Features

• Auto-harvest — fully grown castle plants are harvested automatically every 5 seconds and deposited into your Harvest chests.
• Growth acceleration — all plants within the weapon's radius grow faster as long as the Fertilizer chest is stocked, even without a weapon.
• Weapon-based radius — the tier of the weapon placed in the Fertilizer chest determines how large the harvest area is (11 tiers, from Bone to Shadow Matter).
• Multi-fertilizer support — Bone (1 credit) and Grave Dust (2 credits) are supported by default. Any item can be added via PrefabGUID in the config.
• Smart consumption — cheapest fertilizer items are always consumed first to preserve the more powerful ones.
• Weapon durability drain — the weapon loses durability proportional to the number of plants harvested (configurable per tier).
• Multiple Harvest chests — items are distributed across all Harvest chests in range, nearest chest first.
• Multi-territory support — each castle territory can have its own independent Fertilizer chest.
• Duplicate detection — if two Fertilizer chests are found in the same territory, the mod disables itself for that territory and logs a warning.
• Chat commands — .nb info shows live farm status; .nb reload (admin only) reloads the config without restarting the server.
• Fully configurable — every setting (chest keywords, consumption rate, growth multiplier, per-tier radius, per-tier durability loss) is editable in the BepInEx config file.
• Server-side only — clients do not need to install anything.

Installation (step by step)

> All of the following must be done on your dedicated server, not on a client machine.

Step 1 — Install BepInEx

Download BepInExPack_V_Rising from the link above. Extract the contents so your server folder looks like this:

VRisingDedicatedServer/
├── BepInEx/
│   ├── core/
│   ├── plugins/
│   └── ...
├── VRisingServer.exe
└── ...

Step 2 — Install VampireCommandFramework

Download VampireCommandFramework from the link above. Drop VampireCommandFramework.dll into:

VRisingDedicatedServer/BepInEx/plugins/

Step 3 — Install NightBloom

Drop NightBloom.dll into:

VRisingDedicatedServer/BepInEx/plugins/

Step 4 — Start the server

Start the server once. NightBloom will generate its configuration file at:

VRisingDedicatedServer/BepInEx/config/NightBloom.cfg

You can now edit that file to customize the mod (see Configuration File). To apply config changes without restarting the server, use the .nb reload command in-game (admin only).

First-Time Setup

Fertilizer Chest

Name any storage chest in your castle so that its name contains fertilizer or fert (not case-sensitive). Examples: Fertilizer, Fert, My Fertilizer Chest

Inside this chest, place:

| Item | Role | |------|------| | A weapon | Determines the harvest radius. Higher tier = larger area. | | Bone and/or Grave Dust | Fertilizer credits used to power the mod. |

> Only one Fertilizer chest is allowed per castle territory. If you place two in the same territory, the mod will disable itself for that territory and log a warning until you remove the duplicate.

Harvest Chest

Name any storage chest in your castle so that its name contains harvest (not case-sensitive). Examples: Harvest, Harvest Chest 1

Harvested plants are automatically deposited here. You can have as many Harvest chests as you want — they are filled starting with the one nearest to the harvested plant.

> Harvest chests must be within ChestLinkRadius meters of the Fertilizer chest (default: 45 m).

Weapon Tiers & Radius

The weapon you place in the Fertilizer chest determines the harvest radius. The mod always uses the highest-tier weapon it finds. If two weapons share the same tier, the one with more remaining durability is chosen.

| Tier | Weapon | Default Radius | |------|--------|---------------| | T01 | Bone | 5 m | | T02 | Reinforced Bone | 7 m | | T03 | Copper | 10 m | | T04 | Merciless Copper | 13 m | | T05 | Iron | 17 m | | T06 | Merciless Iron | 21 m | | T07 | Rare Ancestral | 25 m | | T08 | Dark Silver | 29 m | | T09 | Sanguine | 33 m | | T10 | Epic Ancestral | 37 m | | T11 | Shadow Matter | 42 m |

> If no weapon is in the Fertilizer chest, the mod still accelerates plant growth within the NoWeaponRadius (default: 5 m), but does not harvest.

How It Works

Every 5 seconds, for each valid Fertilizer chest the mod:
