Starch in the Jungle Terrarium

Does anyone know of any good (preferably realistic in a jungle) agents that will put a decent source of starch in the Jungle Terrarium? I thought Awkwood Creepers would work, but apparently their seeds are classified as food instead of seeds.

There seem to be a few spiky seeds to stop them from starving, but for the most part my Grendels seem to always be hungry for starch and have to go to a Norn area (I guess that's deliberate to spark more conflict, and probably one reason Banshee Grendels can be so fierce, since they also get a little starch from hitting, and besides being angry they are probably ravenous for starch by the time they get to a Norn area). Still, it would be nice if my Grendels had a good source of starch without having to leave the Jungle...

I love recommending agents. There are mushrooms of different kinds. There is also a mushroom that comes with Silence Falls, a metaroom, but I can't find the standalone agent for them atm. This fern here also works, but is apparently a bit buggy. I don't use it that often so I don't know for sure. There also this slightly unrealistic plant here that I think fits in with the jungle.

Hmm I like those mushrooms and the ferns look really cool, maybe I'll download them and see if I can notice any bugs and try to fix them (can you tell I love programming?)

I thought most of the mushrooms were fruit (and hence protein)?

It's not very jungle-y, but I can recommend the plant pots from the Children of Capillata metarooms - there are pots for both lemons and justanuts.

And if you're prepared to have a bit more of a play, there's always the Garden box...

Gotta love TwilightCat and Trollop's agents; I really like the art style and most of them seem to fit in perfectly with the Jungle Terrarium! I reckon the Terraka Weed would also blend in nicely! Its seeds make for a good source of starch too. :)

Fruit has starch and protein, so they should work. Those ferns definitely make seeds though, so those look good. Garden Box has so many plants at this point available to it, I wouldn't know where to start.

Y'know I like the fungi in the jungle, but it's a shame only ONE seed comes out, so they'll eventually go extinct without replenishment.

The tendrils are a pretty good vanilla source of seeds, but they take quite a while to nurture.

You might be interested in this update for the fungi, created by Pirate-Rob. Lots of seeds, and a very small chance of extinction!

Cos updates are nice, I remember I used to have one that prevented alot of extinction in the norn terrarium. I think it was vampress'?

I think you mean the Woodland Fix Pack here. Pretty much any of these fixes by Vampess is great, from what I've seen...
