The Laravel 5 migration is complete and I’m back to substrate mixing and brain bug fixing!

Actually, I think now that basic mixing is done I’m going to do a few weeks of just bug fixing. The substrate has no effect on snails’ attributes or behaviour yet, but it will. For now you can just mix different substrate items together into new substrate items.

A few days ago I decided that there’s no use putting it off any longer - it’s time to upgrade to Laravel 5. I’ve been sitting on 4.2 for months and 5 is a major revision to…well…everything.

After checking in the basic substrate item implementation yesterday I got to thinking - never a good sign.

The original idea was to have some pre-set types of substrate - garden dirt, rock, potting soil, pellets, whatever. But how would these items affect the snails and the jar? Would I need to invent some sort of set of attribute templates? Like “Oh well this garden dirt item is going to decrease jar temperature by 1C.” and “Oh well some snails somehow don’t like gardend dirt and prefer other substrates”. But why? Why would a snail prefer one template to another and how would this be decided?
