Jay's Thistles

• 1. find out the current voids (/info twistedthistle)

• 2. open Talescript, VT, config_thistle (or open your VT map, config_thistle)

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

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

desired (what my worms need comes here - ex A+N-P~T~ 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) every list ends with thistle, check if mine is there too

• 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.

• 8. Open talescripts, VT, luascript, thistle_custom (or thistle_new or thistle_new mix), and notepad opens

• • 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), 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 set/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

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

• 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+C+F-P~: 1000/16 (D): means: that there is no night recipe only a day recipe with 18 actions

• Best for B+C~N-T-: 1000/100 (-): means: this thistle can't be made now

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 lots 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

• • I still have questions :) how do I get more thistleseeds

• 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.
