At the previous rate, it would take almost 27 days for half of the
short grass to convert to regular dirt with grass. And therefore
54 days in total to reach 75% conversion, 81 days for 87.5%, etc.
At the new rate, it should take about 4.5 hours for half of the
short grass to convert back to dirt wit grass.
At the previous rate, it would take almost 2 days and 15 hours of
playing time for half of the reedmace to grow. (and therefore 5 days
and 6 hours for 75% to grow, etc.)
The new rate should require 2.25 hours of playing time for half of
the reedmace to grow.
As there is only one leaf per fern, this makes it possible and convenient
to farm ferns (which was impossible, and even replanting all chopped-down
fern plants was extremely laborious due to the rarity of saplings).
Although on average slightly more than one sapling is produced per plant,
replanting and reharvesting the leaves is still the quickest way to
obtain more saplings.
This happens when the ABM runs after the block has been unloaded
for much longer than the ABM interval: in that case, the initial
ABM running chance for a node in the block may become up to 100%.
Because minetest.after() is not bound to a position, and because it is not
saved, it may trigger after the node to which it applies was unloaded, or
not at all (if the session ends). If that happens, The 'young' flag
will not be cleared, and will have become persistent (i.e. without a timer
which will eventually clear it).
This patch removes the 'young' flag, and replaces it with a timestamp, removing
the need for a timer. Any lingering 'young' flags that have become persistent
are automatically removed over time (i.e.: they are simply ignored...)
This prevents unpopulated map areas being left over after a restart.
Adds a fairly large shutdown penalty to the engine only if the mapgen is
actively generating at the time of shutdown. If the mapgen is more or less
idle, no extra time is added.
Fixes a bunch of issues with the sickle:
-sickle didnt care of protection
-sickle removed filled chests (also locked ones)
-when applying to a dirt node thats not "under" a player, the grass got added to the wrong position
-everything that was above a dirt_with_grass node got removed
Now I am proud to announce, that all these issues got resolved.
