📋 About This Mod
Fruit Tree Tweaks is a mod originally by aedenthorn. He did almost all the work, I just stumbled around some code I didn't even know to try and update it since some guy on the official forums complained it wasn't working with 1. 6. If you encounter issues, disable the mod and please post a bug report. A full log of the changes from the original mod are available upon request, but the spark notes will also be listed in the changelog. The source code is also available on my Github.
DESCRIPTION
===========
This mod lets you tweak fruit trees in the following ways:
-
[]Prevent crops from stopping fruit tree growth[/]
[]Prevent craftables from stopping fruit tree growth[/]
[]Allow planting fruit trees next to other trees[/]
[]Allow planting fruit trees on any map and most valid tiles[/]
[]Allow fruit trees to bear fruit in all three seasons[/]
[]Change how many days it takes for fruit trees to mature[/]
[]Set max fruit per tree[/]
[]Set number of fruit grown per day, or a random range of fruit grown per day[/]
[]Allow all fruit trees to bear fruit in all seasons including winter, optionally[/]
[]Set size and color variations to make individual fruit look slightly different from each other on the same tree.[/]
[]Set custom days maturity for silver, gold, and iridium quality harvest[/]
The default configuration is:
EnableMod = true
CropsBlock = false
ObjectsBlock = false
TreesBlock = false
PlantAnywhere = false
FruitAllSeasons = true
FruitInWinter = false
DaysUntilMature = 28
MaxFruitPerTree = 3
MinFruitPerDay = 1
MaxFruitPerDay = 1
DaysUntilSilverFruit = 112
DaysUntilGoldFruit = 224
DaysUntilIridiumFruit = 336
Debug = true (disable if you need log for another mod, as FTT debug logs are quite spammy)
ColorVariation = 50
SizeVariation = 20
FruitSpawnBufferX = 5
FruitSpawnBufferY = 40
You can edit the config in Generic Mod Config Menu or by editing the mod's config.json file after starting the game once.
