A client-side batch-planting tool. Plants grass, saplings, bushes and trees in grid

How to use

[olist] [*]Hold any plantable item (grass tuft, sapling, berry bush, etc.). A grid preview appears at your cursor — green = plantable, red = blocked. The current size (e.g. 3x4) is shown right below the preview. [*]Ctrl + Mouse Wheel — change the number of rows (Y). [*]Alt + Mouse Wheel — change the number of columns (X). [*]Right-click — plant the entire field at once. [/olist]

Smart planting

  • Automatically uses matching plants from your hands, inventory and backpack.
  • snake style pathing, then retries and fills any gaps (such as the tile you happened to be standing on).
  • While planting, the grid locks in place and shows live progress: the current tile is highlighted and finished tiles clear out.
  • Stops when the field is done — or when you run out of stuff to plant.
  • Want out? Just press a movement key — the batch cancels instantly.

Indicator light & settings

  • A small wooden tab appears beside the crafting button while you hold a plantable. Its light shows the status: yellow (ready), fast yellow (resizing the grid), green (planting), solid green (done), red (can't plant here). fast red (interrupted, really cant, stop asking).
  • Click the tab to open the settings window:
  • [list]
  • Grid Snapping — on / off (lock plants to a fixed world grid).
  • Spacing — 1 to 5 (gap between plants).

[*]Your settings are saved and restored between sessions. [*]Grid size is remembered as well — and after (5,10,20,NEVER) minutes without planting it quietly resets to 1x1, so picking up a plant never flashes a huge preview in your face. [/list]

Notes

  • Compatible with Geometric Placement — it sync with GP setting and uses the same world grid (square grid only, for now)
  • Client-side only
  • Works on plantable plants, trees, twigs and bushes. Structures and other deployables are intentionally ignored.

Why this exists

Draw upon To Do Chores and ActionQueue RB3+, blended with my own UI design cuz im sick of press so many buttons and those menu overlap on eachother i dont know how to close them
