Faster Mushrooms

Shorten mushroom growth waits and give wild mushrooms more chances to return near your base.

Settings

Open Settings > Mod Options > Faster Mushrooms.

| Setting | Default | Choices |
|---|---|---|
| Mushroom growth speed | 4x | Preset speeds from 1x to 100x |
| Wild mushroom respawn | 1 min | Off, 15 s, 30 s, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, 10 min, 30 min |

Growth speed shortens applicable mushroom spread and growth-stage timers. Wild respawn is a separate setting: at each interval, the game gets another chance to spawn mushrooms in areas within 48 tiles of players.

Changes apply during play and save automatically. Use 1x growth and Off respawn for normal behavior going forward; already-shortened countdowns are not rewound.

What to expect

Respawn intervals are checks, not guaranteed spawns. The game still requires suitable ground and biome, available space, and distance from players. It does not spawn mushrooms within six tiles of a player. Areas already containing many mushrooms get fewer new ones.

Other crops, drops and harvesting rules stay the same. Growth stages that require watered ground still require it.

Requirements and limits

Requires CoreLib and Mod Options. Install on the host/server and all clients, then restart Core Keeper. The host/server's settings control growth and respawn.

Mushrooms are identified by their game object names; differently named custom plants may not be affected. While a mushroom respawn request runs, other environment-spawn entries are briefly suppressed. A normal respawn occurring at the same time can skip its non-mushroom objects once.
