Seeds don't spoil into rot tweak

[RyanandLink]

HELLO

I am here to ask if anyone would be interested in putting their precious time into developing a simple mod that makes seeds NOT spoil into rot- rather, it just disappears into nothingness. I'd like it because in late game theres just so much rot everywhere in the world, like, a stack of 8 rot every step you take (okay maybe not that much but it comes close!) and at that point in the game I always already have like 9 stacks of rot in a chest SO yeaaaaa

So if anyone knows how- and is willing to do do this, it would be greatly appreciated B]

I'm new to modding, but this is the simplest way (kinda hackish too) I could think of:

1. Create a new folder inside your mods folder, something like this:
   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\mods\Seeds do not rot"
2. Inside this folder, create two files, "modinfo.lua" and modmain.lua.
3. Inside modinfo.lua, place this:

   name = "Seed do not turn into rot"
   description = "They just disappear"
   author = "me"
   version = "1.0"
   forumthread = ""
   dont_starve_compatible = true
   reign_of_giants_compatible = true
   shipwrecked_compatible = true
   api_version = 6

   And inside modmain.lua, place this:

   local function noperish(inst)
   	inst.components.perishable.onperishreplacement = "raindrop"
   end
   
   AddPrefabPostInit("seeds", noperish)

    

That's it, you should be able to start your game and activate the mod.

The onperishplacement will swap your seeds with a raindrop. Raindrops make a small water splash animation and them get deleted.

As this is a hackish way to do it, the seeds that are on your inventory are also going to disappear.

NEVERMIND I'm smart and thought this would need more in-depth modding skills, but it's literally changing one line in seeds.lua.

 

If someone else would like this for themselves, all you gotta do is 

Spoiler

Change

	inst.components.perishable.onperishreplacement = "spoiled_food"

into

	inst.components.perishable.onperishreplacement = ""

and boom world is unlittered! (only works with seeds that still have to spoil, rot that is already lying around in your world won't disappear with this)
