Survivor has settlement building and you can even plant gardens

Get out your Yoda garden shovels: In Jedi Survivor you plant beds.

Name three things that come to mind when you hear the word Jedi: three, two, one, go! lightsaber, robe and garden rake. How? you have something else

But chances are, once you start playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor later this month, you’ll be able to envision a Jedi as at least the part-time keeper of a grove of plants.

Base and Horticulture

Because Cal Kestis will not only manage a settlement, but also plant beds. Both should bring playful advantages and was revealed in a Playstation blog post

The focal point of Koboh: One of the first planets you set foot on during your journey will be Koboh. And both the plot and your urge to explore will bring you back here many times.

Because the planet consists of an open world that is gradually opening up thanks to the new abilities of the Jedi Knight. Also found on it is the literal center of Cal Kestis’ activities as gardener and mayor: The village of Rambler’s Reach.

Homestead: Rambler’s Reach

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is intended to include settlement mechanics, that much is clear. However, the exact extent is unknown.

The player should be able to recruit NPCs elsewhere and send them here, so the place is gradually populated by traders, technicians or even a DJ.

We know a little more about gardening. Check out this tweet from Daily Star Wars Games for a glimpse of what the seed-and-plant gameplay looks like.

However, it is still unknown what effects the system will have on the core of the game. Can we buff each other? Can we weave garments from plant fibers?

All questions about the exact meaning, scope and depth of base and plant cultivation currently remain unanswered.

The feedback from the players on the beds has been quite positive so far. For example, it pushes Twitter user StarVel like this: Oh my god, this is actually fantastic. I loved the plants on the ship in Fallen Order, but this is 100x better.

What do you think? How do you like the idea that Cal not only fights the Empire, but also builds his own base and even works as a gardener with the help of his droid? Stupid, useless game time stretching mechanic or cool gimmick in a galaxy far, far away? Tell us about your thoughts in the comments!
