About Ex's Better Farming

By default, the growth cycle for crops is incredibly short. With water and light, crops grow in just 1 day. Coming from Vintage Story, I wanted a bit more of a challenge. (recommend to pair with a hunger mod)

This mod makes adjustments to the time period growth cycles and the growth modifiers that affect them for all vanilla crops. Penalties for having no water/light are much harsher, and all modifiers are rebalanced to make fertilizer much more rewarding to use.

Total growth times are as follows (in minutes):

Vanilla Better Farming

Dry (No modifiers) 62 217.19

Water 35.46 124.11

Water+Light 15.51 54.30

Water+Light+Fertilizer 8.62 30.17

I'm open to suggestions and feedback on this mod!
