Streamline Your Farming with the Planting Helper Mod for Don’t Starve Together

Tired of the tedious task of individually planting every grass tuft, sapling, berry bush, or tree in Don’t Starve Together? The Planting Helper mod is here to revolutionize your base-building and resource management, offering a powerful client-side tool to automate the process and reclaim your valuable time. Say goodbye to repetitive clicking and hello to efficient, organized cultivation.

Effortless Batch Planting

This intuitive mod transforms how you approach farming. Simply hold any plantable item, and a visual grid preview will appear at your cursor. Green indicators show where you can plant, while red highlights blocked areas. The current dimensions of your planting grid are clearly displayed below the preview, giving you instant feedback on your chosen layout.

Customizable Grid and Intelligent Planting

Adjusting the size of your planting area is a breeze. Use `Ctrl + Mouse Wheel` to modify the number of rows and `Alt + Mouse Wheel` to control the number of columns. Once you’re satisfied with the dimensions, a simple right-click initiates the batch planting process. The mod intelligently utilizes matching plants from your hands, inventory, and even your backpack, ensuring no resource goes to waste. It employs a smart pathing system to fill the entire designated area, even retrying and filling any missed spots, including the tile you might be standing on. The grid locks in place during planting, providing live progress updates with highlighted current and cleared tiles. The process automatically stops when the field is complete or when you run out of the necessary items.

Key Features at a Glance:

• Hold any plantable item to activate the grid preview.
• Adjust grid dimensions easily with keyboard and mouse wheel combinations.
• Initiate batch planting with a single right-click.
• Automatically consumes items from hands, inventory, and backpack.
• Intelligent pathing ensures complete coverage and fills gaps.
• Live progress indicators show planting status.
• Cancel the batch planting process instantly by pressing a movement key.

Visual Feedback and Settings Control

Stay informed with the mod’s indicator light, a small wooden tab near your crafting button. It visually communicates the planting status: yellow for ready, fast yellow for resizing, green for planting, solid green for completion, and red for unplantable areas. Clicking this tab opens a settings window where you can toggle Grid Snapping and adjust the Spacing between plants. Your preferences are saved across game sessions, ensuring a consistent experience. The mod also intelligently resets the grid size to 1×1 after a period of inactivity, preventing unexpected large previews.

Compatibility and Notes

The Planting Helper mod is designed to be client-side only and is compatible with the Geometric Placement mod, syncing with its world grid settings for square layouts. It works exclusively with plantable items like grass, saplings, bushes, and trees, intentionally excluding structures and other deployables. Streamline your farming and enjoy more time for adventure with this essential Don’t Starve Together mod.
