Eco Footprint Gardening Fix (Patreon)

Green Eco Footprints mean happier plants. Industrial Eco Footprints mean sadder plants. Right?

...Right?

Well, no. Turns out that for some reason the Green Eco Footprint drops plant growth rates to 62% (!) of their normal speed, and the Industrial Eco Footprint raises growth rates to 125% their normal speed.

This mod reverses these so they work properly. Tested by setting the number really high- and my plants grew instantly while I planted them instead.

While I was in there I also made Green Eco Footprint slow the growth of Weeds and Infestation- it had no impact before. Industrial now also has additional infestation on top of its (maxis) 150% weed growth.

One could also argue that a Green footprint would in fact benefit weeds and bugs. The HARDMODE file will, on top of fixing the bug, also make it so Industrial footprint has fewer weeds and bugs, while the Green footprint has more weeds and bugs. This is a fun tradeoff. I love tradeoffs. With this version Green footprint boosts plant growth but also means you need to do a little more upkeep. It also gives you an actual reason to use an Industrial footprint for a garden- Sure the plants grow slower but you don't have to take care of them as hard.
