[mod] Not so simple plants and fungi [nsspf]

[npx]

All the mushrooms are real mushrooms and have their real effect. It's up to you to discover which ones are edible! Even using your experience ;)

[TheReaperKing]

Thank you for the learning experience. I thought that the mushrooms would be on the north side (though I read some do grow on the north side) but I found that some fungi grow on the south side too, interesting! This was a fun read:

Just remember that asymmetrical North/South phenomena would probably be reversed for the same species in the other hemisphere ;-P

Moved to Mod releases!

[lumberJack]

Yes! More of this please. Excellent work. My only suggestion would be that as you continue to develop the mod, please include a configuration file or an easy way for people running servers to pick and choose fungi/plants they want to spawn on their map.

Edit: What just happened? :D I tested this on a test world and everything seemed to work nicely. Spawn rates were very moderate. Threw it on my server and it went crazy. Instantly there were mushrooms everywhere! Not sure what the issue is but I will continue to investigate and try to figure out what went wrong. Meanwhile, any clues would be appreciated. I would love to get mod to play nice with my server :)

It is a really nice idea, I will work on choosing the fungi to spawn!
Fungi in the wip version grew in this uncontrolled way... So I wrote an abm in order to kill the fungus in the moment in wich he grows too much, I think something went wrong in this process. Those fungi are very invasive, but in this way it should be a controlled process. Please, tell me if you discover something!

[Chibi ghost]

seems okay to me when a area loads sometimes I see about a dozen grouped together but most of the fungi vanish by the time time the area fully loads

That is basically the behavior I see if i load it in a fresh world and then build it up with other mods, but for some reason adding it to my already established world sends the fungus into overload. Can't really come up with a logical reason for this, but the fungus literally grown on virtually every tree/jungle block and crowd the ground. They don't seem die off, at least not within a few minutes.

I'll keep messing with it. It may come down to just trying to tune down the abms, but it will be a few days before i have time to really get in there and experiment properly. I'll let you know if I come up with anything that seems to work.

Edit/update:
So, after several experiments to figure out what circumstances caused the overgrowth of fungus experienced on my map, there seems to be a relation to the server's age, specifically the game_time value recorded in the worlds/env_meta.txt file. I have tried turning up this value to 7-8 digit numbers and been able to replicate the overgrowth on new worlds. Also reloading all the mods I have on my server in a new world with nsspf does not trigger the overgrowth. I'll continue to experiment to try to find a way to integrate this mod into more "aged" worlds, but I thought I would share what I have found out so far...

Nathan, glowing fungi really glows in the real world! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycena_chlorophos
The tubers (truffles), that grow underground are precious and fragrant foods, they cannot be cooked at all!
All the names and effects of the mushrooms are real, but of course it is very hard to distinguish them in the woods only by seeing the models, so it is possible to use mod for didactic purposes, but not with the aim of finding and eating them, intoxications with fungi are unfortunately very common even among experts.

The growing part of the fungus, that is able to produce the mushroom after some time is the mycelium, a block of dirt covered with white "roots". The mycelium dies when exposed to air, but by digging the remained block, called fungusdirt it is possible to find the spores. The fungusdirt has the same texture of the dirt so it is hard to find it, but it is possible to farm fungi by clicking on them on the specific block that they requires. Those mechanics are complicated, that's why sometimes fungi escape from the control and overgrow!

[Nathan.S]

I want to get some of those fungi for my house.

Thanks for explaining the growing information. I'll link your post one my website so people can find more information on how to grow the fungi.

ah that's where I've been going wrong shame I converted the glass houses I made for the mushrooms into store houses for flowers for dying with

[burli]

This mod uses 28 ABM's? Seriously? You really should replace some of them with node timers

[v-rob]

Why can't I place mushrooms down in creative mode? They always disappear, wherever I put one...

Also, how do you plant spores? I don't quite understand that.

