Eloa leaf - what is it for .... ?

[danny]

...and where is the associated 'research herbal medicine' which hasn't popped up

[Flin Fredstone]

I don't recall any Eloa leaf in my playthroughs, though i don't play on all maps.
Check your crafting table. Could be that just like manure and other stuff you can use it after you observed it. No separate research needed.

It only comes up on the expedition 'New flora spotted', and it is the spiked plant referred to. If you go on the expedition you come back with 50 of these and the message 'new herbal medicine research available' (or similar). Eloa is not available to be observed on the maps, so no observation necessary. And when you do have it you can't farm it. And it doesn't crop up on the crafting table. A bit of a mystery

...and you can't make teas with it ...!

[Flin Fredstone]

What biome are you playing in ? And do you use any mods that add such finds ?

[danny]

Desertum (but the expedition appears on all. Will check mods and get back to you. Thanks

[danny]

Nothing in mods that seems to be relevant

[Flin Fredstone]

I find no discussion about Eloa leaf. Is it spelled correct ? I checked a couple of my older Desertum saves and none show signs of such.

I'll paste a screen shot of the expedition option and my resource stockpile, which includes it, if I can work out how to do screenshots on this discussion group

I think this is it ...

[Flin Fredstone]

You have to set it to public. It's set to private atm. It's a pull down option on the middle right side of the screenshot in your profile screenshot list. Or you can just look it up in your screenshot library and switch it to public there.

Edit: Select Stranded Alien Dawn in your steam library, on the right side of the screen go to Screenshots. Select the screenshot in the list and set Visibility to Public.

[danny]

OK, I eventually found the right screen I think. It should be public now...

[Flin Fredstone]

In all my time playing the game i have never seen that expedition. It has to be from a mod i think.

[Flin Fredstone]

If this is one of the mods you're using scroll through your research screen.

I downloaded Project X but having looked at it decided it wasn't for me, and disabled it. I wonder if some legacy of it remains? Will have another look at it
