How To Create A Dark Petal Farm

[Cynical Cynicist]

Ugh. I just picked all of the dark flowers from a nearby ring thing spawn. All of the other things are very far apart and distanced from my base.

 

That's why I was wondering if there was a way to have bees pollinate the dark flowers, then provoke them to move closer to your base gradually. It's probably the easiest and best way of farming Nightmare Fuel, as inducing hallucinations and force-attacking them or using nightmare amulets in conjunction with rabbits is a real hassle.

make 3rd tier wall any material around said petal farm all you need is to release some wild bees and they shouldn't be able to fly out and will pollinate it. But you sorta screwed yourself by picking all the close ones.

Why would you murder - MURDERER! the fluffy rabbits, when all you have to do is wear the amulet and sit on a tooth trap carpet, and hallucinations will commit mass suicide as long as the amulet lasts. You are also guaranteed to get nightmare fuel, unlike bearlings

 

You just sit there and reset traps as they go off, when you think you got enough, remove amulet and voila

If bees cause new flowers to spawn it must be a slow process cause I've never noticed it happening.

 

Anyway, I find farming the nightmares to be remarkably easy after doing it for awhile (using the Michael the Fox mod, he has 50 sanity). The only annoying part is the sanity boost from killing them. You could just get a stack of cooked monster meat or something to keep it low, though.

Walls? I built one but I somehow thought is just useless to bees and also a waste of resource. Bees tend to ignore wall physics logic over pollination logic, they just pass though whenever they feel like it once they are pollinating. Anyway, I built all my The Thing set pieces into a dark flower farm, 20 bees each places.

None of them are near you? I guess it wouldn't be so bad venturing out once in a while to collect those flowers...if you make it big enough it's not like the flowers can't grow within close proximity of each other anyway. I'll do that too then.

The 2 of them are not that far, the dwarf I think is 3-5 screens away from me, the ring is just a wormhole trip, the pig farmer however is so far but what the heck? I made it a real farm anyway.

Well, you could set up bee hives in a line from the source flowers to the destination and pick all other flowers to try to expedite the process. Then just be patient because it's probably going to take a good long while. You may even try to release a number of homeless bees to increase the population of bees.

 

Not sure on the wall technique.

You can make one,it's incredible tedious but it's possible.Note:if you have picked all the dark flowers of your world you can't build one.

 

First find a Telerpotato setpiece (the ring thing is the one wich works the best).Build a level 3-wall around the ring thing(keep in mind,the bigger the wall is,the more amount of flowers will appear). Pick all the regular flowers from the area,inside the wall and outside it.

Next, capture a stack of bees,destoying their hive/box .Drop the bees next to the evil flowers and run (the bees will be hostile). When you come back, the bees will be pollinating the evil flowers.

Note: Never pick the flowers from the original setpiece,never.

 

 

Doing all that without mistakes will create a dark petal farm.If you leave flowers outside the wall or you don't destroy bee's hive,bees will flee.

Hope this helped

Well gee, to make a nightmare amulet, you need a Shadow manipulator built. If you're at that point already, you really shouldn't have problems getting nightmare fuel.

try Greeen Mushrooms if you have a good source nearby, especially if you find a Set Piece ring of them!

I stink with walls. What do you mean by level-3 wall?

What,level 3 wall?

*Reads text*

I don't know why,but that 3 should be a 2.

*whew!* that is a relief. I'll try it out then and see how well it works, thanks!
