infinity botania flower withering

after reading the manual it seems that flowers are "withering"
also got several reports/complains about that
could we disable that?

Code:

	# Set to anything other than -1 for passive generation flowers (dayblooms, nightshades, hydroangeas) to die after a specific amount of ticks. 24000 is 2 Minecraft days, that's a recomended value.
	I:passiveWither.time=24000

Spoiler: screen

u can see break particles

 

I suggest changing the time to a week

 

What does the withering DO?

 

Deletes flowers after a certain amount of time

 

Does this affect mana generating flowers?

 

...yes, yes it does

 

then why isn't it disabled? this is trolly :/

 

Well considering it became enabled after the infinity servers were updated to the new version, I would assume it is now the default config option in the newer version of botania/infinity.. meaning either vazkii intends for it to be that way or the FTB team does... and server owners then have the option to disable it if they want to let people continue playing on easy mode..

 

yes, but i shouldn't be forced to spend thousands of resources to automate production of the flowers just to have an O.K. stable supply of mana, i feel like thats a change that should be undone now :/

 

I would have thought you would appreciate the challenge, Mr Automation-king?

Poll added.

 

it's not even a challenge, it's been done really easily before, it's a nuance, i shouldn't have to be stricken to slow mana generation if i don't want to have them autoprocessed

 

Like I said, if Vazkii or the FTB team intentionally changed the default configs to be this way, then yes you SHOULD be forced to if you want to play infinity (which you don't even play any more anyway if im not mistaken?)..

Also as stated it only affects the 3 PASSIVE generation flowers.. all the others are unaffected so this config is just intended to make the early game a bit more challenging but once you get to Thermalilys or Endoflames it no longer matters if you early game mana gen begins to wither once you have some better generating flowers to take over.

 

Thanks. Fixed No to clarify the original setting by pack/mod author.

 

OH, this makes more sense, i still don't think that having the worst flowers that take forever to get the other ones going should wither off and die, you can't get super mana generation as easily as you should if your flowers are dying halfway through your use of them :/

 

But that is my point.. in infinity 1.8.2 it is turned ON by default.. so a vote for No would be a vote to ignore how the FTB team intends infinity to be played..

 

Ugh I need to read before I write...can you change it back please =(

 

xD lucid

 

what i also want to know is, what flowers are affected by it
the config says "passive"
yet all of my botania flowers were gone
was that the update or are actually ALL affected by it?

 

I still had some Endoflames and one 1 rose arcana. All my hydros and day blooms are gone, which where mostly floating flowers which kinda sucks.
