User:Jaylena/Jaylenaeybarre's thistle guide

Thistleguide in 10 steps:

• 1. find out the current voids (/info twisted thistle - unfortunately it is only Cegaiel & Sun-Aj doing the voids, so check if info is current)

• 2. open Talescript, trunk, VT, config_thistle OR open your VT map, config_thistle (is where you have installed VT, in my case it is on the C:/veggietales (I don't use talescript) -so find out where you have installed your copy of VT/talescript)

• 3. set all the voids to 0 (voids that weekly changes)vb; rule_nit-asc = 1 becomes: rule_nit_asc= 0 (standard they all stand at '1')

• 4. under 'desired "label:Mine" ' , I write: desired "label:JaylenaeYbarre" (offcourse, here comes your name)

desired (what my worms need comes here - ex A+N-P~T~ = you find this when clicking on your silkwormfarm) you may delete all others, it is not needed to keep them so you write 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 !!

• 5. save the notepad

• 6. open VT , run Thistle mode (get about 40 steps here for the macro - this list will be saved in 'history' file --> look at where you have installed your copy of VT or talescript --> see point 2)

• 7: Open 'history' in VeggieTales folder,Scroll 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.

Possible outcomes you can have:

• 8. Depending on what you use either: Open VT, luascript, thistle_custom (or thistle_new or thistle_new mix) OR Open talescripts, trunk, VT, luascript, thistle_custom (or thistle_new or thistle_new mix),

and notepad opens (again this is not the actual program, but where you have installed VT/talescript)

OR do the easiest: click on the little 'e' on the left of any of the above mentioned names, on the VT:  

• • a) Change 'local expected_gardens' to = your thistle garden number (amount of gardens you want to run)
  • b) Paste in recipe after: "instructions = {"
  • c) Change 'local last_sun' to = 33 for day with closed canopy, 99 for day with open canopy, 0 for night (canopy does not matter= there is no sun at night :))

• 9. save notepad

• 10. pin your gardens, (can use VT windows arranger or manager), check if you have seeds, waterjugs in inventory, check if the time is correct, start VT and use the thistle_custom lua or thistle_new lua or thistle_new mix lua

!!in inventory: seeds and jugs, careful: all gardens SAME (unless using new mix lua)

• • • More things to consider

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

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

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

• don't put more then 1000 thistles in the silkworm farm

• How do I get more thistleseeds? : everytime you succeed to grow thistles, you get 5 thistleseeds in your inventory (still have to check this ???)

• DAYTIME= 8.25 am - 15.30 pm (3.50pm)

• NIGHT TIME= 15.50 pm - 8 am

REMARKS

• 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) - this is the best if you only do a few gardens at once

• 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 lots of gardens - use the windows arranger or manager to do the cascade

• 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
