Settlement crop reduction mod

[MaskedKrusader]

Years ago, I saw someone talk about a mod they used to reduce the amount of food produced by plants (as in the food value in workshop mode). I have scoured Nexus and then Google trying to find it, but now I can't even find a reference to it.  Does this mod exist, or am I just crazy?

To what end are you trying to reduce them? Do you want more plants tended by a single NPC or do you want it to be harder to meet the minimum food requirement?

[MaskedKrusader]

Kind of both.  The person I saw talk about it thought that it was a little incredible how two carrots or a single mutfruit bush could indefinitely sustain a person, so he got the mod that lowered the plants food value.  it took more plants to meet the food requirement, but since the value cap for a farmer is 6 regardless, they would be tending more plants.

Well, by default. I use Workshop Framework which allows you to change that number. Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but it doesn't require editing every plant.

I am also interested in this.

I like large settlments and the super productivity of farmland in this universe makes it so most of my farmers just sit around.

A 40 person settlment can be fed by 7 farmers and there are only so many other jobs to go around.

Yeah, it doesn't look like that mod does what I need.  I'm fine with a single farmer taking care of enough plants to feed six people, I just want it to require more crops to get to that point.

I take it since you are here asking for such a simple mod that you have no modding experience? I am willing to make this but I warn you there will be a side effect that you may or may not want.

In vanilla 4 settlers can produce 24 food. 12 each tato, mutfruit and corn(adhesive recipe) the lower we put the number the higher the output will be. I would reccomend increasing the required ingredients for the adhesive recipe to counter this change.

Also mutfruit should probably not provide twice as much so i would reduce it to the same number as the others. Then there is the question of what to do with the planters including the vault 81 crops. I recommend allowing them to be double the output of the below number chosen. I recommend .3 so the planters would be .6 but the choice is yours.

• .5 = 12
• .4 = 15
• .3 = 20
• .2 = 30
• .1 = 60

Choose.

Edit: Looking through the data I feel like more changes should be made at the same time.

• Add all regular flora(not the wild) to the construction list. blood leaf, mutated fern, hubflower and silt bean.
• Add V81 planter to construction locked behind vault 81 main quest
• Double the planter yield
• Make ALL flora scrappable

None at all, lol.

I'm looking at a mod that reduces the amount of crops deposited in the workshop as well.

.3 sounds like the best one.  The mod I was told about before (that may or may not even exist) had apparently done .25, but had left mutfruit at .5. I always thought mutfruit being double the other crops was weird.

Are you ok with the other changes i detailed?

[MaskedKrusader]

Yeah, it looks good.
