Can I cheat the System for growing my beats and Potatos

[Owl]

Can I grow these things indoors so that the seagulls cant get them? or do they need sun

[Deagle Trainee]

I don't think they need sun. I previously had my crops indoors. But after an update way back, I started having issues of the seagulls flying through my walls to get to my crops. So you may still potentially have that problem.

[Weaver]

You can grow inside, however seagulls can also fly right through walls, so it won't do you any good.
I personally grow my crops next to my steering so I can easily turn around and smack around seagulls the second they go after a scarecrow.

[Buzzard]

I tend to do similar to Weaver, but add bird nests 'WAY OVER THERE', away from the crops.
Also, you can pick up a damaged scarecrow and place it back down for free repairs.

well just go to the raft mod webside download the raft mod loader and install some mods
some are really good

[shell_400]

the best thing to do is put a roof over them with bird nests on top they will use the first thing they land on so i recomend a cheker patern on top

[umop-apisdn]

Build a scarecrow (in the food section of the build menu).

Face the scarecrow away from wherever you tend to stand while waiting for things to occur; the gulls like to attack the back of the head.
Place a shoe full of dirt at the front of the base of the scarecrow.
(Acquire the shoe via fishing.)
Grow a potato in the shoe. (Beets work, too.)

When you hear the gull going berserk on the scarecrow, turn around and stab the bird with a metal spear, one-shotting it.
Hold E on the corpse to pick up a half-dozen feathers and 2 drumsticks.
Harvest the potato.
Replant one potato in the shoe.
Water the potato, and have a cup or two yourself.
Cook the drumsticks and the other potato on a grill.
Nom the tasty food.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Note: the scarecrow becomes damaged over time; when it has no arms and no head, the gulls will no longer attack it.

I have a room in the middle of my raft for growing plants, and beehives. My flowers have lived for easily 100+ game days and never once have I had to deal with seagulls attacking them. Same thing with my plants, seagulls simply can't get to them.

[Oragepoilu]

Shell is correct, you can trick the seagull AI into using the nest instead of attacking the plant by roofing the plant and adding nest on the roof.
This way you don't have to bother dealing with them or having further cost with the scarecrow.

Yes they can.

So....I guess the 100+ in game days are just a complete fluke and any second now they will suddenly be able to get at my plants??

They ignore walls genius. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Go put more salt water in your sprinklers kid lol. Coward.

Can we like...not

Ok, well, not quite sure what you are so upset about. I have hundreds of hours into this game and I have designed a plant room on my raft that is simply immune to seagulls. Just because you don't know how do it doesn't mean it can't be done. I've done it. I haven't lost a single plant to a seagull in hundreds of game days.

Seagulls CAN go through walls...but they don't go through two. I'll just leave that with you.

yes they can.
ive had 7-8 full playthroughs with zero seagull attacks because i did just as you did,....i built a little room inside a room and thought i had it all figured out.
then i started another game and the damn birds get in this time.
i do think its RNG if it works or not and we just got lucky.
