FarmingPlantEasilyFix

Compatibility patch between Smoothbrain's Farming and Advize's PlantEasily.

Without it, only the first few crops of a PlantEasily grid get Farming's faster growth and higher yield. The rest grow at vanilla speed and give vanilla amounts, even though the whole grid was planted by the same player at the same skill level.

Install

Requires Farming and PlantEasily to be installed already; they are not listed as dependencies because they are published on different registries.

Server only is enough. Put the mod on your dedicated server and every player's grids are fixed, whether or not they have this mod installed. Players don't need it.

Installing it on clients as well is optional. It does the same fix locally and additionally lets Farming's Ignore Biome Level apply to bulk-planted crops. It is harmless to have it in both places.

No configuration. Check BepInEx/LogOutput.log for [Info :FarmingPlantEasilyFix] Server-side ZDO fix installed.

Why this happens

Farming remembers your skill level on each crop when it is planted, but only for crops placed through the game's normal placement code. PlantEasily places the extra grid crops through its own code, so Farming never sees them. Farming's own multi-plant feature still works, which is why the crop you click plus one or two neighbours are fine and the rest are not.

This patch fills in the missing skill level on those crops. On the server it does so as the crops arrive from the client; on a client it does so at the moment PlantEasily places them.

Limitations

• If the host of a non-dedicated (Steam-invite) game plants a grid, they need the mod on their client; the server-side fix only sees crops sent over the network.
• Berry bushes, mushrooms and other pickables planted with the cultivator are not affected, because Farming doesn't boost those either.

Compatibility

Built against Farming 2.2.3 and PlantEasily 2.2.0. Both mods are hooked by reflection, so minor updates should keep working; if a hook goes missing after an update the log says so.

Credits

This is only a small bridge between two mods that do all the real work. Go support them:

• Farming by Smoothbrain. The skill, the growth and yield bonuses.
• PlantEasily by Advize. The grid planting and bulk harvest.

This patch contains no code from either mod; it only hooks their public behaviour with Harmony. If either author ships a native fix, this mod becomes unnecessary and will be retired.
