Less Productive Crops

<p>Vanilla farming can be a little too productive for many, this mod aims to make farming a little slower with some rebalancing to crop numbers.</p> <p>Default growth time is pretty close to realistic, so only slight alterations have been made to most crops, generally just making certian things like cabbages take significantly longer while things like onion and carrot are relitively unchanged, An outlier is pineapple which now requires an entire year to grow, you will definately need a hot enviroment to keep them alive this long.</p> <p>Seed production has been lowered to 5% chance per crop to get a second seed, this is where vanilla used to be in earlier versions, getting addittional seeds now takes a long time, you had best explore or trade for them. In addittion partially grown crops only have a 30% chance of dropping a seed, while the first stage of growth should have 100% drop just in case you misplant, or in other words you may transplant wild seedlings if they are in the earliest growth stage :)</p> <p>And finally nutrient requirements have been raised, in some cases significantly, I have noticed that in default settings with long months many crops will barely take more nutrients than will naturally recover, almost making crop rotation unneeded so this is intended to fix this. Some long growth crops have very high requirements, more than medium soil even has, but considering the growth time you should still able to grow them in that, albiet slower as growth speed does drop as nutrients are drained.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>----Thoughts for future versions----</p> <p>I made this mod back when 1.17 launched and the numbers seemed about right, but I may still consider lowering production slightly. I definately need to take a look at fruit trees next, they seem to be rather excessively productive. Berries maybe, but they dont bother me so much as they dont last too long, while the entire stack of apples you get from one tree will literally last a year in storage.</p>
