Plants and Nutrition

This mod aims to fix some balance issues with the plants and food system in Stationeers. With that, you'll have a reason to take good care of your plants and to build a big greenhouse in your base, maybe even a pantry room to store some emergency food in case something goes wrong and your plants die.

In this mod, I tried to use Real World data as a base parameter, whenever possible. But BE WARNED, this will add new challenges to the game and will make it harder (but much more interesting). If you don't want that, don't use this mod!

(most things below can be adjusted in the config file, if you want to)

* The growth speed of some plants. Now they take longer to grow. See the table in the images for details.

* The amount of water plants consumes: In the stock game, plants take very little water to grow, this mod changes it so they take more water from the pipes per tick.

* Plants will transpirate some of the water consumed back to the atmosphere. By default they'll transpirate 25% of the consumed water back.

* The max food and water of the character: Now you can stay 5 game days without water and 16 game days without food before you start dying (Stationeers difficulty).

* The amount you have to eat and drink daily: You'll need to drink ~1 bottle of water per day (1 bottle = 1.86 Liters ingame) and eat 1 or 2 full cans of food (depending of the can) just to keep up with the Dehydration and Calories consumption rate.

* The amount of food/water you'll get after death/respawn (to avoid rewarding someone who dies with 100% resources). If you die or a new friend joins you, the character will respawn with food and water proportional to the days past in the save.

* The recipe and nutrition of some foods (see the table in the mod images). I tried to maintain the original recipes whenever possible, but in stock game, some recipes are quite unbalanced, take Bread for example, the vanilla recipe needs 200 flour and each wheat makes 5 flour so, to make a single bread, you needed to harvest 40 wheat. If you chose to sustain yourself with only bread, you'll need an hydrophonic with 540 plants growing. To fix this and other imbalances, I changed:
- 6 cooking recipes and 2 reagent recipes (the ones marked as yellow are the modified ones).
- Most of the foods nutrition values, to make all of them useful and feasible to be used.
- Complex recipes and the ones that need eggs now are kind like the endgame of nutrition. Now, the best food is pumpkin pie, it gives you enough calories for 4 days. But anything made with eggs will give you good nutrition.
- When you make Canned food and cereal bars, it will loose a litte nutrition as a tradeoff for their ability to never spoil.

* Eggs:
- Fertilized Eggs now need controlled enviroments to hatch. Pressure between 50 to 120kpa, temperature between 36°C to 38°C (96.8°F to 100.4°F) They need to stay 7 days in this conditions to hatch. The egg will show an tooltip similar to the plants, so you can see if it's hatching or not.
- Eggs and Fertilized ones take 24 game days to spoil without refrigeration, so now you should have a chance to use the eggs from the lander.
