Optional Features and Rebalanced Recipes
:
Toggled via Config.json editing or using Mod Config Menu. You can switch any of the options on or off separately. Only the Rare Seed and Burglars Ring recipe need main mod to be switched on.
- Quality Fertilizer uses 2 Sap/ 1 Slime instead of 2 Sap / 1 Any Fish.
Compared to the basic fertilizer the quality fertilizer was hardly worth the trouble. And why would i waste my time to fish some trash fish for fertilizer? This change makes the quality fertilizer feasible in my opinion. There is always slime somewhere ^^.
You can choose between a version to craft 1 fertilizer or 5 fertilizer (adjusted cost) at once. If you have huge fields and need a lot of fertilizer and dont want to press 1000x the button like me :)
- Wild Bait uses 5/5/5 or 3/3/3 or 1/1/1 (fiber/slime/bug meat)
I found myself always short of fiber and never using the wild bait because it felt overpriced compared to regular bait.
- Gras Starter cost 2 or 3 Fiber instead of 10
Animals eat so much gras, i need more fiber. Why is common weeds the rarest ressource in Pelikan Town?
- Bombs use less Ore and Mega Bombs use only Gold/Coal Ore.
This Module comes in 3 Versions to choose: All bombs use 2 Ore/3 Ore/4 Ore + 1 Coal for crafting. Choose the version you like most for balancing.
The idea is to make bombs more affordable to craft. I always feel guilty of blowing up 4 gold ore + void + sloar essence just to find 3 rocks. Well, worry no more!
- Explosive ammo uses 2/3/4 Copper Ore + 1 Void Essencel instead of 1 Iron Bar + 2 Coal.
Since bombs are already a huge iron dump, and copper is stockpiling for me. Void Essence needs a use as well so here we go. They are more affordable with this recipe so go nuts if you have a lot of copper with no use. You can choose how much copper ore is used for your own balancing
- New Rare Seed recipe: 20 Mixed Seeds.
You have to sort a lot of seeds to find
