Possible to reduce fruit tree scale. the fruit ends up being larger than the ag tower planting it.

also, seems the spoilage timer is rather rapid.

How much should it be reduced to?
How fast is appropriate?

well, if it were me, i would scale the max size as that of a mature tree on Nauvis, unless you have a tree based on a different planets tree, then whatever that is. the start size seems ok, so it could be way easier if you have to add all the different size sprites in place, idk how that works, i do 3d stuff. that way the agri area isnt so busy, feels like a fruit grenade went off in my helmet. i end up having to play a wall segment in the adjacent squares to the agri tower to see it

i would stick to vanilla or slightly less for grow rate, maybe bump up the spoilage timer.

If the tree is too small, you can't see it clearly.

i hope my suggestions are useful to you

ya, thats why i would start with your already established tree size when its planted and just remove a few stages til it arrives at the size of a vanilla tree size, in all honesty, at least the ones ive seen, apple trees arnt terribly giant.

I might reduce it by 4 times

example of what im seeing

Look at my picture, it's about the same size as a vanilla tree actually.

is that a cherry tree?
the apply and apricot are crazy bigger than that

also, scale wise, cherry trees dont get that big and cherrys def dont get that big, you could take out a small group of people with one of those. threat rating = to a nokia phone

lol

It's Chilean JJJJJJJJJJJJ-grade cherries.

other than scale, wich is crazy town, you might consider doing like vanilla and introducing seeds, make them a byproduct of .... something. tho you can plant a tree with an apple, you should be able to plant multiple trees with an apples worth.

that's possible

idea for scale would be the yumako tree or jellystem since their fruit bearers. maybe consider on planting the tree, no fruit. example of another mod i use is the saplings to the left side of the screen.

the right most yumako being 100% grown

which mod

id say the scale for the apple and cherry of around the 40% is good for max sized

alternatively you could ramp up the scale about 50x and create a research called Mecha Peach Machina

I need think

I shrunk them by 60%

will have to give it a shot after the research is split.
