FARMER with Cursed Gardens give INFINITE Harvesting Growth | Brotato Abyssal Terrors

[@DexTag]

It was brought to my attention that I had way more Gardens than I should have. Edit: According to a bug report, this happens also with turrets and is apparently a known bug upon combining weapons like Wrenches and I guess Pruners. "Rytingur - Today at 11:17 someone in bug reports said they kept a blue turret after combining 2 blue wrenches and having no other items that'd give him one, so something fishy is going on "

I feel like many people read the item text of the snake differently. Because to me it was always "If an enemy is set on fire while there's another close to it that one is on fire now too." So the cursed snake spreading it to two enemies makes perfect sense to me

[@Qlmmb2086]

My intuitive reaction was, "Of course it only spreads to 1 enemy; why else would you be allowed to get multiple copies of the item? (it's non-unique.)"

[@champiggyfrm_pig5271]

I thought multiple copies increased the spreading range

[@DexTag]

​@Qlmmb2086 i could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure the wording was different and it used to be applied in a range, like a small explosion. That's at least what I recall from a test seeing more than 1 extra enemy getting burned with 1 snake, so that was the only logical conclusion for me. As in if 1 snake gets more than 1 extra burned, then it has to be an area effect. And either that gets bigger or triggered multiple times then

[@jeandias1717]

​@@DexTag it might just be the case that the newly burned enemy from the snake proc also procs the snake, so it can spread one by one, and cursed snake makes each instance try to spread to two different targets in the range, making it more consistently cover an area or something

[@namelessbeast4868]

These mods are a game changer! Being able to see all those stats and the number of tardigrades really improves the viewing experience(having the chests displayed with a counter is also great). The mod that allow you to sell items feels like something that should be vanilla! Now you can buy good/unique items early on and sell them in the late game to try and get them cursed.

[@Ethan54006]

umm, that would be terrible. cost benefit analysis is a major part of the game, and to take that away is to take away the downsides to lots of items. or what about shackles, handcuffs etc, you could get rid of them at a whims notice.

[@DexTag]

I agree, I think they are a major improvement. Though selling items isn't good IMO. A big chunk of the game is to figure out what you need, what is enough to survive and sometimes you have to take something bad to be able to make it to 20, but this seriously cripples Endless then. Or sometimes it allows you to go from wave 10 to 15, else you would've died, but then the downside kicks in. I prefer this over just selling something again

[@derkiesel2426]

in addition to the thoughts voiced by the other answers, i feel like it would destroy the curse mechanic. You could just buy every item that you would like to have uncursed and once you have enough fishing hooks you can sell them one at a time and get them back cursed

[@Shadowassassinog]

[@Berryloss]

I think the reason the fruit lags isn't actually just explosion but the sound. A lot of games have bad sound optimization so they can lag horribly when some sounds get played too rapidly. It's a big problem in path of exile and a few other RPG's I've played. Since picking up a fruit gives you stats which plays a sound, makes a crunch sound on it's own, and also explodes which makes a sound I'd be unsurprised if that wasn't a major reason it lags there. If you could either stop the fruit from making sound or just delete some of those sounds it is possible that could make more of a difference especially on these ultra long fruit gobbler runs.

[@Ethan54006]

really? thats so interesting

[@viktorholm3386]

wouldnt that actually be moddable? like im pretty sure you could mod the game to reduce sounds or even remove them and not just mute but actually go into the code and remove the activation at all, if thats true what you say that might be a huge thing if it comes to lag optimisation and such a mod wouldnt be cheating since it just reduces lag

[@bahamutdragon1754]

The fruits also have individual collision boxes which are all interacting with each other. I think it’s just as bad as the audio lag, so a bit of a double whammy.

[@woobilicious.]

I suspect it's a data structure issue due to the way all the fruit are being stored, every time you pick one up it does a O(n) scan to find it and delete it.

[@jellomello2683]

oh, i was thinking its because everything get colected and calculated one by one at the end so a mod that tracks the fruits during the round and and then just adds a value at the end would make sense but this is also a good point.

