DinoDash Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 So I was wondering how you were supposed to grow these plants without anyone just stealing the fertilizer once your offline. They don't grow if you conceal them do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oScottieHo Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I usually let the plot get to 600/600 water,put the seed and fert in and then put spikes over the top of the plot. Or if resources are plentiful stick a turret box up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awakatanka Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Having problems to find them. Where can i find them? The red thins on mountain do not give me anything and in swamp i do not see them. The island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danouk Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 They are sometimes hard to find on your own. Your Dinos that gather berries will be a great help getting some. The swamp is the best place for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chamoue222 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hey there, Indeed they are not everywhere! The best way is to go to the swamp with a flyer (Be careful, kapro can surprise you sometimes). You have to harvest them from special X-plant bushes that look just like a growing X-Plant (at Fruitling stage if I'm not mistaken). If you have a trike, or and ankylo, you could go out there and harvest all kind of herbs in the swamp, they will give you some. But the best is the X-Plant bushes ( You can get over 30 seed from 1!) Have fun! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usrevenge Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Swamp has literally bushes of plant x that give you like 30 seeds if harvested by hand. They aren't super common but run around. They are big and purple. The look sorta like plant x without the tentacle thing at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best way, but at the very least plant them when you have time to stay online until they are fully grown also plant one and plant another nearby so when they are grown one will protect the other. I put spikes around them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like everything else in your house if they break it they can take it. This applies to storage chests, and other defensive items.

Plannb23 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just now, DinoDash said: How long do they take to mature? From the moment you put the large crop plot down, 9 fertilizer and a PSX Seed in it, you're looking at 9 hours for a fully mature plant. Then once the plant is up, it will eat up the fertilizer based on shots it shoots. At the sprout point it attacks pretty much everything moving.

Not sure why you're trying to hide them, in fact, they're mostly useless on PvP. when you start out they're pretty good because you wouldnt be high enough yet to get to 65 to make turrets plus they'll still slow down dinos regardless even if it's a giga because when your lvl 65 you can use them as a combo because with the push back and blinding affect / slows with the auto turrets they'll come in great defense of a base while having both 1 hour ago, Plannb23 said: From the moment you put the large crop plot down, 9 fertilizer and a PSX Seed in it, you're looking at 9 hours for a fully mature plant.

I've gone from fruitling to terror in less than 12 hours. In fact, I planted some this weekend at around 8pm and was on at 5am and they were up and running.
