A composting bin bench to help the process of making fertilizer without making it too easy to obtain.

Description

Hello!

While playing Hytale, one of my biggest struggles has been obtaining fertilizer.

The current lack of animal husbandry makes it so Poop becomes a rare resource that cannot be easily produced at your base, which is pretty crappy.

To address this, I decided to create a composting bin, similar to Minecraft to help me make fertilizer, but I didn't want to make obtaining fertilizer too trivial.

Fertilizer is a really useful resource, so I wanted to make sure that while my mod helps to make the process more straightforward, it doesn't make it too easy.

Here are the specifics:

-Composting Bin crafting requirements:
(Tier 4 Farming Workbench)
1. 15 Any wood trunks
2. 50 Plant Fiber
3. 5 Poop



-Viable inputs for 1 fertilizer:

  1. Poop - 5 poop, processing for 90 seconds.
  2. Raw fish - 5 raw fish, processing for 90 seconds.
  3. Raw wildmeat - 5 raw wildmeat, processing for 90 seconds.
  4. Plant Fiber - 100 plant fiber, processing for 180 seconds.
  5. Flowers - 15 flowers, processing for 120 seconds.
  6. Hay - 5 hay bales, processing for 90 seconds.
  7. Sticks - 100 sticks,  processing for 180 seconds.
  8. Crops - 10 crops, processing for 120 seconds.

I know these processing times might seem very long on paper, but I want to preserve some of the rarity of fertilizer while making the process more of a set and forget.

However, the Composting Bin is upgradable with 10 Poop to theoretically make the waiting times shorter by 50% (in testing I am not sure if this is working properly, so it might be more worth it to spend your crap on getting more Composting Bins).

I hope you enjoy the mod, and feel free to offer any feedback!
