Things to know

Full Sun: 8:10am - 3:50pm
Night: 5pm - 7am
Week's Voids: /info Twisted Thistle
Down Load VeggieTales (Make a note of where it is installed)

Step 1

• Locate the folder where VeggieTales is installed
• Locate and edit the file config_thistle.txt

1. 
   This settings should not need to be changed. VT will only use Dung (max_dung: Nit) Saltpeter (max_saltpeter: Pot), Water (H2O) and Air (Oxy) but if you are desperate for a recipe you can change this settings to attempt to get what you need. However, typically it's the voids that prevent success. Note: if you change these setting you will need a good amount of these ingredients in you pocket while running the macro. Without changing them you only need jugs of water.
2. 
   
   • This section is used for setting the voids
   • Ensure you start with all values set to 1
     
   • Type /info Twisted Thistle and ensure the voids are valid for the current day.
     
   • Set a void by changing the 1 to 0 for that Rule.
     • Example: 10 Car -> 5 Asc means to set rule_Car_Asc to 0.
3. 
   • This section is used for listing your silkworm farms requirements, you can change the text following the "label:" to anything you want.
   • Examples:
     • desired A-C~F+N+ = Low in Asc, Average in Car, High in Fol, High in Nia
   • In the example above I have 3 silkworm farms so I have listed all 3 of their requirements but I have commented out 2 of them. You can get recipes for all 3 in 1 run if the 2 were not commented but I like to run each requirement separately.
4. 
   • This section is used for listing the thistle you have in stock, you can change the text following the "label:" to anything you want.
   • VT will use this section to determine if you already have thistle in stock that matches the requirements. If you do not have any in stock then remove these lines. NOTE: I suggest you remove all but 1 of them and comment out the last one so you have one to use for syntax.

• Save and close the file.

Step 2

• Run VT NOTE: If this is the first time to run it there may be updates available, get them.
• Click the Thistle Mode button and let it run to completion. NOTE: I suggest you keep the command window active for better performance, this may take awhile on slower machines.

Step 3

• Go back to the folder where VT is installed and edit the file history.txt. NOTE: If your running several requirements separately rename this file to history1.txt and repeat Step 1 and Step 2 commenting the last runs requirement and uncommenting the next one, renaming the history file accordingly.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page.

1. 
   • Notice the label is what you typed in for the label in Step 1 section 3
   • Notice the line that starts with "Best for" ends with (D). This indicates it is a day time recipes. Check the top of this page for the best time range for "Full Sun". If it is (*) it is a night recipe.
