LongLastingFertilizer

Long Lasting Fertilizer

You know how fertilizer disappears after a harvest even though the soil's still good? Yeah, that's annoying. You shouldn't have to re-fertilize every single cycle when your long-life soil has plenty of uses left.

This mod makes fertilizer effects stick around for as long as the soil does. Plant, harvest, replant — your quality bonus carries over. Simple as that.

How It Works

• Fertilizer effects (yield and quality) carry over between grow cycles on the same soil
• Once the soil runs out of uses, the fertilizer clears and you can start fresh
• Can't double-dip — no stacking fertilizer on top of already-fertilized soil
• Your botanist employees won't waste fertilizer on pots that already have it
• Everything saves and loads with your game, no data lost between sessions
• Works for both Mono & IL2CPP backends

Known Issues

• The fertilizer visual effects don't persist between grow cycles. Your pot will look unfertilized even though the effects are still active. You can verify by trying to apply fertilizer with a bottle, it'll block you if the pot already has it.

Installation

• Install MelonLoader 0.7.0 if you haven't already
• Drop LongLastingFertilizer.dll into your Schedule I\Mods\ folder
• That's it. Get back to the grind.

Building From Source

• Clone this repo
• Copy LongLastingFertilizer/Directory.Build.props.example to LongLastingFertilizer/Directory.Build.props
• Edit Directory.Build.props and set ScheduleIDir to your Schedule I install path
• Launch the game once with MelonLoader installed (generates the assemblies we need)
• Open the solution in Rider or Visual Studio and build

Build Configurations

| Configuration | Target | Branch |

|---|---|---|

| Debug | IL2CPP + debug symbols | Main |

| IL2CPP | IL2CPP release | Main |

| Mono | Mono | Alternate (Steam beta) |

Pick your configuration from the IDE toolbar. The built DLL auto-copies to your Mods folder.

Note: Your Steam branch needs to match your build config. Main branch = IL2CPP, alternate branch = Mono.
