Guilds/Obelisk Builders/Thistle Guide

I will attempt to make a visual guide for multiple garden thistle growing. You'll need a couple of things you'll need prior to starting this process:

• Automato [1] (formerly Veggie Tales)
• A text editor like Notepad

Step 1

Number your Silkworm Farms, this is essential. It doesn't matter how you number them, just keep them in order so that you can remember the numbering:

Step 2

Gather Thistle Requirements. Each Silkworm Farm will have a random set of nutrient requirements assigned to it. Those requirements will not change unless the silk worms are fed that particular thistle. Only then will the farm get a new nutrient requirement. There are seven nutrients: Ascorbin (A), Biotin (B), Carotene (C), Folin (F), Niacin (N), Pyroxidine (P), and Thiamine(T). And three value levels: High (+), Average (~), and Low (-). The Silkworm Farm will present you with four of the seven available nutrients at various levels.

So the Silkworm Farms will present you with:



The Automato conversion for this set of nutrients is: A~C+F+P-

If possible, open the config_thistle.txt (located in the \Automato\games\ATITD folder) on another monitor. This file is the instructions for Automato to build nutrient recipies for later. This is a two part process; inputting the current thistle voids and inputting the thistle nutrient requirements for each Silkworm Farm. The top section of the config_thistle.txt file is where you input the current voids:



The second part of config_thistle.txt is where you will input your Silkworm nutrient requirements:



Looking at the requirements section, you'll notice a series of desired "label:OB #" and below each of those a desired thistle nutrient requirement. This is where the numbered Silkworm Farms comes in.
