Hello, when using your mod with "Any Planet Start" set on Vulcanus, this makes it possible to create infinite wood on a burning planet without exploring any other planet ^^

Because you spawn with 1 wood and the recipe to "cultivate" saplings requires only 1 wood, you don't need to get more to start the process.

I think this could be fixed by increasing the required ingredient from 1 to 2.

Also, as a suggestion, could you add some mod options to define:

-- The required wood to start the sapling recipe (this will allow defining the cost to "cultivate" the saplings)
-- Time to grow the wood in the greenhouse (30 seconds feels a bit too cheaty; most agriculture mods use values in minutes)
-- Number of charcoal you get from smelting wood and duration ?

(For exemple, i would changed it to 500 seconds for saplings to wood on greenhouse, 2 wood to 4 saplings and it take 30 seconds, adding 10 stone to the "Plant capsule" recipe)

Thanks for reading.

Hello,

Thank you for interest in this mod. I will think about adding said parameters into config but I won't change default values in respect to 4k people who could have already hypothetically built their closed wood systems in their factories.

This mod was created way before SA come to life and let's be honest 90% of players just blow the forest with grenades so wood was never a super valuable resource that we'd care too much of being imbalanced. Modded factorio is always about some imbalance and most of the time you avoid doing some imbalance things not because "game does not allow you" but because you personally think it is wrong and refrain from doing them.

Also, why adding stone? I see no value in making capsules more expensive because SA already allows you simply craft wood into saplings directly even without water.

Added settings.
- grow time made 600 max (10 minutes, same as SA wood grow rate according to wiki)
- saplings max 3 wood per 4 saplings, otherwise it becomes simply unusable
- charcoal min 1 - max 10 per one wood

Ok, you've made some really good points that I hadn't thought about.
For the imbalance point, that's the reason why I think settings are a good addition to the mod; anybody can modify most mods to fit their modpack.
I mentioned stone because I was thinking that growing trees from just coal instantly felt "unrealistic" ^^. Also, because you can mine a tree for 4 wood using 2 saplings, which bypasses the greenhouse timing or crafting. You get less wood, but with long crafting times, it's faster without automation.

Perfect, I'm really impressed that you made the change so quickly. Thanks a lot for your work!

No problem ^^

Capsules do not let you to automate things, so it's fair trade of your personal time)
