IRDP's Wet Crops Mod

<p><span style="color: #2dc26b;"><em><strong>Note - </strong>Saves with pre-1.2.0 versions should now be compatible with the newest release. Please back up any worlds you cherish, however, and report any issues if you find them.</em></span><br /><br />A simple mod that adds a number of new crops to the game, thematically-connected by being very moisture-dependent plants (although this has no effect on their moisture use, as this is just a content mod). Although this mod was originally developed with MiraLeaps' <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/53770" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paddy Fields</a> in mind, it functions normally without it (<em>and the current compatibility is a bit jank</em><em>, I'll admit</em>).<br /><br /><span style="color: #18a085;"><strong>CROPS:</strong></span></p> <ul> <li><span style="color: #18a085;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>African Rice</strong> <em>(Oryza glaberrima</em>) - <strong>K</strong> - a variant of rice with somewhat lower yields and nutrient use. Otherwise, very similar to it's close relative in the vanilla (asian) rice.<br /></span></span></li> <li><span style="color: #18a085;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Wild Rice</strong> <em>(Zizania</em> sp.) - <strong>K</strong> - a hardier, taller rice, it isn't as satiating as the other varieties. Still, it consumes comparitively little from the soil and can survive in far colder climates than <em>Oryza</em> rices.</span></span></li> <li><span style="color: #18a085;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Taro</strong> <em>(Colocasia esculenta</em>) - <strong>N</strong> - a warm-climate root vegetable from South-Southeast Asia with a now very wide distribution, taro crops offer two food items; the corms (which can be processed similar to cassava), and the stems (which act like any old vegetable).</span></span></li> <li><span style="color: #18a085;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Watercress</strong> (<em>Nasturtium officinale</em>) -&nbsp;<strong>N</strong> - Small and fast-growing, watercress is a heat-sensitive crop that is best raised in temperate climates and away from Summer (<a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/shadehouse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">or with some way to alleviate the heat...</a>). A good supplement, in many cases, though simply not filling or productive enough to work as a mainstay crop generally.</span></span></li> <li><strong><span style="color: #18a085;"><span style="color: #000000;">Water</span></span></strong><span style="color: #18a085;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> Spinach/Kangkung&nbsp;</strong>(<em id="mwCw">Ipomoea aquatica</em>) -&nbsp;<strong>N&nbsp;</strong>- A tropical leafy green, kangkung grows quickly but is very sensitive to cold and isn't particularly productive. Fills a similar niche to watercress, just for when the weather is toastier.</span></span></li> <li><span style="color: #18a085;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Water Chestnut</strong> (<em>Eleocharis dulcis</em>) -&nbsp;<strong>K</strong> - Found in warmer climates, the chinese water chestnut is a good-yielding vegetable crop, though it is very cold-sensitive and takes relatively long to mature.</span></span></li> <li><span style="color: #18a085;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Wasabi</strong> (<em>Eutrema japonicum</em>) -&nbsp;<strong>N&nbsp;</strong>- A rare plant with a strong flavour, wasabi is difficult to find and grow but provides both vegetables in the form of its stems, as well as a spice from its rhizomes. Shavings of wasabi root can be added to stews and soups, adding not only some satiation but also healing to the meal.</span></span></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #f1c40f;"><strong>OTHER PLANTS:</strong></span></p> <ul> <li><strong><span style="color: #18a085;"><span style="color: #000000;">Sacred Lotus</span></span></strong><span style="color: #18a085;"><span style="color: #000000;"> (<em>Nelumbo nucifera</em>) - beyond being a very pretty flower, loti have edible rhizomes and have long been subjects of human agriculture. Lotus spawns in small amounts throughout the world in appropriate climates, offering a source of decorative flowers and a one-time offer of lotus roots. If Paddy Fields is active, they may be farmed as a crop (<strong>P</strong>)<strong>.</strong> Lotus does not spawn as a usual crop, its seeds having to either be purchased from an agriculture trader or obtained from wild-spawning loti flowers with a knife. Surprisingly versatile in tolerated climates, lotus is also a rather low-nutrient demand crop - something of a turnip of the paddies. Excellent for rotation with rice or taro, but will not grow on non-flooded farmland.</span></span></li> <li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Yellow Lotus&nbsp;</span></strong><span style="color: #000000;">(<em>Nelumbo lutea</em>) - the only other extant lotus species, the yellow or american lotus can be found in the world as a flower to collect in small patches. It also gives edible rhizomes when first foraged wild, but otherwise serves only as a decorative plant. Feel free to put either of the loti in pots or planters - it works!</span></li> <li><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Water Caltrops</strong> (<em>Trapa</em> sp.) - a widespread Old World aquatic plant, water caltrops offer a source of vegetable forage in your worlds. Their fruits must be roasted before being eaten, but function as a basic vegetable. If Paddy Fields is active, you might get seeds from wild caltrops allowing you to farm them (<strong>K</strong>). Though yields are not high and it isn't a versatile food choice, they grow quickly and at little cost to the soil.</span></li> <li><strong>Makhānā/Fox Nuts</strong> (<em>Euryale ferox</em>) - A South- and East-Asian lily, this prickly-looking plant's seeds are quite protein-rich and should supplement any bog-dweller's diet well if found. These nuts must be roasted to be eaten or cooked as well. With Paddy Fields, it may be raised a
