Help. I have a ghostpipe in a planter's pot but it won't let me plant it on dirt, farmlant, forest, cave or lushcave. What do I do?

try right-clicking treepot then option "Plant Tree", then click cave ground to place it

That... that was the answer. Thank you so much. I was trying to place pot in ground and wasn't coming up with plant tree option.

Is it true that you can find boulders containing metal on top layer of the world, layer 0, ground/top level? Where the character spawns.
Also do they contain hard metal or soft metal or both?

The only Ore Boulder naturally available on the surface world is Cinnabar, which is an ore of Quicksilver (mercury). The other ores can only be found by mining.

Does game spcify what is rock and what is metal as when chipping and mining them kind of gives lump/rock of them and I swear you can use them in rock crafting recipies, the mined metals I mean.

Also since survival stat means nothing anymore, (fakin hardcaps, everything should be softcapped and them stats useuful again) how does one increase branch quality is there a trick or something. Tried copping dead trees and spliting them into branches, but got less quality, pick from normal trees, brach quality maximum I got was like 13 or 14, but my survival is like 30 or more, like wtf are we stuck on max quality 10 for branches and stone?

get some masonry. mine something. use your q14 rock to make a q12 axe. Use the q12 axe to split a block of wood into q11 [citation needed] branches. Use the q11 [or whatever] branch with another q14 rock to make a q12.5 [you get the picture] axe. iterate.

(Yes, surface boulders are, as they always have been, q10. Things mined out of cave walls have varying qualities, with a base of 10, and are hardcapped by your level in masonry then softcapped by your tool q).
