Botanist

Botanist provides a new, easy to use and fun way to collect and store herbs for your alchemy recipes in The Witcher 3.

The mod currently only supports the V4+ (NG) version of the game and will not work on the "Legacy" versions such as 1. 32

New Herb Discovery

Botanist herb discovery is a very simple process, all you need to do is walk close enough to a herb for the interaction prompt 'Gather Ingredients' to show up. At this point Botanist will spring into action and store all the relevant information it needs about the herb such as its type, name, position, location etc.

Botanist will always store and remember information for any herbs you discover, then display map pins / 3D markers for them as and when you need them.

In the Mod Menu there are 2 main settings which control what happens after you have discovered new herbs.

• []The first setting named 'Herb Targeting' controls which herbs Botanist will show you on the map and which herbs get assigned a 3D marker on the screen. Botanist will automatically ignore all discovered herbs that are not of that type.

  []The second setting named 'Herb Quantities' uses a calculation to tell Botanist how many herbs you want in your inventory plus how many herbs are already displayed on screen of a given type before the mod stops evaluating them.

  What all that means for example is If you set 'Herb Targeting' to only display 'Celandine' plants and you set 'Herb Quantities' to 34, Botanist will continue to evaluate and display map pins / 3D markers for Celandine until the calculation reaches 34, it will then stop processing Celandine but will still store information for new plants you discover for future use.

  World Map Integration

  Botanist comes with 3 Brand new map pins, each representing a different type of herb on the map. As well as the new map pins, Botanist also provides a new 'World Map Filter' exclusively for the 3 new pins.

  • []The gold herb map pin shown below represents a normal and harvestable herb that you should collect.

    []The blue herb map pin shown below represents a normal and harvestable herb that is part of one of Botanist's 'Harvesting Grounds'.

  • The blue plant map pin shown below represents a Botanist 'Harvesting Ground', a collection of plants of the same type within a close radius to each other.

    As well as the new map pins detailed above, Botanist can also display sh
