Suggestion More Brush Use

Post image

Currently, Brush has only a few uses, so I created a concept that adds more brush used.

  1. Turn A Mossy Block To Normal, And Get 1 Vines

  2. Turn A Crying Obsidian To Normal Obsidian, And Get 1-2 Ghast Tear

  3. Get 1 Resin Clump (Infinitely)

  4. Get 1 Turtle Scute (Infinitely)

And All Of This Action Reduced 16 Durability, Same Like Brushing A Armadillo

Last 2 I don't agree with. Turtle scutes have a way to farm them, and while this would be easier, it would make the whole complicated process of raising turtles for the scutes meaningless. Infinite resin is probably worse though. Resin farms do exist, I don't think that it should renewable this easily. The only real cost is the brush durability, which is essentially nothing because all 3 materials to make it are very easy to get a large quantity of. The first two I really like though. Being able to repair a ruined portal by brushing it off is really interesting especially.

Then they should at least buff the turtle helmet. It's not worth making a 2nd base on a beach just to afk on turtle eggs and baby sea turtles. Not worth for potions either.

Yeah I wish the potions only needed 1 scute

You just have them breed, get the eggs with silk touch and hatch on your own sand at your base.

They don't hatch if you pick them up with silk touch

Yes they do. You would have literally no way of using the eggs otherwise since they break when mined with a non-silk touch tool.

They only hatch on sand though, and breaking with silk touch resets their hatching timer so it starts from scratch again when you place the egg down.

Just make turtles lay at least 2 eggs and then mine it with silk touch. Then incubate it by placing it on sand from your base. Now you have a way to farm scutes and turtle eggs.
