[PTZ_00S5] Survival Odyssey: The Island's Biosphere

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

A standalone mod that introduces various species of flora and fauna to the island. Nature's design is not meant to be understood, only accepted.

𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞

This standalone mod uses remapping features. It will prove to be conflicting with other mods of the same nature.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭

Personal Proposal: The mod is exclusively dedicated to The Island map. It is predictable that other maps will not be able to support the mod due to the current remapping behavior.

Adds consumables!

In-game Use: Can be planted in crop plots, generating the respective fruits and seeds while showcasing different static models of trees.
Growth Time: Fruit trees require a substantial amount of time and fertilizer to grow, and seeds are rarely generated in crop plots.
