📋 About This Mod
This mod expands the crop selection offered to include the crops Mutant Menagerie missed while keeping in the spirit of MM's balance.
Originally this mod gave full functionality to the crops from Mutant Menagerie - Life Finds a Way, but Mutant Menagerie has since updated itself to include my fixes via the modder's resource I made here.
Added Crops List
-
[]Fresh Crops - Fresh Carrot, Fresh Corn, Fresh Melon, Fresh Mutfruit
[
]Rare Crops - Warwick Melon, Institute Gourd, Raw Sap Buckets(and Sugar Maple Saplings), Experimental Plant[]Vanilla Planters - Carrot, Corn, Gourd, Melon, Mutfruit, Razorgrain, Tato
[]Fresh Planters - Fresh Carrot, Fresh Corn, Fresh Melon, Fresh Mutfruit, Institute Gourd
[]Wild Planters - Bloodleaf, Brain Fungus, Mutant Fern, Glowing Fungus, Hubflower, Silt Bean, Tarberry, Wild Tarberry, Thistle
[]Mutant Menagerie Planters - Cave Fungus, Soot Flower, Geiger Flower, Bright Bloodleaf, Quantum Bloodleaf
[]34 Total
I intend on adding more planters down the line.
Other Features
- []Improved Menu Navigation through the addition of "Planters", "Fungus", and "Herbs" categories. Mutant Menagerie locks all Fungus and Herbs behind farming magazines though, so you'll need to find at least one of those for the categories to show.
- Full Variant Coverage -- for example, MM only includes 1 of the Brain Fungus appearances offered by vanilla, with this you have access to all 3 appearances.
Highly Compatible
I used a script injector to handle the workshop quest and menus so there should be no conflicts.
Works with any version of "Mutant Menagerie - Life Finds a Way."
Users of my Wild and Fresh Crops mod can upgrade(ie uninstall and replace) directly to this mod, as it shares its file name and record IDs with Wild and Fresh. Don't use both at the same time.
Big thanks to Ethreon for letting me use some of the custom planter meshes from Vanilla Extensions
