Herbs Dry Themselves

HERBS DRY THEMSELVES

ABOUT THE MOD
Herbs Dry Themselves automatically converts aged/decayed fresh herbs (at 0% freshness by default) into their corresponding dried herb variants whenever you interact with any Alchemy Workbench.

No more manually managing spoiled herbs or watching your carefully gathered plants turn to useless rot! The mod checks your Player Inventory, Master Stash, and Horse Inventory, seamlessly turning fully aged herbs into valuable dried ingredients ready for alchemy brewing.

KEY FEATURES
* Automatic Conversion: Aged fresh herbs turn into dried herbs upon opening any Alchemy Workbench.
* Extremely Lightweight: Only triggers when accessing an Alchemy Workbench. Does NOT constantly run background loops or drain performance.
* Container Coverage: Automatically inspects your Player Inventory, Master Stash, and Horse Inventory.
* Configurable Freshness Threshold: Set the freshness percentage at which herbs dry (default is 0% condition).
* Fully Customizable Options: Easily toggle individual container checks or workbench triggers via config.lua.
* Clean Standalone Script: Safe to install or remove at any time without corrupting save files.

HOW IT WORKS
The script is event-driven and extremely lightweight. It ONLY runs a single rapid check when Henry interacts with an Alchemy Workbench — it does NOT run continuously in the background while playing.

When triggered at the workbench, the mod scans your enabled containers for fresh herbs whose freshness/condition has reached 0% (or your configured threshold). It safely replaces the decayed fresh herbs with the equivalent count of dried herbs in the same container.
