Scope creep set in, so this mod contains a bit more than just building elements.

Content

  • Ability to dismantle the reed basket trap.
  • It's a stick holding up a basket, not rocket science.
  • Ability to mount an oil lamp or lantern on the raft.
  • Things with flat bottoms fit on flat surfaces. A theory ever so slightly more complex than the stick thing. Primitive survival (not to be confused with Primitive Survival) in style.
  • Advanced Crude Door ("It's not a bug, it's a feature". It's back. With a vengeance.) (Technically the break chance was lowered from 10% to 8%.)
  • Doesn't change the behaviour of the existing door. Instead it adds an upgraded version one can craft. Be mindful, though, those hinges you came up with are made of rope, not metal. Don't expect them to survive any relocations.
  • Ideally I'd like to lock this door behind some kind of progression, but alas the Vanilla game doesn't offer any great intermediate steps (particularly in the tool department) between Stone/Pottery Age and Copper Anvil Age, at which point the door becomes more or less superfluous.
  • Half log corners
  • Like the Vanilla quad-log corners, but a bit more rustic. Naturally it comes woodtyped. Also comes with recipes to switch between quad- and half-logs at your leisure.
  • Parchment Window
  • An early game alternative to the quartz glass nobody knows about. It's parchment, so don't expect the transparency of glass.
  • Ideally I'd like to lock this window behind a meaningful progression too, but the base game doesn't offer much in this regard, which is why I added a very simple parchment item that can be crafted with oiled hides. It can also be crafted with scraped hides. Both styles have slightly different pane textures. More suited for the builder or decorator type.
  • Scaffolding
  • Acts like a ladder (convenient placement and dismantling) but gives you the visual feeling of security of a full block. On top of that it even looks better than your Vanilla ladder scaffolds. For your convenience the block is also dismantled a lot faster than you average ladder. Rated E for Everybody.
  • Comes woodtyped as well. More suited for the decorator type.

Known Issues

  • Parchment Window: Certain elements (such as water or leaded glass panes) are more visible through the window. This applies to Vanilla glass too, but is a bit more visible on the parchment variation.
  • Scaffolding: Not the biggest problem. It's essentially a ladder, so it will attach like one to blocks, which results in scaffolds attached to blocks not breaking with the rest. I am not experienced enough to manipulate this behaviour.

State of the mod

There are one or two things I would like to add, but those are currently well beyond my capabilities.

Boyarde It appears I have fallen for a caching issue, not only on one but two worlds. Cheers for the heads-up.

The straw seems to stay intact with the model when opened on my end

Closed state

Opened state

This might just be on my end somehow but it seems to be working fine in that regard.

Boyarde You are a rascal indeed.

The main reason why the door is not in the game, is, because the straw disappears in the opened state. I don't know enough about animations to understand the issue. I'll continue to try finding a fix, but I wanted to get the mod out, because I kept delaying and delaying the release.

Thank you for your kind words and suggestions!

I really love this mod. I found the insulated crude door (I'm a rascal I know), and thought maybe it could have a craft recipe involving resin glue and dry grass/thatch. My logic is that by the time you can grind charcoal for pitch glue you should be around copper age, so it's not allowing access to insulated doors earlier than intended. This request is solely because I really like how the insulated version looks, so don't pay it mind if you have more important things to do. It would just be nice to have access to it without needing creative.
