New Tree Suggestion: Mushroom Tree

Currently, Dark Patches in glitch are only useful for housing one type of tree: the Egg Plant. This makes the inclusion of a separate type of patch almost a waste, having it only exist for one tree type in the entire game. To mix it up a bit, I suggest a new dark patch specific tree, the Mushroom Tree.

Harvesting a Mushroom Tree, as the name implies, would provide 3, 6, or 12 mushrooms (depending on Gardening skill level) with the appropriate super harvest bonuses. This would remove the dependance on vendors for receiving mushrooms, while adding more variety to the game and making dark patches even more useful.

  • Sounds like a great idea to me.

  • I like it! It is weird only having one type of tree for dark patches...

    what do mushrooms do then?

  • +1 Great idea.  We also need more uses for mushrooms -- I would love to see some potions and tinctures that use them!!

  • I agree Clarabelle, currently mushrooms are used in some lower level cooking recipes. Be nice to see them in more prominent crafts as well.

    Cooking in general needs a rebalancing anyways, as everyone just gravitates towards Awesome Stew and ignores every other recipe in the game outside of the drinks and cocktails...

  • I agree completely Lorraine. Either add new foods with higher energy points or readjust the ones we have.

  • Eh, a large subset of the level 60's have gravitated toward pasta as an alternative to awesome stew :) Since the beans provide a pretty significant bottleneck to the industrial chef, pasta has become a nice alternative with a good ratio of money in to money out. Our resident nutjob Lx has already made 3 million currants making pasta :)

    Now, on the topic of mushroom trees :P I love the idea, but it just won't be worth it unless they increase the mushroom stack size :P I don't see why they wouldn't, though. All the tree harvests stack to 250, so it would make sense to put mushrooms at 250 as well. Also, I'm for more uses of mushrooms as well :) Perhaps mushroom patches that are so plentiful in Ur could also be harvested in some way?

  • I love the idea...
    Plant a mushroom tree seed...As it grows...it looks like an over-sized mushroom...Option to shake the mushroom tree to harvest.

  • Great idea.  Should be easy for animals to munch on too and offers new perch potential for chickens.

  • +1 - more opportunities for glitches to find a market niche.

  • What if you could add, say, a shelf fungus to an existing tree, and harvest that for mushrooms?
    No reason everything has to be it's own tree.
    Moreover, if we're GOING to have a mushroom tree (or shelf fungus), there ought to be more uses for mushrooms.
    Not just in recipes, but perhaps alchemy, tincturing, or new drug-types.

  • Mushrooms are quite springy, maybe we could bounce off them...

  • I think that mushrooms grow on wood - to grow mushrooms, you should have to grow a wood tree to full health in a dark patch; then you should be able to plant mushroom seeds on it.

  • +1, since vendors are being phased out, we need another way of getting mushrooms!
    Posted 10 months ago by Abby Cadabra Subscriber! | Permalink
  • mushrooms also grow on poo and corpses...

  • +1 for mushroom tree;
    +1 also to using mushrooms for potions/alchemy/tincturing

  • Sun Exploder, are you suggesting we'd need to apply guano to a tombstone to produce mushrooms? Because that's just bizarre and slightly dark enough to be something TS might actually implement. You get all of my +'es.

  • It might be interesting if mushrooms occasionally killed you.   Not very often, but still...

  • NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    Remove mushrooms from game please! They're horrible! They're not meant to be eaten! Yuck!!!
