Long Lasting Fertilizer

You know how fertilizer disappears after a harvest even though the soil's still good? Yeah, that's annoying. You shouldn't have to re-fertilize every single cycle when your long-life soil has plenty of uses left.

This mod makes fertilizer effects stick around for as long as the soil does. Plant, harvest, replant — your quality bonus carries over. Simple as that.

How It Works

• Fertilizer effects (yield and quality) carry over between grow cycles on the same soil
• Once the soil runs out of uses, the fertilizer clears and you can start fresh
• Can't double-dip — no stacking fertilizer on top of already-fertilized soil
• Your botanist employees won't waste fertilizer on pots that already have it
• Everything saves and loads with your game, no data lost between sessions
• Works for both Mono & IL2CPP backends

Known Issues

• The fertilizer visual effects don't persist between grow cycles. Your pot will look unfertilized even though the effects are still active. You can verify by trying to apply fertilizer with a bottle, it'll block you if the pot already has it.
