Latest file for v1.14.8:
Reduced Grind Mod -1.1.2.zip
1-click install
Some personal adjustments. Reported working for servers.
Most Wood and Charcoal burns for longer, including sticks, hay, etc. Temperatures unaffected.
Torch burntime extended to 720 hours.
Increased Firewood amount per log to 8.
Increased droprate or added Fat to most animal loot (size of animal considered).
Fat added to Drifter loot. Drifter loot more common as well so they aren't just an inconvenience.
Increased Metal Ore Yields from chunks mined from stone. Nuggets are still worth 5 units of metal each. Poor Chunks are worth 50 Units (10 Nuggets), Medium Chunks are worth 100 units (20 Nuggets), Rich Chunks are worth 200 Units (40 Nuggets) and Bountiful Chunks are worth 500 Units (100 Nuggets).
Cumulative Changes by version:
1.0.1 Change:
Peat burn time increased
1.1.1 Changes:
Increased Coal-type burn times (finally found).
Increased Charcoal and Coke burn times further (to 800 by request).
Increased Feather drop amounts.
Increased Flax crop drops, so you aren't waiting such a long time to get to Windmills.
Expanded Drifter loot. Fat, Rot, Arrows, Flax and Rusty Gears are now common drops. Temporal Gears still rare. See fourth image for example of loot drops results.
1.1.2 Changes:
Reduced rarity of Rusty Gears, Metal Parts and Metal Scraps from Bells and Locust.

It looks like the crystalized versions of chunks still yield 10 nuggets, therefore making them less valuable than standard ones
KoiThorn Thanks for this excellent mod! Especially the vanilla wood burning time and firewood amount were complete immersion-killers for me, but your mod fixes that entirely!
But the bug reported by Legolas141 (roosters not dropping feathers) is still present in the current version, and I don't want to mess with the .json files myself because I don't know what will happen if clients connect to my server without the applied fixes. Can you please update the mod as suggested by Legolas141?
Thanks!
update when
Legolas141 , has this been fixed yet? or is this still something id need to do?
@Ziru The mod appears to still work for the most part in 1.18.1. However it did break the drop table for roosters and hens so they no longer dropped feathers. If you go into the mods zip file and look under assets>game>patches you will need to delete the entries for survival-entities-land-chicken-rooster.json and survival-entities-land-chicken-hen.json. That will fix the feather issues in the drop pool. I have not yet run into any other issues that I have noticed. The ore and firewood changes are still working which was the main reason for me using this mod.
Oop, I stopped playing for a long time.
I'll see about doing an udpate when I get time.
Life happened, sorry.
Please update to 1.7.9
I'm trying to remove the survival-itemtypes-resource-ore-graded & survival-itemtypes-resource-ore-ungraded json files from the mod to remove the ore drop change but when I do that and rezip the mod the game no longer recognizes the zip file as a proper mod package.
Edit: Seems the mod is fine with deleting some of the files under assets \game\patches while other files have to stay/be edited I've modify my copy of the mod to keep the base game balencing for chunks.
Edit: Why is it that Aurochs didn't have their loot tables modified?
Update the mod pls to 1.16.4
charcoal do not burn longer in the forge
@Craluminum Got it thanks!
"Mod acrhive" -> assets -> game -> patches
(I find vanilla balance is the best)
Is there a way to tweak this mod? I'm finding the ore drops to be too great. I'm flooded with copper ore after one medium rich vein extraction.
Copper Ore needs to be broken into Nuggets with a Hammer first, Shadowcody.
i can't seen to smelt copper ore it just says to cold
Haven't tried that, actually.
Hmmm, ideas. Have you tried changing the base inventory size of harvested corpses? That's about all I can suggest, but I assume you tried that already so really I got nothing.
Having issues with adding the fifth item drop to the Hens, so I might not be able to get egg drops added unless the game properly supports it.
I'll see about adding that to another version for you. Took some time to consider it, but personally I don't see that being a logical drop.
Sorry for having to post this in another comment but I didn't think about this till after you updated but adding or changing eggs to the drop list for chickens too. Forgot to say that in that message. lol
The only problem I have with making coal burn for that long is that it's not meant to be a very large amount of coal. I'll see about doubling what it is now though. I'll increase feather drops though.
Just make the burn times for coal 12x like the others too and also if you can make it so chickens drop feathers more often and in a bit higher numbers. Can be difficult if you aren't really a farmer or anything getting enough feathers. Even then it seems to be a bit much.
If I've missed any specific things, I'll add them to the mod when I find them, like I've done with Peat.
If you have a certain length of burn time you want for anything, do mention. I can adjust them easily.
This really needs either a config file or a lot of burn items feul times increased. Ex. coal, charcoal, etc.
