Oct 17, 2018 - Some 'love' for Gardening etc.

Okay . .

1)
The 'Mass Storage' containter for Reagents will now accept Daemon Bones and Tradian Blood.

2)
The Cove Garden shop now has an Arborist who will sell the new 'Home Plant Health System' to make life easier for the 'Green Thumbs' in our realm.

This system includes five components:
- a plant Watering system plus the special Garden Water Tub needed to fill it.
- a plant Curing system (add your own Greater potions from bottles or Kegs)
- a plant Healing system (add your own Greater potions from bottles or Kegs)
- a plant Poisoning system (add your own Greater potions from bottles or Kegs)
- a plant Strengthening system (add your own Greater potions from bottles or Kegs)

Each time you DBL click (activate) one of these in your house it will check all your plants and apply the related treatment. The systems check all the plants you own inside the house foundation within 18 tiles from the system's location. The treatment happens in one action. If you have all five systems and they have sufficient supplies in them then five DBL clicks and all your plants should be looked after.

The system has not been 'time tested' so for now . . keep a eye on your leafy friends and let me know if you spot any problem. Refunds cheerfully given. *smiles*

3)
The Cove Garden shop now also has Planter Boxes ready for sale to anyone with no 'green' on their thumbs but who does like plants. These allow anyone (even none gardeners) to choose a plant that will grow inside the planter boxes without treatment required. You will be able to select the plant and colour you wish to display. All you need is One Seed and Ten Fertile Dirt in your pack to use these. They can be used over and over and over until you are happy with the result. The disadvantage (compared with the real gardening system) is . . they are expensive and the plants cannot be moved around outside the Planter Boxes like Decoration plants can. Visit the Planter Box Sales staff in Cove for these boxes.

the potion dispensers seem ok so far, my greater poison one now has 272 potions in it but the water one is not good, I must use the special water tub to fill it and i can only put 1 pitcher of water in the tub at a time and then have to use special water tub to put 1 water in water dispenser 1 at a time, tooo much of a hassle.

So the procedure to add water to special water dispenser is: add 1 pitcher to tub, use tub on water dispenser 5 times( now water dispenser has 5 uses), repeat. 


How about this: make the special water dispenser to have unlimited water.

[Figger]

if you use the water tub on a water trough, it fills the water tub with 100 uses but the uses have to be added to the dispenser 1 at a time. If you fill the tub with pitchers, it only lets you add 1 pitcher ( 5 uses). But i used my special mining/LJ key ( use last object on last target) to add water to the dispenser faster, the dispenser holds only 1000 water and i would suppose the other dispensers only hold 1000 potions each.

I had already watered and potions my plants before i bought the dispensers, but i still had 1 plant that needed water and 2 plant bowls with hard dirt and i used the water dispenser once and it watered the 1 plant and softened the 2 plant bowls with dirt, using 5 waters with one double click on the water dispenser, worked perfectly so far.

*LOL* Drop the entire Tub (drag/drop) onto the Watering System to add all 100 charges.

[Figger]

thanks, the instruction book didnt say that, oh, wait, there was no instruction book. LOL

[Figger]

today the water and potion dispensers worked perfectly but i am thinking a plant might never ask for healing and will definitely never ask for strength potions. So i poisoned a plant on purpose to see if it will ask for healing, i will see tomorrow if it will ask for it.

[Figger]

the over poisoned plant did ask for heal potion but no plant will ever ask for Strength, so you dont need to buy the Strength Potion dispenser because plants will never ask for them, In order for a dispenser to work, a plant must have a minus next to the potion it wants and strength will never have a minus next to it. Strength potions are a preventative potion to help prevent problems, the dispensers help plants after a problem exists.

[Oxican]

That's a pretty important point as I put strength pots on mine every day.

[Figger]

i havent used strength on any yet, if u water them everyday, they will only need poison or cure, if u forget to water them, they will get sick and u have to add heals from bottles, a sick plant wont ask for heals, but heals is what will fix them.

The system works on a "joined" house as well. I locked my system down on one side of the centerline of my double house and it worked on the plants in the "single" portion I was standing in, then I moved across the center line and it worked on that side as well, if that makes sense?
