Mod request / advice. Making herb gathering less passive.

[Corynorhinus]

Would it be possible to make it so meditation wipes any unused herbs in your inventory (and any currently dropped on the ground)?

 

This, i feel, combined with any mod that makes meditation mandatory for potion/oíl/bomb crafting, would make the act of gathering herbs a more conscious event.

 

So instead of picking every bush you come across, you'd look for herbs when you actually know you'll need them.

 

Any thoughts?

Removing/deleting the ones in your inventory whenever you meditate from the menu should certainly be doable and easy. Not sure what you mean by the ones dropped on the ground (radius?).

 

Thing is I'm not sure if most alchemy crafting mods that make alchemy require "meditation" and herbs actually run the game's menu meditation functions rather than replacing them with their own meditation animation trigger and timelapse functions so it might work not work for that purpose, might have to edit your alchemy crafting mod itself instead rather than use a separate mod. Try your alchemy mod's comments section.

Thanks for the quick response!

 

This whole thing actually drove to try my hand at modding the game files at some point but clearly I lack coding knowledge. I will try looking at the mod's own forums, you are probably right about the edit having to take place within the boundaries of a preexisting meditation mod.

 

As for the "the ones on the ground", heh, I didn't articulate adequately. I mean that the edit should be such that, if the player were to drop some herbs on the ground before meditating, those should be deleted aswell.

 

Thanks again!
