Please allow the Boulderbough’s vines to dig up more special plants!

[Mr.Oshiro]

For a long time, perhaps due to considerations of game balance, there have been many plants that cannot be excavated or created. But now we have the Boulderbough’s vines, which should be able to excavate plants buried deep in the ground, allowing us to beautify the base with them.

These plants can be hung on trees in the form of seeds or seedlings.It would be great if developers could add more plant varieties, just like flowers and ferns, especially berry bushes.

seeds:Grass/Marsh/Desert/Mud/LichenLand

seedlings:Mushroom/CaveJungle,Residential,Residential2,Residential3

In addition, I think three residential areas can add a little more toys because there should be many relics from ancient vases underground here.

Yup but lightbulbs, lichens and cactus? I don't know about that. These trees, as it stands now, they're avaiable almost immediately in a world.

I don't know about reeds and bananas either since....they resolve it? Albeit, in a bad way and I heavily despite it with all my heart.

 

For me what should be finally implemented are berry bushes, grass turfs and twigs saplings rewenable through these new trees. I don't have tho high hopes. Klei is always very reluctant about it. Very strange....

I know developers have always had strict control over these things, so I don't demand to have them for survival, just to use them as decoration is enough. They just need to increase the probability in the loot pool. I have always wanted to decorate the base with mushroom trees in the surface world, but currently it is difficult to do so.

Definitely yes, in fact yesterday I also thought that boulderboughs could pull seedlings of all 4 mushroom trees out of the ground.
I've also considered the idea of allowing boulderboughs to renew anenemies. But I don't know if that would make as much sense as with mushroom tree seedlings.

I really like this general idea, of having boulderboughs let players making previously unrenewable things.

I think its clear that plants like lightbulbs and cactus wouldn't be renewable via replanting for even when many suggested that the brightshade shoevel should be used to dig up these plants its clear nothing has changed since. I do think its to keep players revisitng the biomes, albeit reeds wouldn't matter as much now due to the addition of monkeytails.

I don't want to sound pessimistic but for items like berry bushes, the only option through renewal is by Wormwood even after DST being out for almost 10 years. I assume they're going to keep Wormwood as the only option to renew berry bushes to encourage usage of the new character skill tree instead of interacting with the world. It also helps that Wormwood is a DLC character so its in their best interest to keep it this way.

What do you mean "difficult to do so"? It is straight up impossible unless you use mods or console commands. 

I agree it would be a cool thing to have some of the mentioned resources available to be dug up. With monkey tails and so many sanity foods existing I don't see it as too game breaking to be able to dig up and replant reeds and cacti. Cacti even more so because you can't put cooked cactus flesh in the polar bearger bin, so banana shakes or taffy are always gonna be superior sanity restoring options which are both so easy to produce. Having mushroom trees and mushrooms non-transplantable is even more sad. We already have a way to mass farm mushrooms in the planters which yields a lot more than you'd get from transplanted ones, and with less growing/harvesting restrictions. Nobody in their right mind would waste time and effort chopping down an artificially placed mushroom forest to farm mushrooms, it's a lot easier to do so in the caves where it already naturally regrows, or farm them via planters. Lichen: I don't consider this an op food given its spoilage time. Compared to other transplantable veggie fillers like stone fruit and kelp, lichen is so weak and not worth farming - having it transplantable would not be game breaking at all either. 

Banana trees: again I would love to see them as a replantable alternative to banana bushes. They are not too game breaking and it's sad they don't regrow and are forever destroyed. 

There are other things like driftwood trees and spiky trees that are non-transplantable for no reason. Neither of the resources they provide are scarce to justify this restriction.

In a similar vein, lumpy evergreen seeds

Okay but Hear me out, Allow Wormwood & Wickerbottom (for Obvious Reasons) to be able to speed up the growth process of these things. Kinda like Poison Ivy from the Arkham Games.

a long time ago i had a mod that let you dig reeds and lightbulbs and it gave me so much happiness. i would be super pleased to see a way to have those again. it isnt even about resources either thay are just gorgeous

 

even if there was some silly restriction  like "lightbulbs are unpickable on the surface because they cant ripen fully" or something

You can get lightbulb on the surface from killing SkitterSquid, sure it’s not as effective as the pickable plant.. but it IS a way for players who have the cave server disabled for whatever reason.. to obtain lightbulbs on the surface shard now.

I just hope Klei is keeping up with all the changes they make to their game: Someone might come in and say “lightbulb is cave exclusive” and that May had been true, prior to the SkitterSquid being added. 🫶🏻

As the game progresses towards the later stages, I believe it is reasonable to allow players to achieve things that were once impossible.

Surprising seeds, Grass Tuft, Sapling, Spiky Bush, Sea Sprout Starter, Wobster Mound, Slurtle Mound, Marotter Raft. Marble Tree, Statue, Mushtree, Sea Stack, Moon Moth, Spiky Tree, Spilagmite, Pig Torch, Pig Head, Merm Head, Relic, etc.

As players' knowledge and abilities grow and the available resources increase, it is reasonable for them to have more production capacity.

Surprisingly... I can't agree. Sometime nature is beautiful because it is left in its nature.

I well understand that "But I'd like to decorate my base with Cactus or Light flowers etc", but I think what very needs to be improved is the dumb specification that only fern and succulent can be potted.

you and i dont often agree but i do agree here that the beauty of nature can indeed be its place in the wilds of nature. ok, i rescind my sentiment that i would like reeds and lightbulbs to be replantable. they can stay a temporary vase decoration and a natural element<3
