Even before you mentioned lotus root, flat-shroom seemed useless to me... lotus root just makes them feel even more useless. Why doesn't he just permanently remove the fog? I can understand him still being able to be eaten, especially because of the transportation sewers, but not permanently removing the fog is really poor design. It's like if plantern didn't permanently clear the fog in pvz1. I was under the impression that flat-shroom just didn't work as intended... but I feel like this is somehow even worse!

I dont think its per say the only issue, while yes bring only useful in one world kinda sucks, some plants in international (before modern day appeared anyways) do that too like Hot Potato and Perfume shroom. I think the main issue is the fact that they also SUCK at it too. Flat Shroom being a great example, what does it counter? Oh the steam vents, ok does it remove the Steam? No? You have to use another plant? Ok, Is it atleast good at defending the vents atleast? No? It sucks at that too? Ok.

I'm not sure how to feel about Flat-Shroom and Lotus Root both fulfilling the same role of removing smog. It's sorta like how Blover and Plantern in PVZ1 both remove fog, except the balance is even more messed up. -Plantern and Flat-Shroom are both totally defenseless; Blover instakills flying zombies and Lotus Root can still attack -Blover and Flat-Shroom both need to be replanted often; Plantern and Lotus Root just need to stay alive The worst part IMO is that Blover obsoletes Plantern, but Lotus Root having a cost of 200 sun means you can't just plunk it down like the free Flat-Shroom. It's like they realized how bad Flat-Shroom is and "balanced" it by making its competition too expensive to use in the early-game.

[@victorgoth1904]

It's actually quite sad that this world was released like... two years ago? And they haven't come back to finish it to this day. It still has only 23 levels, it still has a ton of bugs, its plants are badly designed imo (like the whole poison thing seems super useless because it does so little damage? why even use plants like Lily of Alchemy to begin with. Lotus Root's poison mechanic is more like a bonus, albeit a barely noticeable one, but Lily's mechanic is kinda meh and it's a LEGENDARY type of plant), the coding mistake with Flat-shroom is uh... I don't even want to talk about it. The chinese version repeats the same mistakes over and over, releasing unfinished content and taking an ungodly amount of time to finish it. Like remember the old maps? How Far Future and Sky City's bosses were unplayable? How Lost City had no keys nor exclusive off-way Brain Busters because the only gate on the old map couldn't be unlocked? Just why don't they concentrate on finishing these things instead of just slapping another unfinished crap on top of the old ones. It's so frustrating to see what PvZ2 turned into, both the international and the chinese versions. I apologize for all the blabbering, but I just needed to get it out of my system :D

[@trollsansofficial]

Here's a guide on how YOU (yep, YOU) can make Flat-shroom better: Step 1 Make it remove the steam when it's placed. Step 2 Make the steam harmless/weaker Step 3 Make it a ground plant Step 4 Idk just speed up the recharge

[@cardboardtoaster2169]

Here's my idea on a rework on each plant Flat Shroom: planted on a hole will cover it until it disappears in 20 seconds. Any zombie near it will be bounced to a different row up for up to 4 times (plant food would spew out steam slowing zombies that come in contact on the tile). Fanilla: Function as a Tap To Use plant. It's attack will push zombies back a while slightly damaging them a bit. Each level will also increase the usage and pushback of the attack. Passion Flower: no changes, just fix the animation of the attack projectile Lotus Root: no changes, just fix the bugs and make it reflectable by Jester. Berry Blaster: Make the 3x3 berry instead every 5th shot and also have a different projectile for it as well. Each level decreases the amount of required shots by 1 Lily of Alchemy: (I did not have any good ideas for this one)

[@The_one_the_only_pack_of_milk]

Im gonna put logic in flat shroom and the steam holes. Will that fix stuff? No, no it will absolutely not. If you remove the steam, then that steam needs to build up for 12 seconds for it to come out. But if you place flat shroom into the only opening, then steam can’t go anywhere. And it stays longer in until flat shroom gets yeeted. Why? Because the steam stuck underneath is building up more and more pressure until flat shroom can’t hold it any longer and all the steam yeets flat shroom away and all the pressure has been released. Again, this won’t help with why flat shroom won’t permanently stops steam from coming out

