Plants changes

[Halcyon]

Thanks for the changes to the plants.  The syntax for the ones I have run into today have been much simpler, and have supplied some pleasant opportunities for research.

[Vanth]

You're welcome.

For those who haven't run into this, I've been making some invisible plants visible, virtual plants un-virtual, and transferring more plants to the 'pick <object> plant' system rather than containers.  Work in progress.

[Gunnerblaster]

Ah, I see. Had no idea what Halcyon was talking about, at first.

Thanks!

[amish overlord]

Yes, thank you vanth.

Wow, that's NIFTY!

I'm really glad trees arn't containers anymore. You won't BELIEVE the stuff I've found in trees... I mean, a chair? REALLY!?

[Ammut]

Ha! A chair in a tree is pretty strange...

...I like the changes I've read about.  Haven't gotten to check them out just yet but will provide feedback soon enough.

[Vessol]

Awesome. Now I have the urge to make a ranger.

[Armaddict]

Work much appreciated, Vanth.  Always been a little nuance that could get irritating.

[Gunnerblaster]

I'm loving everything that I'm coming across.

Now that we have more plantlife, I'd like to see perfumes looked at like seasonings were, as far as being able to craft more of them with the new plantlife.

[Vanth]

That is planned for the future.

[Thunkkin]

That is planned for the future.

Don't forget sensitive masculine scents!

Also, LOVE all the changes and so forth. Many thanks.

I've always loved playing with the herb helpfile docs, I'm so happy it's represented in the world now. It's a whole new facet of the game to explore that was widely ignored.

Hey Vanth, have you made any changes to what items can be brewed or not? As there is a particular item I've picked off of a plant that could be brewed even a week ago, I think, and can no longer be done. I've bugged it in game, but thought it might just have to do with the changes you've made. Any idea? Or do I need to be more specific with the item I picked?

[Twilight]

Rock on.

[Ammut]

I like what I've seen so far.  I stumbled upon a few plants I had no idea were there before (they were containers in the room previously).  I've not tested out the ability of watering plants yet, but will give it a try sooner or later.  Maybe I'll make a plant-loving dwarf.

Woohoo, 777 posts.

[Ashes]

I've had a front-row seat to the ongoing growing and the appearance of certain plants lately.

All I have to say is, it's much appreciated, and keep up the good work.

This goes for floristry, too... the red-headed stepchild of crafting skills.  Will staff currently take recipes for the new plant products?

Yes, there is one item, and will be a few more, that will not be valid for brewing anymore.  On the other hand, there are a number of new or previously not findable objects that can replace the ones I remove.

Please wait until a staff member posts a request for submissions. I am still busily going through all the plants, checking out their scents, tastes, and descriptions, and seeing what seems like it would be good for which purpose.

Just to clarify, I didn't feel that this particular item was something that you could effectively crush with a mortar/pestle.

Aye a Physician's wet dream...wet plant dream...For you physicians and rangers that love to sit around a tweak your herbs. Excellent work you all.

Those are all craftable by florists, too.  And while they will occasionally randomly load on the current perfume-sellers, you'll want a PC crafter in order to make a regular supply.

[Twilight]

Awesome.

And now that we have more plantlife (and perfumes), I'd like to see soaps looked at like seasonings (and perfumes) were, as far as being able to craft more of them with the new plantlife (and perfumes).

Heh.

edited to add:

I'd even be willing to write up a few if you run out of unwilling volunteers.  Although I would rather have someone else do them so I could discover them.

And maybe the couple of soap recipes that make no sense whatsoever could be fixed too.

Aaaawesome.  Have florists always been able to make perfumes?  I don't remember seeing perfume recipes in the florist helpfile before now.
