Debarked wood doesn't have a recipe even though it exists..
There seems to be no crafting recipe for me?
This is generating a lot of warnings on server initialization, not sure if they're known and safe to ignore....
Can you make it work for gravity dirt?
Posts and Beam update?! Woo!

I've incorperated ShaeTsu's More Torch Holders compat into the latest release via conditional patch if that mod is present.
Zach2039 I've been working on adding Floral Zones and More Torch holders compatibility to this mod, on top up updating it to net8/v1.21. Would you be okay with me releasing it as a fork here on the mod DB, or would you rather I make a PR to your repo when I'm done?
Juppi Bless you, i was about to hesitate downloading this mod
Posts and Beams v1.4.0 is working fine in single player game v1.21.1 (stable).
Currently this crashes (as I would expect) when placing any torch from Torch Holder Smithing Plus (https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/21921)
Any chance we can get a compat patch for this mod or an option to disable torch holders on posts?
Loving the posts and beams!
What does the support factor in the description even mean? I'm literally looking at VS's code on Github and I can't even find a mention of it. Where did you find it?

Tested in 1.21 Stable (not release candidates)
Seems like it works, i can place the posts, put torch holders on them, and they work to prevent cave ins
didn't test it too deeply so use at your own risk of course.
does this work with 1.21?
Hi there!
Brilliant mod and I love it.
However I am wondering... what are beams for? (The horizontal ones)
I am on 1.20.12 and I can make the exact full structures like on the GIFs with just posts. If I try to place beams, they are just separate blocks and do not connect to vertical ones.
Finnicus I also came from TFC, and I wanted these kinds of supports too.
very swag :3
Tysm OP, I missed the tfc supports system so much.
I probably don't quite understand how it works, but when I fixed the ceiling with thick, even sticks and dug blocks of chalk between the beams, after which 1 pack of chalk fell on me and almost nailed me. :L

It is a matter complicated by how the game handles cave-ins and how instability is calculated.
Support factor is defined as "unstableRockStabilization" in the block json for the post and beam, and is used in BlockBehaviorUnstableRock during the scan for nearest support distance. The value of "unstableRockStabilization" is subtracted from the horizontal square distance to a collapable block, which makes a stronger support factor beam placed further away count for the same min distance as a weaker beam that is closer; it is important to note that the min distance to a beam cannot be less than 0 (e.g. support factor of 8 beam, 2 blocks away, does not equal -6 distance).
There is a "maxSupportDistance" in BlockBehaviorUnstableRock, which is different depending on the rock type:
Because the distance calculation cannot be less than 0, strong beams do not support past the above max supported distances listed above. You will see the most benefit of stronger beams with stone types that allow larger support distances.
So, what does it mean by support factor of 8. The posts and beams don't seem to support any better than vanilla. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
For reference, If I place a beam then it supports about 2 blocks away before stablity drops off rapidly. Is it supposed to "just be stronger" or is it supposed to support up to 8 blocks away from itself?
need in vanila tbh
ty very much for posting this mod, like others said it makes preventing cave-ins looks quite good compared to the regular beams.

I missed TFC support beams once I started VS, even before cave-ins were implemented. I had to have them 😁.
Very TFC of you, I love it!
Perfect! I hate vanilla beams to prevent cave-ins. Very tedious to place them to look good. Most convenient is to spam singular beam "dots" on the ceiling. Which looks ugly af. But it is the fastest and most convenient in vanilla unfortunately. Thank you for this mod! Definitely gonna use it when I get back to VS.
Very cool. Now I wish I could take out supports and use these.

This should now be fixed in the mod with recent release v1.4.0. Thank you for providing a workaround patch.
This mod continues to be insanely goated and one of the core mods I refuse to play without
Resolved the errors with a simple content mod. The error was preventing debarked beams from being crafted back into posts.
https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/18216 Developer updated to incorporate fix and this fix has been deprecated
No issues on 1.20.1 for me, haven't confirmed that the crafting recipes all work still though.
Getting this error on server boot with 1.3.2

Should be fixed now, with v1.3.2.

Late reply, but should be fixed with recent versions. We run this mod on our small pop private server, and the beam connects look okay so far.

Hi, currently using your mod and its lovely, however in multiplayer the posts always are t-shaped and never correctly connect to the beams. in SP the issue does not exist.
Zach2039 One other suggestion. The posts and beams are currently set to occupy the center of each block. How difficult would it be to have the ability to shift from the center to the corners or sides? Perhaps by using a tool in hand with a right click like the wrench? That way you could have post and beam blocks along the inside or outside of walls, tight to the wall, as well as the usual positioning. Failing that, recipe variations for the corner posts similar to the way shingled roof blocks are currently done
Zach2039
Thanks for fulfilling my request!
It would be more flexible if the posts and beams with bark installed could also be right clicked with the axe and the bark could be peeled off, if you could craft with the peeled wood, or if you could do something with the peeled bark.
But then it would have to be compatible with Ancient Tools.
🥂 Cheers, Zach2039 - thank you :)
PeterSanderson, macoto_hino
Done. Both posts and beams can now be converted with an axe to their debarked versions.
Seconded request for debarked versions. Will follow with interest as this was one of the features I really liked from TFC.
Barked posts and beams would be a good choice for indoor use.
I'd like to see it ultimately aim for the Mini-chiri in the Minecraft mod.😀
