It's Purple!
Ube, a root vegetable similar to a sweet potato, can be used to make vibrant purple desserts! They are more filling than their ordinary counterparts.
Dirt Ores
As the Verdant Growth's roots erode stone to dirt, ores will be converted to dirt ores - these loose conglomerates can be mined with any tool.
Stinking Blossom
The Stinking Blossom may look nice, but its nauseating smell is quite unpleasant! Avoid stepping on it, or face the consequences. On the other hand, the zombie-like odor might be useful in a potion...
What Witchcraft is this?
Witches adapt to the Verdant Growth to become Poisoners, taking advantage of the many noxious and powerful plants with deadly results.
Kabloom!
Blasting Blossoms, inspired by Legend of Zelda's Bomb Flowers, are a powerful organic explosive. They may be hard to farm, but they're quite useful! Harvest them by right-clicking with shears or face explosive consequences.
Self Defense
Upgrade basic Heartwood Armor into Imbued Heartwood Armor or Thorny Heartwood Armor! Thorny armor has a built-in Thorns effect, and Imbued armor is rapidly self-repairing. Wearing a full set of Imbued Heartwood armor will pacify the Verdant Growth.
Strangler Vines
This was once a humble, harmless oak tree - now transformed by the Verdant Growth.
Overgrowth Pyramid
It smells like soil after rain... strange faces carved in the walls warn you that this place is more than it seems!
Take a Deep Breath...
Because you'll need it to operate the Blowgun! Craft darts out of thorns and sticks and rapidly fire them out of a blowgun. Add effects to darts using flowers and other items, and boost their duration with binders like slime balls
Rue the Day...
...When you release the Verdant Growth! Or don't, since these humble yellow blossoms are harmless and add a rural touch to any home.
Bleeding Heart
Despite its ominous name, this flower is quite harmless. Just don't eat it.
Cherry Grove
Even serene cherry groves are quickly overtaken by the Verdant Growth
Coffee, Need More Be Said?
Bone-meal Wild Coffee to get Coffee Berries. Plant them on farmland, wait for them to grow, roast the berries, and brew an energizing drink!
Overgrown Village
Protect your villages from the Verdant Growth - they're not immune to its hazards, and will quickly succumb to thorn and vine!
Stand in the Shade
The sap of Blueweed causes photosensitivity - standing in direct sunlight will hurt!
