What?! 150?! Holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, are they serious

Don't you get like 12500 from one bag of fert? That is close to around 100 shots, still cheaper than normal ammo. :P

On reddit, there is a post that says the plant uses 50 fertilizer per shot.
crimsondrac Jun 2, 2016 @ 11:45am 
I have read other posts that say it is only 50 per shot and a bag of fertilizer is about 52000 so that is well over a thousand shots per bag. Even if it is 150 per shot, that is still 346 shots per bag. Not sure what the complaint is. You had to know free ammo for turrets would end sometime. If you are that hard up for fertilizer build a few more compost bins or get a few dung beetles. It is not the end of the world, please stop acting like it is. Oh, and I do not think Jesus did any work on this at all.

Well if u play on private server or pve or u are a total noob, than yes its no problem, but if u have a real base with a few hundred dinos in u need something to protect u from permanently attack spawning near your base, which is still isnt solved, so u need hundreds of x plant turrets for a real base, which means u easylie ♥♥♥♥ up 100 and more of fertilizers a Day, depending on how long u play.
AN x plants shoot one per sec. 60 Secs are 60*50 =3000 Fertilizer in 60 seconds.

Since i read and write this Posts, ONE turret shoot on a doede since about 15 mins, thats 3000*15 , this is nearly a full sack of fertilizers, and the turret still shoots, because the doede is not death. With this Fertilizer leach u need 1500 Compost bins which are permanently filled and working (which means more than one person need to permanently fill hundreds of Bins ).

Until the defs dont fix the spawning of dinos in bases, and changed the usability of idle Dinos to something better and clever (i lost a few dinos in the last weeks only because there bugged by neutral attack of dinos around somewhere in the bottom and got lost ) this is an absyolutly game breaking change.

btw. its now 20 minutes the turret has shoot, its now stopped, because all the fertilizer is out and the plant died, the doede is now moving nearer to base and another bunch of x turrets shoot there fertilizer away in a horrible rate.

BTW. I SEE NOW: the othe rplant that shoots, loose 150 !!?!?!? Fertilizer per shoot, that explains why my other plant died, with over 220k fertilizer in.....

Very thanks Defs.....

my turrets shoot over 5 Mio Fertilizer units now on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ doede...

Well, considering how species X is made for the lower lever players, and this update makes it harder for the higher level tribes to keep them, I say it's a good change.
CapnCrunch Jun 2, 2016 @ 4:26pm 
so did some further math and it works out like this plant x fire in rounds of 3 1st 2 shots use 100 fert 3rd shot uses 200 fert making the avg total fert use of 133.3 per shot so ea bag is going to give u 405 shots. Then there is the matter of the deod will run plant x out in matter of mins then u have to go back to replant.

Plant x are mostly for CC, you go and do the rest with whatever weapons you have. Like a balista or something like that...
I'm reviving this thread to ask:

Is plant x effective on titans, and how much of it to push it back away? Like they enter range and by the time the plant stops shooting because it went out of range, it got pushed back a few foundations.

Well it's true for anything, it takes a lot of time for plants to kill anything, I was asking if plants x is effective to push titans away.

if you got a ♥♥♥♥ ton of them then it will essentially not move, best you can hope for

So, it works? I have rows 5 ceilings high and 8 foundations lenght of plant x wall... It sends giga and bronto flying far far away from my base which is in water.
I was afraid someone tamed a titan then rushed at us and titans could have ignored plant x and auto turrets.
