Potions and growing your garden

[Himsl Games YT]

I love using potions to grow my plants. But you can't expect me to drag a potion onto each plant every time. Come on let me just fill the watering can with the potion. Let me put 50 potions in there instead of dragging a potion over 50 times.

Yeah, it would be nice to be able to do that faster. I noticed it started taking a long time, too. However, I wonder if they intended us to use growth potions on every single plant every single day, or just on the ones we were running out of.

I was wondering if that thread continued.
I realised yesterday that once I start getting bulk discounts for my wild growth potions, I get far more back already than it cost me to craft them. And that's with only the basic herb +quantity at max.
I suppose you inevitably end up in a situation where you're using it on everything once you have a few of the right plants to cover the cost. Doesn't seem intended, but oh well!

I guess it is a little overpowered, if you know how to make efficient potions, but the new hard modes would be such a grind without these powerful potions.

I guess they probably can't take away the feature now... but if they allow it in the watering can maybe it would be more watered down, and only have some of the benefit, that might be a good balance.

I don't care what the developers intended. If it turns out different from what they intended and it is bothering them, they could try to change it in some future update. If such a change happens or is announced, that may be a worthy subject of debate.

If you want to use the fast growing potions on every plant every day, it is up to you. I use them only to get past the growing phase of the plants (and for that I don't need the perks for faster growth of herbs, mushrooms, and minerals). At least in the classic mode this use was an enjoyable and well-balanced experience for me. More efficiency was absolutely not needed.

I very rarely use growing potions tbh. Choosing to use a growing potion is a choice you make in your gameplay. You can just not do it and have an equally fine experience. Unless you're doing Suffering there really isn't any need for that many plants tbh

I must plant max, REEEE! gotta fully optimize my gameplay!
