Immersive Farming [HyRise]

Video Showcase:

HyRise farming is a mod that updates the progression system of Hytale farming, with an aim to make it more engaging and immersive.

Dryad NPC Update:

The Dryad NPC from the Terraria NPCs Mod is now available as a merchant NPC that you can trade with.

She will buy and sell various different plants and crops for life essence (these trades will likely change over time).

Note: If you just want the immersive farming, and aren't interested in the NPC, use version [HyRiseFarming v1.3]

Immersive Farming:

Immersive Farming is a simple mod that aims to change the progression method of farming to be slightly more realistic. The crafting recipe for making all of the basic seeds in the farming crafting bench have been removed, and seeds instead must be obtained by putting the grown plant into the salvager.

The goal is to encourage exploration and give reason to actually harvest plants you find in the wild. Instead of just needing to upgrade your farming bench to unlock pumpkins, you have to go out and find some pumpkins, which you can then start to grow into a proper crop of plants.

Sunflower seeds can still be crafted from the bench, as well as eternal seeds, since using Life Essence and the Plant to make seeds makes a lot more sense than just turning life essence into seeds. Each plant will return 2 seeds when put through the Salvager.

Like the rest of HyRise, this mod is still under development. Feel free to give any suggestions for how this system can be improved, because while this feels better than just mindlessly farming Life Essence, it still isn't really a deep progression system.
