Proposed new rule: Plant X and turrets inside base only.

Well it has not happened to me yet, I've had a couple dinos I wanted to or was taming come crazy close to plant X range, after putting them on Generic Queztal and seeing how quickly that can cause massive issues I can only imagine how many people they can screw over, a risk even if I make sure to turn mine off after a battle/tame, when not around to turn them off people don't have that same protection that come nearby, I would've been sad if that beaver had run a few more steps

then why didn't you vote

Would be better if you could have an option where you can change the X-plant to neutral, like on dino's.
It only become's acive, if something in your base, or your base gets attacked.

I would like to hear from players that deal with Giganot's on this rule, anyone get hit by them enough to say if this rule will impact those bases?

you would need ~100 plant x's to kill a giganto. otherwise it's just going to piss it off and it will wreck your wall trying to get to the plant.

Hi guys, first time on the forums. and I agree with this rule. I had the same experience with several beaver taming where they got killed before getting knocked out.

There's definitely a trade-off, but with the nerf to plant-X damage, you're not killing an alpha with one anyway. If you build the walls high enough, they won't line of sight your dinos and won't aggro, where with a plant x hitting them, they can and will attack and possibly damage your walls trying to get to the plant no?

The plant x has a knock back effect on anything it hits plus it dazes them making their movement slow so there's no chance of them attacking your fences. They will eventually die if they are persistent enough to pursue your fences. I managed to kill an alpha rex lvl 100 using 14 plant x so yeah, it is possible to kill alphas with it. I haven't tried with gigas yet for obvious reasons.

I've said it before, but i'll repeat it here. I do agree with moving them so that they aren't arbitrarily killing rarer spawns such as beavers, however, at least in my case, I have one on the wall on the coastline which has cut my dolphin deaths down to 0. I don't want to lose that.

Rather than a flat rule, I would propose a case by case basis of assessment if a problem plant appears. Also an advisory to people on how many plant x's are sensible. Obviously a full wall lined with them is going to cause a lot of issues. If someone's plant isn't causing an issue, then they shouldn't have to remove it. I understand this might seem like more work, but actually, patrolling every base to make sure their plants are within the base is gonna be a lot more work than inspecting one or two problem bases.

Just my thoughts.

I didn't really have any strong opinions one way or the other with this until today. Finally found a 120 female Ptera in the wild and almost had it killed outside of Flower Power's base in which there were like 7-8 plant x's going to town on it. Took a screenshot to show the ridiculousness of 5 of them being outside of their gate along a ridge.

locking the vote/topic. Pretty overwhelming vote. as stated in game the rule will be implemented in two weeks. This rule was talked about when the server first started and we decided against implementing it despite agreeing in principal. The sheer number of complaints coming in has changed that. Thank you to all for following, even if you don't agree. It should make things just a little more safe for taming.

If your tame falls inside a base who has plant x, there's nothing we can do about that. someone's going to lose a 120 quetz to this at some point, but it's just luck of the fall at that point.
