Hello,

I have this error

Interesting, faster grow of plants and trees :)

I tested it and deleted this three lines in the init.lua:



Now it works but not for jungletrees. With jungletree saplings I get an error about "deprecated use of default.grow_jungletree".
I havent tested it yet with moretrees.

Hello, i deleted this three lines but it not works.
No item in my inventory (in creative mode) and when i want to craft

"Craft 1 bone block to make 9 bones.
craft 8 dirt with 1 bone in the center to make 9 fertiliser"
i have no item for fertiliser and no bones

Yes, I got this too at my first try. The mod has a hard dependency on farming_plus and only works if you enable it too.
Funny: you can use the fertiliser on papyrus to grow it on every soil (dirt, sand, stone) no matter how near to water and as high as you want. If you add "climbable = true," to papyrus you can play "Jack and the papyrusstalk". :)

Sorry about three lines, it was a problem with my use of git.
This is now fixed.

Hello,

I Have this error with your mod and [Modpack] [farming_plusplus][1.03] farming_plus fork

balthazariv, it comes down to a ":" vs a "."

line 6 of the fertiliser/init.lua

change it to

and it works.
Do that and it will no longer work for older versions of farming/farming_plus that used the ":" version.

Fun little mod to play with, but it didn't work on moretrees or jungle trees for me. No crash, just no fertiliser application (no removal from the stack). I'm not sure about the recipe, I'd think about changing it to bones from the animals mod and tree leaves or something renewable like that. How do you get bones:bones anyways? I resorted to a giveme.

The bones in the default game are obtained when you die. In vanilla Minetest, when you die, your items are left inside the bones in the exact position where you died.

Right, but that doesn't give you a bones item you can use to craft the small bones this mod uses, at least it doesn't for me.

I took a look at the code to see if there was a mistake:


But I don't see anything wrong...

Thanks now it works

Seems like the support for jungle trees and the moretrees mod was removed from the mod with the latest update.

Like Esteban said, but in singleplayer you don´t get bones when your character dies.

Yes, I also changed the recipe, not only because of the limitation in singleplayer to get the bones, just don´t like the idea to use bones for food :) I prefere a compost with

And thank you for your fix.

This is all very puzzling to me, maybe something's changed in bones recently, or my version of minetest or bones doesn't work right. Singleplayer or Server (we have a family server we play together on), if you die, yes bones appear on the map, where you died, containing your items. When you collect those bones, you get no bones as an item in your inventory, you get your items. Oh well.

Geez! How silly, of course there are bones even in singleplayer. I am so used to have creative mod on when I use the singleplayer. Should have looked into the bones file before. Excuse me.
Now I saw what you mean and found that there was this commit for the bones mod in minetest_game.
I commented lines 80-82. Now, if you punch at the bones you instantely get all your items back in your inventory and the bones stay, so you can pick them up.


But if you take item per item out of the bones they still dissapear. I commented lines 52-57 and they stay.



Oh, and maybe you want to look at this removed line. I dont no why it was removed, it seems to me practical to get a chat message with the coordinates where you died.

IDK why they got rid of it. Will have to look into a workaround for the bones.

Sorry for the necro bump,I meant to ask:
Does this fertiliser also enchance the growth of grass and flowers?Also,what about the bone block?In the vanilla game it isn't obtainable if not through commands and creative,is it available in this or the farming_plus modification?

Added Xanthin's craft recipie by default, because of the new bone logic.

Moretrees support has been re-added in the latest version.
The reason why I removed it to start with was that there are no hooks in plant_life that support growing of trees. This meant that I wrote my own hooks, but then there were updates, and so it got ugly. It now scans through minetest.registered_abms to find the functions it needs.
