📋 About This Mod
Ever seen those food planters in Graygarden? Now you can build them in your own settlement. This means you don't have to have dirt in your settlement to actually get some food. These can be placed on most even surfaces.
Installation: Place the .esp file in your Fallout 4/Data folder and activate it using the Plugin Manager. IMPORTANT If you are using the beta update version of Fallout 4 then all your mods will get disabled, and the data file manager won't open up either. If you still want to use mods on the beta version, you can use either one of these methods:
MANUAL PLUGIN. TXT ENTRY:
- Locate your plugins.txt file in your AppData/Local/Fallout4 folder
NEXUS MOD MANAGER: Start the game-launcher, THEN start the NMM and enable all the plugins. Then press start in the FO4 Launcher. It should work, but you will have to repeat this every time you want to play FO4 for now.
Current Version: 1. 0f
Next Version (features coming soon): -proper harvest amount -added fertilizer to requirements
Coming Soon(TM): -a version without the roots showing

💡 Beginner Tips
