Machine Reaper Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The withering mechanic seems to work too fast now in SW, when Dry season starts and during the first day everything (Grass,twigs etc) withered in a matter of micro seconds even before a single segment of day was spent. and unlike before withering seems to take place beyond the vision of the player now. I hope this is not an Update or something cause if you have an unpicked ripe farm of corps (saplings in my case) and dry season starts you won't be able to save them even with an ice flingomatic turned On before...

JimmyJam Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yea it's pretty bad, I think its a bug becasue now its 100% of the plants but before its was about 90%. If you don't have stacks of grass and sticks the dry season is going to be so much harder until they fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeputyDeath Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Are you sure the ice fling-o-matic can't save your crops? I've had my ice fling-o-matic flooded for 5 days into dry season and yet it still saved 80% of my grass tufts, saplings and berry bushes from being withered when it finally started working again. It's annoying how farm plots seem to wither instantly though, and there doesn't seem to be a way of stopping it from happening. I lost all 8 of my dragon fruit in the last dry season, and I'm still trying to recover. Luckily, my first harvest in calm season gave me a dragon fruit again, but that's just luck. Dry season ain't too bad I guess. Just surround your ice fling-o-matic with 4 sandbags and put it on crafted turf to stop it from flooding and keep it turned on during the last days of Monsoon Season just to be sure.

You have to keep the fling-o-matic ON before dry season starts and that is not my cup of tea...the insta-withear thing is really awful if you ask me, at first nothing grows and now the sky rains dragon eggs, well we are only missing the Giant how about we throw in that as well and call it a Vacation!

I actually love having the eggs drop down. I've reserved a part of my base island, which is pretty big, to be battered with volcano bombs during dry season. Therefore, I can easily gather all of the resources dropped by the eruptions, such as rocks, flint + charcoal from the lava pools (or obsidian if you extinguish them with ice) and obsidian, monster meat + hearts from the dragoons. So, all in all, I quite enjoy having the dragon eggs during eruptions because I collected over 15 obsidian last dry season, and that's without extinguishing lava pools. Dry season is a blessing for me now. I get a ton of obsidian, flint and rocks (I have 2 chests full of them right now), with overheating being the only real concern. As for withering... Maybe they should give us 1/4 of a day to turn our ice fling-o-matics on before withering all the plants? It would still be damaging for those who failed to prepare, but wouldn't be as ridiculous as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
