. Perhaps an ocean boss with cc level difficulty

crab king? he needs gems to be fueled, makes sense he could drop some seeds for it.

I have 2 worlds. One with ruins that yields 5 green gems on a good regen and the other yields perhaps shy of 20. 

I'm not sure what the geode trees will do to the 20 gem world, but you best believe it will be a boon to the sub 10. 

 

I'd say there needs to be more interesting uses for thulecite. I can't believe that thulecite armor got soft powercrept.

I feel like the purpose of the change was to add a new way to add gems late into your world without upsetting the early game too much yes as many people have pointed out a ruins clear gets you a ton of gems but that's hard for a lot of players and even then your actively working for those gems and need to reset the ruins for more so I can definitely see where klei is coming from. They wanted to make these trees a late game item but without locking it behind the rifts however I think 200 days might have been a bit too extreme and it would probably be better slashing it to 100 days.

I have feeling klei is favouriting winona. Not saying I like the skilltree though.

You keep bringing up night vision mod as if your willing to accept mods as being a core and intended part of the game, but since I’m sort of a jerk and don’t like mods to overshadow Klei’s hard work on adding official gameplay content- I think it would be hilarious if Klei “Unintentionally”  added a bug into the game that crashed your game when you tried to use Nightvision Mod after they add the official Night Tree Fruits.

With that out of the way… And since you seem to accept mods, just download a mod or go to world Gen settings and change the spawn/growth rate of the new trees (don’t tell me there aren’t any world Gen settings for the new content )

I'm like 99.9% sure that the Silviculture interaction is unintended. My money is on the next patch disabling magic growth of at least the gem tree, but possibly keeping it with the night vision tree if using horticulture.

Not sure where you got that idea. Do you mean the celestial orb? It made sense to buff RNG on tasks that directly affected boss progression, especially for the sake of speed runners who cared about it the most.

The trees are from a loot table and don't naturally occur

clearly too op, Klei should also make a "bug" that crashes the game everytime you use that, as well as WX nightvision module
