Wormwood Skill Tree Overhaul - Moon Sprout

"Moon Sprout" is a comprehensive skill overhaul mod for Wormwood in DST. It has enhanced the personal quality of life, single-player combat efficiency and team assistance capabilities of Wormwood. By freely combining multiple skill lines, you can create the most suitable gameplay route for yourself.

The initial skill includes:

Lunar affinity: Gain dynamic bonuses based on moon phases, with +10% Lunar affinity during full moon.

Lune Tree Blossom System:

• Craftable Lune Blossom serves as the foundation for exclusive items and advanced skills.
  
• Examine blossoms anytime to check current BP. During bloom state, freshness mirrors BP.
  
• Consuming blossoms activates "Lunar Charge", enabling advanced skill usage at BP cost.
  
• Infused Lune Tree Blossoms crafted with Pure Brilliance trigger "Pure Lunar Charge" for higher-tier abilities.

Built-in Bloom Point display wheel in this mod, no need to install additional display mods.(Code from Value Monster: Wormwood. Appreciation for his sharing!)

BP becomes the key resource for advanced skills, making bloom maintenance essential.

Seed Sleuth, Quick Picker, Extra Farm Range: Modified to be built-in skills for Wormwood and does not require extra skill points.

Super Growth Formula: Nerfed effectiveness: Each use replenishes only half the bloom value of the previous use. Resets at dawn. (optional in config)

Plant Friend Protector:

• Digging up planted seeds or growing crops returns their corresponding seeds.
  
• Digging up withered saplings, grass tufts and other plants won't destroy them.
  
• Plant digging incurs 5 sanity penalty (can disable penalty in config).

Root Catalytic Barrel:

• 25-slot food storage container with upgradeable preservation capabilities.
  
• Enables directed seed mutation using Lune Tree Blossoms as energy source. Arrange seeds and blossoms in specific patterns to convert excess seeds into desired varieties.

Q: I can't figure out the patterns! These puzzles are too hard...
A: Try filling the barrel with the same vegetable in every slot! It'll show you how it's done!

More farming skills will blossom in future updates!

Plant crafting no longer requires skill points. Instead, an expanded companion summoning system emerges:

New Mechanics:

• All companions now have 10% Lunar affinity.
  
• Pocket companions: Store small creatures in inventory - no more leaving slow pets behind.
  
• Feed companions: Vegetarian food extends lifespan and heals them; Infused Blossoms grant planar affinity.
  
• "Beep-Boop Dictionary":A beginner's guide to Moon Island language. Learn to command your pets—tell them when to attack and when to back off.
  
• "Lunar Descendant's Tome":Can be used to cast advanced skills for some companions.

New Abilities & Companions:

• Carrat: Can perform to promote crop growth.
  
• Saladmander: Grows to maturity in two days and learns to spit fire.
  
• Grass Gator: 9-slot mobile storage.
  
• Piko: Collect items.
  
• Venus Flytrap: Its continuous eating can increase damage and HP.
  
• Elder Mandrake: Companions' quartermaster.

Mushroom Culturist: Merged mushroom growth/yield skills reduce specialization points.

Mushroom Buffs:
Consuming colored mushrooms grants temporary buffs (non-stackable). Each use has a chance to unlock corresponding hat blueprints.

• Red: +10% damage.
  
• Blue: +15% damage reduction.
  
• Green: +20% Lunar affinity.
  
• Shroomcake: Half-strength versions of all buffs.
  
• Stuffed Night Cap: One consumption causes all creatures to be forced to sleep with you. After waking up, their attack power drops significantly for a period of time. Meanwhile, Wormwood enters a drowsy state and gains a powerful hypnotic aura.

Mushroom Bomb: Throwable bombs dealing AoE damage. When fully spoiled, becomes Toxic Spore Bomb applying poison.

Mushroom Hats:

• Damage Absorption: 50% damage reduction
  
• Tri-Hats: Provide corresponding buffs. When bloom-activated, consume BP for team aura.
  
• Moon Cap: Attacks stack random buffs. Infused state doubles effectiveness.

Bee Kind:

• Gaining combat assistance from nearby bees.
  
• Attacking any bee will break the friendship. Eating honey restores friendship with bees.
  
• Release "Honey Tactics" through Lune Blossom: 100 BP for attack slow effects, 60s duration.

Poison Birch:

• When planting acorns, in 60s, Wormwood has chance to summon Birchnut Roots when attacking, and automatically spawns Birchnut Drakes when attacked.
  
• Once per day, when fighting near the birchnut tree, there is a chance to receive assistance from the poisonous birchnut tree.
  
• Release "Birchwood Alliance" through Lune Blossom: 300 BP for Birchnut Roots and Drakes in combat, plus Poison Birchnut summon.

Ivy Staff:

• Basic: Roots enemies in place.
  
• Throw: Creates bramble walls to trap foes.
  
• Lunar Charge throw: Enhances control based on Bramble skills.
  
• Pure Lunar Charge throw: Summons Brightshade for combat support.

While blooming, healing foods now replenish BP(Blooming Point). Finally, Pierogi becomes a viable food choice!
Overheat Protection has modified to be built-in skills for Wormwood.

Photosynthesis:

• Gains energy from light to gradually restore health.
  
• When health is full, gradually restores Blooming Points.
  
• Doubles photosynthesis efficiency when no headgear is worn.
  
• Can also photosynthesize at dusk, but at 50% efficiency.

Osmotic Regulation:

• Wormwood can absorb moisture from its surface to further enhance photosynthesis efficiency.

Energy Allocation:
Energy gained from photosynthesis can be allocated based on the following priority:

• If BP is below 1800, all energy is used to restore BP.
  
• If BP is between 1800 and 3600, at least half of the energy is allocated to restoring BP.
  
• Powers various perishable items in the inventory, restoring their freshness per second.
  
• Sustains summoned followers, extending their lifespan and Planar alignment.
  
• Remaining allocatable energy is split between producing Butter and further restoring BP.

Lunar Tree Therapy:

• Two healing skills costing 300/1200 BP for you and allies.
  
• The Mothling you adopted has an energy supply system similar to yours. Obtains lunar energy under the moonlight and heals nearby injured players as well as helps you with energy supply tasks.

Moonlight Descent:

• Opal Staff auroras grant +10% Lunar affinity to nearby allies.
  
• During bloom: In Lunar Charge, 300 BP creates freezing aurora (120s).
  
• With Infused Blossom: In Pure Lunar Charge, 1800 BP summons Enlightenment Field, calling Gestalts and Grazers to purge shadow threats (240s).

As a first-time modder with moderate playtime, I don't claim deep expertise in DST's mechanics. All suggestions and ideas are welcome!

The mod includes extensive configuration options to tailor Wormwood to your preferences. Please report any bugs with crash logs - I'll prioritize fixes. Thank you for your support!
