Added infusion for black lotus

In continuation of GTNewHorizons/NewHorizonsCoreMod#1635

Black lotus infusion was added to give a non-loot option of acquiring it. It should be exceptionally useful for challenge runs.

Since it is a small addition. I've added it as a final page to the existing "Floral cultivation" research, as it fits thematically.

Infusion itself consists of a black mystic flower, 4 mana diamonds and 2 GT++ black metal blocks (since it is cheap and one of the most dark blocks in the pack)

Also, I was unable to run spotless for some reason, so right now the code formatting was done manually

The recipe is fine, but I'd put it in its separate research with its dedicated lore. FLOWERCOLOUR contains the utility transmutation of one botania flower into another by foregoing the requisite mushroom of the colour in question in exchange for HV magic.

I'd be tempted to apply a small amount of warp as well for invoking literal black magic

True, there is a discrepancy between color change infusions and an infusion for a different item. It is just that having only black lotus infusion locked behind a research felt a bit anticlimactic.

Let me see if maybe the blackest lotus infusion can also fit in nicely. Not sure if there will be any use for it, but that should increase the perceived value of a dedicated research

Since black and blacker lotus are just a mana battery, what if instead of an infusion you make it a mana pool recipe with a BoP lotus? and make that the recipe uses the same amount of mana that the lotus gives when trowing it into a mana pool

I've just tested this for a moment and it works surprisingly well.

I was thinking that it might just craft into lotus and get consumed by the pool, but it bounces away for a second and you have to stand very far from the pool for it to be consumed.

Prbably for BoP lotus it has to be added in different repo since BoP is not a dependency here. But also if you mean the lotus from the end, then while it is a lotus, it also gives the end aesthetics and it feels a bit strange, so I used the basic black mystic flower for now instead. Also non loot option of getting the end lotus is quite complex (mcguffium dissolution tank)

@combusterf What do you think? Does the TC infusion research or the mana pool infusion suits better?

[kopatych3348]

I've moved it into a dedicated research with some lore:


Also added blackest lotus infusion. Starting black lotus is also oredicted to wildcard, so you can craft blackest lotus into itself, which is completely pointless, but looks like it fits thematically:

Research is pretty simple and can be solved with aer + a bit of vaccum and tree aspects:

Also It's missing CN translation at the moment, but the best I can do is blind google translate.

The code which I used before for testing the mana pool approach is:
BotaniaAPI.registerManaInfusionRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.blackLotus, 1, 0) ,new ItemStack(ModBlocks.flower, 1, 15), 10000);
I did not add it in commits, but that can be also used instead of this PR, as it works well and has it's own appeal of simplicity
