How to grow the plants faster

[Nashy]

Hey the last trophy i need is the full terrarium.
i got all seeds but now my plants have to grow.
is there a method to make that faster?

It's probably tied to mission progression. As in, if you've finished the game and you don't have any more missions, you're probably stuck. Someone else who has played to the end can maybe confirm this is the case, but the only times I ever saw the plants grow any was after completing a mission (planet) and coming back to the ship. Somehow I doubt it's just time related. Could be wrong however, as I haven't studied it for long or tried the wait-and-see method.

tl;dr Spend time in game

I have played the game to 100% and can confirm that plants do grow even after you did all the missions. I tried multiple things like travelling from planet to planet, meditating or just restarting the game. The only way to make them grow is spending time in the game, running around the world etc.

After planting the seeds walking around for about an 45 minutes and reloading the game I got them to grow to the first stage. I have no idea what the actual amount of time is tho.

[EbonHawk]

Ah, okay. So, just go and rehash some previous areas and that should take care of it. Cool.

I think it works like this (atleast from my observations having this exact problem): Plants grow in 2 stages. You get 1 stage per levelup. (Good spot to farm, slugs and spiders on the wookieplanet)

I thought it was tied to levelups as well.

Okay so i had this problem too so I travel to planet Bogano, went to Ogdo Bogdo Lair and connect joysticks with an elastic, let the game run overnight, when i woke up I went back to Mantis and all plants were done. :)

[keine ahnung]

Analogs joined with elastic string and all night circling around helped me as well!

[EbonHawk]

So not levelups. Guessing a macro-keyboard would work for this as well then. Thanks, all!

I know (as I had 1 dirt patch when I finished the story) that it just takes time. Spend time out of the ship basically, maybe 1 hr, maybe 2.

Leave the game running and go do something else for a bit, leave it long enough and the plant will be grown.

Annoying chievo really, unless u find the plants quick in the playthru.

Found the answer to this elsewhere, this was unfortunately some really shoddy game design as far as achievements are concerned, as I thought I had all the plants and spent hours playing with nothing else to unlock, only to realise that the plants grow based on both time , but also saving checkpoints and going to the ship, here is the process:

Once you have all 10 plants / your last plant, travel to Bogano, run to the first checkpoint and save, then quit to main menu.

Continue your game, head to the ship, you last plant will now have grown to stage 1 (half grown), run back to the checkpoint, save there and quite to main menu.

Continue again, run back to ship and check out your terrarium for achievement.

Interesting.. but won't help me, since I think I'm still missing 2 of them.
