Spend all my time looking for scrap metal to make weed killer.

[Lemmey]

I seem to spend all my time looking for scrap metal to make stop weed spray and it looks like I'm now fighting a losing battle - I've ran out on my own roof and as fast as I can look for it on the second roof more 'weeds' appear overnight.
What with that and making boxes to store excess seeds and slime etc in, I'm don't seem to have any time to actually progress the game. It's eat, lots more plants appear over night, go find 10 scrap metal to make a couple of cans of stop weed spray, maybe do a bit of gathering or repair some fences... then its night time again.
I must have missed something maybe? As other people seem to be progressing fine according to Discord. I've more or less given up now as I got bored. Can anyone help with advice on how to stop the 'I need more weed spray but haven't got any scrap metal nearby' cycle? Or should I just let the weeds grow? (But I thought the game tips said not to)

I've had to buy scrap metal and plastic from Stan's shop, scavenge locations on the map, fish without bait, and I've disassembled things at the workbench. Crazy right, and I'm playing in giant pink kitty mode I couldn't handle it otherwise.

Dear Lemmey,

My advise is to build noharm cultivators to stop electrosites to spawn every night and so you will not have the problem with the weed. Anyway, you can get a lot of scrap metal from fishing, disassembling different resources, microwaves and so on. You can get metal scrap from the expedition also. There are a lot of scrap sourses on the roof.

I'm the same! Spend all my time doing exactly that. I don't have a single thing now on my own roof which hasn't been disassembled. Don't think I'm playing in giant pink kitty mode - as I've not even heard of it lol - though so maybe I need to look into that...

Many thanks for the tips. I've just looked it up and I can see what my problem was. I can't build the noharm cultivator yet until I have a repellent canister and I can't get a repellent canister until I can make floor patches and I can't make floor patches until I have a riveting hammer... and that was what I was stuck on before as I can't get a fibreglass rod to upgrade the hammer with. I know I need to complete the stage quest in order to get the rod but I can't get the game to give me the stage quest...
So in the meantime while trying to get the quest (although I didn't know I needed the upgraded hammer to get rid of the electrosites) I've just been going round in circles fetching scrap metal from wherever I could.
Any tips on how to get the quest I need? Because I can't find out how to get it to do that.
Many thanks

To get the stage quest, in a nutshell:

Go do the expeditions to collect the jukebox and carnival game 'bots.
Do their quests (collect games, farming tasks, collecting the white album)
Do the quests for the fridge (cooking tasks)
Get the stage quest
?????????
Profit

Thanks for the tips. Will get back to it at some point. It's just so frustrating as I waste so much time collecting scrap, making weed spray and killing weeds.
I thought I'd got it sorted because I read somewhere you could surround the weeds with trees and bushes. Did that ... and the wretched electrosites just wriggled through them. I apparently can't get through trees and bushes but they can : (

A bit of advice , no harm cultivator also wasting materials, it keep breakings in a while.

I recommend using UV towers, it can killed and zap all that problems away, if you positioning it Rights the uv tower won't damaged from bug attack.

I done lot of testing with that, but you also can put iron barricade for extra safety so the uv tower not get attacked (it's gone if it hit 0),

I save lot of material this way, i had 1 full box of full upgrade scrap metal (it's overflowing i need to turn it into nails and other stuff) so around 2000 ?

For your scrap problem , you can get it a lot from fishing, i really recommended it when you open pool area. For Material just fish without any bait, you can get common materials or lucky furniture to disassemble.

That sounds perfect. I've looked and I've got the right workbench so can make a UV tower so I'll try that thanks.

I was trying to collect the games to have the housewarming party but with so much time taken sorting out the weed problem it was just taking too long (and I couldn't find the first game where I read it was).

Thanks for your other reply too - yes, I can fish and have been.. It was just taking all too much time as, like the expeditions, I didn't get enough scrap at a time... I obviously have no patience ;)

Right - back to trying to sort out those pesky weeds so I can get on with other things : )
