LUREPLANT BEST USES | Don't Starve Together Guide

[@JazzysGames]

I'm probably jinxing it, but taking the time to express to the first 1,000 viewers my appreciation to all of you for not hitting dislike in spite of the first ten seconds. Also, I should mention that in order to get the houndius shooting at FW you should smack him once before teleporting away. Either that or lob a boomerang after teleporting to fire up the shootius.

[@janehuskmann1914]

I'd rather just use up those tools before switching to a new tool, preferably one made of gold.

[@JazzysGames]

That's cool too. Personally I usually find myself drowning in flint so I don't shed any tears over half-used flint tools.

[@janehuskmann1914]

@@JazzysGames Yeah, but other players could use those flints so they can get started. Also, it's nice to see that you're still active in your videos' comments sections.

[@courierz9451]

@@janehuskmann1914 I use the flint for rocklobsters. It's kind of best value for them. If in public server, new users only need like maybe 4. 2 axs and 1 pickaxe (to have more)

[@JazzysGames]

By the way, flint does regenerate around the portal, so a new player can always hang by the portal for a couple of minutes to grab two flint for a pickaxe, then go get more from a petrified forest or meteor field.

[@ThePe5e]

Two other uses: - Lureplants are very useful for clearing out bee bioms since they eat bees in one gulp - Lureplants can be used to charge up Obsidian items since it can be killed over and over again (single player only)

[@JazzysGames]

Ooh yeah, clearing beehives. Nice. Did you see Skye's video on bringing a damaged took to the volcano and using lureplants to break obsidian boulders? kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5OpZpKFYsiknas

[@ThePe5e]

@@JazzysGames Yes I am subscribed to him :) It is a possibility to make repairing clockworks more useful but I still prefer Weather Pains for collecting Obsidian as it is much faster. It does cost some green gems though, so this methode is still worth it early on when resources are a concern.

[@MaquinaRara1]

There is another use. Since the bulb is an entity and not a structure, it can block mobs that destroy things, like Bearger. This means You can trap him in a corner of the map or fully enclosure him in lureplants bulbs, just be careful with the turf choice, the eyes can agro the prisioner and he may kill the plants. In normal settings You can only have one instance of Bearger at the same time, and since he wasnt killed, You can now enjoy your falls even more. And have a new pet for your collection

[@JazzysGames]

That's good! I'd imagine you wouldn't want him to aggro on you or anything because he could easily kill the bulbs.

Thanks for the video. I wanted to point out that as a Webber main Ive noticed that the Eye Plants do not spawn in on the webbed terrain around spider dens and have exploited that fact in my bases for a consistent source of meat which as webber 2 pieces of meat can mean 20 if used properly and is insanely valuable imo.

[@angelobasile521]

In RoG, plant a lureplant not far from some punds. In the morning, wait fro frog to spawn, then go, hit one frog and run in the eyeball. Let the eyeballs take care of the frog and let the eat the frogleg. When the frog are cleared, kill the lureplant and take your frogleg. You can make 30 froglegs in one morning and have food for many many days. Couple this with a birdcage to get some eggs, and you have a infinite supply of meatballs o bacon & egg if you have some monster meat.

When I was a smol bean at don't starve, (playing base game) I'm pretty sure one of these spawned right in my camp.

There is one extra use. It requires the fuel Weaver lantern. Because the ancient fuel Weaver.

They're good guards, the fire hounds will light em up but the bulbs will survive, and the flames will hurt all the other hounds, if they're not already dead. Hounds move so quickly, they tend to be in between a few eyeplants before re-targeting.

[@ramstab]

I just had an idea, lureplants are the most prone to burn in summer so we can set some up near our base and in the range of a flingo maybe on a boat, but this is just for bases that are not summer proof already

Lure plants can be planted in cobwebs, mainly if you're using webber. The Lure plant will give you meat all the time without those cannibal eyes surrounding it

[@justthejackoalltrades]

Another use has Wickerbottom: You can cast birds of the world while right next to a lureplant which will call down the birds on to the eyeplants, which will eat all the birds. And of course, killing the lureplant will drop all the drops of the birds, so easy morsels and feathers for blow darts.

Another good use of a lureplant is beefalo domestication (if you're going for the fighting tendency). Keep smacking that lure plant!

[@grantvandervalk5872]

The mod character I designed, Wanda the Druidess, spawns with a meat bulb in her inventory, and she has the ability to dry leafy meat on a drying rack (which she or others can take off once its done). She can also harvest the leafy or other meat lure from the lureplant without the eyeplants retracting, and the eyeplants will not attack her so its a great place for her to retreat to if she's under-prepared for a hound wave or something. I was going to modify the main lureplant so she could access it like a chest, but I thought that would be a little OP for farming, especially with a Wickerbottom friend helping with yield (it was hard to code as well). At a Shadow Manipulator, she can craft a scroll that lets her summon a new lureplant as well

The part about the stonefruit trees is incorrect, my base has nothing but sprout-planted trees and they too require fertilizer after a while. Not as often as a transplanted one, perhaps, but they still have to be fertilized eventually.

