Agriculture Overview
A & A Cooking agriculture extends farming with crop specific seasons, moisture, climate ranges, wind tolerance, soil temperature, vigor, pollination, fertility, yield, and quality.
Status: Implemented
The current v0.4.0-alpha.1 build includes nine A & A Cooking crop profiles: Tomato, Onion, Basil, Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley, Mint, Rice, and Soybean.
Current crops
Section titled “Current crops”- Tomato
- Onion
- Basil
- Rosemary
- Thyme
- Parsley
- Mint
- Rice
- Soybean
See Current Crops for every season multiplier, soil range, light requirement, temperature range, humidity range, wind threshold, pollination rule, fertility consumption chance, yield, stage list, and regrowth rule.
Environmental inputs
Section titled “Environmental inputs”Crop growth uses:
- season
- soil saturation
- light
- soil fertility
- ambient temperature
- relative humidity
- wind speed
- storm severity
- soil thermal state
- pollination
- crop vigor
The full calculation is documented on Crop Growth & Vigor.
Cultivated Soil
Section titled “Cultivated Soil”Cultivated Soil stores saturation from 0-14, exposed to crop logic as 0.0-2.0, plus fertility from 0-7. Rain, nearby water, weather driven evaporation, snow, and thaw conditions affect the soil system.
Seasons and climate
Section titled “Seasons and climate”The Game Calendar determines the current season. Each crop has its own seasonal multipliers rather than using one universal growing season.
Local weather and climate provide temperature, humidity, wind, storms, snow, and surface conditions. Exposed crops can be slowed or physically damaged by strong storms.
Pollination
Section titled “Pollination”Some crops benefit from nearby flowers or flowering crops. Others do not require pollination. Pollination bonuses use crop specific search radii and benefit values.
Harvest quality
Section titled “Harvest quality”Harvest vigor affects both quantity and ingredient quality. Harvested A & A Cooking produce begins unwashed and keeps its calculated quality through the ingredient preparation system.
Fertility and Compost
Section titled “Fertility and Compost”Successful growth can consume soil fertility based on the crop profile. Compost restores Cultivated Soil fertility by 2 levels, up to the maximum of 7.
