Planting Tools
Switch: F1 → 0 - Sub-mods → Planting Tools (on by default).
Plant a whole field with one click of the cultivator, without the game slowing down. Planting Tools plants crops,
saplings, berry bushes and mushrooms (also the ones Plant Everything adds) in a grid of up to thousands at once: a
51 x 54 grid of carrots is planted in about a second while the game keeps running smoothly, and you can click the next
grid straight away. It replaces Plant Easily: Plant Easily's settings are copied once, and Planting Tools stays off
while Plant Easily is installed.
Features
- Grid planting: rows x columns from the plant you aim at. Ctrl + arrow keys or Ctrl + mouse wheel set
the size (either Ctrl), F8 turns the grid on or off.
- Fast and light: a click pays for the whole grid at once (seeds, stamina, cultivator wear) and the plants are
created a few milliseconds' worth per frame. The preview is drawn straight to the graphics card, so even a 50 x 50
grid costs next to nothing to show. No effect or sound per plant: one swing per click, as in the game.
- Shows what it plants: the preview glows green where a plant goes, yellow where your seeds run out, red where it
cannot grow (no cultivated ground, wrong biome, no room, a roof above, too hot or too cold, a ward), grey while it is
being planted; a line below the crosshair counts them ("51 x 54: 2,700 to plant, 40 not cultivated").
- Lines up with your fields (F10): aim next to plants of the same kind and the grid continues their rows,
starting on the free spot next to them and growing away from them, also while they are still being planted.
- Fill field (F7): every free spot of the cultivated patch under your aim, in one click.
- Seeds from your bag, then nearby chests (20 m): only built chests, not someone else's private ones, not chests
someone has open; Local Craft From Storage Prime's excluded chests and marker slots are left alone. The preview
counts the chests' seeds too.
- Short of seeds: it plants as many as your seeds pay for, nearest first ("All or nothing" plants nothing then).
- Harvest around: hold Shift while picking a crop, berry bush, mushroom or beehive and everything around it
is picked too (same kind only, or everything; 3 m). With Farm Performance, all of it goes straight into your
inventory with one message per item.
- Auto replant: every crop you pick is planted again on its spot (on by default), with seeds from your bag, then
nearby chests: the crop you picked or the one chosen in the cultivator. Hold Ctrl while picking to clear a field
without replanting (with auto replant off it is the other way round: hold Ctrl to replant). Aiming at a crop shows
the keys.
- The game's own rules, and other mods' changes to them (such as Plant Anything's growth space and sunlight
settings): green means it grows.
- Spacing as in Plant Easily: per plant from the room it needs to grow, with "Tighter spacing", extra spacing for crops
and saplings, and a spacing per bush kind.
Notes
- Client-side: each player plants with their own settings.
- Vines are planted one at a time against a wall, as in the game.
- With "Use cultivator durability" on, a big grid wears the cultivator as much as planting every plant by hand would
(an Indestructible cultivator from Epic Loot is not worn).

Added to the space between crops; below 0 packs them closer (they may then not grow). (range -1 to 5) |

| Setting |

Nothing is planted where the plant would not grow (no cultivated ground, wrong biome, no room, a roof above, too hot or cold); the grid shows those spots red. Off: such spots are planted too. |

| Random rotation |

Each plant of a grid is turned a random way, so a field looks less even. |
| Scatter (m) |

When the seeds you carry run out, the grid (and replanting) takes them from chests near you. |
| Chest range (m) |
