Farm Services

[John Doom]

New WIP mod to make farms sell goods.

FEATURES:
- you can buy ingredients from selected containers;
- compatible with my mod Acquisition, making possible to buy farms (make sure Farm Services has a higher priority than Acquisition);
- compatible with my mod Crafting, which adds food items.

TODO:
- less purely alchemy ingredients;
- sell;
- ?

I like the idea for having them sell ingredients and such, anything that can make the awfully impractical vanilla alchemy system less impractical is a good thing, and giving those small farm houses some more purpose.

[John Doom]

Thanks for your reply. I've just updated the mod, now farms can sell modded items too.

Is this mod compatible with Harvestable Crops?

[John Doom]

Yes

Hi there,

where I am supposed to click to see this mod in action (you mentioned containers, but I can't find anything new in farms once I have installed this)?
I gave higher loading priority to this mod compared to Acquisition.

Thanks for your help!

Did you make any changes to the code copied from DaggerfallLoot.StockShopShelf() method? It occurs to me that if that method was refactored and split slightly you could simply call it rather than having the code copied into your mod? What do you think?

I think it was mostly to bypass its switch, because farms aren't considered shops by the game. That method was either private or couldn't be overriden, so I butchered it
I don't know about refactoring, do you mean reflections? As magicono I don't know this witchcraft yet

Ah sorry, it's a software engineering term that I assumed you'd be familiar with since you've been kicking out code for mods without needing much help. Refactoring just means re-structuring the code without changing any of its behaviour. (nothing to do with reflection which is code discovery at runtime)

So in this case if the stocking method is split then your mod could call the inner method unless you changed any of the copied code. This simply means that you don't need to maintain the mod if the DFU stocking code is changed in the future. Also it could be useful for other mods as it's quite an ingenious and simple way to enable selling items other than the standard game stores, and it would e a shame if they all had to contain a copy of the stocking code.

I'll create a PR for DFU then, once I double check there's no changes.
