The clawers more noticeably faster than the barkskins, but only by a difference of 0.8cells/sec. Barkskins have a high armor stat, 60% sharp and 30% blunt, that will help deflect every couple of shots they take. That is enough to readily tear through the armor of nearly every enemy the game can throw at you, including mechanoids. Power wise, the clawers are incredibly high damage, boasting a 7.44 melee DPS with an astonishing 80% armor penetration. These fearsome dryads will follow their tree’s connected pawn into battle and fight similarly to animals. However, looking at the pruning stat a 1.25x multiplier is applied to the pawn, giving them a pruning speed of 140% at lvl 20, versus a non tree connector at 112%.Ĭombat Dryads: The Clawers and the Barkskins This is a 25% bonus to pruning speed, and cannot be related to the x%/hr. Pruning speed is a stat that can be seen in the character info screen, and is affected by plants skill and the tree connector ideoligion. Other than increasing plants skills you can’t make them faster. (this was as of the update on 7/30/21, increased variation between low and high levels)Ĭan I prune them faster (aka get more dryads)?Ī pawn with wooden hands and 50% manipulation will prune the same speed as a pawn with 2 field hands. Your pawn will get faster at maintaining the tree since pruning gives plant experience. They take a minimum of 4.5 hours at plants 20. Assuming 5% above the connection strength: 1 dryad: 3.3 hours, 2 dryads: 4.8 hours, 3 dryads: 6.7 hours. They can also be planted on fungal gravel (unlocked by tunneler meme) in the dark.įor players that prefer year-round preferable biomes, the trees have specific uses, but remain weak in comparison to growing alternatives, combat dryads are the same regardless of map.Ī pawn at plants skill 0 will take 8.2 hours a day to maintain 4 dryads on a tree, or above 65% connection strength. They remain unable to grow in ice sheets.

Or those in low grow period zones, where the tree will maintain it’s production through winter and even in a no-grow tile, such as the northernmost tundra tiles. They have a high potential in making difficult games possible, such as those in the extreme desert, where there is no arable land for plants, but plenty of sand for the tree. The Gauranlen trees will continue to support their dryads year-round, and are only affected by connection strength. They can grow on a wide variety of tiles and heal themselves over time.

Gauranlen trees boast unprecedented hardiness compared to all other plants.
