RnR Mycology

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.

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

• @huey – all the things
• @Burnzoire – tooling, code and code review
• @Psycho – balancing and art

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

• The 3x XP bonus from reading Mycology 1 may persist when you hit Mycology Level 3[github.com], and so on at higher levels. Or it might be an artifact of changing skills as admin. Needs live testing.

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.
