About this project
What does NDL ExpandedGrowth (Mushroom Growth Module) add?
About Module:
This is the mushroom growth module for the Expanded Growth mod series. This module adds a method for growing mushrooms
Adds:
- Mushroom Troughs (Block)
- Mushroom Spores (Items)
How To Guides: (Also in the handbook in game, just search NDL or NDL-ExpandedGrowth!)
To Use:
- Gather Mushroom Spores by Breaking Mushrooms in your world
- There is a 5% drop rate on all wild mushrooms
- Craft a "Mushroom Trough"
- 4 planks 1 nail (see handbook recipe)
- Place the "Mushroom Trough" down
- Depending on the type of spore you are trying to go you will either need to place it on the Ground or Wall
- Add a SOIL block to the "Mushroom Trough" to get a "Mushroom Trough" filled with dirt
- Any type of soil will work (low, med, high, terra pretta)
- Soil type WILL effect the time it takes for mushrooms to grow!
- Now add your Mushroom Spores to the Dirt filled "Mushroom Trough"
- Now wait the required days for the mushrooms to grow!
- Once grown you will need to harvest them with a Knife (just right click with the knife on the trough)
- This will set it back to the "Mushroom Trough" with spores in it and the growth process will start over again!
General Information:
- Mushrooms harvested from the Mushroom Trough give a 10% drop chance for spores
- If you break a spored trough you will NOT get your spores back
- Spores are MENT to be rare and hard to obtain
- The "Mushroom Trough" can be converted back to a normal trough by placing it back in the crafting grid!
- Soil type will effect the growth rate of the spores
- Barren Fertility: 20 days
- Low Fertility: 15 days
- Medium Fertility: 13 days
- High Fertility: 8 days
- Terra Preta: 5 days
- If you place the troughs in a cellar you get a 2 day bonus off the fertility amounts shown!
Notes:
- I forgot to update the handbook guide to remove the cellar requirement
- Just to reiterate - the cellar requirement is NOT in the mod anymore!!!!
| Days Per Month | Barren Fertility | Low Fertility | Medium Fertility | High Fertility | Terra Preta |
| 3 Days | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| 6 Days | 9 | 7 | 5 | 3 | 2 |
| 9 Days | 14 | 11 | 8 | 5 | 3 |
| 12 Days | 18 | 14 | 10 | 6 | 4 |
| 20 Days | 30 | 23 | 17 | 10 | 7 |
| 30 Days | 45 | 35 | 25 | 15 | 10 |

FAQ:
- No, due to having to make trough models for each mushroom type I personally will only make vanilla working troughs, its a lot of work to make the models for other mods that might not get updated to new versions of the game
Can you provide the source code?
- No, I choose not to provide the source code to prevent tweaks/patched versions of my mod from appearing on the site. I want to avoid getting questions on issues related to them and also I don't like the idea of someone taking my mod for themselves and publishing it.
Can I fork your mod?
- No
Can you add xyz config option?
- You can request and I can consider it but no gurantees
