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 (unless using new mix lua)

Need to check:

Growing Thistles with Veggietales

Step 1 - 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: Jaylenaeybarre"

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) (depends, see below)

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,

};

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

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

Step 8 - make sure you have water and thistle seeds

Start VT new , VT custom or VT new mix 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 nighttime growing, recipe with '12' is used for daytime growing?????

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

• It takes 6m 30s (Real Time) to do a run on the garden.

• If you need to set/change one of your canopies quickly, just Plant a Crop, click Sun button, then Abort
