"Magic Planters" mod for Wurm Unlimited significantly expands the possibilities for farming and cultivation within the game. Here's a breakdown of what it does:
Enhanced Planting Capabilities:
It introduces "large planters" that allow players to grow various crops and mushrooms, including those that typically require specific environmental conditions.
Notably, it enables the cultivation of rice and reed within these planters, even without direct access to water sources.
Planters can be placed virtually anywhere, including indoors within houses or even in caves, providing greater flexibility in farming setups.
Magic Mushrooms and Special Cultivation:
The mod adds "magic mushrooms," a unique type of mushroom that requires a specific planter and the use of "Source Salt" for cultivation.
These magic mushrooms offer various effects when consumed, including favor regeneration, karma, and other potentially interesting outcomes.
Decorative and Functional Features:
The mod includes decorative baskets, some of which emit light and particle effects, adding aesthetic elements to player environments.
Planters and baskets can be dyed, allowing for customization.
Mod Integration and Additions:
The mod has seen updates that have added tree and bush planters.
It also has integration with the "Better Farming" mod, allowing for area actions on planters like sowing, farming, harvesting and cultivating.
It also has the addition of infected planters, for cosmetic effects.
Stump Utilisation:
Tree stumps can be dug up and used in the crafting of magic mushroom planters, adding a use for what was previously a waste item.
In essence, the "Magic Planters" mod enhances farming in Wurm Unlimited by providing greater control over crop growth, introducing new cultivable items, and adding decorative elements.
