This mod is now deprecated (but still functional)
It has now been refactored out to a pile modding library and added into an example mod
https://mods.vintagestory.at/granary  &   https://mods.vintagestory.at/piles

I was always dissapointed by the lack of options for charcoal-styled piles in vanilla Vintage Story, and so I set out (after making: Alternate Salt and alongside developement of Fish Jenga) to create new Piles for two resources I end up thinking a lot about, and extensibility for perhaps adding more; Salt and Rot.
These piles work just the same way as Charcoal Piles - copying most of the code directly from vanilla Charcoal Piles, with heavy inspiration and notes taken from the famous Stone Piles by FlyingSpaten own interpretation on creating new-custom piles. 

In its current state the mod adds piles for Handfuls of Salt and Rot - Including a wonderful sound effect accompanying the latter.
More piles perhaps to come in future and I may work on creating a more end-user friendly way of creating new piles without touching C# and turning the core of this mod into a Library. However that is very in the air and not on any planned timescale or promised. I also want to experiment with perishable piles (things like grains for creating Silos) and the feasibility for converting into Rot Piles naturally. 

For now however enjoy your Rot and Salt Piles, leave recommendations for more below and you may just see them added.

I also very much reccomend checking out Stone Piles as without it there likely never would have been this mod (and even though I didnt copy their implementation directly, and ended up doing things quite different in areas and more "vanilla" than them, I still owe much of this mods core ideas and feature implementation to the work they originally did for their own - even just note taking and comparing at times. So check them out and give them some support for their awesome work).
