RedKetchup work in progress....

[RedKetchup]

so i am back to NMT3.0Series: Food


i finally decided, after 2 weeks lol of thinking about it and what i ll do .....

i decided to give up of the dense orchard named "Field"
and let everything going to the standart Orchard 

i ve got to change numbers though. Usually the orchard produce between 50-65 fruit. Wild gathering between 16-22 :S
so i decided to simply change the numbers around and give 36-48 to blueberry and raspberry.

yes wild blueberries by gatherer will produce more 
the Orchard blueberries will produce less than apple in orchard setup but i made them give fruit almost right away the following year instead waiting 3 years an orchard produce.
the extras of first years will maybe compensate giving food very more quickly. also same apply during an orchard life, some are cut and reseed... there too it will produce back faster after reseed.

same for raspberry.

-------------

i redid also the grape trees. i know it wont be perfect..... but i ll keep it as i made it at last. (screenshot 1) they will give 50-65 as regular orchard fruit trees.

i also did the Coconut trees ^^ lol in game they are gorgeous^^ (screenshot 2)

[Fellow Villager]

great! could you add some wood structure to the grapes? usually grape grows on a wood support

[kid1293]

Not funny.
I was doing a tropical greenhouse for growing coconuts.
Took a break and found... coconuts. 

Always one step behind you, RK.

[Paeng]

a tropical greenhouse for growing coconuts.

Ummm... really? Man, coconut trees (palms) are TALL... up to 20, 30 meters... that's gonna be some huge greenhouse 

[kid1293]

Yes, huge. Not small, not tiny.

[Abandoned]

oh nuts, coconuts.    what's wrong with pineapple, mangoes, bananas, oranges, lemons ?

[brads3]

i have those in a greehouse.

[elemental]

Yes, huge. Not small, not tiny.

I like the idea of a large greenhouse for tropical trees very much.    Growing tropical fruit in the snow just isn't realistic at all. I know many players won't care and I know not all maps have snow, but most maps do.

I don't know if you are planning to pre-fill your large greenhouse with plants/trees the way Red has has pre-filled his greenhouses, but I would really like to see an empty greenhouse plus a set of ghost plants so we can fill it ourselves. That way each greenhouse can look different, rather than all of them looking the same. It also lets you match the plants inside to the crops that the greenhouse is producing. Just an idea for you to consider.

Excellent idea @elemental

Just make them all ghosted and with some luck some other mods can just be used as well. For example Kids Deco Pack what fit my Irrigation Channels pretty well and save me a helluvah lot of time not having to create a whole bunch of scrubs.
Why reinvent the wheel when the stuff is already out there?

This saves on poly's too. The modder can just mod a empty greenhouse and be done with it. LOL

[elemental]

CC has a few tropical ghost trees and plants already. Plus Kid has some very tropical-looking ghost plants, too. If it's a huge greenhouse then we should be able to fit some trees in, no problem. Even if it's just in the centre, which leaves room for smaller deco plants around the edges.

@RedKetchup loving the orchard ideas

Ahhh coconuts, some synergy there   Watched Kickboxer: Vengeance last night (must say though, as an aside, Dave Bautista doesn't do any justice to himself as a baddie , but lordy lordy lordy, Jean-Claude ... 56 and still ...  oh my), and there are a couple of coconut references in it.   JCVD quietly chanting coconut will forever visit me in my sleep

Please, (in my best "Oliver" voice may we have some more? Decorations that is, a ghosted coconut decorated like 'Wilson' (a la Tom Hanks' friend from Castaway, or as the coconut from KB:V, that was a hoot!!) or a swinging disembodied head?    The rest of my kickboxer DVD's are on the next shipment over on the next trip, hahaha!!

I like the idea of the empty greenhouse @elemental & @embx61 , it's why I was thrilled when @kid1293 bucked conformity and gutted the tailor/blacksmith from the rowhouses and created 'shelter' from them, players were then able to go and add their own designs to the buildings - definitely could see the same here.  The mod can come in 2 parts - the functional, being the greenhouse and it's production, and the design, with the ghosted decorations - and if they are coded/modelled in the same settings as how EB needs them, then they too can be used with his irrigation channels
Win/Win

Now, back to these coconuts - now, @RedKetchup you can't do Coconuts without Lime
Any little witchling learns that, the first day on the job

Hi Query

Good to see you back again

[RedKetchup]

wow there were alot and alot of replys when i was sleeping lol

essentially :

no there will be no more wood support. it doesnt worked well cause the game turn around the mesh without any control.
yes coconut trees and look weird in snow... but like you said , not all maps have snow. and i made them grow in the 70s degrees and not too much down. it will certainly be kinda a bit bad in cooler environment.

and yes , the next in my list are :
Lemon
Mango
Orange
Pineapple
Apricot

i guess i can add lime to it ... oh also i want kiwis. (here in quebec, canada  we have kiwis. it is growing very nicely in our country)

[Abandoned]

Apricots would be good for wood bakery with bakery plus.    Lots of choices and nice looking fields.

Hi Query

Good to see you back again

Good to be back   Thanks @embx61 




@RedKetchup
That looks like a really good list of fruits, they are common fruits and can be used in different recipes in the future, by different buildings

Yes, Lime is a good addition   Goes with the Lemon, quite a lot actually.

Kiwis are very popular over here too in Australia, you're in good company.    They go well on pavlovas, yum yum yum!!  (Often with passionfruit, but berries in this picture).
