I think the vines are tolerable if you keep your Fill and Arousal at 0 at all costs. Always spam the X button when you’re in the grass tiles in case if the RNG decides to let you live with no vine encounters or they’re sick of your luck. (Edit: It’s actually the grass debris that determines the RNG, not the tiles. But regardless, always spam the struggle button)
Though, that’s only useful if you’re in The Overgrowth. The Pneumatics? Yeah, good luck with those air pumps.
You cannot let your arousal meter way too high (Probably like over 30% where it’s prone to bad luck), so keep trying to deflate if you’re in a safe area.
The only time where your arousal starts decaying (2 points per 5 seconds) is when you’re around 0 - 2 Ripeness level. Anything beyond that stops decaying.
Also, completely valid to turn on infinite attempts. At worst luck possible, you’d be draining the attempts from 15 to all the way down to 2 - 5 juicings left from a single vine and a plant girl chasing you (Yes, I even experienced it myself, it was brutal).
