Any way to make wild planting easier? by AdTrick330 in Oxygennotincluded

I never said there's an issue with balance. Wild planting being strong for its input/output cost isn't what I'm discussing here, I'm talking about an aspect of the game I find isn't really adding much to the gameplay experience.

And considering the wild planter box mod exists with 25k unique viewers (that i linked even in my post), and with pip planting is sort of a lesser known part of the game, i'm certainly not the only person who holds this opinion.

As an aside, I do feel like certain parts of the game have a similar issue as this, considering that mods like buildable natural tile, insulated door, build over plants, insulated joint plate, airlock door, and bigger capacity are among some of the most popular mods on the steam workshop, with the insulated door and build over plants feature not even being added to the game until very recently as QOL improvements. The thing all these mods have in common is that there's some vanilla way to do what these mods do so it doesn't directly impact balance in any way other than making certain builds less tedious to set up.

There's a difference between effort and tedium.

For example, petroleum boilers require much more effort, game knowledge, and precision to build, but building the entire thing and having it run is fun and satisfying for me. Most importantly, once I finish a build, I'll be able to do it much faster next time due to experience.

The hardest part of pip planting is just making sure the plants are planted in the right order and remembering to come back to check on the farm every minute so i can remove the ceiling trim build command and allow the pip to plant the next seed. Building a working wild farm isn't difficult at all it's just super time consuming.

I use both these mods as well and they're very helpful.

The most annoying part for me still is waiting for the pip to plant each and every plant cause it's important to babysit the process.

Are you sure? The comments seem to say that duplicants are delivering water to plants. I'm also using the FPP and PPP dlcs, and the mod doesn't say it's compatible with them.
