dashr I'll check the recipe for the lantern. The Level of brightness is a bit hacky and you only have to wear it and the helmet doen't block the hand so there have to be a tradeoff for this.

💬 dashr, Apr 18th at 6:58 PM

Hey Ritzga it's working without any issues now. Thank you for your hard work! 

Btw. I'm having trouble crafting the helmet. The handbook doesn't show a recipe, and the one on your mod page isn't working for me either.

Also, it would be great if the helmet wasn't available right at the start and if it could be made brighter. Considering the resources that you need; 3 plates and a lantern, it should at least match the brightness of a regular lantern, if not exceed it.

Would be awesome if you could consider it. Thank you!

💬 RitzgaAuthor, Apr 14th at 8:35 AM

dashr thanks for the advice. I'll add the mod support!

Update: I added the behaviour, please test it, thanks!

💬 dashr, Apr 10th at 9:48 AM

Hey, awesome mod! Quick question though; I have trouble running this with Xskills. The reinforced pickaxe doesn't work with the "veinminer" skill of XSkills. What do I need to change to get it to work?

This is directly from the "XSkills" forum:

"Q: Is this mod compatible with weapon mods?

A: Yes, as long as the author of the weapon mod categorized their weapons as one of the game's weapon categories."

Although they talking about weapons, it seems this is the same for tools.

💬 RitzgaAuthor, Apr 2nd at 9:14 AM

onenaser, you have a 50% chance of getting more ores. Every drop is a roll and with +50% the chance to get aditional ores are hihgher: 3 ores could be 8 ores

💬 onenaser, Mar 19th at 6:12 PM

first thing: thank you so much for the mod

I want to ask you, what is (50% ore drop rate)? is that mean there's 50% chance I'll get double ore?

💬 RitzgaAuthor, Mar 16th at 10:12 AM

Thank you all for using this mod, 1000 downloads are amazing <3

Ooh, a blacksmith class sounds great. That's fair.

Reinforcing sounds nice, just anyway to keep a pickaxe around for longer is great.

💬 RitzgaAuthor, Feb 29th at 6:46 PM

Boyarde I'll think about the repair feature, but I currently work on a blacksmith class who can repair tools, which is way more immersive. I think I create some recipies for more durable/reinforced pickaxes.

💬 Boyarde, Feb 28th at 11:37 PM

The light works great. This is a great class mod, as someone who loves playing a dwarf miner any chance I get. Definitely keeping this mod around in my game. I think an earlier pickaxe would be too much, but a way to repair/maintain a pickaxe to save on resources/time would be cool if feasible.

💬 RitzgaAuthor, Feb 19th at 7:49 PM

Boyarde It should be class exclusive recipe but they are useable by everyone after crafting. I also had some new features for the coming version!

💬 Boyarde, Feb 19th at 12:26 AM

The improvised bomb works great btw. Tried it out finally (been busy with school).

It doesn't help cheese progress too much because you still need a hammer before you can use anything from what you get from using it.

It would be nice to have the bombs as class exclusive recipes just to help add some flavor/balance to the class. (Balance in the sense of keeping some of the progression cheese lower)

💬 RitzgaAuthor, Jan 27th at 10:47 AM

Boyarde good idea, I think about it!

Update: I think a kind of welding powder (rust, aluminum => rusty gear and bauxite) with some clay could work as a bomb.

💬 Boyarde, Jan 27th at 9:23 AM

It would be interesting to have some sort of simple but less effective ore blasting bomb that could be made early maybe to give miners an advantage in getting early ore. Would be nice since any miner class usually feels useless until you get your first pickaxe, it would help since you could just find copper bits above surface copper and blast that.

Flax string for a fuse, flax cloth for a wrapping, and maybe terra preta since it still requires making charcoal so its not too fast of progression.

💬 RitzgaAuthor, Jan 19th at 8:16 PM

Aksyl these mods are outdated (not for 1.19) but it looks intresting, thanks for the idea.

💬 Aksyl, Jan 19th at 5:00 PM

Consider X-Skills compatibility?
