Hi, I love this mod and im useing it in my public server, "The empire of 10 lives". But I'm having an issue i think. I havent ever gotten seeds from vegitables. They give back wild turnips, for example, but never turnip seeds. Is there a way to configure the rate of getting seeds from vegitables? it works fine with rye, spelt, flax, ect. Thank you for your time and thank you for making this mod!

Great mod, thanks for your work on this!  Is there a possibility of adding customizable configuration for your mod?  For instance, to increase the amount of time a crop stays "fresh".  As it is, it's very hard to be online in a multiplayer game long enough to properly process flax for instance.  Thanks!

I cannot for the life of me figure out how the hell I'm supposed to dry grain. The mod discription says they'll spoil in your inventory or a container and to put them into haystacks but I can find zero references to this in the survival handbook and this is mentioned no where else in the mod page. I have lost 3 harvests to spoilage while trying desperately to get them to dry.

when will the threshing amount be decreased? Also I tried increasing the growth months for your seed varieties but it didn't seem to stick. Is it hard coded and cannot be patched?

Honestly, I don't know what is happening, but I my game gets crashed always I tresh the crops, like I am treshing for example spelt, and after some treshed crops(Randomly) my game get crash. Like i can tresh those, but i need to turn on my game several times after crashes.

Something I would love is if farmland required being turned over after a crop. Oviously irl this is important but in the game we desperatly need a reason to use hoes more because it makes no sense how little use that tool gets

Hey I have no idea what the "haystack" you're referring too? Is it a special block added by your mod is it the existing hay grass block that is made from dry grass? I have added your mod to our server Forlorn Returned and I need to teach myself how to properly play with your mod so I can teach new players how to farm using Art of Growing. This is a great idea for a mod because it makes farmers more important! Thank you!

Привет! Я совсем не понимаю, о каком "стоге сена" вы говорите? Это специальный блок, добавленный вашим модом, или это существующий блок сухой травы? Я добавил ваш мод на наш сервер Forlorn Returned, и мне нужно научиться правильно играть с вашим модом, чтобы я мог научить новых игроков, как заниматься фермерством с использованием "Искусства выращивания". Это отличная идея для мода, потому что он делает фермеров более важными! Спасибо

Awesome! This is something I always desired to be in the game, will wait until other crops are done though.

Additional idea: root/bulb plants require hoe, not knife/scythe, to harvest with full efficiency. Currently, making hoe better than flint one, is rather unfounded.

Omg, I really made it so that 16 ears of wild crops were needed to get seeds. Now I see that this is not a good solution. As soon as I get to the PC, I'll fix it. In the future, it will be possible to get seeds from one bunch, but more wild seeds will be needed to get cereals. I will release a patch in about a week.

Hi! There is one thing I can't seem to figure out. I have dried my first few measly raw ears of grain in haystacks, but now that they're dry I can't do anything with them. Nothing happens when I sit down and right click (there is only a rustling sound). Does processing a haystack require a certain amount of raw ears to be in the stack? Or am I doing something wrong? These are my first few ears of wild flax and rye, so I was hoping to process them to get more seeds.

I'd also love to see some more in depth info on the processes of the mod in the in game Handbook/Guidebook (for confused brains like mine ;p).

Thank you for making a super cool mod!

Very good idea for the mod.

About cereals separation - would be nice to have flail (working also as a weak weapon) to speed up this work, or even late game tresher (with iron parts) using windmill power.

What do you mean? That grain is made from a bunch of flax in the recipe, and flax fibers are obtained as a by-product? If it's just that, then I don't see much of a problem, but in any case, I delved a little deeper into the history of flax and the process of making linen fabric... Well, whatever you mean, I really intend to think about bringing the process a little closer fiber extraction to real. This should complicate it, but how much depends on what I consider to be a sufficient level of convention 😁

Very interesting and watching closely!

That said, I can't agree with the changes to flax. Historically, flax was grown for its fiber. If anything, I'd argue the grain is the by-product.

Fedarmen Completely understandable! Just tossing around thoughts here for the future. It's always nice seeing mods touching up on different aspects of the game, but they should always focus on themselves first. Compability is a secondary, non-obligatory thing that can be done, but is not needed to enjoy a mods content. Been there and done that in other modding scenes, ex. terraria.

