This mod +implements mechanics of plant hydration and what happens when you +over-water or not water your plants properly: Plants may wither or +soak, and if they wither/soak too much, the plant will get damaged. + +You can see that plants are under stress visually. When a plant +withers, there will be particles that are steam/smoke-like floating +upwards from the plant. When a plant is over-watered, water bubbles +can be seen at the plant base. These are implemented as particles. + +In the default difficulty settings, plants don't accrue enough damage +to kill the plant. But at difficult settings, withering will end up +resulting in plant death, or the loss of crop entirely. At default +settings, plants will yield significantly less harvest if not taken +care of! So if you do decide to not water your plants, make sure you +don't let them sit around for days and harvest them as soon as they +are ripe to limit the effects. + +Environment factors can influence hydration: nearby water, night time +moisture. And of course, the watering can. The watering can holds +20 watering charges, and it takes 3-4 charges to water a plant from +completely dry to maximum wetness. Some plants will want more water, +some will do better with less, so make sure you use a hydrometer to +measure plant humidity. Recipes for the watering can and hydrometer +are listed below. 1.
