How to solve “ecosystem can’t sustain any more plants” in Towers of Aghasba

If you’re trying to plant more trees or flowers around your Colossal Tree and you get this warning, it’s exactly what it sounds like — your ecosystem simply isn’t equipped to deal with more plants. You can fix this bycutting 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 I’d recommend cutting down since they won’t be difficult to replace. It doesn’t matter what plants you remove, so long as you take something away to make more room.

So long as you continue to take care of your plants and harvest the necessary seeds from the Colossal Tree, you shouldn’t have an issue meeting the requirements to upgrade.

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