PlantCare

I've been using PlantCare for a while now. I looked at Greenthumb, but it provides less information and doesn't provide tracking across logins.

There are 2 things I'd like to see added to PlantCare to polish the addon.
-Eliminate the watering/feeding spam similar to Greenthumb.
-Don't treat ore plants differently from the rest in the PlantCare:calcCareCount funcion. Currently it doesn't provide enough water/soil to keep the plant healthy, and my ore plants steadily degrade while my other plants stay generally above 90% with the same care schedule. I went into the LUA and manually changed the true branch of the "if ( best == 90 )" statement to "best + 10" and now my ore plants are completely on par with my other plants.

Oh, and 5/5 for saving my carpal tunnels!

I love your AddOn. I especially love the info panel that tells/predicts what your alts planting levels are at. I made a small change to this screen which other users might find useful.

On line 158 of the lua, I added a 3rd argument to how the item name is displayed:
buttonItemName:SetText(string.format("[%d] %s (%d%%)",item.id.ID , item.id.SeedName, (100*item.id.GrowRate)))

This makes it so that it shows the current growth rate on all your alts. It makes it easier to see the overall progress on your characters. Furthermore, this could be improved to add more specifics, such as estimate harvest time, current water/fertilizer rates, etc. without needing to click on each seed to see the details.

Ie. (progress, water, fertilizer, harvest time)
[1] Some Seed (45%, W80%, F80%, 9:00 28/09/09)

I didn't realized item.id.GrowRate only refers to the last input of the grow rate and it wasn't a calculated value based on time that has past. Do you think this calculation can be made?

Ok, so I worked on this a bit, if anyone wants to have it themselves...

It makes the info panel show names as:
[Furniture slot] Seed Name (Current Growth, Current Fertilizer, Current Water)
ie. [1] Some Seed (45%, 80%, 80%)

On the PlantCare.lua, Line 154-ish (after the else):
local buttonItemName = getglobal(button:GetName() .. "Item_ItemName")

local currentTopdress = (os.time() - item.id.LastCareTime)/3600
currentTopdress = currentTopdress*item.id.DecTopdress
currentTopdress = item.id.TopdressPoint - currentTopdress

local currentWater = (os.time() - item.id.LastCareTime)/3600
currentWater = currentWater*item.id.DecWater
currentWater = item.id.WaterPoint - currentWater

local currentGrow = (item.id.GrowRate + ((os.time() - item.id.LastCareTime) * ((1 - item.id.GrowRate) / (item.id.HarvestTime - item.id.LastCareTime)))) * 100

buttonFolder:Hide();
buttonItem:Show()
buttonItemName:SetText(string.format("[%d] %s (%d%%, %d%%, %d%%)", item.id.ID, item.id.SeedName, currentGrow, currentTopdress, currentWater))

Wie ich gesehen habe, habt Ihr meine Datenflut gut genutzt - Hut ab - echt geil! Paar sachen sollte man aber noch ändern bzw hinzufügen - is ja noch genug platz :)
In der Auflistungsseite sowas wie Wieveiele Duedrops habe ich - wieviele (omg hab den Namen vergessen ... ) Spezial pflanzen also die für lvl 40 habe ich.

usw ... Funkt mich einfach nochmal an :)

btw. auto Bewässerung soll irgendwann nächsten Monat (ende) kommen ... wenn die Quelle zuverlässig ist ..... das weis man ja leider nie genau

Auto-planting isn't working.
