Poisoning and and pi pi fruit are unbalanced

[Boomski]

Day 18/9:45 minuets game play.
Poisoned 3 times in water diving the shipwrecks.
Pee Pee fruit has yet to respawn on three different islands.
Great game but this very irritating.
Any help would be appreciated.

Pipi does not respawn outside of farming plots. You need to find one (optimally three, two to cure you while you wait for the other to grow) and make a hoe + farm plot + water still and plant the third. Keep it watered and, when it bears fruit [sic] make another farm plot and plant the new one while waiting for another to grow in the first. So on and so on...

When I start a new game, my first goal is to ensure my water supply. And my next priority is to grow pipi plants. Normally I plant 4 of them as quickly as possible and make a supply of at least 5-6 bottles of antidote. When I have achieved this, I feel well prepared and just let the Pipi plants grow until I need them again.
I admit that it takes some time to grow enough for a fair amount of antidote but once you have them you're pretty safe. And until you have enough of them stored - you rather should be careful.

And to be honest: I don't think that pipi is unbalanced. It's a survival game and swimming around in a tropical ocean of course is dangerous. So I tend to keep myself in a save surrounding until I have what I need to cure poisoning.
What fun would it be to play a survival game if there's no danger, no risk to die?

Thanks for the Farming tip, will be my next project.

Finding out the ability to grow them makes it no longer a big deal.
While diving is an integral part of the game I was a bit worried.
Seems I paddled half way to Australia looking for the beggers.

Thanks again for the input from both of you.
Game on!
