This doesn't help, since many plants have identical foliage, while other plants have several different configurations of the same foliage, making it just a bit of a pain to identify identical species.



I used to work on an MMORPG, and it was very simple to code this. All it required was a yes/no flag for the player. So: player A has produced a Fabled Fern. As soon as that occurs, the game trips the flag in the database next to Fabled Fern, and the next time a Fabled Fern is planted--which can only result from a certain combination of parents--the flag is read, and the game states the plant name above it.

That's not to say it would be easy to code in PT, only that it can be done with ease in some games.

The arrays have to be designed with that in mind. If they aren't, it's not so simple to add.

I've started to keep an Excel sheet with screenies for each type of foliage/flower. It helps me remember what is what. Then I can keep track of the combos.

i keep an empty table 5x3 and i write down the plants i cross bred in them

when i plant the seeds they produced, i plant them in "their mother's" place, so i know what foliage was cross bred and what flowers/fruit were crossbred

its not complicated at all
