Can plants grow inorganic items?
« on: February 17, 2019, 03:09:06 pm »

once im done writing down these garden crops, i have a crop known as a "Crystal Plant", I want to make. It primarily produces rock crystal, with a biproduct that can turn into crystal thread. But whats important is the rock crystal. Is that at all possible?

Yeah the plants can be made of all sorts of materials. Make a reaction that converts that plant into desired thing.
eg. " process crystal plant, reagent: crystal plant structural, product:100% chance of 1 rock crystal boulder, 30% chance of 1 crystal_thread size_15000 "


For example, this not-in-nature plant holds the edible part of "edible salt from rock salt mineral".
Code: [Select]
[PLANT:saltfromminerals] --by TomiTapio for 34.11b. Make it out of rock salt boulders at Grinder shop. Plant's name can't be SALT because that's a hardcoded substance of forgotten beasts.
--value 2 might be correct for cooking balance.

I wouldn't put a product dimension on a rough gem, otherwise looks okay.
similar items as examples:
   [REAGENT:A:3:SMALLGEM:NONE:GLASS_CRYSTAL:NONE]
   [REAGENT:B:1:ROUGH:NONE:GLASS_CLEAR:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:100:3:SMALLGEM:NO_SUBTYPE:INORGANIC:RUBY_STAR]
