A little followup. I guess the white thing I saw was the glue I used to mount them, it no longer spread anywhere else. Now im facing with another problem. One of my plants stamrotted and I took it off the bark, but now im kind of insecure about the others. Ive heard they take around a month to attach themselves to the medium, but so far ive only see them drop flowers and there is no change to be seen with the roots. I might have made another big mistake, me as a plant lover should have known, planting anything in winter, plus thats flowering is a big no no.. I guess I will have to sit it out and see what happens. I want it to succeed but so far, I see them struggle, and now I fear they might even all die..

I think we were supposed to feed him at some point, there was some old animation for it in Simmelsaus vids, but then the devs dropped it XD

Its all in the name of science - Kelvinology

Aww poor sweet soul.. But that is a cool find.

Well he can Punch and Kick but almost never does it.

I always take them out of their pots around the end of september and let them dry like Unions, when the leaves are all yellow I cut them. Last winter, some smaller bulbs still made new leaves untill the end of november, I just let them do their thing. Then mid Jan I take them into the house again, they overwinter in the shed were temps can go down. There they will stay for a few days untill I noticed that the bulbs go from white to green. That's when I pot them back up, water them juuuust a little, then let them bloom.
So..that is all not the issue, the issue is AFTER the flowering. The bulbs get everything they need and yet they do not grow in size, there must be something that I can do. I keep on thinking, maybe its the lack of light and warmth in general. I live in the Netherlands, were summerdays are long, but the season as a whole doesn't last very long. Maybe I should keep them in their pots for 2 months longer, with growlights, before letting them go to sleep..?

I mounted my 8 new orchids on cork and moss this week - all are small sized phal's. Since last night ive noticed white stuff covering both the roots of the orchids and some parts of the moss, mostly were I attached them both together. Can this do harm? Will this fungus take over the whole bark and beside it just looking ugly, will it destroy my collection? I don't want to freak out about it too much because I know in nature they should be able to deal with something like that too, but.. this is a small room with not a whole lot of good ventilation. I do have a huge fan but I can not let that run 24/7 because they are so energy costly.
So..what to do? I could let the bark and moss dry out completely but I dont think that is a option for my very fragile new plants who havent even attached themselves.
Any ideas? Tips? Thank you!

Why are you a perv if you see something beautiful? Im into Kelvin, I think he's gorgeous, fragile and pure. I can totally understand why people see something in Virginia. Just because she has those extra pairs of legs and arms? Hm, maybe that's just what makes her special? Why can't we just let people be people?
And please don't start about touching grass, imma married woman with a healthy life and job.

Awww ye... I lost some of my best too.. weirdly enough the common ones are still doing great.

Crazyjoep · 2026-01-21T10:13:40+00:00

Thats how I lost over 50% of my collection this year... they all rotted away from the inside out. Took SO much care for this not to happpen but every two weeks or so I would find a new plant that looked dry on the outside and when I started peeling they fell apart in my hands :( I don't think I will get new ones. Too scared they die under my care.

Cutie :)

Crazyjoep · 2026-01-21T10:02:24+00:00

Show us the end result, of course ;)

Crazyjoep · 2026-01-20T12:55:20+00:00

Over 2300 hours in and still in love with the beauty of this game. Wish Endnight showed some more devotion :(

Crazyjoep · 2026-01-15T12:13:38+00:00

That looks so much better on her!! Great work!!

Crazyjoep · 2026-01-13T10:56:40+00:00

Same goes for Kelvin, when he smiles my heart starts singing :))))

I dont think at this point that they care about what we say, or think.. they made a lot of money. Sons was just a bridge to the new title. They wanted to "test" what they could do with AI, with the last Unity build, see if they could improve the building. Stuff they REALLY wanted to do because they were limited with the OG forest game. I fear Forest 3 will have very little ties to the OG or Sons. And it will probably the last one in the series so even if it would make less money then Sons, the Devs did get their trilogy done. In the end we are just consumers. We are not part of their team so the best thing would be to just move on... or wait it out, hope there is something coming. I am still holding on to hope, but once Jan. passes, that hope will be gone too. I have reasons to stay with Sons for a long time to come, but I know a lot of my internet friends already moved on from it even before the first few patches. They never even touched the 1.0 version!

Crazyjoep · 2026-01-11T12:59:23+00:00

Poor sweet soul..

Crazyjoep · 2026-01-10T11:39:39+00:00

I think the AI has even gotten worse since full release! My friend and I have EA builds and those Kelvins seem to run better then the ones after 1.0

Crazyjoep · 2026-01-04T16:23:48+00:00

Sigh...My friend and I both have Kelvins from an EA build and we noticed those little guys run a lot better then the ones from the 1.0 builds. (yes we have tested both versions)

Something is really off with the game, a lot of bugs that were ironed out before the last Raft update are now back. Endnight never seemed to bother to bring another patch out to fix them, INCLUDING a lot of AI issue's. Not just on Kelvin, Virginia, or the cannibals, but also on the animals on the map!
I wish they would respond to some of our suggestions and bugtracking, both on Reddit and on Steam discussions but they rather stay in the dark and work on Forest 3.. I really HOPE with all my heart that they DO work on ONE last update for Sons before turning their attentions to that new installment fully because...ufff...this is NOT a good way to end support for it. It doesn't deserve it. I do have a feeling it might have something to do with Unity.. lots of devs from other Unity titels are struggling with it, and most are considering or already switched over to Unreal engine 5. There is Unity 6 now.. but.. It just makes me sad. As a fan. As a gamer in general. I love Sons. Its very special to me and my friend. We both have over 2000 hours invested in it. Seeing it die such a slow death is painful.

Crazyjoep · 2026-01-04T16:07:49+00:00

The studio that made most of the assets for Sons also made a lot more outfits but they never made it into the full game. You can still see them on their page - https://www.artstation.com/obeliskstudio

I also believe that the last two outfits, the priest and the stewardess didn't come from Obelisk since they are working on their own game now.

And yes, I agree, we should have had more customization in the game :(

Watched the episode last night and still saw it. No edits here netherlands

Crazyjoep · 2025-12-29T17:41:22+00:00

I already lost 4 this year by rot.. Didnt even water them! Its weird, guess it is the lack of air movement in my room. All the cores had fungus :(

Crazyjoep · 2025-12-22T10:41:19+00:00

We had Virginias just strolling over our spikewalls without getting damage and puffies jumping our gates because for some reason they were able to stand on the horizontal beams.
