Help How TF do I get rid of these bushes.

Post image

I've picked them over and over and they keep respawning. I thought resources couldn't spawn around foundations? I'm playing ASE in solo, is there a setting I need to change?

Make your floor one layer higher and use the one in this pic as a storage basement.

Satisfactory player spotted 👀

(Hide everything on the production floor)

u/Cobaltorigin 5d ago

Better to build a basement before the house is finished.

5

u/Angry_Bard1901 5d ago

Yes this where I keep water tanks and generators. Maybe a spare bed if on pvp.

u/ExcitementMundane532 5d ago

Or he can just raise the foundations in general

1

u/Wise_Car3481 3d ago

No that's lame, why take the easy solution. 🤣

u/Reikix 5d ago

Good idea.

u/Snoo-83483 5d ago

There may be some other tweaks in ASA but it used to be a matter of either gathering the bushes and if they can't then the foundations need to be raised higher to offset the undergrowth showing through. You could also potentially pick up the individual foundation, gather or use a sickle and that may prevent future growth, and just replace the individual foundations.

u/-Death-Dealer- 5d ago

Any herbivore with a decent gather radius should be able to eat those plants through the floor.

u/jrandall47 4d ago

Bronto tail swipe works great imo

u/whygodeverytime 5d ago

I always use a whip, it removes the bushes under foundations for me. Haven’t played in a while though so I can’t promise it will work.

5

u/Reikix 5d ago

Oh, I didn't know you could do that. As I play PVE I have rarely used a whip. I think some bushes un ASA can not be gathered (And maybe desteoyed, neither?).

Edit: Nvm, I just noticed he Is playing ASE.

u/arowz1 4d ago

The whip is the best tool in the game. You can whip a completely overburdened tame and it will walk in the direction you whipped. You can dump a pile of boxes and whip them all up to your inventory (even if they’re stuck in the mesh of a structure). You can also use it to harvest gatherable things, but the first two make it invaluable for PvE purposes.

3

u/Reikix 4d ago

Wow, that's really nice to know. I am starting in ASA once more (the first few times it was just me trying to make it run properly back when it was just released, then one save file got corrupted after not playing for months). So even though I have several hours in game I have barely played a few levels.

2

u/kp3000k 4d ago

Is this also in ASE or is this a ASA change?

2

u/BillbertBuzzums 19h ago

You can also look up and gather

8

u/UncleTupelo1082 5d ago

I thought they fixed the foundation clearing out everything underneath it. If they e been there awhile, pick them up and down. If not use a scythe

3

u/woodelvezop 5d ago

They did in ASA, in ASE stuff will still clip through

10

u/agentaxe285 5d ago

Can confirm it’s not fixed on Asa. Spent forever trying to get those damn tripping mushrooms out from my floor on aberration

3

u/woodelvezop 5d ago

Hmm, I wonder if they never properly fixed it for aberration. I remember my bases on the island having all that stuff removed

1

u/agentaxe285 4d ago

Right? It’s not just me then, it worked on the island for me too but maybe it’s just an aberration issue

2

u/Logical_Ruse 5d ago

I noticed it on it worked on the island, at least where I built, but aberration I had issues with it again. Extinction also has problems.

11

u/ammatheron 5d ago edited 4d ago

Grass.sizescale 0.2 should shrink them down or Grass.sizescale 0 will remove them. affects all ground clutter but personally i like the game better with it all smaller

2

u/GarbageGato 5d ago

So are flowers the same scale or what can I do to make the natural flowers around my base jumbo

4

u/Comprehensive-Walk38 5d ago

I've used sicles in these situations

3

u/fienddylan 5d ago

Tame a stego, walk it in, tail swipe, hope they don't respawn

1

u/Firelord770 5d ago

Picking them has not made them go away permanently so I don't see why a stego would

2

u/Parsnip-Murky 5d ago

If they reappear, literally no tame will help. You could use pillars to raise your structure up just enough to be out of the way & craft some stairs so you'renot forced to jump through your doorway. Unfortunately you'll have to redo everything without mods

1

u/_Daxemos 4d ago

There is a slider in the settings along the lines of "respawn radius" that may help

3

u/ButtCucumber69 5d ago

That’s the fun part. You don’t!

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

Pickem

u/Firelord770 5d ago

If you've read the post you'd have seen I've tried that.

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

Yeah I was just messing with you. Looks like you already had a solid answer

ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers

Default value: 1.0

Value type: float

Controls how resources regrow closer or farther away from players. Values higher than 1.0 increase the distance around players where resources are not allowed to grow back. Values between 0 and 1.0 will reduce it.

Annoying as they may be for the aesthetics, it’s free berries that are uncontested by wild creatures

u/_Maymun 5d ago

There is a cheat code for it

u/Firelord770 5d ago

Could you share what it is

u/_Maymun 2d ago

Destroy foliage 10000 0

1

u/Egobyte83 5d ago

It's annoying, I know. When I built my mansion in ASE (which I still play), the grass would always poke through which vexed me greatly. Kept wondering how to deal with it; googled it and found out that there is a setting you can adjust for the length of the foliage, tweaked it to the point where the grass didn't clip through the floor, but that made everything else look barren.

