Doesn't work anymore

Unknown, oh cool, I've wanted an option to stop the saplings and just get the flowers for ages. :) If this stays, I'd resubscribe.

No longer spawns trees after halloween update.

this its the best mod i could ever found it whil be usefull with another mod that add a caracter that get 20 sanity when he pick uq a evil flower

whenever i try to chop a tree made by this mod i get the error here: https://pastebin.com/upjASvkF its only the trees from this mod, any other trees chop fine, and the flowers made from this mod work fine, its just the pine trees

Can you add a configuration option for "Lumpy Evergreens" only also? It seems a bit more balanced that the trees that spawn around it cant drop pinecones. Its also more lore friendly (dead trees)!

I see you have fixed it, yay, thanks!

Can you add a configuration option to turn off tree spawning and just keep evil flower spawning?

Crashes have been fixed!

To Author and server owners:

You can fix this by opening the mods modmain.lua.
Go to line 56 and replace it with
local tree = GLOBAL.SpawnPrefab("pinecone_sapling")
Then go to line 58 and replace it with
tree.Transform:SetPosition(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z)

Done, should be working, at least works for me.

I'm hoping a fix comes out soon. I was kind of actually hoping to use this, it looks interesting

Klei has had a number of changes in the game via the updates and now when crafting and placing the Totally Normal Tree it crashes the server. Here is the error log: http://pastebin.com/UAymiX6y

I had a crash with this mod today while I crafted a pickaxe, could not screen print though but I will unsubscribe for a while

Mein Freund sagt dass der Baum aussieht, wie Eichelkäse ! :)

very nice!

@afetogbo: No problem!
@seronis: Oh, well I totally missed that! I ended up writing my own spawning algorithm which inside uses some spawning mechanism somewhere in the game utils files.

Its what lureplants use to spawn the eyeballs around them. It can automate spawn locations and numbers with just a few variables being set. That way you dont need to worry about the math for placement. Its written to be very specific to the eyeballs but isnt hard to modify for other purposes.

I added this to my server recipe mod which is public right now.
please let me know if you would like me to hide it.

@seronis: I don't think I used anything other than reference from DST's source code. What's the minion component?

Oh nice to see another one of these. I used to have my own version of this one once (for single player). Do you use the minion component for yours ? Either way thumbs up and might check it out later

Ah I misread. If you need tons of evil flowers though, making a farm using a Totally Normal Tree from this mod is totally doable: Plant one, wait until you get 6+ evil flowers, chop all trees around (including Totally Normal Tree), release 4+ bees, wait until they pollinate the flowers.

nice mod anyways :) excessive pinecones are great fuel

I'm talking about spawning evil flower only though, because the trees usually end up taking all the avaliable space, so no evil flower can spawn unless I take time to chop chop; while ruins I can just lure every shadow monster around until nightmare cycle ends and boom lots of fuel.

It does spawn evil flowers!

I kind of hope it can spawn evil flowers only though, because ruins aren't here yet :(

Sent!

I saw your comment, while I went and reported the mod after your additional information to which I agreed.

Benefit of the doubt entirely cancelled by that person now.


On a totally different subject: TheSun, you seem a nice person, no idea how often you get random friend requests thrown at you simply for being a person who makes mods, but if you want to be friends, please send me one. :)

...And my comment saying it's an exact copy is deleted! I would like to redirect visitors to go ahead and report the fake copy of my mod at https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=398404105

Yeah, and there's also links to originals if it's an extended version, plus asking permission to use the original.

Despite that, I have indeed seen mods that were uploaded solely because some group needed a "tweaked" version of another mod for server-hosting purposes or playing with friends, but the original author is not able to provide such tweaking mechanism.

In that case though, it's usually marked something like "please disregard this mod".

Ok, with that information I agree. :)

I do agree that it's possible that someone learning could be uploading copies of other mods while modifying it. Except looking at the person's mod list, it appears to have a copy of another mod "Craftable Krampus Sac", named something like "NEW Version", in which his own comments were "pls press button like". This behavior doesn't seem benign.

I just downloaded the mod. It seems to be an exact copy, removed the images (I include my preview images in the mod folder, which were ~3.74MB), changed the name & version.

All other assets remained exactly the same, including modmain & prefabs.

Yes, I saw it seems to be exact copy, going by the screenshots, except renaming would not excuse file size difference from your 3.770 MB to their 0.027 MB

Maybe the screenshots is all there is.

If it needs more than 1 report to have it taken down, I'll of course join. I just think an accident while learning is the most likely explanation.

I see you added another comment while I was typing. With that stuff gone, maybe they deleted it to NOT steal it. :)

Hmm that's weird. I think the copy stripped away the assets (images, textures, etc) that I created (edited from Klei's originals), so that mod will have some things not working right.

@Mickmane: File size has to be different, since they'd at least change the mod name and author name. Given that even the images are copied directly, I doubt it's an accident trying to learn, as this kind of behavior has been observed a few times on workshop.

I would also love if there's a good way to privately upload mods for testing with others & dedicated servers. You could set the "Visibility" option once it's uploaded, but I haven't tried how well it works.

Does it need more than one person reporting it?

File size doesn't match, though. Maybe it's just an accident in trying to learn how to do mods?

Is there a way to privately upload a mod (to test how that works)?

Just curious. :)

(I'm working on my own mod, slowly, and would like a way to upload it friends-only when it's ready, so they can test it before the masses get to see it. Would be easier than a non-Steam up/download.)

@afetogbo Looks like it. Please all report the mod. Thanks!

did this guy rip you off?
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=398404105

Ok, makes sense.

Thanks for the reply. :)

That's the way to do it, I think. Using this mod, though, you could spawn evil flowers closer to base and reproduce them using bees once you have at least 6. Besides, there's no limit on how many Totally Normal Trees you can get (provided you chop enough trees to spawn Tree Guards, kill them, use the living logs to make more Totally normal trees, rinse & repeat)

About spawning more Totally Normal Trees, I think that would be a little bothersome for some players since it would technically mean Totally Normal Trees will be able to claim the entire map, or spread uncontrollably given enough time. (Also since some of them are generated at the beginning, you will get a lot of them eventually)

I read about evil flowers spawned by bees on the wiki, but don't quite get how to do it. I capture bees with a bugnet and free them near flowers I want spread?

That could be a spot a long way from home.

More Totally Normal Trees would be fun to have around too. :)

@Mickmane: Hmm that's interesting. The original idea was to use the Totally normal tree to plant forests for you so you can be lazy. Trees don't spread by themselves and you have to remember to replant them. Evil flowers can be spread using bees very quickly, given you have an area with at least 6 of them.

This looks neat.

An idea, if you don't mind:

I'd prefer to have plain trees and Evil Flowers reversed. Or skip the usual trees and just a small chance to spawn another Totally Normal Tree, and a bigger chance to spawn Evil Flowers around.

(The usual trees are rather easy to plant, after all.)

thank you!

Updated! Now it will regenerate evil flowers at a slower rate. This is optional and can be disabled via configuration.

evil flowers are awesome and i always run out of them, so you could probably add a configuration mod to determine the probability of the things the tree spawns around itself

How interesting, I have to give this a try!

np :3

@tricksmaster: That sounds great!

can you give it a very low chance of spawning evil flowers?
