Farming Acid Mushrooms??

[E y e s u c k]

So does anyone know of a way to get acid mushroom seeds that doesn't involve suicide?? It's not that hard to pick them in a pattern where they'll only go off one at a time but that also means when you grow them, you basically don't get anywhere near enough seeds for farming.

So I'm just wondering if maybe there's a way to farm seeds that I don't know about. Either that or it's just a terrible design flaw :P

I have 1 large aquarium, singe, not stacked. I grow only acid shrroms in there with some small fish to rlease into the wilds. Never had a problem harvesting shrooms for batteries or cutting for seeds in an aquarium yet.

a pair of exterior grow beds within 10 seconds of air of each other, one for the harvesting and only holding one at a time, and the other the main bed. four titanium and a single mushroom will do it.

Not sure what you're saying. Four titanium and a single mushroom? What's that for?

the two exterior growbeds. each growbed costs 2 titanium. make them, get a mushroom, plant it, then slash it, plant one of the spores in that bed, then the other three in the other. as soon as the single one finishs growing, repeat the slash. and so one and so forth.

Oh ok. I get you now. I actually feel kind of stupid for not already thinking of that.

I will never understand what type of person would harvest a plant that hurts you if you are too close to it.
Maybe someone with too much free healthcare and a liking for pain I guess?
But if our character can't think of a way to harvest them without getting hurt, then I guess their brain got repossested or something.

You can also drop them on the ground to slash. Just watch that you don't set them on a hill - they roll -really- fast.

Or maybe he doesn't care,because he can literally make all the medical supplies he needs out of thin air while not even needing to wait 30 min if one was to build/deconstruct the med kit supplier multiple times :D?On top of that he heals away the damage of more than a dozen shrooms with 1 med kit.Probably that thing hurts only as much as touching a thorny rose or falling in a thorny bush :D.
Pain is relative,especially in a world where healthcare is not even remotively as expensive as in America :D.
Like you would probably go robbing banks,too if you knew that worst that could happen is that you land in a hospital and loose 500 bucks or get captured by the police and loose all your ammo and get a fine of a few hundred bucks.
All a matter of perspective man ;).

Don't you find the acid kills the fish? That's what's happened with me, a couple of times now (because I forgot the first time lol).

Pain is relative untill it is enought for someone to die from simply the pain itself.
But seriously, they should make that medikit dispenser cost something and disable the respawner...

The medkit dispenser does have a cost now, and there's hardcore mode where you don't respawn.

Naw. Because it is a single level aqauarium, I go in, take fish out, release some outside of the base, keep a few in inventory to put back in aquarium after I pick the shrooms. Then harvest 3 shrooms whole, cut the last one for spore. Replant, put fish back. Cycle, rinse, repeat. Kinda tediousm but it works to keep me in enough shrooms for batteries. I do the outdoor growbeds in a different gamesave. Just mucking around testing different ways to do things until the game is finished. Then I'll use the most efficient ways I have found to do a full run. And die alot still most likely, cycle, rinse and repeat. xD

My system is, I pick them all, then sample 4, one at a time (because acid also kills my acid mushrooms!) Then I plant all the spores.

Yep. That works too stucol. And yeah, important to remember that when yu cut one for spores, any around it die/explode too. And having a med kit handy is important, because you will take some small damage each time you cut for spores. :)

Generally, if you pick them up and take them somewhere (presumably you know underwater) away from other objects ... drop and slice one at a time with a knife. Growing naturally on seabed cutting one destroys others nearby. If you're slicing up more than two or three for 4x seeds, watch your HEALTH BAR -- try not to die.. ;)
