Do grass tufts harvested via lureplants spawn grass gekkos?

[Aronthaer]

I've been thinking of digging up a large amount of grass tufts and using them in conjuction with lureplants to make automatic farms. however, I need to know if lureplants harvesting transplanted grass will spawn gekkos. this would be detrimental, as the lureplants would kill the gekkos, causing my world to lose grass over time. any help would be much appreciated!

No.

 You should also try to do a gekko farm since you won't need to fertilize it from time to time and gekkos can't get diseased like regular grass tufts ;d

I thought about it, but I think I might prefer this method, as I have an excess of fertilizer and disease turned off. thanks for the fast reply!

YES THEY DO!  All replanted grass tufts spawn grass geckos.  Doesn't matter how you harvest the grass after 50 days ALL plants enter their disease/variant phase where the chance of one of the 2 things can and WILL eventually happen.  Its a really simple fix though, just dig up the tufts when you're not using them.  Simple as that, thats what I do and I haven't had one gecko or diseased plant.

Really?? @Aronthaer I'm sorry for giving you wrong information 

Edit: A guy in this link says that lureplant doesn't trigger the gekko spawn, so I'm not sure anymore T.T

All that I can say is that I have a lureplant grass farm on my world and the grass did get diseased (I'm too lazy to dig the tuft just to plant it again later, it's a private world so I'm not prejudicing anyone but me) but I never saw a grass gekko spawning from it (take on account it is a 1% chance to trigger the gekko spawn for each collected grass and I have 80 transplanted grass tufts)...

I think what we're talking about is two different things.

Grass gekkos spawn in one of two ways. first, if grass gets diseased, Grass Gekkos will spawn near that point when the grass tufts die. this much is true.

However, I have diseased turned off, so I'm not worried about resource variant changes. I'm worrying about the other kind of grass gekko spawning. If grass tufts have been dug up and transplanted for over 25 days, when harvesting the grass tufts there is a 1% chance for six of them to become gekkos. however, I'm not sure if lureplants trigger this check and if eventually when harvesting a bunch of the grass tufts will turn into gekkos and die. thanks everyone

No we're talking about the same thing.  Let me reiterate, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOU HARVEST THE GRASS, any and all grass tufts that have been transplanted enter their disease/variant phase(meaning they have a chance to disease or shift to geckos) after 50 days.  You could literally not harvest a single piece of grass and it will STILL enter this phase.

Even with disease turned off transplanted grass will spawn geckos, but as Clwnbaby said just dig up the tufts when you're done harvesting and viola! grass for dayzzzzz

elseif not TheWorld.state.iswinter
        and picker ~= nil
        and picker:HasTag("player")
        and math.random() < TUNING.GRASSGEKKO_MORPH_CHANCE then
        triggernearbymorph(inst, true)
    end

I've been using a lureplant to farm grass for hundreds of days, never got a gekko (as you can see from the code, it checks if the picker is a player).

Oh nice, that makes things clear

But disease can still occur if the lureplants pick the grass, or even if the grass isn't picked at all, right?

Yeah, as long as the grass is replanted it can get diseased.
