Features

• Auto-harvest — fully grown castle plants are harvested automatically every 5 seconds and deposited into your Harvest chests.
• Growth acceleration — all plants within the weapon's radius grow faster as long as the Fertilizer chest is stocked, even without a weapon.
• Weapon-based radius — the tier of the weapon placed in the Fertilizer chest determines how large the harvest area is (11 tiers, from Bone to Shadow Matter).
• Multi-fertilizer support — Bone (1 credit) and Grave Dust (2 credits) are supported by default. Any item can be added via PrefabGUID in the config.
• Smart consumption — cheapest fertilizer items are always consumed first to preserve the more powerful ones.
• Weapon durability drain — the weapon loses durability proportional to the number of plants harvested (configurable per tier).
• Multiple Harvest chests — items are distributed across all Harvest chests in range, nearest chest first.
• Multi-territory support — each castle territory can have its own independent Fertilizer chest.
• Duplicate detection — if two Fertilizer chests are found in the same territory, the mod disables itself for that territory and logs a warning.
• Chat commands —.nb info shows live farm status;.nb reload (admin only) reloads the config without restarting the server.
• Fully configurable — every setting (chest keywords, consumption rate, growth multiplier, per-tier radius, per-tier durability loss) is editable in the BepInEx config file.
• Server-side only — clients do not need to install anything.

Installation (step by step)

All of the following must be done on your dedicated server, not on a client machine.

Step 1 — Install BepInEx

Download BepInExPack_V_Rising from the link above.

Extract the contents so your server folder looks like this:

└──...

Step 2 — Install VampireCommandFramework

Step 4 — Start the server

Start the server once. NightBloom will generate its configuration file at:

You can now edit that file to customize the mod (see Configuration File).

To apply config changes without restarting the server, use the.nb reload command in-game (admin only).

First-Time Setup

Fertilizer Chest

Name any storage chest in your castle so that its name contains fertilizer or fert (not case-sensitive).

Only one Fertilizer chest is allowed per castle territory. If you place two in the same territory, the mod will disable itself for that territory and log a warning until you remove the duplicate.
