DeputyDeath Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Do you mean when they go brown? That means they need to be fertilised. This happens during summer (they wither) and when you plant them back down. Also, if you replant a berry bush, it'll need fertilising again every ~5 harvests. You can use manure and rot to fertilise them. Just click on the item in your inventory and move the cursor (holding the fertiliser) over the bush. A prompt will appear to fertilise it. Then, left click to fertilise the bush. The same applies to farm plots (which very occasionally must be fertilised) and grass tufts. Saplings never need to be fertilised unless they wither in Summer. If you're wondering, you can get manure from beefalo or by feeding pigs certain foods (like flower petals, berries and butterfly wings), and rot can be acquired by leaving almost any food type for a long time (the coloured bar on the food will go all the way down).

GiddyGuy Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 @DeputyDeath I think he's talking about the new diseased plants they added to Don't Starve Together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhh... I think he means the thing in the update... IDK if it's the same as withering, but there are "diseased" things in DST now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not_Wilson Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 If you have a shovel I currently just dig 'em up and replant them. I checked the lua and I'm not seeing anything that will trigger the diseased state to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asparagus Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Well according to the updated patch notes, they just die off and get replaced with the alternate variant... juicy to regular... petrified to regular rock(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CassieCroft Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 So if you made a base and had a bunch of berry bushes that then went diseased, would they then be replaced in the base? I do admit that I like the idea of having to go get more plants in the work to keep your base set up. It makes it a little more challenging.

FTR Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I agree with adding stuff to make it more challenging to maintain a healthy base, but can we actually cure those plants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahlsen Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Theory : certain things need to be placed on certain turfs so as not to have diseases, this would give the fork an important use. Like grasses on savannah only, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cezarica Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Last night I played with a bunch of nice guys on my server and we collected a bunch of grass and the new pimped berries bushes and planted them in our base then used buckets of manure to revive them. A few days later saw them turn into the diseased form and then disappear completely, or at least that I was been told as nobody grief-ed us. What bothers me is that we haven't had the chance to actually pick the fruits of our labor. So, will there be any means of fixing the diseased stuff? Used a shovel on some sapling that started to turn and had them back in my inventory as non- diseased saplings and planted them again and where in a "normal" state to see them turn again in a couple of game time hours (minutes in real life). So, anyone had the chance to experiment the new mechanic and found out it's weaknesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww I wanted to keep petrified trees. They look so cool. Are they replaced in the same spot, or just die out and then something else spawns in the world somewhere? I hope its not the latter, as it'll really not help base building, which is why people play lategame anyway. 6 hours ago, FTR said: I agree with adding stuff to make it more challenging to maintain a healthy base, but can we actually cure those plants? Something like the flingomatic, but against diseases, should exist IMO. And have another method that just isn't automatic, so that its cheaper but takes more of your limited time until the diseased plant dies, but the flingomatic like thing would be better than it 6 hours ago, Bahlsen said: Theory : certain things need to be placed on certain turfs so as not to have diseases, this would give the fork an important use.

I skipped to day 744 on console last night, and the grass tufts near beefalos never became diseased, and some berry bushes remained at some point at least.

Well, I don't really know the specifics, but from what I read, variants will interchange as the other dies off... but with the petrified trees, I think it's trees turning old and becoming rocks... but I can't really make sure of it as I haven't found one yet... <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite honestly is the grass gekkos. They don't outright destroy grass sources, but they're a much more unique way of obtaining grass. Spooking them, taking their tails, and then closing up the pen again, is what I'd like to do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just about this update of more like a thing to make it harder to maintain the base so you would have to actively work to keep it going and for example abandoned bases in dst wouldn't be just source of free materials.

Well, I would plant like 3-9 berry bushes in my base from time to time when I have someone who finds and joins my camp... but when you're in a server where almost everyone makes a base or a "super farm" base, almost all the berry bushes in the world get dug up and new comers have nothing to eat save for the mole meat and butterflies (if there are still flowers around)... I'm an advocate for big bases but when it comes to natural resources, I try to keep my impact to a minimum... but hey, most dedicated servers are set to Survival mode anyway so it doesn't really matter if you conserve or not XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK <.< To be honest i really dislike (if not straight out hate) this mechanic and here is why. I love building gigantic bases with huge farms... - and seeing hours of work being wasted within 2-5 minutes due to something you have no chance to stop really isn't enjoyable in my book. It is like having wildfires but no ice flingomatic or water balloons, it'll burn down your base so you can build a new one from the ground again just like it was before. This does not change things up this just makes people waste time doing the gathering of berry bushes, grass etc. again and again all the time without being able to see progress. Atleast make a way to avoid disease 100% in the base and farms, like a kind of ice flingomatic to remove and/or prevent disease or make it so that grass cannot be diseased on grass turf (that would actually make the turfs useful for something)... Not being able to build a lasting base would be a goodbye for my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au contraire mi amor, a "base" is not measured merely by the amount of berry bushes, grass tufts, and saplings you migrate to your central operating area... If I may, there are plenty of Base Builders in Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together... I myself, not boasting, are one of such... I personally don't find berries that much of a loss from a base... yes, now, they are essential for making rot for booster shots, but juicy berry bushes are better at it... for food production, I look to Spiders, Bees, and Bird Cages... for most the most part, grass and twigs are easy to come by and a mere dozen or so of each can sustain a base of 6... So... yeah... also, partly the reason for why I don't employ that many grass/saplings/berry bushes in my bases is because of the lag that would result from too many things being loaded on-screen :T But I do respect your answer as most do like to have berry bushes and the like in close proximity... and for the most part, it is a good strategy for those who are still a bit new to the game... Warning too many things (some are from pre-RoG in DST as I cannot fit all of the things in this post and will just be bad advertising): Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkXero Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 That's the whole point of things getting diseases and dying. If you see berry bushes dying, go look for juicy berry bushes, and viceversa. Or just put a birdcage and get a trillion eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
