Strains

A strain sets its seed, bud, bag and joint items, how fast it grows and dries out, how much it yields, the XP it pays and which model it shows at each growth stage. Strains are edited in /weedadmin under Config > Strains, and every change applies the moment it saves, new strains included.

Default strainsCopy Anchor Link

Timers are in minutes. Rain is the percent of water added each plant update while it rains. Yield is buds per 10% of health.

Every default strain has an XP multiplier of 1. Each uses the items ls_<key>_seed, ls_<key>_bud, ls_<key>_bag and ls_<key>_joint, with its seed image from install/images/ as both its icon and its image.

The Strains section lists them in order, each with its level. Drag a strain to reorder it: workers and menus go down the list in this order. A section holds up to 50 strains.

Strain settingsCopy Anchor Link

A strain opens on a page of its own. The default column is what a new strain starts with.

Image paths can be any nui:// path or URL, for example nui://lation_weed/install/images/ls_og_kush_seed.png.

Growth and yieldCopy Anchor Link

Each plant updates once per growth cycle, every 45 seconds by default (see growth). An update works out the plant's growth, water, fertilizer and health from the time since its last one, with the settings as they are now, so an edit applies from each plant's next update and plants keep their progress.

Growth. The soil's and the fertilizer's growth bonuses add together, and a plant grows in timers.growth / (1 + (soil bonus + fertilizer bonus) / 100) minutes. OG Kush in enhanced soil (+10) with enhanced fertilizer (+15) grows in 30 / 1.25 = 24 minutes. A plant takes the default fertilizer (Growth > New plants > Default fertilizer) when its seed goes in, and whichever fertilizer is applied after that. When its fertilizer runs out, it falls back to the first fertilizer in the list, so a fertilizer's bonus only lasts while there is fertilizer left.

Water and fertilizer. Both drain at a steady rate set by the strain's timers. A new plant starts at 20% of each, so a freshly planted OG Kush runs dry in 4 minutes if nobody waters it.

Health. While water or fertilizer is at 0%, health drains over timers.health minutes. It never recovers on its own. At 0% the death timer starts (30 minutes by default), and the plant is destroyed when it ends unless someone uses a plant revive.

Stages. The six models change at even steps of growth: stage 3 at 0%, 4 at 16.7%, 5 at 33.3%, 6 at 50%, 7 at 66.7% and 8 at 83.3%. At 100% the plant stops using water and fertilizer and waits for harvest.

Yield. At harvest:

local tiers = math.max(1, math.floor(health / 10))
local buds = math.floor(yield_per_10_health * tiers
    * (1 + soilYieldBonus / 100)
    * (1 + fertilizerYieldBonus / 100))

if health >= 100 then
    buds = buds + math.floor(buds * perfect_bonus_multiplier / 100)
end

buds = math.max(1, buds)

The yield bonuses come from the plant's soil and its fertilizer at harvest. Some examples:

XP. Each Experience reward is multiplied by the strain's XP multiplier and rounded. With the defaults, harvesting an OG Kush of 11 buds pays 50 + 11 x 5 = 105 XP; at a multiplier of 1.5 it pays 158.

Stage modelsCopy Anchor Link

Stages 1 and 2 (the empty pot and the pot with soil) are shared by every strain and set under Setup > Pot models. Each strain needs a model for stages 3 to 8.

lation weed streams ten color sets of plant models, seven models each:

shoe_shuffler_prop_weed_01_small_<color>_01a
shoe_shuffler_prop_weed_01_small_<color>_01b
shoe_shuffler_prop_weed_01_small_<color>_01c
shoe_shuffler_prop_weed_med_<color>_01a
shoe_shuffler_prop_weed_med_<color>_01b
shoe_shuffler_prop_weed_lrg_<color>_01a
shoe_shuffler_prop_weed_lrg_<color>_01b

The colors are green, yellow, cyan, purple, sunkissed, haze, red, black, blackred and blackwhite. The default strains use the first six, which leaves red, black, blackred and blackwhite for new strains. They use the models in this order:

The pot models bzzz_growing_freepot_a and bzzz_growing_freepot_b are streamed too.

Add a strainCopy Anchor Link

The strain grows as soon as it saves; there is nothing to restart.

Edit or remove a strainCopy Anchor Link

Every field applies the moment it saves. A plant already growing keeps its progress and takes the new timers from its next update, and a new stage model shows as plants reach that stage.

A strain's key can't be changed once it is added. To change what players see, change its name.

To remove a strain, use the bin on its row or the Danger zone at the bottom of its page. When plants of it exist, tick the box to delete them too, or the strain stays. The last strain can't be removed.
