[MOD 0.12.0+] Greenhouses 0.1.0

SpeedDaemon · Post by **SpeedDaemon** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 3:12 am

This is a (very) simple mod that allows producing raw wood, similar to the Tree Farm mod, but without the lag.

I use Bob's mods, which can tear through quite a bit of wood, and the number of tree farms I had to use was killing FPS. This is essentially an assembler (but using the lab graphic, because I'm not an artist, and it kind of looks like a greenhouse) that turns 10 saplings into 50 raw wood every four minutes, which I think is slower than an actual tree farm, but it's easy to edit recipe.lua if you want to tweak it.

The greenhouses are quite a bit more expensive than a tree farm, and use 100kW whether they're running or not (have too keep the grow lamps going!). Tech must be researched, and requires optics (for the lamp ingredients). Saplings are made from one wood, just as in Tree Farm.

Thanks for this. I found out that I couldn't keep up with my wood requirements due to this, although this may be a bit OP. Since you can produce wood from nothing, then turn into coal, and then turn into oil. Guess we just don't build 1000 of those and things stays balanced

Well, the Tree Farm mod works the same way.. 1 wood gets turned into 5 more. Four of these should have about the same output rate, conversion rate, and space requirements as a tree farm. They'd just use a constant 400kW.

The point was that it's not possible to build 50 tree farms without massive lags

thanks

I really like this mod, much simpler, easier to use. I modified the graphics slightly to give a noticeable difference between greenhouses and labs, so I thought I'd share them here

Just drop them into the mod graphics folder and edit the image paths in tehnology.lua, item.lua and entities.lua

Cheers!

i like your mod, i am using it for some hours now and i like it a lot more than treefarm. but could you do an advanced version of it with module slots?

First I'd need a genetic engineering lab to breed special trees with module slots

Ive had a few people I know including some friends ask me how they can use the new green graphics version, so.
Im posting this file for those people that don't know how to code or change lua code or anything of that sort.
So they can also enjoy the different graphic files version of the mod.

Only thing I did was change some codes and paths and added the graphics files.

I do not claim any credit on the creation of the mod itself.

Would you be willing to add the recipies for other trees from other mods to this mod?

Dytechs rubber trees for example?
Or treefarms alien tree addon?

Thanks for the mod btw!

I am with Damrus. Dytech Rubber Trees would be nice, if possible.

I gave this mod a try in my latest map, and I like it. I wouldn't mind a way to speed up growth a bit, but on the other hand, it's making a very nice complement to Treefarm.

Does this work together with treefarm? Meaning can one simply replace the farms with greenhouses or is there a conflict?
If it works, does it work nicely? Meaning, will there be two sorts of saplings with the same recipe or something of the like?
Do the greenhouses produce or reduce pollution. Treefarms definitely reduce it.

I'm using it with Tree Farm. They use different saplings. Greenouses uses "Sapling" and Tree Farm uses "Germling", each costing 1 wood to make. Once grown and harvested, wood is wood either way.

These greenhouses are literally assemblers that produce wood from saplings at a 5:1 ratio (50 wood from 10 saplings), at a slow but constant pace. Since the only ticking entities are the greenhouses, you can place more of them with less lag, but they require (slightly) more space for the same output as a Tree Farm plantation fed with fertilizer, and cost electric power to keep the grow lamps running. I'd say the tradeoff is fair.

Beyond that, the Greenhouses mod doesn't provide or use fertilizer, so it has little to do with the biomass industry of Tree Farm AC.

Would it be too much of a hasle to make the germling and sapling one thing? it's silly to have basically the same thing twice.

Beautiful!

By the way, wouldn't a greenhouse require water as well?
