Compost Material

Run out of all the NPK fertilizer you were able to scavenge?
Already composted all the leftover perishables in the area?

This mod adds organic byproduct when harvesting plants, for sustained composter use.

You can never create enough compost for a garden though, using only that same garden area.
For this mod, the math works out to where 13 seed-bearing harvests (on average) will yield enough byproduct material for 1 bag of compost (4 fertilizations).


Compatibility:
Soul Fitcher's Farming Time, More Common Seed Types, and Irrigation Pipes are all compatible. Not sure about Hydrocraft (see below).

In order for this to work in MP (have access to the right playerID), the game's farming commands are completely overwritten with identical copies (+ the lines to add organic material).
This means any mod that adds a new farming command, or edits an existing farming command, will take issue with this mod.


Note:
I chose not to add the Remove Grass / Bush / Vines commands to this mod, as these are part of a list of 40-something commands that I don't feel comfortable overriding, as opposed to farming's separate list of 9 commands (3 of which are modified here).
This all could be done without the overrides (implemented at a lower level that doesn't have access to playerID), but would only work for single player (by defaulting to playerID=0 when giving items).


Fun Fact:
The hunger value of a given perishable determines how much compost it produces in a composter bin.
Calories, carbohydrates, etc have no effect. Weight only factors into the storage limit of the bin.
