📋 About This Mod

Now with variable harvest and NMM installer to pick your option(s). 0. 4 beta now available. Adds variable and high yield harvest options for extra plants file.

Description: This mod adds constructible food planters to the settlement build lists. Very handy for farming in areas where there is little dirt, or when you want to have a nice, aesthetically pleasing and well organised farm area. There are options for single harvest, high yield and variable yield.

It also adds other plants to settlement build lists: Bloodleaf, Brain Fungus, Glowing Fungus, Hubflower, Silt Bean and Tarberry. Single harvest, high yield and variable yield options for all plants (please note that this will change SOME of the plants in the wasteland as well... this is intended... not yet implemented on all wasteland plants but will be in the next version).

Please note I currently have a plethora of features I would like to implement, so check back regularly.

Please enjoy, endorse if you found it useful and comment with any issues, I'll try to get around to them in a timely fashion. Happy to take on board feature requests, time and ability permitting.

Thanks in advance. :)

Notes on current version: As stated above, the variable or high yield harvest options will carry over to some but not yet all plants in the wasteland, not just the settlement plants. This is currently intended and will be changed in the next version to include all wasteland plants. I will be making some significant changes to the structure in the next version, so stay tuned for instructions!

Installation: NMM - Download with manager, enable, choose your options from the installer and enjoy. Please make sure you have made the relevant ini file changes to allow modding. If you're not sure how to do this, click here.

Manual - Extract your chosen .esp file into your Fallout 4 data folder and add the file name to your plugins.txt file. You'll also need to make the changes mentioned above, but honestly, do yourself a favour and download NMM because it makes installing mods infinitely easier.

Known Issues: - Unable to pick up planters in settlement edit mode. I have looked into this and it appears to be a "feature" rather than an issue. Going to Greygarden and attempting to interfere with the planters in any way produces the same result. I do hope to rectify this when the GECK is released. There is a possible fix for this which I am looking into, but have not had a chance to play around with yet. (Tip: For now you can store and re-place... not an ideal solution, but not all is lost if you put in the wrong place for now). - Unable to place planters on some surfaces. This is a collision issue that is built into the game
