Can you add expanded food compatibylity for oils? Please :-)

I want to see this as a library to use in my watt steam engine mod I'm doing now. Can i help you with it?

Might I suggest a possible balancing approach that should satisfy all use cases for not much effort at all? =)

Add the following values to your config: a processingSpeedMultiplier (float), and a scaleWithNumberOfCuts (bool).

Then, calculate the work to be done by the sawmill as such:
baseWorkValue x hardnessMultiplier x sawTierMultiplier x processingSpeedMultiplier x numberOfCuts

numberOfCuts is either 1, if the config setting is false; or output items -1, minimum 1, if the config setting is true. The former would be the way the mod currently works, for those that prefer it. The latter would mirror the approach taken by Immersive Wood Sawing, where each output item requires a separate cut (except the last two items, which pop out together). I don't think you need to go and rework your mod so that it actually outputs items one by one as the sawing progresses - I mean, you could if you wanted to. But just giving players a setting to scale process time by number of cuts is already enough to make the sawmill mesh decently well with Immersive Wood Sawing.

You already use sawTierMultiplier and hardnessMultiplier. processingSpeedMultiplier comes from the config and can default to 1.0.

Then, assuming you're happy with the current baseWorkValue, you're done. =)

Awesome to hear!

General_Kitten  can absolutely look into that, now it's just a hacked balance where I check the hardness of what's being sawed and the tier of the saw. But I could add a multiplier.

Heavy_Mettaloid  slowly working on a wood splitter that will do the same as the sawmill for axe recipes!

Always wanted a sawmill. Would be cool if we could configure it to do other woodworking tasks like debarking logs or turning them into firewood.

Love the mod! One thing i would like you to add is a config option to alter the speed of the sawmill as with immersive wood sawing suddendly having a process that takes minutes to do by hand being suddendly automatable and taking just about a second per block with a fast windmill makes the sawmill feel extremely overpowered.

A new version that includes In Dappled Groves compatibility is now up! Any sawbuck recipe (with tool mode sawing) will work with the sawmill as well. Let me know if this isn't enough, I'm not overly familiar with the mod!

IDK which direction i should ask for this however there is a mod called wear and tear for mechanical devices and I think that that system of wear would be a cool blend.  Idk enough on modding to know if i should request it here or on his mod because i think it instantly solves the "infinite" saw issue.  I'll make a comment to him as well and idk maybe yall can hash it out if your both interested.  thanks

This is what a decompiler is, basically unwraps C# code mods, so you can view the information, cause when packing the mod into a zip, I think it turns it into a dll file, which is unreadable. Can see that in code mods, when looking into the zip folder. 

If you would be down to take a look at this mod, that would be sick! I recommend joining the discord, they have bunch of info on this type of stuff.

This is what a decompiler is, and how to setup for VS: https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php/Modding:Decompiler 

lmk if you need help, I know a ton about modding, just not enough about coding lol

dude is adding more machines, neato this, this old mod already has a shaker table and the author basically says it's ok to yoink it https://mods.vintagestory.at/autosifter you might get a bit of a boost by tinkering with it.

SalazarWindriver dappled grove has the same issue as Immersive Wood Sawing (the grid recipes are disabled) though after a bit of a look I can't find any easy way to hook into this one. Might have to go with the recipe caching which I feel is... sub-optimal since then recipe enable/disable will be out of the players control. I'll check if the creator has any ideas.

is there any issue with this and in dappled grove?

KingFables Florasphere should work out of the box, just missing translations. I'll add that in the next patch. Axle in Blocks should also just work. I guess one thing to consider there would be adding a boxed slider-crank. I'll put it somewhere on the list 😁

If you could add compatability for Florasphere seeing as it adds loads of trees that would be awesome. I think the wood types added in are wonderful. Also if it doesn't work with it adding compatability with the Axel In Blocks mod would be dope too for more ways to utilize and stylize powered structures.

Pushed a new version with Immersive Wood Sawing compatibility! I tried to test what I could think of. Let me know if something's off!

I love this. Also a user of immersive wood sawing. Would also be great to have a Helve-axe. There's already one but seems to only work with In Dappled Groves. I use immersive wood chopping too, so this would be a great mechanical addition. 

Desolae Ah! Gotcha, I thought it was more involved than that. I'll take a look at Immersive Wood Sawing and see what I can do!

Should be enough to edit the mod's patch that remove the recipe, on the immersive woodstuff

Quaan Immersive Wood Sawing only deals with the recipes to turn log+saw into boards, so that could possibly be just 1 recipe that would need to be hardcoded? Or one for every variant of wood maybe, depending on how the game handles wood variants in crafting recipes? Or I'm not sure if there are any alternate methods available to IWS which would hide those recipes from players but keep them available for other mods to call on in the normal way.

Quaan, Make dictionary with recipes in ModSystem?

morryatay I'm hoping to add some new machines soon!

