I have a quick question about the crystal synthesizers as they seem to deteriorate over time is there a way to fix that or is that supposed to be that way . Have a hard tie finding any information on that.

i hope i included everything i need for you guys to help me.
this is a sorta steping stone for me if i can resolve basic errors like these i can make more complex mods.

Hi this is my first post here im quite a fan of this game.
Im new to moding for this game i did some mods for other games before.
I have a problem i cant seem to resolve everytime i start the mod i made i get this error.

I tried to work around that problem by checking how other mods implement things so i figured out i probably need to move the </Plants> tag to the very end of the code, like so.