[@pencilsnake]

You could try installing a mod that makes you always attract consumables regardless of current HP for the late endless waves. Either way, you're a legend at this game 🤘

[@czerstwy22]

Dex, maybe there are some mods that could change fruits behavior at the end? Like instant collect them, not attract for example? Or tbh, despawn everything on level ending without any animation? It would solve at least part of the problem with optimization

[@eduardomartins4535]

[@TheJAM_Sr]

The lag is coming from collisions. Fruit and trees collide and move positions to they don’t sit on top of eachother. The problem is when they settle and don’t check collisions. A new one spawns now it’s checking collisions with all the fruit below it.. so it just is a run away effect.

[@Ethan54006]

omg really? i didnt know this. that super interesting. they should definitly make it so fruits stack after a certain point so that lag is reduced

[@Fruktz]

yea, that sounds like the problem. At the end of the wave you could make everything skip collision detection and just add the stats since everything gets collected anyway. That would probably solve the end part.

[@TheJAM_Sr]

Making them stack sounds like a good route, except the way items works would make it so you’re getting less triggers, or you’re getting 10 explosions off 1 fruit in the same exact spot. They prob thought of this. I think the best route would be to have the fruit farm just shoot out fruit in a random direction and distance without the small collision detection it has. I really don’t know if it turns off but you can see it’s positioning when there are less fruits. Same goes for turrets where if they spawn too close they push eachother a little bit away. I have a few years of programming and game design, I’m sure they’ll address this in some way, as I don’t think it was entirely accounted for in the beginning that you would be able to create 20,000 fruits a wave 😂

[@Ethan54006]

[@oFlax87]

Hello! Long-time viewer here! I’ve been thinking about the fishing hooks. Are you sure they add the percentages in that way? Because some games give each item a certain percentage to modify the weapon separately, not together. Brotato have had some weird interactions before :P

[@Ethan54006]

for your build up tardgrade thing, ive thought of it aswell, but so have the developers. so in endless, the i-frames start decreasing, until eventually they are non existant, and you literally die the second you get touched

[@epicmanwhochokeschicken3597]

Just did a similar run and got your weapon! I unfortunately suck and only got to wave 39 but it was a fun run!

[@UndeadHermit]

I think there needs to be a mod that disables loading the sound a fruit makes when getting them. That might help with the lag.

[@smeesmirgol8377]

damage numbers? get bloody hand so you constantly collect all fruits?

[@1TieDye1]

Late game everything one shots you, so bloody hand would eat through all tardigrades and then he would be vulnerable to getting one shot

[@Zilican]

I wonder if there's a mod to auto pick up fruits within your pickup range? I know its "gameplay altering", but would still be interesting to see a run with it. More modded runs would also be interesting, like perfect luck on curses, buy any items from shop etc to make the "perfect" build, idk what mods are available, but just throwing ideas out :D

[@woobilicious.]

Doesn't the particle accelerator scale better due to all the engineering stats you have, and it not bouncing? That should solve the lag as you should have about 1/3 or even less projectiles on screen.

[@andrewt9204]

That would actually be a good change. Like maybe after ~100 fruits on the ground. Each big one would have to calculate as individuals when picked up.

[@Hellbear88]

What about a mod that converts fruits/etc into stack before becomeing consumed but counted as normal when comsumed? lag fix?

[@rulesOfChaos_]

With the Retromation Hoodie, you could tank your dodge stat for a while, so that the axolotl will target it and you can eventually swap your harvesting over to it. You wouldn't want to tank your attack speed untill you find the axolotl, but that would be a loop hole for the axolotl to still (indirectly) boost the attack speed

[@1TieDye1]

That’s a good idea. And that would result in even more attack speed than a direct swap

[@kcant65]

If I was playing on PC using the selling mod to get rid of lag later on in an endless run would be the only reason I would use it like in this video. I think it would really take a lot of the fun out of the game if you sold items all the time, you could break so many things. Especially with the curse mechanic in the DLC. A lot of strategy would just be gone.

