Hydroponics Growth Sync Mod

Author of the Hydroponics Growth Sync Mod: mlie

Hydroponics Growth Sync Mod ensures that plants grown in hydroponics and similar buildings mature at the same time by synchronizing their growth cycles across connected structures.

Hydroponics Growth Sync Features

The Hydroponics Growth Sync Mod groups adjacent plant-growing buildings and synchronizes the growth of plants within each group. This allows for more consistent harvesting and better planning of food production.

How plant syncing works

  • Connected groups: The mod detects groups of adjacent plant-growing buildings and syncs plants within each group separately.
  • Supports modded buildings: Any building capable of growing plants is included, making it compatible with most hydroponics-related mods.
  • Hourly update: Every in-game hour, the mod recalculates building groups and synchronizes plant growth without significant performance impact.
  • Same plant requirement: Only buildings growing the same type of plant are grouped and synchronized.

Debug tools

  • DrawGroups option: Available in the debug menu under TweakValues, it displays group IDs on plant-growing buildings to help identify grouping issues.

Additional notes

  • Building-only sync: The Hydroponics Growth Sync Mod only affects plants grown in plant-growing buildings.
  • Alternative option: If you want growing zones to be synced as well, consider using Plant Growth Sync Mod.
  • Code inspiration: Based heavily on the syncing system from Plant Growth Sync Mod by Lanilor.

Compatibility notes

The Hydroponics Growth Sync Mod should work with most mods that add plant-growing buildings, as it applies to any structure capable of growing plants.
