Of course, youā€™ll face challenges on your journey to making a beautiful land. One of these can be hard to overcome if you donā€™t know what youā€™re doing, and thatā€™s when youā€™re told that the ecosystem canā€™t sustain any more plant life. If youā€™ve run into this problem, weā€™re here to help you solve it.

How to solve “ecosystem canā€™t sustain any more plants” in Towers of Aghasba

If youā€™re trying to plant more trees or flowers around your Colossal Tree and you get this warning, itā€™s exactly what it sounds like ā€” your ecosystem simply isnā€™t equipped to deal with more plants. You can fix this by cutting down trees or picking plants, anything that removes an already existing plant.

You can use any tool for this, like a Stone Hatchet, or even just your hands.

Every time you cut down a tree or harvest any plant in your ecosystem, you make room for more to be planted. If you cut down one tree or pick one flower, you make room for one more plant, and so on. This is the only way to make more room without upgrading your Colossal Tree.

Common plants and trees are what Iā€™d recommend cutting down since they wonā€™t be difficult to replace. It doesnā€™t matter what plants you remove, so long as you take something away to make more room.Ā 

How to increase the number of plants in an ecosystem in Towers of Aghasba

If you want to add more plants into your ecosystem without getting rid of old ones, you can upgrade your Colossal Tree and get more space to plant seeds. Youā€™ll naturally upgrade your Colossal Tree as you continue the main storyline.

There are several requirements that you need to fulfill to level up your Colossal Tree, such as feeding creatures inside of the ecosystem, planting specific seeds, and having fully grown plants inside. 

Creatures will be attracted to your ecosystem depending on the plant life that it sustains. Theyā€™ll come to your area, and you can feed the animals things like berries to keep them healthy. So long as you continue to take care of your plants and harvest the necessary seeds from the Colossal Tree, you shouldnā€™t have an issue meeting the requirements to upgrade.

Follow the main storyline, take good care of your ecosystem, and youā€™ll have no trouble upgrading and fitting more plants. Until then, get to chopping and harvesting to make more room.
