This mod introduces a simple game mechanic for propagating the reed plants tule, cattails, papyrus, and brown sedge. When the tops (not the roots) are harvested they have a 20% chance to drop a single root/plant in addition to their normal drops. Think of it as finding a new plant shoot in amongst the existing stems. This way you can gradually increase your crop without having to search far and wide looking for specimens to transplant.
This mod pairs well with the Zippy's Thatch Patch mod.
Version 2.0.0 changes:
-Recieved a few complaints about being inundated with too many roots when harvesting in bulk with a scythe, so added C# code to override default reed handling. Now reed tops only drop roots when harvested with a knife; not when harvested with a scythe.
-Slightly de-buff drop rates of roots from 0.20 down to 0.15.

Love this mod, but do you think it would be possible to make that scythe drop change a config file?

Feel free to alter the mod to your taste, but be aware that there is a reason why I didn't put the extra drops on harvesting the roots. It opens up an early-game exploit where you can essentially give yourself infinite food (in the form of cattail roots) by planting and harvesting the same cattail root over and over again without any delay while keeping any extra roots that drop. All it costs you is some knife durability. Putting the extra drop on the cattail top instead forces you to wait until the root has grown into a full plant before getting any extra drops.
ha! great minds think alike, lol. My mod does pretty much the same thing. I love your thatch patch though- nice job! I think i'll use that one for sure and make sure my mods are compatible with it :)
How easy is it to replant? I never figured that out in the game.
Stole your idea. Tweaked it, really. I didn't like the fact that scything reeds for skeps ends up with stacks of roots, so I put the extra drops on harvesting roots. You have to make the deliberate choice to do the slower harvesting of roots, and sometimes you get an extra one.
