NDL Expanded Growth (LEGACY) is a Vintage Story mod by NateDoesLife. NDL Expanded Growth adds alternative ways to grow grass, trees, berries, flowers, mushrooms, and coral in Vintage Story.
Why this mod is worth installing
This legacy all-in-one mod suits players who want more control over natural resources and easier renewable growth. It is no longer maintained; its features have been separated into individual modules.
What NDL Expanded Growth (LEGACY) adds
The mod expands growth beyond the usual world rules. Grass can spread in places such as deserts, rocky ground, and gravel areas, while grass seeds can also populate existing grassy soil with tall grass across a small area.
A burlap sack provides a controlled tree-growing method: fill it with soil and a sapling, place it on the ground, and wait for the tree to develop. The method supports large tree variants and ignores temperature restrictions.
Additional systems cover flower propagation, berry seed production, mushroom growth, and coral cultivation. Coral growth is especially useful for obtaining coral building materials without stripping natural reefs.
Each feature was designed to be optional through configuration, and the in-game handbook contains the relevant recipes and usage notes. This page describes the legacy combined release rather than the newer separated modules.
