I suspect it's very particular in the type of soil it thrives on.

Wagstaff, when examining a Nettle Plant

Nettle Vine is a plant exclusive to the Hamlet DLC. It can be harvested without the need of a tool, and will provide one Nettle. Nettle Vine has four states, but only one of these could make it grow. Nettle Vine does not grow and will wither during Winter.

Nettle Vines will only bloom when they have 20+ Wetness value and are fully grown. At the time of world generation, Nettle Vines are already fully grown. As such, they can be harvested as soon as their wetness reaches the required value, which happens easily during the Heavy Fog and Rain of the Humid Season. However, once Nettle Vines have been harvested or replanted, they must be kept above 20 wetness for a combined total of three days (or Wickerbottom's Applied Horticulture) to be fully grown again. Once a vine has fully grown, it can be harvested at any time while wet. The practical way to regrow harvested Nettle Vines is with the use of a Sprinkler. Nettle Vines will also only bloom on Deep Rainforest turf (in which they spawn) and on Dense Turf. If they are planted on any other turf, they will wither and never bloom, even if they get wetness.

Prototype Tips[]

  • The sparse placement of Nettle Vines combined with weather-bound harvest availability poses a significant time-sink for players who choose to gather Nettles early on. However, the Fountain of Youth island is guaranteed to contain 2 large clusters of Nettle Vines within the deep rainforest where the player first emerges from the ruins. It may be wise to utilise the Gas Mask for the first lush season, in order to have additional time to collect nettle plants.
  • Wormwood is immune to Hay Fever, so transplanting Nettle Vines for him is useless.
  • The player should transplant at least 24 Nettle Vines.
    • Utilizing nothing but raw Nettles the player will need to amass 29 of them to sustain each Lush Season.
    • Utilizing Nettle Rolls the player will need to amass 24 raw Nettles exactly to sustain each Lush Season.
  • In the Shipwrecked DLC, Nettle Vine will immediately enter the flowering state when planted in Flooding Dense Turf. As a pickable plant, it will also grow 33% faster during Spring or Monsoon Season like most other plants. Please note that the Dense Turf will not spawn Puddles to adapt to Nettle Vines' growth. Tides and expanding Puddles can still flood this turf, however. It is recommended to place the turf and plant nettle vines after the flood has appeared somewhere.

Mosquito Bugs[]

  • Nettle Vines have an unfixed bug that resets their growth cycle when the game is saved and quit or closed.

Placeholder Trivia[]

  • Nettle Vines used to require 1.5 days to regrow, and they had a bug which their growth timers would reset to zero if they dry out before they fully grows. Both these were changed and fixed in the February 27, 2019 update.
