    Do they grow from the Pale Tree?

    its when you can give anyone a painful death no matter what their age but only if they make you justifiably angry first.
    seriously, I get the idea/context of the dang term but I don't know how to really describe it all to well.

    I..aren't you the one who said that they aren't all that evil?

    Why are you agonizing over my use of the word evil? Will it make you feel better if we agree to just say "aggressive and hostile" instead? Crimeny.
     
  4. I said I don't see them as evil. I never said they 'aren't all that evil'. But you said they're borderline evil- I want to know what puts the borderline on borderline evil.

    There is no agonizing going on for me, only interest as to why you think of it that way. That's why I asked what makes it borderline. As such, my feelings and emotions over this has no relevance to the topic in question.

    There's a difference between them being aggressive and carnivorous and being malevolent, a big difference.

    ... more like fiercely territorial, very efficient recyclers. Cannibalism ... or composting?

  7. I feel that Thornlike teeth would not be very effective against a steel chassis, and that they would receive no nutrients from doing so, and they may end up poisoning themselves.

    Nevertheless, they will try...

    Kinda scary to think that my garden could actually come alive and kill me in Starbound.
    I think I need to redesign it....

    Just make sure to not have any five to six foot plants laying around,
    Besides that you should be good.

    o Does that mean the tree's have to go?
    I kinda like the trees
    Apart from that they're all small plants
     
  11. Notice that they were hinting that florans have no concept for non-plant life, which might mean also that they have no concept for other cultures unlike themselves. Im willing to bet they will eagerly prey upon other tribes of florans as well.

    As long as the tree is not about humonoid sized,
    Hint hint on how I said 5-6 feet tall,
    I'm sure you can find taller trees.
    Honestly it would not surprise me at all if such things were true.

    Haha, was more of expecting a benign race of plant people, with an advanced tech organic society and architecture.

    Turns out to be the exact opposite :eek:

    No problems with that but I'll be picking something else, not fond of building tents made of skin stuff :)

    Unisex does not mean asexual. An organism is asexual if it makes exact copies of itself
