Trying to make Taro regrow a bit slower and Ferns quicker #16

Closed kaptain-kavern closed 8 years ago

kaptain-kavern commented 8 years ago

I noticed that Taro is regrowing way more quicker than Ferns. That don't seems right/logic to me.

regrow Screenshot taken after several Toxic-Fallout - Taro everywhere

In the code I found <wildCommonalityMaxFraction> set to 2 for Taro (seems to mean that the game permit 2 times more Taro than other - I propose to put that attribute to Ferns)

Please tell me what you think. I will not make the change if you don't approve

lpCoercion commented 8 years ago

Are you able to test this change first? I agree with your assessment. I dont know whether or not changing that specific value is the right answer though. maybe completely removing it? I think having ferns grow the fastest is good, but we want to mhave as little dirt show as possible for a dense jungle look.

kaptain-kavern commented 8 years ago

It's hard to judge as idk how to express or measure what we are talking about but with those changes Ferns seems to behave like Taro does actually.

At start the forest is already there so repartition looks good, it's only after fire or toxic fallouts when the regrowing competition starts. Now ferns are the quickest to regrow but the general pace at which vegetation reconquest dirt zone seems not impacted (that's why I was more for switching the tag to another plants rather than just erase it, and ferns seems the perfect candidate).

Tl,Dr : it only affect the taro/fern ratio but not how plants behave globally ;-)

lpCoercion commented 8 years ago

can you send a screenshot of the after a fire... with ferns at that value?

kaptain-kavern commented 8 years ago

I don't have one. Will do another run and I send you one. No problems

lpCoercion commented 8 years ago

alright cool. you may be able to start a fire in dev tools (or spawn toxic fallout)

kaptain-kavern commented 8 years ago

It was alpha beavers this time but the result is the same. x

Noticed on the left ? A floor of ferns and a few taro. I very much prefer that way. What you think?

lpCoercion commented 8 years ago

yeah thag looks much better :)

you can push out another patch whenever you get the time
