Description
31/12/2022 Reform: All vanilla plants now yield only one seed per crop harvested - for more seeds you need a 1-3 farming skill to extract them from the crops : the amount of seeds you get is based on your overall farming skill. Lowered XP from farming activities as well. Low level farmers have hard(Not super hard) time maintaining their seeds and are forced to focus on other food gathering areas.


Details.
  • Makes vanilla plants yield more realistically.
  • No more 10 cabbages from one small patch of land.
  • It also influences how much seeds you get from harvest.
  • Adjusted nutrition values to reflect plant yields and sizes.
  • You have to maintain your seed collection carefully now.
  • More Mildew Cure and Flies Cure recipes. Bottles last much longer too as you would have more farm patches.
  • Sack of compost also lasts two times as much as it did before.
  • Can craft an empty spray can from plastic bottles.
  • Seed trade support with my Dynamic Trading mod.

Works in MP and SP. Can be added to existing save.

Suggested mods :
Makes plants die with cold : Prepare for Winter

Project Realistic Overhaul - Set of mods I've created that will overhaul the vanilla game experience to be more hardcore and true to life, but on the other hand leaves you the option to make it through and survive. It makes items and actions have more value and makes the world more alive.

I second Muad'dib with realism. I rather have a plant grow what it does in real life and yields and seeds as in RL too. I understand that not all would want this though.

Do crops take a realistic time to grow with this mod? Example is I'm seeing on the wiki that it takes 10 days for cabbage to grow. But a simple google search shows 60-100 days for cabbage to grow depending on the variety. I understand not many people would play games the way I do but if a day is a real day in game, especially since playing the game it seems like it takes days for a freaken scratch to heal even with good medicine and bandages, then I should not be able to grow cabbages faster than I can heal a cut on my leg.

funny fact: if your world setting of farming abundance is 'very poor', with this mod you harvest nothing from cabbage plant without fertilizing it

It would be cool to see an option where seeds go bad, it would add an element of hardness to the game. Or an option to make it a higher level to extract

i can remove this mod from save?

Is it cool if we took the mod and added addons for it to add modded crops? Need a wide variety in my playthrough but it makes modded crops too OP and I would like them to remain.
Was thinking something like Hard Farmin: Mo' Crops Addon, stuff like that that way the user could write out the stuff they need for their mods and keeps you from having to keep track of a bunch of farm mods to make addons for.

i use "nearly" all of your mods they're all great ideas but what i believe is instead of working on all kinds of different mods you should focus only on some of them to make more polished mods. dont get me wrong even right now they're one of the best mods out there and sometimes more polished than some vanilla gameplay elements. i really love your work and the fact that you're doing it for free but since you spend too much of your time doing these things i just gave you a suggestion that might work better for you and us.

i wonder the reason behind your huge effort for modding, do you play the game with your mods?

thanks for your hard work <3

We're doing 7 days to die levels of farming huh?
In all seriousness, good work!

Glad you worked it out! And thank you!

I've found the culprit, it's Ultimate Farming Patch mod by pwrcosmic (ID: 2895419952). Removing the said mod fixes the crop growth system part.

This mod is great, just what we needed since Vanilla crop abundance is still giving a lot of crops and seeds per tile. I've also been using the other mods you've created, their concept is great. Keep up the good work.
