This module attempts to address what I perceive to be problems with the way farming operates in vanilla df, changing as little as possible to the in-game appearance. Mainly that it does not take very much labor/space/player-involvement to 'win' at farming.

This module is intended to be used either as is (with vanilla everything else) or as a part of another mod.

Not everything is reworked, more may be done if people are interested/can help.

Some buildings and reactions are added to allow for ease of use, and for less frustration/micromanagement/etc.

Automatic cheese making at the kitchen.
You may get either thread OR seeds from thread plants.
You may get flour/sugar by milling the seeds or the plants instead of the plants themselves (either plant OR eat).

Farmers Workshop:

Plants (PLANT) with seeds can be turned into seeds directly for replanting OR used for food/drink/thread/etc.
Plants of various categories can be turned into seeds more efficiently (defined by reaction classes for ease of use by other modders)

Plant -> Product (Auto) Workshops:

Custom buildings requiring a CHAIR to build
Use various Labors
Preform the named reaction automatically (slightly bugged:only 1 of these will automatically que up jobs)
Small footprints, meant to be used situationly to save micromanagement/[SANITY_REMAINING]

This is meant to be hard mode...  [PROBABILITY:FAILURE] 

Brewing Yields: (lowest outcome)
2*PLANT=1*DRINK
2*PLANT_GROWTH=1*DRINK
2*PLANT=1*DRINK
1*HONEY=1*DRINK
1*GRAIN=1*DRINK

Seeds from plant Yields:
Slightly more than 1 seed per plant (varies)

Herbalism: Very difficult, sparse vegetation can make wagon only starts very !!FUN!!
[Clustersize:1]

Plump Helmet:
Must be cooked to be eaten and does not grow in winter, prepare in advance, plant early

This is not as extreme but is still more difficult than vanilla by far 

Brewing Yields: (lowest outcome)
1*PLANT=1*DRINK
1*PLANT_GROWTH=1*DRINK
1*PLANT=1*DRINK
1*HONEY=1*DRINK
1*GRAIN=1*DRINK (still 2x yield of brewing straight as threshing grain is more efficient)

Seeds from plant Yields:
Slightly more than 2 seeds per plant (varies)

Herbalism: Difficult, sparse vegetation wagon-only+peasant starts are tested possible to caravan
[Clustersize:2]

Plump Helmet:
Does not grow in winter, prepare in advance, plant early

Flavor changes but no inherent increase in difficulty due to low yields, more get your feet wet sort of mode.

Brewing Yields: (lowest outcome)
1*PLANT=5*DRINK
1*PLANT_GROWTH=5*DRINK
1*HONEY=5*DRINK
1*GRAIN=5*DRINK (still 2x yield of brewing straight as threshing grain is more efficient)

Seeds from plant Yields:
Slightly more than 2 seeds per plant (varies)

Herbalism: Normal Vanilla

Plump Helmet:
Year round, good safety crop .

The masterwork mod uses a gui that can parse/edit text files.

This is a WIP to allow this module to be tweaked to fit custom user preferences on a worldgen by worldgen level so as to be tweakable by individual end users.

The fake 'pseudo tags' in that mode are meant to allow a gui of the category and power of masterwork to modify values via logic.

They are fashioned after the tags Meph uses to enable/disable parts of masterwork.

Plants:

Replacing whole tags seems easier for syntax/parsing.

   ^*VAR*^-!MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP!-!GROWDUR!-!632!

(parse flag for replacement)-
(name of object so that they can be individually controlled)-
(category of tag so you know what type of value it is)-
(field value, this might need to be written differently and allows the GUI to know what the intended default value is)


   ^*VAR*^-!MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP!-!SEASONS!-!1110! (spring summer autumn winter as Boolean)
   ^*VAR*^-!MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP!-!CLUSTERSIZE!-!INTEGER1-5! (to suggest a range for the GUI unless its made to know this automatically, although it did seem appropriate to continue with 4 arguments for consistency)

Reactions:

 Partial replacement allows for (parse->replace) to effect yields as desired while avoiding problems with material syntax's for now (no need for making a [GENIE_RAW]  )
Leaving all products as pairs with individual yields should allow for a floor-ceiling approach, while support for numbering would allow for more complex binomial distribution modeling for those so inclined 

   ^*VAR*^-!CHEESEAUTO!-!PRODUCT:CHEESE:1!-!100:1!:CHEESE:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:milk:CHEESE_MAT]

Similar syntax prototype here PRODUCT:CHEESE:1 is so the gui knows again what category of replacement it is and what type of item it is adjusting the yield for, while the 1 so that gui can stack them for complicated yields.

 "!100:1!" would be "%chance":INTEGER

   ^*VAR*^-!CHEESEAUTO!-!PRODUCT:CHEESE:2!-!1:1!:CHEESE:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:milk:CHEESE_MAT]

Same thing, place-holding with 1% yield on the second one as I do not know how hard it is to delete the whole line of the raw etc.
