    Feedback:
    you should REALLYYYY nerf the spear. i think it should be 30-40 damage tops. 60 is overboard 100%.

    OMG I need to be flogged, drawn and quartered. The issue is with another mod LootRespawnControl, which in theory works well with this one. I wanted to be forced to grow my own plants for healing, so I turned that on such that I could only collect aloe in the wild once. Well, when I tell it not to respawn aloe in the wild, this is the result. Sorry, it's not this mod with the problem.

  5. SasSquash

    Okay, sorry for flip-flopping but it's a real bug. I plant aloe during spring... It looks like it's growing fine, but at the very moment it's fully mature exactly 24 hours after planting the seed, the plant disappears and it can't be harvested. The reason I retracted my previous report is those were different plants. This seems to be specific to aloe. Yarrow works fine.

  6. SasSquash

    Disregard the bug report. The plants which I could harvest were ONLY the ones where the planters were "inland enough" and all others disappeared immediately at the 24 hour mark. Still, plants shouldn't grow in the first place if they can't be harvested later. (Or grow brown and withered like where it's cold.) That part may be a glitch in the game itself.

  7. SasSquash

    Found a bug Plants "disappear" moments after they're mature enough to harvest. I planted 7 aloe plants and checked the time I sowed seeds. After exactly "24 hours" as soon as the green pacman showed up, but I was only fast enough to harvest 2 plants out of 7. I'm planting aloe on a platform just offshore.