[@JazzysGames]

Interesting. I've never experienced this and in the code these are identical to naturally spawned bushes which do not require fert. Just tested this and I was able to chain 20+ harvests from a sprouted bush without needing to fertilize. I can't remember if they wither during Summer but is it possible that's what's happening to yours?

The catapults probably kill the lureplants

[@gawnwiththewind8060]

I think most of those require a lot of tedious placement and in most scenarios the player can handle the issue/task without the use of a lureplant. I think the only uses for a lureplant I would even consider using is for a trash can (without all of the tedious placement of tiles) and to deal with the fuelweaver. Surprised you didn't mention how you can clear bee biomes with them though. *That* is practical.

[@JazzysGames]

Considering the work that these uses replace, I'd be curious to hear exactly which scenarios you'd consider tedious. Food source: You place the bulbs on sandy turf or boat then harvest for free food. More tedious than other food gathering methods? Defense: Place the bulb, it protects you. Perhaps less effective than crafting and placing tooth traps, but more tedious? Summer-Proof: Place a flingo, place four lureplants. More tedious than crafting and maintaining five flingos to protect the same size area? Crop Farming: Plant the crops once and never need to pick them by hand ever again. More tedious than planting and picking manually? Reed Trap: More tedious than picking all those reeds by hand? I don't know. To me all these methods help to drastically cut the amount of work that's typically required by a player under normal circumstances. The bee clearing is a good mention though.

[@gawnwiththewind8060]

@@JazzysGames I typically play with the same few people and with all four of us we can do a majority of these tasks ourselves. We never have a Wickerbottom because we all find the DST experience better with different characters, which makes mass farming with AH not really an option. We're able to manage without a Wicker and the methods that require her and I'm in no way trying to make it seem like this isn't viable, I'm merely stating it's not really necessary. The ones that I consider to be a bit more tedious are the ones that require you to place turf around them to stop eyeplants from growing and the ones that require you to move resources. Like the trash for example, unless you are near a desert and can conveniently slap a lure plant down on a piece of grass turf then you'll have to go out of your way to retrieve/create turf to surround a lure plant. I can just as easily drop my almost broken tools in the ocean or somewhere nowhere near my base. As for the grass, it's less convenient for me to go harvest 40 grass tufts and place them in an area where eyeplants can do the work for me when I could easily just take a walk through a savanna and pick the resources myself. It becomes inconvenient when half the grass tufts I moved get up as grass geckos and get killed by the eyeplants, essentially deleting a nonrenewable resource. I can 100% agree with using lureplants for the reed trap though. Lureplants also don't spawn until spring and by the time spring rolls around you should already have a steady food supply (stone fruit trees make things a great deal easier), you should have resources stocked up (spending the eternal boring winter collecting resources and/or picking tumbleweeds) and enough gears to manage without the lureplants. For me and my friends, we don't create a base that requires that much space, therefore the flingo trick isn't particularly necessary for us. The only scenario I would use lureplants to increase flingo range would be if my world gen was awful and there were barely any surface clockworks, but typically my friends and I search for the ruins during spring, thus eliminating the need. The base trick is only really necessary for people who choose to mega base, but let's be real. Any team of players capable of mega basing will have an abundance of gears as is, or they'll base in the caves or the oasis where flingos are obsolete. Using a lureplant for combat is also kind of unnecessary because of the anenemies that you can get off the lunar island. They deal sixty damage and while they can only attack once, they do a great deal more for the player's sake then the eyeplants would be able to do. I hope you understand where I'm coming from with all of this. I wasn't trying to be rude, but reading back on my original comment I see where I might've gone wrong with that. I am not trying to say that these methods are stupid or not worth the time, I'm just trying to say I wouldn't use them.

[@darkstone_official_2427]

4 years later and I still think the Ancient Guardian should respawn naturally without needing to refresh the ruins. This way you can get multiple houndius before deciding to fight Fuelweaver if you use this strat to kill it. Also personally, I feel like the houndius turrets are far too underpowered especially with how drastically the modern day reworked characters were changed from their original selves. Considering we now have Wormwoods AOE bramble traps and armor plus various character specific abilities like Maxwell's shadow prison, Woodie's utility tree, and Wolfgang/Wigfrid's combat skills, the turrets are outclassed in every single way. Even your average player won't bother crafting them. In the next big update they should add a lunar variant as well as improving the base one's stats by either making it attack faster or doing more damage. Probably faster attack speed. Then the default one could be shadow aligned and the new lunar one would obviously be lunar aligned. If they wanna keep its recipe difficult they could make it require a decent chunk of moonglass and/or moonstone, or they could use something like the moon storm items like restrained static for like a power core or something or a crown shard socketed into the center of the eyeball on the turret like a cratered moon lens.
