Just made my first two bottles of paint and managed to paint 2 blocs with em!!!
I was hoping for a better output
did I miss something while making it? with the current output and time to mutate and hatch the goo it is just not viable to use the paint to change a build.
yes, and hatching the plants takes 1 1/2 days, they give 3-4 pigments each, and 1 1/2 days to mutate them (wich you can do multiple time to get to the right pigment color)
Edited for correct number of pigment per crops, thx @Stretchious
Whaaaat i know nothing about the spraying system but i was expecting one can to spray many blocks sounds like I shouldnt waste my time with this system?
Thx for the correction, only had pigments on harvesting my mutating crops.
Getting 3-4 pigment on the last step makes it a bit better, but i still hoped the spraycan would work on more than one bloc (tho i wouldnt imagine painting a 1metre cube with a single spraycan irl :p)
Especially not a nice idea when it took several mutating grows to get to that colour!
All in all I was also very surprised to notice you can only use 1 whole can of paint on ONE block. The trouble you have to go to to get the right goo colour (might need several stages of mutating first), then growing it and then you finally can colour 1 block! Whoopteedoo
This is not what I expected when James said the following:
Perhaps Iâm mistaken and it will become easier and easier over time but right now it does only create a handful of blocks in a novelty colour
Importantly though, this is a game, after all. We donât grow spray paint pigments on top of caverns in real life either.
My point being that a system like this should definitely go into the depths of creative freedom and fun without getting bogged down too much by ârealisticâ concerns. When I read the name Boundless, I want to think Boundless creative freedom.
Currently I have over 900 goo seeds from one of the exos⌠But I havenât even started planting them yet, as I canât seem to find the motivation to create the space required for so much goo farming, for the amount of blocks itâll let me colour⌠Not to mention, as youâve said, the time it takes to prepare and let it all grow etcâŚ
