Mystery Mushroom Mahogany Tree Behavior Modification

Modify the behavior of special trees, specifically how to obtain seeds

Mystic Mushroom Mahogany Trees behaviour

🌟Module introduction

This mod was created to make it easier for players to replant Mystic Trees! 🎯 The goal is similar to the fruit tree mechanic added in version 1.6 - you can get seeds when you cut down the mystery tree so you can replant it somewhere else. Some additional optional settings are also provided!

⚙️ Options & Compatibility

This module modifies some configurations of the Mysterious Tree, Mushroom Tree and Mahogany Tree:

• 🔧 **Configurable Options**: Provides 7 different tree behavior modifications
• ⚠️ **Compatibility Note**: Some or all options are not compatible with the Better Wild Trees mod
• 🎨 **Texture Conflict**: The ability for mahogany trees to grow moss may conflict with recolor mods that change mahogany tree sprites

🌳 Modifiable content

**Cut down trees to get seeds**

• **Mysterious Tree Drops Seeds**: The probability can be set to 0.0 (original/disabled), 0.75 (same as other trees) or 1 (guaranteed to drop)
• **Mushroom trees drop seeds**: The probability can be set to 0.0 (original/disabled), 0.75 (same as other trees) or 1 (guaranteed to drop)
• **Mahogany trees drop seeds more frequently**: settable probability to 0.5625 (original), 0.75 (same as other trees) or 1 (guaranteed to drop)

**Growth mechanism optimization**

• **The mystery tree is more affected by tree fertilizer**: In the original version, the mystery tree and the mahogany tree grow at the same rate (the probability of growing to the next stage every night is 0.15). After using tree fertilizer, the mahogany tree's growth probability increases to 0.6, while the mystery tree only increases to 0.3. Enabling this option also increases the Mystery Tree's growth probability to 0.6
• **Mysterious tree drops seeds**: The mysterious tree can drop seeds on the ground. You can also shake the mysterious tree to get seeds. The probability will be the same as other wild trees.

**Moss Growth**

• **Mahogany trees can grow moss**
• **Mushroom trees can grow moss**

⚖️ Important notes on balance

**Balancing considerations regarding the number of seeds dropped**:

When you meet the seed drop conditions when cutting down trees, it is possible to get 2 seeds instead of 1! 😮 In the original version, the Mysterious Tree and Mushroom Tree did not drop any seeds when cut down, now when you set the drop probability to be non-zero, you may get 1-2 seeds.

**Recommended Settings**:

• Set drop probability to at most 0.75 to maintain the rarity of these trees
• The goal of the mod is to allow you to replant when decorating your farm, not to over-acquire
• For players who really have trouble finding the Mysterious Tree Seeds, you can choose to enable the 5th option

🗺️ Development Plan

**Possible future features**:

• Investigate whether moss can be added as a layer on tree sprites to be compatible with SVE trees and any recolor mods
• Further suggestions are welcome!

**Features that have been tried but will not be implemented**:

• Let SVE trees grow moss: It is technically feasible, but it involves modification of art resources and I don’t want to change other people’s art works.