[npx]

This is a "realistic" mod, I think, it is quite irrealistic put a mushrooms again on the ground.

Each fungus type need a specific block on which you must click with the spores.
Saprobiontic fungi (macrolepiota, lycoperdon, psilocybe...) just need a block of dirt_with_grass on a dirt block, you have to click on the dirt_with_grass to transform the dirt under it in mycelium.
Mychorrizal fungi (amanita, boletus, truffles...): you have to click with the spores on the right tree trunk, this will transform the dirt under the trunk in mycelium.
Snowbank fungi work as the saprobiontic but using the dirt_with_snow, instead of dirt with grass.
Is it clear? Maybe we will make a video in order to explain better all these dynamics, I understand that I'm not able to explain very well... Sorry!

[Chibi ghost]

no you did very well much easier to understand now thank you

[v-rob]

Thank you very much. I understand now.

[the_raven_262]

This mod is complex and quite interesting, though if i were you i would make mushrooms fall to the ground when i cut the tree that is holding them.

28 ABM

[TailsTheFoxDoes MT]

A mod that adds wild plants and fungi in order to give another source of food without farming.

For now there are only 29 fungi and no plants.
You just have to walk around in the different biomes and gather the fungi.
All the fungi are taken from the real world and thay have their scientific names. Many of them are good to eat, but others can be lethal.
There are 5 types of fungi:
-Ectomycorrhizal fungi: grows in association with the roots of trees, the mycelium grows in the ground and sometimes a mushroom will grow. There are also truffles, hard to find (truffles are produced underground)
-Saprobiontic fungi: divided in 4 categories distiguished by where they grow
+Jungle fungi grow on trees trunks in the jungle.
+Grass fungi grow as mycelium underground in grassland and sometimes produce a mushroom on the surface.
+Snowbank fungi act as grass fungi but under the snow.
+Tree fungi as jungle fungi grow on trees trunks of trees and pine trees.

The mushrooms:


Fungi are generated by abm, so their growth will require some time.

It is possible to farm the fungi with the spores. Exposed to air mycelium will die and the dirt left may contain spores, dropped when digged.
For saprobiontic is necessary to click with the spores the ground (dirt_with_grass or dirt_with_snow) to grow a new mycelium under the node. Ectomycorrhizal fungi spores need to placed on the bottom of the right trunk of a tree, each fungus need a specific tree.

Many mushrooms are hard to digest so it is better to cook them before eating, in order to appreciate their nutritional value fully. Cooking could also inactivate the toxin in poisonous fungi (only in some of them obviously!). In other cases cooking may damage the benefic propreties of the mushrooms reducing his nutritional value.

Ugh this is too COMPLEX for me! :P

[Wuzzy]

What happens to the brown and red mushrooms from Minetest Game? Will they be replaced?

[npx]

There is an ABM to remove them from the map!

[Wuzzy]

IMO it would make more sense to overwrite those mushrooms with 2 mushrooms from this mod to match the style of everything else. Or just add 2 additional mushrooms just to replace the default mushrooms, by using a close equivalent instead.

An ABM is usually costly and it also does not get rid of brown and red mushrooms in inventories.
It is ugly to have the default mushrooms still present in the game, alongside the 3D mushrooms which are very different.

[burli]

An ABM is usually costly...

As I mentioned this mod has 28 of them, a lot of them with interval = 1 and chance = 1

Definitively too much for a few mushrooms

[azekill_DIABLO]

this mod might increase the server lag A LOT

You're right, but I really don't know how it could be done... Is it possible to remove them?

[burli]

Maybe not all of them, but I think most of the ABMs can be replaced with node timers

I meant default mushrooms as suggested by Wuzzy...

I know that the mod is heavy and has a lot of ABM, but I think it would be hard to reduce them in number, I will think about the use of node timers

[burli]

Ah, sorry. You can overwrite them with own mushrooms, but you still have the default spread ABM. Or you can remove them

EDIT: never mind
