Outdated Persistent Farmables 1.03 EK 20140228

I would like to see something similar to what Minecraft does with harvesters. It would need to be an expensive mechanism that would involve crafting, and I think it should also have multiple upgradeable steps so that it can improve its speed and efficiency over time.

I'd also like to see a use for all of the excess crops, because some crops like Boltbulb, Eggshoot, Feathercrown, etc. multiply so rapidly that you end up holding hundreds more than you can possibly use. Of course I just stop harvesting them at that point, but it would be neat to see some use for the excess. I am currently planning to open a restaurant, but that's really just an RP necessity since most people can realistically get by with the raw alien meat they find lying around villages and chests, and maybe growing some wheat or a fast-growing crop of that sort.

 

There's a biofuel mod being worked on (has versions out, but it's gonna get more features/items etc added) that you could use for your surplus, too? I know I plan to install it. It deactivates coal for fuel usage, but I found that a bit weird anyway.

 

Yes, I saw that. I don't know how it will work, but I'm intrigued.

 

I've just worked on combing this mod with industrialization. Just tested it and I think it's good to go! Let me know what you think (drag and drop contents of zip to mod file)

 

Good job. You seem to have got it correct. JTE approves.

 

Will this work with mods that reduce growth time for crops?

 

Probably. It depends on how they do it. I didn't hardcode any growth times into this, it reads them from the vanilla farmable table. Let me know what happens? :catface2:

 

Well, it works with Farmtime by soler91.

 

It happened that I did it too.

To JTE: I am sorry that I did not asked your permission to publish my small add-on.

 

It would have been nice to let me know you were working on it so that I could put it on the mod's page and three other people wouldn't get stuck making the same thing.

 

Are you a wizard?

 

Yes.

 

Thank you so much for this. I was almost going to shelf this game because healing in the end game is impossible without good food. I do not like to have to alt tab to browse facebook or other forums trying to find something to keep myself occupied while my apex sits around watching plants grow.

 

Such a simple yet useful mod! Just did a showcase for my subs on YouTube!

 

I assume you're working on this already, but just in case you aren't, could you please do an update for Furious Koala? The mod no longer works with the new patch.

 

It works good for me. Just need to open the modinfo and change the version name. All my crops grew while I had the game shut down (on my home planet). I changed the real time setting in the LUA.

Code:

"version" : "Beta v. Furious Koala",

 

JTE updated Persistent Farmables with a new update entry:

Furious Koala update.

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

So I'm guessing they did not implement your mod, and they did not fix what they call a "bug" for a while? -.-

Even more now, pretty damn awesome mod man!

 

They did not even consider including my mod as far as I know, and I am uncertain whether or not their farmables work correctly now.

Just in case anyone wants to continue using my mod, I'll continue updating it for a while.
If nothing else, the realtime option will still be unique, allowing crops to grow even while the game is closed. So there is that.

 

Sorry, i don't mean to offend someone, but i'm not exactly sure how to handle the .pak file in the updated zip.
As there is no installation instruction included in the readme and no modinfo file, where am i supposed to put the
jte_farming-rt.pak to?
