Jay's Thistles

• 1. find out the current voids (/info twistedthistle)
• 2. open Talescript, VT, config_thistle
• 3. set all to 0 (voids that weekly changes)vb; rule_nit-asc = 1 becomes: rule_nit_asc= 0

• 4. under rosirazor, I write: desired "label:JaylenaeYbarre"

desired (what my worms need comes here - ex A+N-P~T~

• 5. save the notepad
• 6. open VT, Thistle mode (get about 40 steps here for the macro - this list will be saved in history file) every list ends with thistle, check if mine is there too

• 7. Open talescripts, VT, luascript, thistle_°custom, and notepad opens

• 8. look line " instructions= (here are about 40 steps for the macro, I replace them with the ones I find on the history file

• 9. save notepad
• 10. pin the gardens, rechts top = VT take (thistle_lua)

!!in inventory: seeds and jugs, careful: all gardens same

Growing Thistles with Veggietales

Step 1 - Get voids and be sure someone has tested them for day and night. Believe it or not the getting of voids is the hard part LOL. Try Twisted Thistle info for voids.

Step 2 - Enter voids in VeggieTalesnew>config_thistle file. When you place a zero next to a rule it creates a void. For example a void for Nit_Asc would look like "rule_Nit_Asc 0"

Step 3 - Enter your desired thistle

written like this:

desired "label: YOURNAME"

desired A-F~P+T+

if you write it like this:

//desired A-F~P+T+ it won't be searched ) Save and close.

Step 4: Open VeggieTales and run Thistle mode. This will create a series of recipes if the voids are suitable.

Step 5: Open history in VeggieTalesnew folderScroll to the bottom and check percentages. If it is in the 85% range you probably can grow an accurate thistle, below that you may need to experiment. Try the "Best for . . ." recipe first. Copy the recipe, but not the letters saying what it will produce at the top and bottom, just the list of numbers.

Step 6: Go to luaScripts folder. Open thistle_new (no zeros in name)

a) Change local expected_gardens to = your thistle garden number

b) Paste in recipe after: "instructions = {"

It should begin something like this:

instructions = {

0,0,0,1,33,

It should end something like this:

0,0,1,1,99,

};

(These numbers represent the various nutrients and sunlight, the first line translates to "use 1 oxygen, 33 sun" and the last to "1 water 1 oxygen and full sun" they are just examples.)

c) Change sun to the last number on your recipe list, so for this example you scroll up to the line right above instructions:

local last_sun = 33 and change it to 99 in this example. Save and close or minimize.

Look at your thistle gardens, be sure they are all set to the number you just entered (33 or 99) Night growing is unaffected by these numbers so no need to change them after dark, but you will need to change the recipe. You can plant change to desired light and abort to fix them.

ASNATH SAYS:33 CLOSED, 99 OPENED, NO MATTER WHAT

Step 7 - Pin all gardens, I use veggitales arranger to set them up, directions there.

Step 8 - make sure you have water and thistle seeds

Start Veggietalesnew thistlenew script and enjoy :-)

On the following figure (Figure 2) you will find an approximate sketch showing when you can safely use which recipes.

• During dusk and dawn the Sun value is constantly changing, making it insanely difficult to get any working recipes with predictable results.
• On the figure (Figure 2), the growing times for night are provided with the assumption that the canopy is closed. With canopy open, night recipes work from around 6 pm to 6 am. The reason for this large difference is that "night time" requires very low sun values, and they come by much faster when the sun is limited to 1/3.
• Hint: you might want to start your garden an egypt-minute later than the time indicated on the figure, just to be sure.

• The ranges are defined based on the output as follows:

-	Low	≤ 20
~	Average	> 20, < 80
+	High	≥ 80

REMARKS

• using VT THISTLE NEW --> change has to be done on the THISTLE NEW LUA page
  • REMEMBER: gardenwindows need be cascading (plant a crop always visible)used for loads of gardens

• using VT THISTLE CUSTOM --> change has to be done on the THISTLE CUSTOM LUA page
  • REMEMBER: gardenwindows need to be put side by side (grid)

• using VT THISTLE NEW MIX --> change has to be done on the THISTLE NEW MIX LUA page
  • • REMEMBER: cascade but also used with different gardens up- & not upgraded

• DAYTIME= 8.10 am - 15.40 pm (3.40pm)

• NIGHT TIME= 15.50 pm - 8 am ???

• with open canopy = night recipe usable 6 pm - 6 am

• Best for A-C+N-T~:13/12 (*) : means: recipe with '13' is used for daytime growing, recipe with '12' is used for nighttime growing?????

• Best for A+B+C~N+:1000/18 (D): means: ???
