📋 About This Mod
This simple mod adds several new items that can be placed in the world by utilising Capfire's framework. I thought myself one day "How difficult would it be to make planters?" It turns out they are not as straightforward as one might think (watch DarkFox127's video to know why), but after a bit of fiddling with scripts, I achieved my goal.
Now you can decorate your house, garden, settlement or any camping place with anything from simple holes in the ground to ornate Dwarven or Nordic planters!
The mod adds one new crafting element, "Ceramics", obtained by crushing all those old plates and urns you accidentally picked up in ruins and threw away. Other ingredients needed are clay, firewood an quarried stones. (method heavily inspired by Fallout4 crafting mechanics)
Craftable elements (number of clay required is also the number of plantable soils):
Soil Requires: 1 Clay
Square/Round Planters (found in HF homes and in Solitude), available in Big/Small/Tiny variations Requires: 1 Clay, 10/6/4 ceramics, 4/2/0 Stones
Oblong Planters (found in HF homes and in Solitude), available in Big and small variations Requires: 3 Clay, 12/6 ceramics, 12/6 Stones
Nordic Round planter (found in High Hrothgar) Requires: 1 Clay, 4 ceramics
Nordic Stone Planter (found in Shalidor's Maze) Requires: 4 Clay, 10 Stones
Greenhouse (Found in HF homes and Whiterun) Regular/Ornamental Requires: 4/3 Clay, 8/3 Stones, 4/3 Firewood, 0/8 Ceramics
Dwemer Planters, (seen in Bthardamz) available in Big and small variations Requires: 1 Clay, 4/3 Dwarven Ingot
Dwemer Stone Planter Requires: 5 Clay, 12 Stones
How to obtain and use them?
Simple. Use your Campfire's crafting lesser power or any forge to craft planters, and then use them as regular placeable Campfire items (i.e. by clicking the item in your inventory and then moving its indicator around). Nordic ceramics can be crashed with the same crafting power or in any smelter.In order to move the planter around, you have to first get rid of the plant, either by clicking the soil, and removing it, or by simply using the "Pick Up" option - it will detect the removal of soil and it will remove the plant automatically. That is also true for a plant that hasn't grown yet.
