    Things to do:

    1. Add plants for the rest of the object items in the game.
    2. Continue to look for more changes that were made in recent updates.
    There shouldn't be too much more left to do after that.

    thefriendlyinsomniac's showcase:



    Step By Step Guide:

    Step 1: At the Infinity Express buy a Seed Machine for 1000 pixels.
    Step 2: Use the seed machine to convert:
    1 - weapon, tool, mining tool or fishing rod into their seeds.
    1 - produce into a tier 0 produce seed.
    10 - most items and materials (that are supported) into their seeds.
    10 - ores into a tier 0 ore seed.
    10 - liquids into a tier 0 liquid seed.
    Step 3: Plant seeds on tilled ground. (There are hanging seeds and wall seeds as well)
    Step 4: Water, wait and harvest! (Wait time is based on the rarity of the item being harvested)
    Step 5: At the Infinity Express buy a Seed Converter or Seed Upgrade Market for 1000 pixels.
    Step 6: Use the Seed Converter or the Seed Upgrade Market to upgrade your ore seeds five times, your liquid seeds four times, and your compound, produce and food seeds once. Each additional seed tier is unlocked by creating (or picking up) the previous tier's seed. (There is also secret ultimate upgrades!)

    FAQ:

    • What do I use to create the random generating weapon plants? Try your racial weapons or some of the random weapons that you end up picking up in the game.
    • Why are my randomly generating weapons underpowered? The level of your generated weapons are determined by the level of the planet they are generated on. Your ship world is level 0, so expect to reap very weak weapons from your ship's garden.
    • How do I upgrade my seeds? Go to the Infinity Express at the Outpost and buy an Seed Converter. Use this converter to update your liquids, ore, produce, food, money and compound seeds. You can't upgrade other seeds. I don't have any plans on creating upgraded version of other plants.
    • Why should I update my plants? Tier 2-4 doubles the drops for each additional ore and liquid seed upgrade. However, the resource cost to upgrade increases for each of those additional tiers substantially. This might be worth the cost if you would like a more compact farm. Alternatively, planting more of the initial seeds is already pretty effective.
    • Why are there no seed drops? All plants are persistent, so you can keep harvesting without replanting and collecting seeds. Use the seed machine to make more seeds. Use the seed converter to upgrade your ore and liquid seeds. Alternatively, you can add rare seed drops on liquid and ore seeds by using the seed drop addon.
    • Is this mod balanced? All growth rates for plants are based on its drop's rarity level. Common and Uncommon plantables are going to grow faster then vanilla plants. Rare plantables have about the same growth rate as most vanilla plants. Legendary plantables are about double the growing time as vanilla plants. If there is anything else you feel is too overpowered just give me a shout and I'll take another look at it.
    • Do all of the plants need tilled ground? Maids do not need tilled ground. A maid shouldn't really. Also there are hanging plants that just need a ceiling to hang from. Many of the ceiling plants glow, so feel free to use them as hanging lamps! There are also background plants that attach to any background material.
    • Do these plants need to be watered? Yes! Mostly. The liquid plants don't need to be watered. Any plant that doesn't need tilled ground doesn't need to be watered as well. With all the great automated watering systems being added, both by talented modders and within the vanilla game, I felt that this might be a good time to enable the watering mechanics for these plants.
    • Is FrackinUniverse compatible? Yes. FU ore and liquids are supported. I won't be supporting any of the other FU resources in this mod. Why? Because, adding any more might hurt its crafting balance.
    • Will you add support for other mods? Probably not. Sorry. Why? Mostly because there's still a lot more work to be done with just the vanilla assets. I also don't play with a lot of other mods other than FU that adds additional resources to the game, so the work that it would take to support other mods isn't very appealing to me. I make exceptions though.
    • Can I use this mod with the Unstable and Nightly branches? Sometimes, but not always. Sorry. This mod is made for and tested in the Stable branch. As the Nightly branch changes nightly, mods will often break. The main Unstable branch as well will eventually implement new mechanics which will require very massive updates to existing mods. Most mod authors thus will stick just with the Stable branch. I'm inclined to do the same, though if you give me a shout about a break on those branches I'll be happy to look into seeing what it might take to get it to work again.
    • How do I get the secret ultimate seeds? To get the recipe just create or pickup one of the seeds that the recipe calls for. For instance, the ultimate ore seed will unlock when you pickup any tier 4 ore seed. The recipe then calls for all of the tier 4 ore seeds. You then craft it in the Seed Converter just like any other seed upgrade.

    Warning:

    This mod includes "point lights" for every light source added in the mod. Expect a frame rate drop for those that are making big farms and aren't playing on a higher end machine. I am unwilling to make a more performance friendly version at this point. There is an alternative solution for those getting hit with frame rate drops from this though. A hard handed fix would be to disable point light shadows altogether, thus making this mod and the rest of the game much more performance friendly for you, though also slightly less attractive.

    I made a quick mod for anyone that is interested in this heavy-handed performance fix:
    No Shadows

    Works great. Didn't expect the balance to be great given the premise but it actually seems to mesh well with the vanilla progression.

    I JUST realized I never put a review down.
    I love this mod, so much so I ended up making a cheated version of the mod. greenRAM was so nice to put a link in the description to my mod. It's basically a mod of a mod.
    Personally, I hope our mods don't stop working... ever. Love both of 'em!

    Great mod, but very OP. There is one thing you can get very early game and convert to seed. After an hour of gameplay you will have a lot of seeds of this thing and it will give you LOADS of money. It is better than moneyseed. Warning spoiler dont read!!!
    This thing is reward bag. Earn some, convert to seeds, grow some, make more seeds, after hour of gameplay you will have full inventory of reward bags. Opening them all gives you huge amount of money

      Author's Response
      That's true. I tend to play on short bursts with perma-death so anything that helps speed up progression without skipping any aspects of the game altogether feels balanced to me. There are a lot of OP exploits in this mod similar to the one you mentioned.

    Love it! I like to try to make mining dungeons that go deep into high tier planets so the deeper you go the better ore plants are at higher tiers I also use action spawners to create trap rooms.

      Sounds like something is broken. Care to let me know what it is in the "Discussions" tab? I don't have a lot of time to spare on gaming or mods right now, so whatever information can speed up the process in updating this would be appreciated.
