Can't increase mood yet. Also big flowers would be trees and you will ALWAYS cut/gathere them - can't do a thing with this too. So no way to make them into trees which just gives you nectar and still stands alive after that. But you can make a bush with unique tile (it is not that hard to change 1 tile for flowers into something more flowerlike and then mod out other flowers using this tile). You can make that gathered bush be called BIG FLOWER and be uneatable and uncookable but be able to brew good bewerage. So no problem here. As for flower based animals - that's BODY and BP magic... need Hugo here to help:)

Lol Tierre,

For the ideas

Small Flowers "Grass type" --- this way you can have unharvestable flowers grow, altho grazers will eat it. But I'm on a goat farm and heh those little critters will eat practially anything, or destroy it.

Big Flowers "Shrubs" --- If you leave SEED out then these bigger flowers must be picked like bloated tubers.

Giant Flowers "Trees" --- Tulip stem logs? lol wut? :P

As for the flower creatures, I had Sanure (as modding creatures at that time baffled him) make a "Mandrake" beast (acually he wanted to make it)
The body is somewhat complex but we managed to make a IMMOBILE and bloodthirsty plant.
(I would post the raws but they are not my creation, unless you ask Sansure)

I think the hardest part was getting the tissues and the bloody colors for the vines, leaves, fruit, flowers, bark, and roots done right. Error after error that was for sure.