47:38, yes you can but that number is too high. Its like around 3600 tardigrades. You eventually lose all your s but because game works on 60 fps you can get hit only 60 times per second for 60 seconds. Not my idea, I read it discord or reddit so maybe its wrong.

[@pandorairq]

There is a setting called "optimize end of waves" which you can turn on in the settings, which reduced the lag when like 200 fruits get collected (I think they don't get sucked in anymore, but just disappear and get collected directly)

[@DexTag]

The setting is turned on and it helped a lot, but here it was around 2500 Fruits

[@muhammadridha4661]

hi, i really like this build as i learn from this video. but I have a question: for example, in the video at the 5:15 mark, I noticed that when your pruner is combined and reaches level 2, it shows "create fruit every 11.7 seconds." Shouldn't a level 2 pruner create fruit every 14 seconds? I observed in your video that every upgraded pruner produces fruit faster than what I experience in my own gameplay, or even what I've read in brotato wiki. Has this been updated, or is there something I might have missed?

[@DexTag]

Structure Attack Speed increases the production of structures. Or well, here, for Turrets they shoot faster. I can't check it out right now but I'll assume I had 2-3 Clockwork Wasps, each giving 10%

[@Dungnguyen-yd5or]

after wave 20 the Harvesting will give xp material then it will lose 20% then the fruit you picked up after wave is applied, so it is better to leave it on the ground. Also isn't axolot named as unique? You can't get it to increase ranged dmg after you have already transfer it into life steal. 31:42

[@jeremyhicks4517]

In my experience doing a similar build. I pick up a blood donation to deal damage to myself. That will pick up all the fruits around you based on your pick up range. Just scale your HP and explosion stats for increased damage for your spicy sauce. All you have to do is dodge projectiles, and you will nuke everything before it touches you. You could make it more extreme purposely not having armor as your lowest stat, and switch harvesting with armor for more safety since you won't have tardigrade stacks. I also never pick up Pocket Factory, or whatever the item is called that creates turrets on tree kills on endless runs. Too much lag. You can just use spicy sauce and the elephants late game to kill everything if you go for a build like this.

[@bardiasadrzadeh3844]

[@mozvi1436]

Probably the best way to deal with the fruit lag would be to install a mod that removes the attraction visual effect, if such a mod exists. The lag comes from so many entities having to move at the same time. If you remove the movements, it should cut the lag significantly. If the mod doesn't already exist, someone should create it :)

[@-yttrium-1187]

Amazing run and I suggest you keep the mod that allows you to recycle/banish items to use after wave 20 for lag reduction. As I suspected, but never confirmed, the visuals aren't contributing to the tick lag as draw calls are usually seperate from tick updates. Other Items that could cause lag might be things like baby with a beard or elephants that have effects on death or chance to chain kills since I suspect each item has its own %roll every tick. The lag ruins viewing experience and things like the pocket factory are important to reduce roll-fatigue while making the post 20 almost unwatchable due to video compression limitations. Removing the visual effects is a good solution but the downside is that we dont get to see the visual effects. getting to wave 50 would be alot more pleasant if you could remove limited items (or lagardens ) from your item pool after taking them. Its your game to play.

[@jamesburt1570]

What if you got a cursed crown? Does it srill work after wave 20?

[@Immusama]

How long did the run actually take?

[@barongerhardt]

XP gain works by reducing the XP needed per level. So it works with harvesting.

[@DexTag]

I don't think that's how it works unless it's in a non-visible way with the mod that shows the XP requirement, since when I showed how much we gained in level ups (going from 2 to 7 thanks to Harvesting), Harvesting was only at 12k and we needed like 80k or so just for a single level up. And I just tested this with Creature, on Level 1 you require 16 XP and after 2 waves and -10% XP Gain, it still requires 16 XP to level up. The one after that needs 25. I chose a different char to reach lvl 1 right away on wave 1 and it also requires 25.

I kind of want the hook to change. Instead of waiting for a random chance from one shop to another I much rather would like it to happen on rerolls.
