This mod provides 7 edits to the special trees in the game:
- Chopping Mystic Trees can yield a seed: set chance to 0.0 (vanilla/disabled), 0.75 (copy other trees), or 1 (guarantee)
- Chopping Mushroom Trees can yield a seed: set chance to 0.0 (vanilla/disabled), 0.75 (copy other trees), or 1 (guarantee)
- Chopping Mahogany Trees can yield a seed more often: set chance to 0.5625 (vanilla/disabled), 0.75 (copy other trees), or 1 (guarantee)
- Mystic Trees are affected more by tree fertilizer: in vanilla it grows the same speed as a Mahogany Tree (0.15 chance to grow to the next stage), but with the fertilizer the Mahogany Tree has an increased chance of 0.6, while the Mystic Tree has an increased chance of 0.3. Enable to set the increased chance to 0.6
- Mystic Trees can drop seeds on the ground, and you can shake Mystic Trees for seeds. The chances for both settings will change from 0 to the same setting as all other wild trees have
- Mahogany Trees can grow moss
- Mushroom Trees can grow moss
By default the settings are:
- copy other trees
- vanilla
- vanilla
- true
- false
- true
- true
When the chance for a tree seed when chopping down a tree is fulfilled, there is a chance you get not 1 but 2. This is known as tree felling in the game code and is seeded as shown by Blade. So while before, Mystic and Mushroom Trees gave zero seeds when chopped, now when you put the chance to not zero you can either get 1 or 2 seeds. Therefore I feel like setting it to 1 is overpowered and takes away the rarity of those trees. The goal was to give 1 back so you can replant it when you are decorating. So it is recommended to put that chance at most to 0.75.
On the other hand, on a second note, for people who really struggle with finding mystic tree seeds, there is the option to even enable option 5.
If you have suggestions for more, let me know!
One I tried but will not do: have the SVE trees grow moss. First I thought that moss is a layer over the tree sprites that can be added to any wild tree, but when the SVE trees grew moss they became invisible in my game until I scythed the moss. So in short, adding moss on trees means making art. I did it for the mahogany tree but I do not want to touch other people's art.
