RnR Mycology

Description
What is this then?
RnR Mycology is (going to be) a deep dive into mushroom foraging and cultivation. Yes, it's a very niche mod for a very niche interest, and it's very much WIP right now.

Support
Please @ huey0404 on the PZ Modding Community Discord or use the comments or bug thread on Steam. I generally ignore random DMs.

Features
Current:
  • A wide range of gourmet, poison, medicinal and active mushrooms to find with the vanilla foraging system
  • Recognisable icons for each species
  • A skill-based identification system
  • Can be cooked in many vanilla recipes, cooked alone or eaten raw
  • Can be composted when rotten
  • Lootable Mycology skillbooks
  • Forageable at most times of the year except midsummer and midwinter
  • More commonly found after rain, in spring and autumn
  • Balanced and tested in multiplayer
  • Should seamlessly slide into an existing save/server
Planned:
  • Additional gourmet, medicinal, poisonous and active mushrooms, and truffles!
  • Recognisable 3d models and textures for each genus and species
  • New recipes
  • A detailed cultivation system with skill-based progression through cultivation teks
  • Growing mycelium from spores and fruit clones on agar plates (lootable and craftable)
  • Autoclaving, pasteurisation and sterile lab work
  • Grow tents and lights
  • Humidity and temperature management
  • The supplies you need to maintain your culture library and grow your mushrooms
  • Preparation of medicinal tinctures and MDs
  • An extremely rare and difficult to craft single-dose Knox Infection antidote (endgame bite insurance) - optional
  • Medicinal effects
  • Psychedelic effects (trip balls!) Remember set and setting, as a bad trip in the apocalypse could be fatal...
  • Isolation of Penicillium fungus for antibiotics
  • Badger and snake plushies for fellow fans of 2008 memes

Known Issues

Release Notes
2023.4
  • Removes vanilla mushrooms from the foraging tables. If you can't find any mushrooms after starting a new save in midsummer... they don't appear in midsummer! Watch Life and Living!
  • Fixes the erroneous tooltip on Mycology skillbooks.
  • Fixes the transparency on icons.
  • Adds initial Spanish translation - gracias @Vasher
  • Adds a small stress debuff to unidentified mushrooms. As the saying goes: pick one for you and one for the coroner.
  • Adds item translations for future i18n support.

I'm really excited to hear that the B42 version is gonna work with Sapph's cooking! :) I wish there was a patch that'd let me use both for B41, but it is what it is, and I look forward to this mod's bright future. ^_^

Just remind me when there're changes.This mod is pretty cool.

Thanks @Neko. Probably best to hold further translations for now until the B42 version as everything is changing.

Hi, i have posted a chinese i18n file in the discussion

Note we"ve spoken to Sapph and we understand the root of the issue with other food mods. We're setting the b42 build up to work with SapphCooking, and provide a toggleable option for vanilla mushrooms to allow other mods to work normally.

Please note I've added a WIP Guide that will describe in detail how the mod will work in b42. https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3118227740

Update: We're working on a b42 version of the mod with new features. Due to b42's changes, we can't easily support both versions, so here's our plan:

* This mod stays as-is for b41 until b42 stable release
* Development continues on a separate unlisted b42 DEV version
* Once b42 is stable with multiplayer, we'll update this mod for b42 only
* If someone wants to maintain a b41 version, we're open to discussing a repository fork

We're still monitoring your suggestions - all welcome, no promises.

Mush love

You guys should add lactarius 'Milky Caps'. They are delicious.

I love this mod so very much. We should have spawn bags/sacks and spore prints, liquid cultures and spore syringes, sterile technique lab equipment or PF tech the works. I'll help if I can. Love it!

Hi all, we're still interested in doing this with B42 once it gets closer to stable. Meanwhile we're working on other things. We see all your comments even if we can't reply to everyone, thanks for your enthusiasm.