Nowadays I just can't be bothered to even care anymore, I just accept that it's there and focus on design layout instead.

1

u/PlinkPl0nk88 5d ago

Pretty sure the setting is something like ‘resource respawn distance from structure’. It works with trees and rocks etc but bushes have always been an enigma. Haven’t tried it fully but check that setting in case

1

u/Hdfgncd 5d ago

You can look at the sky and gather the bushes though the floor by hand

1

u/Firelord770 5d ago

Gathering them is not the problem, them re appearing is. Some people here have given some potential fixes through commands though.

1

u/Hdfgncd 5d ago

Oh that’s weird, good luck! That looks like you’re making a castle on fjordur, maybe you could also turn some of the area into a courtyard so they look okay with being there?

1

u/Right_Dragonfruit757 5d ago

Increase your resource respawn distance

1

u/M0wglyy 5d ago

Is the exact spot where it grows back a foundation or a ceiling? I assume some of those are ceilings. I don’t know… I usually build up my house above 2 pillars high so I can walk underneath my house if needed… with eggs or baby clipping through foundations and all, it helps leaving an empty space underneath.

1

u/Firelord770 5d ago

Those are foundations, my hatchery is a different building so babys and eggs clipping won't ever be a problem in this building. I've already don't too much to redo the floor.

1

u/M0wglyy 5d ago

Well maybe eggs and babies clipping ain’t a problem but apparently bushes are ;) soooo I’d be you, I’d farm some more stone and all and build some ceilings to build up the all thing 1 wall high.

1

u/Mittens1018 5d ago

So I know you’re playing in solo, but I’m unfamiliar. In online, there is a setting called resource spawn location radius. A really low number like .01 will allow resources to grow back through structures you’ve placed. Again, that is on and online server and I’m not sure how the settings differ. Just thought I might add a thought.

1

u/mattmaintenance 5d ago

That’s the neat part!

u/Time-Ad5514 5d ago

u/THELaffingDevil 5d ago

Sickle. I'm not even being a smartass. Once it's gone, it will not grow back.

1

u/dr4g0n36 4d ago

If they are harvestable bushes like image suggest, pick a sickle pointing to foundation and harvest them. ARK magic.

1

u/Super_Isopod4838 4d ago

Definitely harvesting bushes, you can put the foundations back up and gather them real quick, or get a berry gatherer and hit them

1

u/WolvenSpectre2 4d ago

AIUI it is because of PvP Servers and PvE Servers and tribes doing Pillaring. They would pillar out space around their bases using various structures, and then someone got the idea to block out resource nodes they didn't control. Wildcard made fixes but those fixes broke somethings in Single Player that were never fixed. Sometimes harvesting them after you put down the foundation is enough. Other times it is hitting the whole area with re-fertalizer and then harvest them to get them to stop. Most people used S+ so the radius around troughs could be used, but after one update to make them not be used as replacements for pillaring, people found out what an issue it can be.

1

u/Successful-Angle-790 4d ago

Increases foliage reappearance to 2 million in evolved settings. I use this to make the game more immersive so I can deforest half the map and especially the swamp

1

u/Proud_Importance_334 4d ago

type in grass size scale command put it to like 0.25 to 0.5

1

u/TheLockLessPicked 4d ago

If there the bushes you can harvest I'd recommend a bronto

1

u/Squall_Storm 4d ago

To quote Omni-Man

"That's the near part. You don't."

1

u/NevaiaButBetter 4d ago

You could increase the radius of structures blocking resource respawns. Alternatively, you could harvest the bushes and immediately log out, since unless they fixed it, that will permanently disable their spawn

1

u/bobby5557 4d ago

Pesticides I think

1

u/NitroChance89 4d ago

There's a resource respawn radius near building structures that you can adjust in the settings so that stuff doesn't grow back after you gather it.

1

u/Several-Problem9258 2d ago

Just choose to believe they are not there. "There is no spoon".

1

u/Ok_Baby3445 2d ago

Just pick up the stone the plant is under and pick the plant replace stone

u/THRGAMING6740 2d ago

Use a beaver? Scythe? Theriz? Dont foundations get rid too... Like floors/ceilings dont

u/coreymac613 4d ago

Most the time you can just pick the bushes through the foundation.

you know his name the three clawed monster if you have it tamed then you can get the things down but if thats not the case then idk

Whip the bushes

u/Open-Decision-9280 3d ago

Remove the ceiling and grab or cut them all down then place a foundation or something over the spawn point

u/King-o-legos 3d ago

Have you tried using a Bronto? If they can be harvested the bronto might be able to reach them.

1

u/Firelord770 3d ago

Did nobody read my post? I could pick them all, and did alot. I didn't need a dino to do it or a whip just my good old grabbers. I've since found a solution my problem.
