[WIP] Undergrowth [GitHub]

[twoelk]

actually I like the possabilty to "build" small trees. It's interesting for gardens and parks.

some further suggestions:

[12-30 05:49] <Hirato_> cute, little rock models :o
[12-30 05:49] <Hirato_> but why do I need a pick to pick up a pebble :P
[12-30 05:50] <VanessaE> ?
[12-30 05:50] <Hirato_> it wouldn't let me pick up the pebble until I grabbed a wooden pick from a nearby chest
[12-30 05:52] <VanessaE> in my game?
[12-30 05:52] <VanessaE> interesting
[12-30 05:52] <Hirato_> yeah
[12-30 05:52] <VanessaE> maybe because they're still stone
[12-30 05:53] <VanessaE> have to bug Mossmannikin about that then
[12-30 05:53] <VanessaE> I forget if they drop cobblestone or what they become
[12-30 05:53] <Hirato_> it adds a "pebble" into my inventory

^^^^^^
Perhaps the pebbles, which probably should be called "small stones" or "small rocks" should be hand-diggable, since they give you exactly those into your inventory.

Propably one should be able to pick up a pebble/stone without any tool (allready thought about it and then forgot about it), not sure about renaming it, but worth consideration.

@Evergreen:
What do you think?

[12-30 05:54] <Hirato_> am I supposed to get things like YoungTree2Bottom from punchign certain trees?
[12-30 05:59] <Hirato_> "Forest Soil 4", weird
[12-30 06:01] <VanessaE> yes, those are all parts of the undergrowth modpack
[12-30 06:01] <VanessaE> it's still a work in progress :)
[12-30 06:01] <Hirato_> I'd expect them to turn into wood, and sticks, and dirt :P

^^^^^^
Indeed, the different pieces of the young tree should probably randomly drop sticks or leaves, while the forest soil blocks should probably split apart into dirt or dirt with grass, and leaves (or maybe a "crushed leaves" item that can be used as fuel or used in new recipes).

Yes, it's still WIP and will be until at least next year ;)
Getting a dirt node and some leaves from forest soil is already on the dusty to-do-list.

About the young trees I'd like to quote:

[12-30 06:02] <VanessaE> lemme post an excerpt from this chat to the appropriate topic
[12-30 06:04] <Hirato_> ahaha, floating moss, thanks to infinite liquid
[12-30 06:04] <Hirato_> er.. finite

^^^^^^
Add an ABM that runs every so often and checks if the node under these objects is indeed still water, and if not, drops these objects out as items?

Good idea (at least worth trying). :)

while you do+1+2 https://github.com/Mossmanikin/undergrowth/zipball/master

I think it would be a good idea to put this project on github. That way, it is much easier to collab, and make testing branches and such.

Absolutely agree.
Sadly enough I still don't get how to do it.

Best thing to do is to download the client and use that. Are you on windows?

While it would be more realistic when digging up young trees to get sticks & leaves, I left it so you could build your own young trees wherever you like. So I went with twoelk's idea. I think it is ok that way.

I am curious to know what MirceaKitsune thinks of this modpack. It adds a good deal of nature to Minetest.

[Inocudom]

Neuromancer and/or Mossmanikin, would you consider having this mod support the beautiful mod linked to below?
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8772
The mod beyond that link is the forest mod by Gael de Sailly. Please, try to have undergrowth support it, for what better place is there for undergrowth than an actual, real forest.

Hi, I have made a bit cleanup on the rough edges of this mod. Here’s a pull request:
https://github.com/Mossmanikin/undergrowth/pull/8

[VanessaE]

I have imported the components of this modpack into Plantlife modpack (since they depend on plants_lib).

Since this modpack is no longer being maintained by its original author, future development of this modpack's components should take place in plantlife.

https://github.com/VanessaE/plantlife_modpack

Wuzzy, I've applied your patch to my copy in plantlife.

[VanessaE]

I've moved this mod to the "Old Mods" section, since it is no longer separately maintained.
