Plant genetics(Continued)

Adamas has passed this mod over to me to oversee and upkeep! The original mod will still work but it will no longer receive updates or patches.

Both mods are not needed, however removing mods mid-game is never advised as groovy things and bugs may appear, so proceed with caution in old play throughs. Always make back-ups!

Please find any relevant links to Adamas in the original mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3049746470

Github repo for the continued version: https://github.com/JamEstHamEst/PlantGenetics-Continued

Both versions are also compatible with my addon: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3498860333 (Cheeky plug I know)



"Plant breeding: the science of maximizing plants' positive genetic traits to produce desirable effects." this is the new research project that will be added by this mod.

When growing crops or flowerss you will occasionally notice a special trait on a plant (shown in the infopanel, when clicked a plant). This trait is not fully active yet, but you can create some clippings from that plant (if it is at least 50% grown) that will be stored in your potting bench.

Potting bench: it currently has one use: plant breeding. The clippings of the plant you just gathered can now be used to create your own plant species that will have the given trait. You can even give that species a crazy new name. When breeding is finished, you will get a message and you can now start growing this new plant.
Note that you can again have a trait/genetic modification on that new plant to make it even more powerful (currently the number of modifications is unlimited)

SeedsPlease lite (& SeedsPleaseLiteRedux) compatibility: the potting bench will generate a few seeds of the newly created plant species upon completion.

Vanilla Extended Plants compatibility: there is a known problem when trying to breed carrots and green beans: they won't grow.

Traits:
Productive: increases yield by 150%
Beautiful: increases beauty by 2x
Booming: decreases days to grow by 80%
Flexible: decreases minimum fertility and fertility sensitivity by half
Thriving: increases minimum fertility and fertility sensitivity by 30%
Resilient: halves the amount of light needed to grow, plant does not die from darkness or toxic fallout and is never affected by blight
Winter: plant will continue to grow at 100% in mild winter temperatures (from 6 to 0 degrees C) and never dies because of cold (at least not until -999C)
Glowing: plant will give some light, similar to a glowstool

All credit goes to the amazing work of Adamas! This mod can be taken down by the original author at any time.
