Grassroots

Grassroots
a cannabis cultivation mod

"This is grade A, top-shelf, lightly-spritzed-with-holy-water cannabis."

Grow, dry, cure, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Grassroots adds cannabis cultivation for sativa and indica plants.

Four strains, each with their own climate requirements and effects when smoked. Find them growing wild in the world, or grow your own from seed.

The cultivation process has three optional steps that improve the quality of your final product and quality matters. A carefully tended harvest hits harder and lasts longer.

Hemp production allows hemp stalks to be broken down into fibers or hurd. Fibers can replace most linen/cloth counterparts and hurd can be made into building materials.

Wild Strains

Hindu Kush - Found in temperate forests and grasslands. Tolerates cold well. A reliable strain for most climates.

Red Congo - Found in hot, wet jungle and rainforest climates. Needs warmth and moisture to thrive.

Mazar-i-Sharif - Found in cold mountain regions and dry upland terrain. Thrives where other strains fail.

Acapulco Gold - Found in hot, arid desert and savanna regions with little rainfall.

Quality

There are four quality levels. Getting to Dank takes effort: nutrition during growth, drying, and curing. Skip steps and you'll still get something, just not the best.

Enjoying

Rolling and smoking a joint gives a short-duration buff. The effect depends on the strain. Potency scales with quality.

In-game HUD will display buffs and timer. CTRL+G to toggle HUD off/on.

Traders

If you end up with too much product, you may want to start selling to your local traders.

Agriculture, Survival Goods, Clothing, and Treasure Hunter Traders want your hemp and joints!

Each trader has a favorite strain, be sure to bring the correct one!

Quality does not play into prices. (yet)

Hemp Production

Cannabis crops can drop hemp stalks alongside their usual yield. Stalks can be broken down into fibers and/or hurd.

Fibers

Follow the same production as flax (fibers -> twine -> linen -> cloth).

Hemp cloth can be dyed using the same barrel process as regular cloth/mordant cloth, and hemp fibers or twine can be soaked into pulp and pressed into writable hemp paper.

Hemp items are fully compatible with crafting recipes that call for flax fibers, twine, linen, or cloth, they work as direct substitutes. (there's a lot of recipes, things can get missed! let me know on discord!)

Hemp Seed Oil

Press cannabis seeds in a fruit press for hemp oil. 20 seeds fills 10L. Works in place of rendered fat for oil lamps, oiling hides, and mechanical power parts.

Flour, Bread, and Feed

The leftover mash grinds into hemp flour, which makes dough, which bakes into hemp bread. Or seal mash with a little hemp oil in a barrel for hemp seed cake. Animal feed, goes straight in a trough.

Hempcrete

A building material that does not need a kiln. 

Strip stalks with a knife or ret them in a barrel with water to get hemp hurd. Seal hurd with limewater for 48 hours to make hempcrete mix. You can then use grid crafting and craft hempcrete bricks which then craft into variations of hempcrete blocks. Turn a blocks rotation with a wrench for design.
