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

Table Coral is *not* respawning in my post-update new game. I believe it used to respawn but could be mistaken.

Now that you mention it - I have not confirmed that Acid Mushrooms respawn naturally post-update. They did at one point in the development process.

Apologies if I'm mistaken about that.

Found this, just wondered if anyone had found a way without getting injured.

I agree with some of the above, in that I've avoided it by just picking wild ones. However, I now need to farm Deep Shrooms to avoid lengthy trips, and they have the same issue...

Anyone have a solution?

The best way for farming I've found is to grow them, pick them all up, go away from anything important and just drop them. Once they're floating in the world you can slice them with your knife and get the seeds. You wanna only drop them one at a time though. There's also an armored diving suit in the game now. I'm not sure if that helps protect you from the mushrooms or not. Either way, it's not that hard to do. You just wanna have some med kits ready. :)

Well... when you have a battery and power cell chargers built, these shrooms not that really needed anymore. only at early stage, when you using many batteries and crafting them again and again. Actually, I think, the damage is not that big thing - if you have been collecting medkits from their manufacturing devices, easy to heal. What most important is - move them away from base. Everytime to eat medkit is not a problem, but plus to that - repair base damage is quite annoying.

The safest way I have found is to drop them, while not in the water, and cut them there. You still take damage, but the water physics doesn't carry to land, and you take less damage from them.

Specifically I built a foundation above the water level. No base damage, no acid cloud. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Except you are STILL getting damage in a why that our character should be able to make something to not get damage.
If you can't harvest a somewhat dangerious plant without getting hurt, then maybe they arn't really that high tech.

This may seem petty, but it is a simple plant that isn't evolving to stop you harvesting it, if what he has learnt for whatever job he does can't help then his job on the ship most certinly not a engineer...

There are so many acid shrooms in the world that I've never felt a need to farm them. And after you have the battery charger there is even less reason to.

I use them as accent lighting,

You're not able to plant them above water level though are you?

No. You are not able to plant them above water level. Simply handled. Another foundation, nearby, just below water level, with the grow-box.

Not too near the chop area, though. It's still an AoE damage effect, and if you are too near the grow box when you chop them, it will kill your other mushrooms.

I had a foundation destroyed by acid shroom harvesting. It just takes a while. Best to cut them out in the open near nothing else at all.

You did a lot more cutting than I did. I stopped after about 100-150. I've never seen anything completely destroy. Only become structurally unstable, and prone to flooding. Foundation above the water can't flood.

Well, you're not wrong. The immediate dangers are fratricide of other 'shrooms or plants, destruction of your planter, and leaky nearby base modules, for sure. I just wanted to point out that the Foundations themselves do take the damage, though I guess they do have a crapton of HP relative to everything else.

I chopped some shrooms :)

Actually, you can plant one, knife it, and wait for the acid to dissipate. If you bunch them all up and slice, they all rupture, and all that acid kills you. I'm just wondering if the deep shrooms from the lost river - bulb zone junction can be replicated with the same procedure.
