     Having read a few posts complaining that the standard underground crops make the game "too easy," I decided to post this small list of underground plants which can be used as a replacement for the standard ones. I've simply lifted these out of my Mesozoic Dwarves mod, where they are included to increase the challenge of farming underground and to encourage the player to work in the hostile outdoors. They're lower yielding, lower value, have limited growing seasons, and generally require more processing.

     To use them as a replacement in the standard game, paste them into the matgloss_plant file and delete the entries for the standard crops that you want to remove (such as Plump Helmet, Cave Wheat, Sweet Pod, etc). NOTE: If you remove Quarry Bush, you'll get crashes if you don't replace it with another [LEAVES] producing plant; I've included an example aboveground replacement here that will prevent the problem.

If you remove Quarry Bush, you'll get crashes if you don't replace it with another [LEAVES] producing plant;

How come?

Also, hell of a lot of plant-related things in this forum today. It's either an odd coincidence or everyone's been at the same leafy muse

[Raphite1]

    I have no idea why there must be a [LEAVES] plant; it took me hours to figure out that it was the cause of my crashes. Apparently a [LEAVES] plant that occurs either above or below ground will prevent the crashes, but having only a [LEAVES] plant that is limited to biomes of a specific alignment does NOT prevent the crashes.

     I posted these few plants because of all the recent discussion about plants on the forums, so maybe the phenomenon of so many plant posts is the result of a feedback loop. =)

there's a few worldgen issues with the leaves, I think that's what causes some crashes, sine underlying programming runs off it.
