Talk:Sunflower

The "brightening" effect should be discussed and experimented with
When you place a sunflower, the (entire game inculding the UI or not including the UI? Experimentation required) brightens. I am unsure if this is just a simple change of contrast or if this is related to the color change that occurs when moving between certain biomes; experimentation required. 96.247.144.112 08:48, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Sunflower (item) and Sunflower (plant)?
Title says it all. ~Null(T-C) 04:17, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Why are they separate? Placing the item gives you the plant, uprooting the plant gives you the item. There aren't separate articles for "naturally spawned" Hellforges and the item in your inventory... because they are the same thing. Do correct me if I've misunderstood something. -- Rhombus (T ♦ C) 22:30, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Sunflowers don't stop the crimson

There were 2 sunflowers placed there. The crimson reached the rightmost sunflower, converted the grass into crimson grass and the sunflower broke. Therefore, sunflowers still can't stop crimson from spreading pre-hardmode.

And here's how the little experiment ended after a while: http://i.imgur.com/zQukFux.png

EDIT: Here are some videos. This is what happens pre-hardmode, and this is what happens in hardmode.

Happy buff critter spawn
Does the happy buff reduce critter spawns? -90.191.4.133 14:01, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Upon investigation of the source, it seems to reduce spawns of everything, so yes, it does. 4e696e6a6f795844 (talk) 15:11, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Happy!
Does it work on mobile, because I planted 1 but didn't get the buff? RaptorWolf89 (talk) 21:38, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
 * On the mobile version, sunflowers glow, but they don't buff you with Happy!. 4e696e6a6f795844 (talk) 22:03, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

1.4 Happy Effect Range Buff
I've done some testing with the sunflowers in 1.4 (PC) and I believe the radius of the Happy buff has been updated to match that of the campfire, heart lantern, ect. (that being 170 x 125 rectangular region). If someone would like to confirm this change and update the page that would be great. (I would update it but I dont know how to do the eicons and dont want to mess anything up) SPAMTH3HAM98040 (talk) 23:59, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Clarification on the area that sunflowers protect from crimson/corruption/hallow spread
I've seen many people misinterpret or misconstrue this line: "The area under them cannot become Corrupted, Crimsoned, or Hallowed, even in Hardmode." as meaning that sunflowers placed on the surface will protect against the spread all the way down to the underworld (since "The area under them" wasn't very clear), while a quick test shows that is not the case at all. Anyone have any insight on this? Stranded at sea (talk) 01:32, 20 January 2021 (UTC)


 * It solely refers to the two tiles that the Sunflower is placed on. I have clarified this in the article, thanks for noting. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 21:31, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
