🪴 Botanical Pots 1.5

The sixth release of Botanical Pots brings some huge additions, a "huge" nerf, and a bunch of little changes.

Most importantly, the pots can now be upgraded. The idea is simple: You can have only one upgrade active at a time, but you get to experience the whole buff of it.

There are common and rare upgrades, common ones are "easier" to get but provide arguably fewer buffs. Rare ones are a bit more unique, whilst also being harder to get.

💡 To keep this changelog clean and simple, the recipes won't be provided directly. It's not a big deal since you'll get to see all the upgrade recipes whenever you obtain a brick. Seriously, just grab a brick and open up the recipe book!

💡 Fun Fact:

The recipe for the climate upgrade is a brick, surrounded by 4 treats, which may not be intuitive at first.

As of the nerf, you can no longer grow non-tree plants in the pots to compliment the Rich Soil upgrade.

A neat QOL-change: Botanical Pots no longer take items from disabled hoppers, which can arguably result in more advanced automation designs.
