farming-hysteresis's Introduction

Farming Hysteresis lets you automate enabling and disabling growing zones and hydroponics basins based on the amount of product already in storage.

I got tired of keeping track of these numbers myself, so I made a little mod to do it for me. Hopefully it can be of use to you too.

Operation

The mod adds an "Enable farming hysteresis" to all supported growing zones and hydroponics basins. Only plants that produce a harvestable product are supported.When you enable this setting, the "Enable sowing" button is removed, and sowing is instead controlled by a set of hysteresis bounds. Hydroponics basins typically don't have this setting, but with this mod and hysteresis enabled, sowing also stops on those when appropriate.

When the amount of stored product goes below the lower bound, sowing is enabled. Sowing remains enabled until the amount of stored product goes above the upper bound, at which point sowing is disabled. Sowing remains disabled until the amount of stored product once again goes below the lower bound.

Here's a graph illustrating the hysteresis process:

In this example, we assume the lower bound is set to 500, and the upper bound is set to 1000. As we can see by the three regions:

0-500 is the region below the "lower bound" in which sowing gets enabled if it were disabled,
500-1000 is the region between the "lower bound" and the "upper bound" in which no change to whether sowing is enabled or disabled is made,
1000+ is the region above the "upper bound" in which sowing gets disabled if it were enabled.

What this gives us is a way to build up a buffer of product, then hold off on production while we're consuming some of it, and then turning production back on when we're running low, but before we're running out.

farming-hysteresis's Issues

Add compatibility with sandy and aquatic grow zones from VPE more plants

Can you add compat with sandy and aquatic grow zones from VPE more plants? Right now they have the regular sowing UI
- Pip

Prioritized sowing and harvesting

Based on comments from: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2431191516

having the ability to prioritize the sowing or harvesting of certain zones over others would be very useful also.
- Aeternus

Add a statistics/graph-over-time view to the Hysteresis main tab window

Option for linking sowing to how much processed product you have instead of how much raw material you have

Any thoughts on changing the item quantity that a field is linked to? Like hops -> beer, or psychoid -> yayo?
- recatek

Invest whether this mod is compatible with Smart Farming

Based on comments from: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2431191516

does this work with smart farming?
- greaneyphil

Check Hydroponics support

Based on comments from: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2431191516

does this work with hydroponics?

A search box for the Hysteresis tab

a search box für the Hysteresis tab would be extremly useful. I have a lot of modded plants and finding a specific one takes a while without this feature.

Control harvesting instead of sowing

Based on comments from: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2431191516

Instead of sowing, could we have an option to have it control harvesting instead?
- Sparkrdom

Crop rotation

Based on comments from: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2431191516

Now all I hope to find is a mod that automate crop rotation, so the field can change the crop after every harvest automatically...
[...]
just having two crops and when the prime is at the limit it shift to the other would be very useful I feel, as for restarting the prime, I would think most often I would prefer it to finish the current growth, but an option to select on the individual field would be perfect, though a lot harder to make I suspect.
- Mads

It would go from 5/5 to 6/5 if it was possible to grow something else when above the upper bound.
- RNZTH

The best thing would be if a growing zone would have two or more crops at any time. Once a crop is 100% ready, it can be harvested and at that point there would be a decision on what to grow there

Create a compatibility patch for the Toggle Harvest mod

Based on comments from: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2431191516

would it be possible to create a compatibility patch for the Toggle Harvest mod, given that there are plant mods that add crops that can have multiple harvests before dying and needing to be re-sown the option to automatically disable harvest would be pretty handy.
