Mildly curious about peoples opinions on Wurt's skill tree after so long

[Uedo]

I like it, it has a nice flow with the affinities. 

Skeeter bombs are fine, but would it be possible to not have to equip speed boosts in order to recapture them?  I'd much prefer to farm my blood shots this way, but after a change at some point in the beta for Wurts tree they made them act like followers - so they try to keep distance.  I distinctly remember you used to be able to chuck a skeeter bomb and then pick up the mosquitos without them flying away at some speed.

My gameplay is usually very slow-paced, so I don't feel the problems associated with the number of merms as much. For example, if I'm near a swamp, I usually only build 1 house for the king, and I usually have enough swamp merms. If I'm far from the swamps, I build 4-10 houses for resource extraction. I usually have around 6 guards when I need help with raid bosses.I can say that I intentionally don't create an army of a huge number of merms, because I understand that the more merms involved in a battle, the less fun it is.For me, mermaids are resource gatherers, not warriors.(apologies for the long introduction)

As for the skill tree:

in the end, I was able to fully appreciate the  of mosquitoes, although I understand that it could have been better, but using mosquito bombs to create chaos and then getting free healing is nice. fertilizing a is nice, but the recipe is not very convenient, and I tend to forget about it. It's also very funny sometimes to run through the swamp and collect mosquitoes. but I would still be happy if they added the opportunity to grow mosquitoes outside the swamps (for example, in the "hives"), and I very often have problems with the selection of "tamed" mosquitoes. That's why I keep going on endlessly.😆

I didn't like the amphibian branch at all, and the "temperature rise" function is not convenient for me, and the requirement to be constantly wet for the shield is too specific for my gameplay (excluding spring).

I like the quest thread because it gives me more motivation to explore the ocean and ruins, and the  rewards for these items are fair.(there may be more interesting rewards for Wurt himself, in theory)

I also like the king's stomach branch, which allows me to go about my business more often away from the base and have less of a feeding routine.

All the buildings of merms are excellent. but I LOVE the fact that merms can now plow fields, which is very convenient, as well as the fact that they clean up the stumps behind them. I am very comfortable with this skill and I consider it the best.

Also to my friends (and me)  I like the skill to speed up everyone in the swamp, it's simple but very enjoyable, even in battles (and gatherings) in the swamps, even inside the base if we make swamp turf there

the skill of the "smart swamp fighter" seems to me excessively strange and disturbing at the moment

I also think that moon and shadow skills are both good,but I prefer shadow skills for several reasons: I don't use moon merms because I prefer moon glass to my friends because they love moon cutters and because I don't really like the look of mutated merms (although they are cool).Also, the "shadow mud wand" gives  more motivation to defeat the werewolf pig.   I like how cool it is that the merms are following in the footsteps of the ancients and also becoming shadow creatures. BUT the main reason (though perhaps a little silly) why I choose the shadow side is that before wurt came out, I was the main  Maxwell before he was recycled, so I still have the old habit of having several shadow creatures constantly following me around doing my job😏.

I apologize in advance for the fact that the text is large or if there are errors in the text(alas, the translator may not convey the meaning correctly)
