Talk:Strange Plant

Found a purple Strange Plant not in the jungle as this article currently claims, but in a regular old forest biome. --Fascion (talk) 15:01, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that all four types will grow in a forest biome. I'd like to edit the page to reflect this but I feel that it first needs more consistent information on how they spawn everywhere else. I'd imaging that all four will grow in a jungle and underground as well, but I've yet to see any outside of forest biomes so I can't say for sure. Also, has anybody seen them in crimson/corruption/hallow? --Setheral (talk) 17:28, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Are these plants harvested with any weapon or do they require the use of a pickaxe ? Fegazeus (talk) 01:07, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Found my first Strange Plants, they require the use of a pickaxe to be gathered. Fegazeus (talk) 18:49, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Sky bridge
When is says "sky bridge", does it mean that strange plants also grow in space? --Ababcdc (talk) 01:55, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It grows on dirt blocks even with no grass on it, so making a sky bridge 700+ ft above the ground is a good way to farm these strange plants, though it might require a Large map an a couple thousands dirt blocks. Fegazeus (talk) 18:49, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Plant Proximity
Could someone get a reference of where in the code, strange plants can't spawn near other dye plants? I've looked at the generation code and couldn't find anything about it.
 * I wouldn't know a thing about where in the code it is, but it's been confirmed by Yoraiz0r --Setheral (talk) 20:12, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, about your comment that they cannot grow above 3/20 of the world surface. Are you sure this is even correct? 3/20 above 0 ft would still be, in most cases, underground. Seems like this would make more sense if it meant from the top of the world surface (Just before Space). --Setheral (talk) 20:48, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Plants underground
This probably isn't the correct way to use all the things on the talk page, but I found a Strange Plant in the underground... corruption. On some dirt that I had placed previously. Does this mean that they can grow underground, or was this a strange bug?
 * This is not a bug, Strange Plants can grow underground on dirt, moss, or jungle grass. –KM100 (talk) 06:09, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Interesting thing about the colors.
The colors of the orange, purple, and green strange plants are the same colors as the Solar, Nebula, and Vortex Celestial pillars respectively. I think that this would be an interesting thing to put in a Trivia section. 50.108.80.51 13:23, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
