i [Done] Quality plants recommendation

a month ago

Hi, I haven't progressed to actually trying this mod but looking forward to it.
I noticed that you added a new dependency with the cbs quality plants mod.
I was wondering if, since that is to fix the quality not being carried through, it was actually essential to the mod running on its own.
If not, could it perhaps be changed from required to the new recommended type? That way it will still download and be added when someone adds the mod, but they can opt out and turn it off and still use this mod.
The reason is because the cbs mod blocks the other quality trees mod that I have, so I cannot use both at the same time, so I haven't updated this mod yet.

Hi Edenstudent, and thanks — good suggestion.

Done in 0.14.1. Quality Plants is a recommended dependency now.

Without wishing to disparage the Quality Trees mod, I would nevertheless recommend the cbs Quality Plants mod. Simply because the cbs Quality Plants mod gets a few things right that are missing from Quality Trees.

  • The most important point: Quality modules in an agricultural tower still do something. Their roll is added on top of the seed you planted instead of being thrown away.
  • Seeds you plant by hand count too, not just the ones a tower sows.
  • A harvest never goes above what you have researched.
  • The quality of a spot cannot be inherited. Burn a plant down, plant a normal seed there, and you get a normal harvest.
  • The badge stays out of the way. It sits at the plant's foot, shows in alt mode only, and each player can switch it off.
  • Pipette a quality plant and you get the matching quality seed.
