Yes you need a green thorn to get the 5th nestSo to get the white and black Bald Cypress and Hedges I see on your roof, you get the seeds from the Naturalist Quest? Is this the last batch of seeds, where you root around in the sand or something... it's been a while since I've done that quest.
Is it a random thing or do the seeds always yield white/black plants?
Safe Travels, Sam
The classic white plants are from seed gathered after pub 57. I'm very worried, I had not got a single "new" white or black plant after pub 57.So, are these plants sprouting from seeds gathered after publish 57? Thanks in advance
Me too, I only got one white cypress, had not got a mossy one yet and fear I won't get one before we get a fix for this new bug.Hmm. I am kinda excited about this simply because I'm lazy about crossing. Still, I was REALLY hoping to get a white mossy cypress for winter since it looks like icicles hanging from the tree.
That is funny. She IS sneaky, so maybe we should keep a closer on her.I can't believe Sakkarah make so many bugs, I start to believe she is teasing or testing how we react at possible changes.
I can't believe it either. I'm starting to realize I either really suck at this or just try to bite more than I can chew.I can't believe Sakkarah make so many bugs, I start to believe she is teasing or testing how we react at possible changes.
Because Moderators cannot respond to this issue, only Devs can. And we have all gone home for the Holidays and are therefore not expected to look at these forums nor respond until said holidays are over. Just some of us (raises hand) are junkies and still do. But as we also do not have access to the code while on vacation, we cannot (and frankly should not) be testing the apparent bugs until we're back to work on January 5th.Why hasn't one of the moderators responded to this post to let us know what the story is and when they are going to fix this?
WOOT! Freebies!*ties a really big pillow to her shoulder*
Free one Sak
Kind of a moot question. Knowing what speedhacking packrats you gardeners are, you will all have a billion of the types of plants you shoudn't normally get if not for the bug by the time the fix is in. And then you will manage to find another one of my screw ups and milk the heck out of it too!...so, until at least Jan 5th, we can stock up on all the plants that we otherwise could only have gotten as mutant X's? *grins*
*sighs* But... but I am selling my castle! And moving into an 18 x 18! AND having to downsize by approx a thousand items to do so!Kind of a moot question.

*stealthily hides all traces of super hamster food*TBH, I'm starting to think one of you bribed the hamsters under my desk to mess with the code when I'm AFK or home sleeping. Whatever happened to respecting the "Do not feed the animals" sign?
In truth, I don't personally mind white and black plants of the original (what I refer to as legacy) set being available through the naturalist's quest. But they were supposed to be rare, which would no longer be the case if I don't fix this. It also means you will have to do a lot more secret nest quests to get the white or black peculiar plant you might want since that will be twice as many plants to randomly pick a seed from.How about the proposed fix for the 5 hive run being White, Black and Fire Red seeds can come in any of the existing plants, Set One, Set Two and Bonsai (all styles)?
Why do I have a strong feeling this is going to cost me in the not so distant future?We still love you.

I was going to ask questions about the bugs but then slapped myself into remembering I'm supposed to resting so I won't! But I will be bombarding you guys with some clarifications about the current issues once I'm back from vacation. You guys might want to take the next few days to discuss among yourselves how you want the black and white handled. IMHO, we should keep the legacy out of Naturalist's quest black & white just because they should be a reward for crossing plants. But I'm not against leaving it them in the quest either. Think it over and post your opinions!
Vacation? Wtf are you doing checking in? Get outta here, girl! *points to the door* We appreciate the answers but we all need time off. Git yerself some rest.once I'm back from vacation.
I agree with this. Plus there is already a system for obtaining the legacy plants in black and white.My vote is for peculiars only. Legacy was fine from cross-pollination. I don't want to have to run the 5 nest quest 20 times to get one new plant.
All very good points, Freja. The fire red flowering cactus could simply be considered a bonus to nest 4 if the fire red seeds were moved to it. I agree it doesn't seem to fit now with black and white added to nest 5. Plus, the fire red's aren't considered special anymore and don't really have any additional value over the magenta, aqua and pink plants.My vote is for both legacy and peculiars in black and white.
Move the fire red to the 4 nest group, it really starting to get annoying to get a fire red when you want a black or a white.
The 4 nest group will then have 4 colors, but only legacy seed, the 5 nest will only have 2 colors but both legacy and peculiars seed.
It do not make sense to have the fire red in the 5 nest group, when it won't give peculairs seed.
Thanks alot Sak, for a good UO year and the great work and Happy New Year to you and your colleagues

What they said. ^Have to disagree with you Freja and DHMagicMan for 2 reasons.
1. Lets suppose we've just had a bug where Aqua, Magenta, Pink and Fire Red plants were giving seeds and we all have a lifetimes supply of seeds in these colours now. Whats that? We already have? Ok. So lets get rid of the Fire Red seeds from the 5th solen nest quest, that we no longer want, and put them with the other 3 colours we no longer want.
2. When the new plants were added there were a few posts about why there was no cross pollination with them. And now you'd like to take away the best part of crossing the legacy plants?
Anyone can run the solen 5 nest quest a few times and get a few seeds growing in their backpack but it takes a dedicated gardener to spend time growing 100+ various seeds to cross pollinate.
My personal opinion (and I realize this is not shared by all) is that there is already way too much neon in the game. I'd hate to see more added. The black/white are about as far as I like to go.
- With regard to availability of Fire Seeds, which are currently available in "Legacy" and "Four Barrel Only", I'd like to see this color expanded to include Legacy, Peculuar and Fragrant so basically all "Legacy" and "New" available in "Fire" color. If they continue to be available as a 5th hive (where they are)
In the scheme of things, I think allowing Fire seeds for all the plants wouldn't be that much of a "Net Add" of neon... it's not changing the proportions... which would stay at 1/3 Black, 1/3 White and 1/3 Fire... I just don't see a big deal about allowing only one of the new plants to come in "Fire" color instead of allowing them all...My personal opinion (and I realize this is not shared by all) is that there is already way too much neon in the game.

I see your point. I guess I just keep cringing at visions of groves of burning cypresses.In the scheme of things, I think allowing Fire seeds for all the plants wouldn't be that much of a "Net Add" of neon... it's not changing the proportions... which would stay at 1/3 Black, 1/3 White and 1/3 Fire...

If we were talking about adding Pink, Aqua and Magenta I'd accept your position more readily.
I realize I'm a day late and a dollar short. But when my black seed popped this morning and was a Snake Plant I had to see what was going on. I haven't been gardening as much due to holiday madness. But that was unexpected.All very good points, Freja. The fire red flowering cactus could simply be considered a bonus to nest 4 if the fire red seeds were moved to it.

Don't run Naturalist trying to get White Peculuars until the next publish... all the white seeds are Legacy at the moment (it appears anyway).Fix the quest so that only peculiar plants come from the 5th nest
I'm trying to get white hedges and your coding mistake screwed me bigtime
And I don't want to have the legacy plants on the list or I'll be running that quest for the next 5 years just to get my hedges (which is teh suck)