As for compatibility - yes, peeled vegetables are the vanilla vegetables in vogue. This is essentially just a replacement of the model and name, the code does not change. So compatibility with the same Expanded foods mod should be normal even now. But I haven't tested it yet and I don't know when I'll get around to compatibility, especially with this mod - to be honest, I don't really like it and I'd prefer not to look back at it and Culinary Artillery and not depend on them. Perhaps in the future I would like to develop my mod into some kind of alternative to these mods (but right now it's too ambitious, so I didn't say anything 😅)

At the moment I'm making content based on vanilla models/textures/code, so all I need right now is time. But in the future I have a desire to do more and go deeper into coding new mechanics - for example, growing seedlings before planting and immersive cooking on a kitchen board (without heat treatment - salads, sandwiches, etc.). And it’s with coding that I might need help, because it will be something new and unknown for me.

Following this mod with great interest! Hope that compatability with others won't be too much of a problem, but you never know. Given that ex. Expanded foods inherit nutritional values from the parent products, maybe one could find a way to code the wild or cultivated variants of crops so that they are recognized in the recipes, like a common key or ID etc.? Maybe peeled variants of vegetables = normal vegetable in other mods?

Regardless, mods like this and ex. "In Dappled groves" by VinterNacth really add to the immersion to me, as they both make the game more difficult/realistic by raising the bar for getting certain resources, resources that would often be way too easy to get in other games (ex. minecraft), but also rewards you for engaging with the mods content thoroughly (Ex. getting more resources than in current vanilla VS). And despite that, there's usually a caveat for getting more of said resource, like cultivated crops requiring more fertilizers and growing time.

Exited to see what this will evolve into :).

If someone wanted to pitch in to help with this; what sorts of things would you want/need?

Absolutely amazing! I wished for some, even basic, crop cultivation in a base game, so I started to develop my own mod where I planned to add new crops and wild varieties that have to be cultivated. Very similar to how you implemented this, but your implementation is definitely better! Very excited to see this mod flourish

Looks good, I might give it a try in a future run.

This seems very promising.

Fedarmen Thank you so much for keeping that in mind! I haven't found turnips yet (that gave me seeds) so I'll be learning with flax.

You can use an old save, but I recommend making a backup copy. All existing crops and seeds will be automatically converted to wild ones, you will not lose anything. However, compatibility with other mods has not been tested, so be careful with this (although, logically, any mods not related to food, crops and cultivation should work together without problems). I plan to maintain continuity of new versions of the mod so that you can continue to play in the same world with each subsequent update.

Do you recommend to start a new save during these early updates? Thank you for the update, by the way.

I LOVE THIS!!! i wished basegame had this for the longest time! you've got my support :)

Oh man, this looks fantastic. It's going to make l33tman pull his hair out, but still!

Love it, I look forward to seeing your work flourish

PeterSanderson

Thanks for your feedback! I don’t quite fully understand your proposal (sorry, English is not my native language and the translator apparently does not translate it quite correctly), but it seems like you are proposing to make seed ripening possible only at a certain temperature? If so, then at the moment it’s technically difficult for me, since it requires writing custom code, and so far I’m only doing a content mod. And from the point of view of the idea, it seems to me that this is too much of a complication. Vanilla dependence on temperature suits me quite well at the moment.

In any case, thank you for your comment!

Following with great interest. I love the concept and was hoping to do something like it but I am a long way from having the skills. Ordinarily when the top temperature exceeds what a plant can tolerate, the crop withers. I wonder is there a way, since you are adding extra growing stages to the turnip, to have two critical hot temperatures? When it gets to the first temperature, say 30 C for turnips, it "bolts" or changes to produce seeds So at 30 C it accelerates its growth stage. Ideally you could set it at a stage each day at 30+ and 3 days of 30 it goes to 8. That also simulates how turnips become less desirable to eat in sustained temps over 30 C.

Following for now, very much interested to see how this goes

This looks amazing!

I think l33tman might shit himself if this becomes popular though.

More recipes.

OMG this looks so coool!
yeah, i'm all for this! please please please finish this

Hey, I was just talking about this idea with my friend the other day! Very excited to see where this mod goes!
