Oh, my bb code on that last post is broken, but, it's also on the first post anyway, get it from there.
I think the balance is okayish maybe even a bit on the hard side which is okay, don't think a hardcore version will be needed, I've played for a while and haven't encountered many mistakes or so other than the seed market value. The plant saver mode made it somewhat easy if you ask me, even if it's sometimes buggy and plants die for no reason, same goes for Pests, but it's a lot better than blight. Was playing on a 10 day growing tundra map, so it was hard alright. I think even in zones where you can grow all year it becomes a bit of a problem at higher game difficulties, which is the purpose of the mod.
I'll work on the compatibility patch for that, same as usual, won't test it so you have to let me know if it's working properly. Taking a look at the files and so, I'll make it so that only raw coffee beans can be used to extract seeds, that's how it should work in real life. You should probably but the hotcoffee mode after vg and before all the seed mods. It'll be ready in like 20mins or so.
BTW, I'm guessing you won't need to plant or extract seeds from the Vegetable Garden coffee beans, so it will replace the extraction bill for that.
