Question : Grass #10

Open sootysax opened 9 years ago

sootysax commented 9 years ago

Sorry for all the quesitons:

Is grass growth effected by NPK, pH and Moisture levels?

DeckerMMIV commented 9 years ago

No, the growth is not affected. But the growth of crops - which grass also is - will consume N+PK, pH and moisture at different stages.

Since grass can never wither, it will consume N continuously.

sootysax commented 9 years ago

Though if growth is not affected, does it matter if there is no NPK or moisture in the soil? Aside from realism..

DeckerMMIV commented 9 years ago

Only when harvesting/cutting/moving. The less remaining NPK/moisture there is in the soil, then the yield is lower.

That probably won't be as apparent with grass, as with the other crops.

Dzi4d3k commented 9 years ago

In fact it is. Growing grass will consume all values (ex. growth-stage 3), and if left without care, cause yield to be severely impacted. I don't have exact number but I know that it is significant. I would say that in worst case is about 20% of optimal values.

I'm wondering what growth stages does grass go through? Does it step through the full 7 growing stages and then restart at growth stage 1 even after being mowed? is it a cycle of growth stages 1 and 2?

Dzi4d3k commented 8 years ago

Grass has 4 grow stages: 1 - sown 2 - frist visible growth stage 3 - second visible stage 4 - fully grown

If you cut gras you to 2, like already grown after first night after sowing.
