WilliamD
Official Terrarian
Have you ever though about the process of farming in Terraria? You get a lot of seeds, plant them in the right condition, harvest one by one, replant, restock. Sounds simple right? The problem is:
One: It is BORING. Let's face it, doing all that crap will make you lose interest in farming fairly fast.
Two: it is also rather tedious. You don't get much from it as well and you need more seeds when you run out!
Well I thought up of an solution to this problem; Vegetative Reproduction! Now you might be asking "What is crap Vegetative Reproduction WilliamD?" Well it is the process of asexual reproduction that happens in plants that only requires one plant to produce the offspring. The offspring is genetically identical and is rooted to the original plant. "Wow WilliamD that sounds quite boring as well and what does it have to do with this?"
Think of it, if plants in Terraria could reproduce on their own, then you would have an auto farm going up! No more tedious process of replanting anymore! You could literally buy only one seed, and have it reproduce from there! Also, since they are connected to the same root, if you have Smart Cursor activated, it will harvest them all at once! In addition, each plant has a 10% to drop 1-2 seeds. Finally, they will not preform this this process altogether if the conditions are not met.
"What else?" You may ask. There's more! There is a roughly 5% chance for a plant to become a "Big" plant! When a plant becomes a "big" plant, it will have three of the same plant on one plant!
Sounds overpowered right? Say no more! To keep this balanced, you must have compost on the ground near and on the reproducing plant for it to actually preform this process. In order to craft compost, you need to following:
-Anywhere
_________
-Tin can x10
-Seaweed x10
-Old shoe x10
-Clorophyte ore x1
_________
Compost x10
Why Chlorophyte?
One: Balance
Two: Compost needs life.
Also, after the second plant, vegetative reproduction slows down by 50% for the other plants on the same root to also prevent mega farms.
So what do you think?
