Impossible to grow tobacco?

[Sparky]

Every time it produces a pod, the pot falls to the ground and breaks. Is this intended? Should I just throw out the tobacco plants?

It's not impossible, but I'm not certain what's happening. According to Wiki, buds are yielded only 70% of the time, so maybe it's just that.

Tobacco is pretty much the only thing worth growing IMO.

Just wait until you grow pomegrenades or raptorbane. Those pop more easily than tobacco (unless they changed it).

Salt bulbs are quite resistant to drops though.

I've been getting all 3 of those really easily. It's just the tobacco that's exploding.

Place your planter so that the plant grows over a platform, then the bulbs will have less distance to fall. A lot will still probably splat but some should survive.

Raptorbane is propably the best thing i grow, being able to totally negate a mudraptor breaching the sub with a single shot is a godsent

Handcannon produces faster results. :p

We have been having a syringe gun loaded with raptor bane for like... I don't even know honestly, we've been sailing the Great Sea back and forth hunting for Abyss monsters. Mudraptors won't get in our vanilla-like sub, syringe gun is inadvisable in outposts (where raptors are found about 1/8 or 1/9 of the time). That'd only leave the nest missions, but even those are often crawlers or especially threshers.

Could be useful during the early game I guess, you choose your own priorities.

Handcannon might be faster, but raptorbane has much lower friendly-fire risks, and even one hit will be fatal for a mudraptor, no matter where you hit.

But ye, the fact that it only works against mudraptors makes it quite niche. Still potentially worth it if you have a spare inventory-slot.

Salt is tasty and plentiful, but explosives also require phosphorus... For us, it's the material we are most often running short on at later stages of the campaign.

I've always had unreal amounts of phosphorus in long term campaigns because they reliably grow on mudraptors
