Cactus grows without sunlight

[Goldmattress]

Cactus grows without sunlight, even if there is a block above it, it will still grow.

That's vanilla. RB penalizes the lack of sunlight but it still grows.

No its not look at the config, it inherits column which requires sunlight,
this is a bug.

"requires sunlight" means that a penalty is applied, not that it does not grow at all. Cactus also used to grow on civcraft before the update to persistence, just slower. I have a farm with the cacti in columns without direct sunlight, I have seen it work.

That is absolutely not how it was supposed to work, every bit of documentation has indicated that all columnar plants require sunlight or glow stone to grow. I know very well that it has worked for a long time I just didn't bother to post about it till now.

See here how it was always a penalty. Before that commit I think there was a "openSkyBonus" modifier. So I don't know where you got that it absolutely requires full sunlight to grow.

Here is a screenshot of a vertical cactus farm that is over a year old:

I remember that the builder did the math for not-full-sunlight and space efficiency.

Given the long history, changing this would be an absolutely enormous nerf,
perhaps two orders of magnitudes for a larger stacked farm.

I'm not in favor of this change, for now, instead we should fix the docs to
reflect actual behavior.

Ok closing, in the wiki article I wrote it is clear that lack of sunlight only applies a penalty https://github.com/Civcraft/RealisticBiomes/wiki#light-bonus
