@bing bong, MrLoLs
Their pruning speed is changedto increases their buffs from high level trees.

@he who divided by zero
Iirc. I haven’t changed that. You could probably modify it yourself though.

@Jacubus
Build more shrines (etc.) to increase the number of dryads.

Until you have a tree level high enough to get 3 dryads it is better to use the other castes.

Dryad which spawn more seeds do not want to work as connection strength is too low. Is it on purpose or not?

How does this affect the ideology meme that speeds up pruning speed?

I'm not sure if this has been answered somewhere else but is there a way to edit the medicine generation speed of a medicinemaker through the mod menus or do I need to edit the XML? If so, which line do I need to edit?

It happens to the best of us, especially if you have many mods active without knowing a 100% what each of them is doing individually. Happened to me as well. Read the mod page, got wiser in the process ;)

Nevermind im just stupid, my brain hasnt procces teh 100% less prouning for some forsaken reason T-T

great mod, have a good day <33
and sorry for bothering and being stupid qwq

I just wanted to play a medieval playthrough and this is a big bummer, and wanna know how to solve it so I dont have each tree with a single dryad ;w;

I've being having a problem witht he mod for some reason, even tried playing it alone with no extra mods and the issue persist:
Whenever I plant a Dryad tree and connect it to a pawn, automatically for some reason the default desirable value wont move from 0, and when I move it it goes back after a few ticks, then I tried cheating and with GodMode enable put the tree to 100 of his values and then after a few tick went down to 25, and it will stay there permanently.

Is this suppose to be like this or am I doing something wrong?

how does this interact with the gauranlenkin from the phytokin expanded ?

@WREN_PL
The 100% level is unlocked by becoming a modder!

That's such awful gaslighting XD

"just beyond reach"

@FlareFluffsune
Usually the issue is that you have it too close to another Gauranlen Tree. The easter-egg-tier levels are extremely picky.

@WREN_PL
Truly Divine is the intended max. Anything beyond that was more intended as a secret, hence why the UI doesn't tell your about it.

@CaptainSpam
The % isn't representative of the level, It never reaches 100% because after 90% each 1% just corresponds to one extra dryad. It is mostly there in case another modder wants a tree/castes that spawns a ton more dryads.

@FlareFluffsune

Nevermind, it seems the max for 1.6 has been changed to 8 Animus stones. 1.5 has a max of 12. Check if your connected pawn has a +42 mood buff as that should be the last level.

For 1.6 "Beyond Divinity" is at 8 stones and "Truly Divine?" is at 6 stones.

Information regarding the levels can be found in GaurenLevelDefs.xml, and for the buffs given to pawns you can find those in Hediffs.xml

Really? Because I had 20 around one at one point and it was still at "Truly Divine" lol

@FlareFluffsune Next and final level is 12 animus stones.

I have managed to get Truly Divine with 8 Animus Stones but the mood descriptor of my pawn says there must be a way to get higher. But I haven't figured it out lol

Would be nice if there was some kind of spoilered tutorial for that.

I can't for the life of me reach the max level for trees.

I even tried using dev mode, but still can't reach max level.

Regardless, absolutely love the little buggers being actually helpful. I dont think my colonists have cleaned or hauled anything in quadrums with the six carriers zipping around the base

Good day, I am having difficulty bumping my connection past 92%. I have gathered 12 anima stones, have a small gold shrine and a few large jade ones. There is no more tooltips regarding further improvements in the tree interface that i can see and I am not sure what to try.

Just in case it was a bug (which i dont think it is?), I restarted the game, re-downloaded the mod, and broke/restored connection to the tree.

tree spirits? are you sure you're on the right mod?

Could we please delineate the area where the tree spirits operate? I have been killed by the tree spirits several times already. Please...

I don't understand the spoilers section. What does it mean?

I'm still on 1.5 and I've recently tried out the Woodmaker Dryads and I just noticed that they don't have a zoning priority. When you're able to would you be willing to add that feature?

