OptimizedLeather2.zip  1-click install


This is an updated variant of the Optimized Leather mod made by Ethonodon.

Check out Optimized Preservation to decrease the time it takes to create foods in a barrel.

Here's a table showing the various times to process hides into leather, in vanilla and this mod:

Recipe Name Vanilla Barrel Time Modded Barrel Time
Soaked Hide (Limewater) 20 hours (0.83 days) 5 hours
Soaked Hide (Borax) 18 hours (0.75 days) 4 hours
Weak Tannin 24 hours (1 day) 10 hours
Prepared Hide 72 hours (3 days) 12 hours
Strong Tannin 24 hours (1 day) 10 hours
Leather 108 hours (4.5 days) 12 hours
Leather (Total) 204 hours (8.5 days) 34 hours (1.42 days)

Got a problem with this mod or need to see it updated? Let me know on my Discord! Support me on Patreon or Ko-Fi.

All of my changes in this mod are public domain. I'd release it fully in public domain, but the original mod is not public domain. The changes are simple enough, so I doubt it'd ever be an issue.

It's fairly simple to change the values in \AppData\Roaming\Vintagestory\assets\survival\recipes\barrel if you wish to do it manually

GiantSeel once again, the mod is mostly in the public domain, so feel free to do whatever you want with it

God tier mod. Leather freezes the whole server progression every time it comes to it.

This would be really good with a config file or in-game setting in which you can alter the values yourself. 204h is a lot for my taste, but 34h is too fast.
