>literal junk nest and closet nest
Makes me think that the idea of starting new nests might have some actual merit, just instead of squigger sex it's the result of piling enough shit together. Even humans could do it, for simulated squigga arenas.
The "acron" looks like shit, though. Most hydroponic food items are tilted at 45° and vaguely representative of the size of the food itself. They also have spherical shading with angled lighting, not just flats. Alternatively, do it like peanuts and have a scattering of several acorns, similar to Acorn-Harvest, but bigger so people don't have to pixel hunt to pick them off the ground, or that they're recognizable from clutter at all. One huge acorn doesn't really work.

It'd also be funny if the Oak sprite were 64x64 and fucking huge, as that's when you could "harvest" oaks, but I don't even want to consider the nightmare of fitting a 64x64 snowflake sprite in a hydro tray.
