Early WIP, Unstable

is there a way to turn off berry vernalization?

Herbarium and this mod conflict heavily, to the point of spamming the error log to the point playing is impossible.

Typical error:

21.5.2025 14:11:21 [Error] Exception: Unable to cast object of type 'Ehm93.VintageStory.CropsV2.BEBehaviorBerryChilling' to type 'Vintagestory.GameContent.BEBehaviorBerryPlant'.

I just wanted to say that I love these kinds of “realistic” mods — they kind of remind me of Truth and Beauty: Detailed Animals.

I hope this mod keeps evolving, and I’ll definitely be using it in my playthrough.

Herbarium and this mod conflict

If we only get one berry bush harvest per year now, could we get a somewhat larger harvest (30-50%?) to help balance their usefulness out? They still spoil after all, forcing you to use them/juice them anyway.

Plus a config value for that bonus amount would make a lot of people happy, too.

Emmett_chef What sort of list would you like? The modded crops I currently have are from Floral Zones series, as well as the wildcraft melons I suppose, which mirror vanilla pumpkins in their behavior. I can compose a list of which of the floral zones add crops, if that's what you're looking for.

Vigilance I haven't tested with any other crop mods (or xSkills) yet. If you have a list I could take a look.

Does this work with modded crops and pumpkins/melons? I've been using it so far for my "normal" crops, and I have noticed some oddities (some plants lose their generation when I plant them, and something seems to break the xskills trait that jumps generations)

I agree with Wildejackson. Would be neat if after harvesting the tilled soil became some other untilled block (for visual distinction and to conserve the nutrient info) where you need to till again before replanting. In Vanilla more advanced hoes are basically useless, though your weeds addition also help a ton.

You've made a ton of progress in a short amount of time! This is really shaping up to be something impressive with some already interesting features. Might do some testing and add it to my server.

Thanks for implementing my suggestion, btw!

Strange request but is it possible to impliment re-hoeing land? I find it absolutly absurd that you till the ground one time and somehow its just always tilled now

This combined with some of the functionality from CAN Crops would be amazing.

Zealk definitely where I want to take this! I'm considering the "generation" feature a rough placeholder to simulate selective breeding while I get the prereqs implemented.

how about selective breeding? Each crop has a bunch of diffrent stats. Hardiness, yield... flavor? idk what that would do but you get it. each generation has a stat increase by 1, maybe more. heck as difficult as it would probably be to program, could add unlockable crops where when some get the right stats they become something new.

SynthWave you can add this mod to (or remove it from) an existing world without major issue. Existing crops already planted in the ground may be missing some of the new behavior though until they grow a bit.

hello, does this mod work on existing worlds/already planted crops?

Good idea with weed and hoe, at least would be reasonable to craft hoe better than stone.

I hope that this mod will be further developed.

Especially I'm waiting for seeds crafted from crops, that s silly when plant drops bags with seeds, also there is excess of thousand of seeds in the later stage of game.

I propose to create 10 seeds from:

knife (-1 durability)

10 crops

1 linen

Such recipe makes sense for almost all crops (if we consider bulbs and roots as general concept of seeds), except of cabbage.

In case of pumpkins (which are hard to cultivate) it would be reasonable to get seeds as a side product of cutting to slices.Same with pineapple.

nice mod ! im thinking too, in original VS, why does hail doesnt destroy crop ? it should be a logical effect. a way to protect them would be to put a tarpaulin on it to "minimize effect".
anyhow i like the idea of weeds, looking foward i might add it to my server. Looking promising ! 

Keeping an eye on this, this sounds very interesting especially Pestilence on the roadmap.

crumps I'd say use at your own risk at this stage. I'd call this mod unstable until further notice. I haven't put any effort into integration or compatibility yet.

Does anyone know if there is compatibility with this and other plant-related mods such as wildcraft herbs and spices, floral zones, new world foods, and more? I'm curious to add this but unsure if it'll glitch

Mackeroni have good idea, not only realistic, but also allow to limit exponential growth. Currently, the bigger farm you have, the bigger crops, bigger farm etc, finally you will run out of chests to store seeds and grains.

High generation crops should give better harvest reward, but should be more vulnerable to pests and diseases. 

I would sort of like to see the opposite in terms of hazards to your crops. Early generations have lower yield, but are hardier to weeds, droughts and pestilence. And reversed for later generations.

Think of it how in real life, crop diversity changed drastically over time as farmers started selecting more and more for yield.

If you're really good at modding and plan to stick with this for a while, you could probably implement some sort of system that lets the player try to select different strains over time that each have different strengths and weaknesses.

Edit: Oooo, he implemented my idea! :)

Would be interesting if there were randomized attributes for spawned crops, so that you would have to scavenge for high yields or high resilience (for a variety of factors), that way not all seeds you find will be the same and you can crossbreed and artificially select for those attributes. 

Intresting Idea

What a great idea, I'll be checking on this a bunch to see how far you go
