Plants attacking me?

[xsiren]

So, It's been a long time since me and my best friend have played, and when we came back, so much has changed and it's been fun. The one thing not fun? Our plants attacking us and surrounding us with roots whenever we pick them. I don't know how to stop that or what to do? Is that supposed to happen?

We have the same problem...

you got a spindel weed somewhere in your farm shovel spindel weed as soon as you can dont let them even grow at all there are other weeds too called fireneedel that hurt you if you get too close to them if let fully grown so shovel that away soon too then there are tilweed that can make stone on your farms if left alone and forget me lots may even respawn if shoveld away or can make more on empty places so shovel the weeds out and you sould be good you maybe want tilweed for makin a healing item or forget me lots for a sanity tea but not realy good to have anyway they hurt the other plants too

dont leave empty holes in your soil for weeds to grow

Its not your plants, its weeds.

It's one of the 4 Weeds:

Spiky Bind Weed (the one hurting you) = Protects plants around it from being dug and picked. Tottaly useless.

Tillweed = Makes mounds of rock in your plots that upset other plants. Can be harvested to make a slightly better healing salve (but not worth it tbh, it needs petals and charcoal)

Fire nettles = If you touch/pick a grown one it inflicts a poison that increases your temperature by 60 for a minute. This can easily overheat you in any session that isnt Winter. Can be harvested to gain the leaves that when eaten invoke the same effect (but hurt you for 20 hp) kinda neat for Winter otherwise useless.

Forget me lots = The most common Weed. When dug up it might reappear in the same spot later so its hard to root out. The pettles can be combined with 2 honey and 1 ice in a crockpot to make a tea that restores 45 sanity (15 instantly + 30 over time, which is even better). If you can make it, the tea is unironicly quite good

The only catch to forget me lots (if you give up a single tile plot to farm them) is they enter a "bolting" stage which is useless as it produces no pettals anymore. (but they spread at this stage too, so you want a few bolting flowers), If you do try to have a small tile of them, you will need to dig up the old plants from time to time if you dont harvest them constantly.

Alright! Thank you all.
