Are the brightshades a thorn in your side? Do they keep targeting your farms and it’s getting on your nerves? Or do you want to ignore the Brightshades entirely?!? Well I’ve got the guide for you on how to manipulate where the brightshades spawn in your world in the new Taking Root update, a part of the From Beyond arc!

USEFUL SERVER-SIDE COMMANDS
Locating where the domestic plant herd is:
c_gonext(“domesticplantherd”)

Finding the size of the domestic plant herd (you need to be near it first though):
c_announce(c_find("domesticplantherd").components.herd:GetDebugString())

How long until the next rift spawns (not how long until it reaches stage 3):
c_announce(TheWorld.components.riftspawner:GetDebugString())

How many waves are left once the rift has reached its max stage:
c_announce(TheWorld.components.lunarthrall_plantspawner:GetDebugString())