Some plants in this world, like Gold Bloom, are really good, while others, like Fanilla, feel like they should go in a garbage can. But here's my opinions on all of them: 1. Gold Bloom: Incredibly useful and OP. 2. Lotus Root: I didn't know Blover and Hurrikale could remove the steam. Since I have Blover, I can use it INSTEAD of Lotus Root to get the steam removed in a better way. Lotus Root could be better as a gimmick counter plant. 3. Flat-Shroom: I had no idea that Blover could remove steam, so I didn't get what this plant did when you first unlock it. Now that I know that Blover can remove steam, Flat-Shroom will be more useful. I knew about the transportation blocking though. 4. Fanilla: Like I said, trash. Literally only used for countering the Gentleman Zombie. Does too little damage. The tornado ability doesn't help make this plant better. 5. Passionflower: The rapid damage and multi-lane attacking gives this plant it uses. 6. Berry Blaster: I was able to beat that conveyor level with this and Lily of Alchemy easily, even on Hard Mode, because of the damage they do. 7. Lily of Alchemy: Really useful. The stacking poison gets rid of zombies quickly.

Attempt for French names (Suggestions for The French Captions) Gold Bloom : Phosflorescent (Gold bloom being in the international version, I'll use his official french name) Flat-Shroom: Champi-Bouchon Fanilla: Vanizé ("Vanille" and "Alizé") Passionflower/Maypop Mechanic: Engrenadille ("Engrenage" and "Grenadille" (Passion Flower specie)) Lotus Root/Shooter: Lotus Absorbante (Mul)Berry Blaster: Grenade Mûre-trière Lily of the Alchemy: Cata-Muguet

[@DrunkedOwly]

I got an idea just by seeing how utterly useless flat shroom is, it could be a lite pumpkin, but, when placed on steam holes it would charge a powerful onclick attack, it isn't a perfect design, but at least it would do something

[@angvunguyen3662]

One thing you forgot mentioning is that passionflower has the monkiwi sound if you play it in kungfu world

[@somemadnessfan4763]

why does the berry blaster look like something straight from PvZ Heroes

Oh my God, Dirk Valentine was my favorite old Nitrome game, when I heard its music, my jaw literally dropped. You are awesome.

Passionflower and Blastberry Seem like Very Good Plants

[@Neonblook]

15:19 I've always been thinking and counting. that it's still Raspberries, which are quite popular in our homeland. My grandmother has about 30 bushes of this delicious berry growing near her house.

Fanilla: I AM FOR GROUNDING FOR FLYING ENEMIES NOT FOR DEFEATING ZOMBIES

[@bng14]

fanilla's pushback attack doesn't use projectile, it uses air pressure

[@AceFuzzLord]

I feel like Lotus Root dying from the fog is actually balanced, otherwise the fog would just be a gimmick that makes the world a bit too hard. Also, I've always used a different name for the mulberry (mulberry grenadier) and poison shooting lily (convelaria alchemist) since that's what I first saw as a possible english translation of their names Also, I have footage of me beating a seed conveyor level (hard mode w/ lvl4 zombies) where you only get the mulberry, lily, and shrink violet on hard mode with just level 1 mulberry and lily and maybe level 2 violet. The strategy is that the lily is extremely OP and the violet works like a temporary blockade for any enemies getting in the way. Mulberry still can do decent damage, but try to get rows of alchemy lily to absolutely destroy everything you can, especially the gargantuars

I got an idea for flat shroom rework, 75 sun cost, bounces enemies ontop of him every 10 seconds, permanently blocks steam, can be stepped on.

[@UsualCreator]

I had smillar idea but instead of boucing zombies you can place plants on top of him.

[@blehshark]

@@UsualCreator thats actually a good idea

Costume level 4 lotus root is actually good since you have a 1/4 chance to wipe an entire lane

I like the lily of alchemy. It looks like it could have been in the international version too.

[@jiayufan9025]

Berry blaster before level 5 is considered trash, but level 5 berry blaster is considered to be one of the most broken plant in the game. It’s poison germane actually does percent poison damage that damage zombie 20% of their max health each second for 10 seconds. The effect works on every single zombie in the game.