Desolae Not quite sure how I would solve this. I would have to hard-code some recipes (since they wouldn't exist)... Which ones would that be? All the vanilla "1 block + saw as tool"? I like the idea just can't see a good solution. 

this mod is great i would love to see more mechanical stuff, there used to be a mod for a mchanical sieve to automate panning i'm am hopeful you expand on this and add more neat stuff, maybe someway to harness elk power for a mill or something or a bigger hopperable quern , but for what there is already, kudos to you.

This mod is a perfect companion to Immersive Wood Sawing - especially if you use that mod's default settings to disable crafting grid recipes. Being able to automate sawing (even slowly, even with breakable saws) is a very satisfying progression step when your only option so far as been to spend that time sitting there sawing boards yourself. xD To that end, I wanted to request/ask about whether this mod can still work when the grid recipes are 'disabled' (for players) by another mod such as Immersive Wood Sawing?

thank you!

Added the missing remappings. Only the slider-crank was affected. Your saws are safe!

As a user of the immersive wood sawing mod...

THANKYOU!

I realized I did not consider old saves so existing worlds should hold off until the next patch (which will be shortly!) or you'll have to replace the blocks (and saws are most likely lost)

Everything should now be working on 1.20.3! Still some direction issues that I haven't been able to figure out but most cases should work!

Looking into the invisible models!

it sorta works in 1.19.8, the model for the saw holder is broken though, it shows the outline but it's just transparent
SalazarWindriver

@Wandour in theory if you can hopper items into it and put one underneath you can automate the whole thing, which is what I'm looking for without going gregtech.

what I wanna know is, has anyone tried it in 1.19.8?

Quaan

Looking forward to a 1.19 version, if you're still around! Think this mod will fit neatly between a more manual sawing method, ex. when using the mod Immersive Wood Sawing, and more automated processes using QT-tech or similar mods with sawmills. Might I also suggest a contraption for splitting logs, since there seem to be more vintage log splitters irl powered by belts and flywheels? Look at the following videos for examples, even if they are powered by engines instead of wind/water power (

Quaan

Hoping you're still around, I've been keeping an eye on this mod since I love the idea of using the existing VS systems to add even more progression to the game.
I was hoping we'd be able to use this with Immersive Wood Sawing, and also potentially get a wood splitter for Immersive Wood Chopping.  

Quaan very nice Mod, I love the idea. But to me, this mod only makes sense in combination with the Immersive Wood Sawing mod. Unfortunately, those two mods are not compatible in the current version.
I hope you can fix that soon, as I look forward to integrate this mod on my server.

I have an Idea/suggestion you might be interested in to make this a unique take on automation

is it possible to have two versions or one but a configurable sawmill?

to like, chop up wood into firewood for example, instead of having to do it manually a player can drop it in a chute > sawmill > hopper for example and forget about it for awhile
instead of just planks which most of the time isnt too necessary to constantly craft unlike firewood which is needed for fuel, charcoal burning, etc

I dont understand the idea of this mod

can't we already put a stack of sawable block in the inv and a saw on top of it to cut it back to planks?

what is the advantage of using this?

a 1.19 update would be appreciated

I like that Idea MochaZilla! Might look into that! I need to take a look at the new version anyway.

This is great! I would love to see a firewood splitter added to this mod - IRL log splitters work in a very similar way, and I think firewood making deserves a little automation love!

The mod uses the recipes so if the saw + logs recipe is not there anymore it wont work. To make it compatible it would either need to be re-added (kinda breaking the idea of dappled grove) or handled separately. Might be something to look into!

this mod looks awesome, been really wanting to make a saw mill... but i also am using dappled grove mod, it removes the saw recipe from grid and replaces it with an in world way to make planks.  any idea if this will work with that mod?.. if not it would be really cool to make those compatable.

Now working on 1.18! Only a few minor changes were needed due to API changes in the game.

Looking forward to 1.18 update. Thanks 

Haven't played much lately but will look into gettig it workingon 1.18!

Currently fails on load on 1.18

Excellent, steps being made for Mechanical Mods. Keep up the Grind! hehehehe.

If you have 'In Dappled Groves' installed, this is a perfect addition to upgrading from the manual grind of making planks by hand and keeping most of the imerssion intact. Bravo! Now all we need is a log splitter head for helve hammers :) 

OMG! This is brilliant! Trying this out today! Glad to see a good balanced modder making mods for VS!!!

It is semi-pointless as it is now yes! Appart from an infinite saw slightly balanced by the fact that it takes time to make the stuff.

But the idea is to have a more over-arching linear power, yes!

Cool idea, seems well made - but why use it when you can craft it in your inventory faster?

If it's part of a bigger, more complex automation system then that makes sense but on its own it's kind of pointless.

I really love how there isn't any increased yeild for using this method.
One thing I really hated about OtherBlockGame™ was that everyone added overpowered material duplication for using a machine over crafting.
It lead to a lot of issues where some mods would be incompatible with others because of a resource loop exploit.

Sometimes just having something that goes on its own without any input needed is better than messing around with crafting manually.
