hyper speed gro (radioactive ore)

[red255]

So I'm looking to cover my field with hyper speed gro in ginger island.

I can craft it but it takes radioactive ore. is there any better way to get radioactive ore than to hope nodes spawn in the dangerous mines for like 2 ore a node? the bones and solar aren't an issue.

legitimately, not thru some glitch. or is there any place that sells it besides occasionally from chests in the skull cavern.

There's only a few ways on how to get radioactive ore
Radioactive Nodes in The Mines during Danger In The Deep quest or after activating the Shrine of Challenge on floor 120 to increase the difficulty.

Radioactive Nodes in Skull Cavern during Skull Cavern Invasion quest.

Also the chance of finding Radioactive Nodes in either location increases as one goes deeper into the mine, and also with Daily Luck and Luck Buffs. It is most strongly affected by Daily Luck, and only slightly affected by depth in the mine and Luck Buffs

yeah been running floor 80 to 85 unless I have a quest. haven't seen too many dangerous cavern quests. maybe I'll try 110-115

Just use deluxe? Collecting that much radioactive ore would take longer than the growth time you'd save I think. I guess that doesn't answer your question

if I use hyper speed grow on ginger island its permanent. (as long as I immediately replant)

and I'm growing rare seeds on there just as a project for the sake of being a project

There are about 640 plantable spots on Ginger Island. If you follow the Farming path from Tiller to Agriculturist and use Hyper Speed-Gro, you can turn over Starfruit in 7 days! Feed them to Seed Makers until you get 640 more and make Wine with the rest after you replant.

yeah, 1.) thats not an answer to my question. and 2. part of the issue with ancient fruit was I was growing tired of kegs. and have about 30 million in the bank.

I went and converted my field to rare seeds.... takes about a year, haven't seen a dime of profit cuz its all going back into seeds.

but I'm doing it.

I just wonder why you don't want to use iridium sprinkler?

whut? I got iridium sprinklers with expanded range covering 7x7 squares.

not that this was brought up anywheres. Main reason to not use iridium sprinklers is battery packs can be limiting but they added solar panels so I can get as many battery packs as I need.