Okay that explains it! Because I added this after I started my current game I set the pruning multipler to 10000% haha Honestly I might keep it because that 10000-20000% manipulation makes burning through bills so nice, especially components lol

@FlareFluffsune
That sounds like something broken. The consciousness is using regular vanilla XML methods for scaling. Probably you've got something setting Pruning speed to infinity or something? That is what it scales.

@Tal'Raziid
It should grow at least one, but they will need some shrines to level up.

@Spesh
If you want you can change the XML. I don't currently have a setting for it though.

@Flurbel
I've not implemented anything like that.

So this is the first time i've seen a Crucifier and I think they may be a little-- broke because they keep blowing my own colonists legs off if they're in close combat lol

I think there could be a miscalculation somewhere in your code because I have Avatar level connection and my pawn has like 7500% consciousness and the only effect is coming from the connection lol

Also, whats the maximum amount of animus stones a tree will accept? Does it just keep going up until the limit of the tree radius?

I have a second gauranlen tree, but it doesnt appear to grow dryads; does it have to reach a certain size first? (i planted it from a seed)

is there any way to disable the flowers/turrets that spawn when using this mod? I'm using the Anima Theme retexture mod, and they're unaffected (still bright orange, instead of that nice light teal)

Is there an option to still use the pruning mechanic as well as the harmony mechanic?

Ah gotcha, thanks!

@Tal'Raziid
The mod option that turns of harmony-building penalties basically just multiplies those penalties by 0 to make the building have no negative effect.

It was a bit of a quick-fix solution.

Gotcha.
Also the red lines still show up pointing to my fences when i toggle the harmony-building interaction off and restarted; are the red lines unrelated to that option?

@Tal'Raziid
That box is used as a bit of a level indicator instead. Also for compatibility reasons I didn't want to delete it.

Risk of some random mass-tweak mod somewhere exploding if I did.

@Septentrix
Seems to be some issue with the cleaning job of the carriers. I'll see if I can reproduce it myself later.

@Sammich
Slightly. Their increase pruning ability means their buffs from a high-level tree will be higher.

@MrT
Thanks Mr. T :D

Does this actually get rid of the Pruning bar/box?

does this interact with the VRE gauranlenkin in any way?

I've been enjoying the mod a ton, but unfortunately I do have a issue with the carrier dryads. This debug message pops up every second whenever I do use the carriers. Would you happen to know what the issue is?

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/b49a65d743066e44bc8c742f8ad54ac3

I'm glad my research into this tech was worth it. Love the rework. Should be default to DLC.

@Bodacious Cowboy
Probably. Excepting if there is stuff that changes pruning levels. That will most likely be overridden by this mod.

@Alynu
Thanks! :)

I love this mod so much

Does this work okay with VPE - Awoken Gauranlen?

@fr0
1. No downside, but you miss possible buffs to more pawns.
2. Nothing. You can caravan just fine.

@lordlycless
The impaler flowers (2nd variant yoy unlock) are basically artillery with a 1-tile explosive.

Note that they are a bit friendly-fire prone, so be careful building killboxes near them.

@Catbot
No, you can still have any number. No change from my side.

does this introduce a limit on how many trees you can have? every time i try and plant a fifth tree one seems to die at random

Just noticed in my playthrough, the thornshooters can shoot completely over/through stone walls. Had some raiders try to bash through a wall I'd built to block off the valley near my trees, and the trees were killing them from the other side of the wall.

You should put the shrine score in the stats description / info card

why tree defenses not kill alpha beavers coming to eat tree?

Questions:

1. Can I have multiple trees connected to the same person? Is there a downside?
2. What happens if the person connected to the tree leaves on a caravan?

@Arobain They're (childhood) backstories that allow a pawn to meditate at the anima tree(i.e. natural meditation type). Usually they're tribal backstories and capturing pawns from a tribal raid is the most common way of getting them, but if you start with the tribal scenario your pawns and any children in the colony should have them as well.

Thank you for the update, and again, thank you so much for making Dryads playable for yet another Patch. :D
