It was discussed in the previous Q/A, about decorating our lake at the back of our ranch, and how a handful ( 2-5 ) players have been able to bypass a way to place stuff on the water, and yes they have told other players how to, but that seems too, difficult, so i have a solution....allow everyone to decorate their lakes, but allow certain items on there, so i asked a few players today 3/5/2022- 2/5/2022 what items they would like to put on their lake...........here's what was suggested

- Shipwreck - we got this in the recent Anniversary event - suggested by
Bartimaeus
- the 3-part serpent/dragon statue - suggested by Bartimaeus
- Canoes - suggested by Aromat
- Huge Log - we got this from the lost woods event ? - suggested by
Sunflower
- some of our Aquatic pets - alligator, dolphin ( which could jump out of
water once placed), sea monster and maybe turtles, this will also pend
on what is planned for the ZOO, incase it is already being done

NEW STUFF- we could put on our lakes

- Lilypads
- Water lillies
- Small island to put stuff on like the one in commons pond but a bit bigger

happy to hear folks thoughts

a roving gypsy band (2 NPCs) with stuff to buy and trade with prices on items could be cheaper but you might get taken to the cleaners on some items but it would be worth it. They could come by when ever 5416593 you liked nick (mocha helped me type)they could come on AI or the commons your choice

Hello Nick!

Previous post I have asked about not researchable plants.
Here are the ones I can't research:
1. Mutated ones from Sanctuary Village - they are not $-bought ones, they are like like flux ones :)
2. Pumpkins
3. Radishes
4. Carrots
5. Wheat
6. Corn
7. Honeydew
8. Passion fruit
9. Blueberries
10. Grapes
11. Watermelon
12. Strawberries

I'd say it's quite a lot of the omitted plants... :D

As for the number of plots... Well I sometimes could use more of them - especially when a daily quest with some "special" plants comes up.
I usually try to seed like this:
1. 4 gold plants with growth time of 8-24h
2. 4 energy plants with growth time of 8-24h
3. 6 long-term plants (growth time of 2+ days)
4. that leaves me with 6 plots for short-term and quest plants.

Even 2 more plots would allow me to better optimize the research schedule :D

Hi Nick,

1)I like the idea of the toggle Off/On button for the Quest Whacks Buff, but it doesn't work.Could you look into that please?

2)I have the lock feature on the Statue in the Commons. Is there a way you could add a toggle On/Off switch to unlock the statue? Or a toggle to keep Nate from coming around at all?

3) I love Russel Denton's suggestion to put a surface on the water behind our ranch house. All the items suggested are great ideas. That ship is huge and would look so much better on water than on land.
I'd also like to add another idea for water items if it hasn't already been mentioned: I would like to see all pool toys, floaties, and maybe even a beach chair, etc.

@Bushmasta - All the crops you mentioned can be researched. Here is the wiki link for reference: https://bushwhacker2.fandom.com/wiki/Plant_Splicing_Station

However, you have to plant and harvest crops at least one time for them to show up in the Plant Splicer research list.

*Rare seeds, like Magic Beans, or Mushrooms cannot be researched.
*As of April 2, 2021, Super Blueberry, Mutated Berry, and Mutated Pepper crops can be researched at the plant splicer table
*Flux Flax Seeds can be researched

Thx.
I'll test it but I know, I've planted Mutated ones before...

Kudos on making the flungeon harder to progress through. If there was ever a place where we could use two extra trinket slots this would be it ! Perhaps there could be an extra set of two trinket slots for the flungeon only? This might coax more players there!

@Russell..Placing items on water is not that hard,, all it takes is practice,, patience and persistence...If I can a do it so can all of you..just keep at it..Been doing it for yrs now..Sometimes it takes me a bit of time still but I keep at it..Just remember all the steps in doing so !!!

We could follow up the Cadillacs with a trio of bugs: one with flower power stickers, one like Herbie the luv bug and one just a regular royal blue. Just a thought--- you could do a red and white V.W. Bus just for kicks and giggles. Groovy, baby.

Could we have a separate tab for eggs like we do for trinkets and feed? Over the years I have collected a number of eggs and it sometimes hard to locate a specific egg amongst all the other objects. Thanks!

It's looking like Generation 15 will be closer to July, based on our content schedule and resources.

Thanks for passing along the suggestions, Russel. I've already got it in my suggestions document to look into allowing the water/pool ranch items and critters onto the lake. I certainly agree this would be preferable to using the current method!

Thanks Mocha :) What kind of items are you imagining this roving band would sell?

Flybaby is correct, Bushmasta. Please try growing and harvesting those crops again, and see if they show up in the plant splicer. If they don't, please submit a support ticket so I can take a closer look.

I'll consider adding more farm plots. It does have balancing concerns that I'll have to run some numbers on, however, as I mentioned in past replies to this suggestion.
