Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.6 and 1.22.0-pre.1 - 1.22.0-rc.2):
nomadtents_112.zip 1-click install
Do you ache to hear the call of Chiingis Khan? Do you long for the steppes? Does your soul yearn for fermented goats milk, the taste of horse blood, and the winds of endless grasslands tussling your hair? Have you despaired in the heat of the world and longed for the negative 40 degree temperatures of Siberia!? HAVE YOU!?!?
FRET NO MORE!! Now you can spawn into the deathly frozen tundra with hope that the next few animals you slay might present you with just enough skin to build your own nomadic tent!
Brave the arctic! F*** trees! F*** cob! I'll dwell in a skin house made of my enemies!
p.s. Did you know Tolkien based "orks" off of the mongolians? It's true! Deep down, i always knew i was an ork. WAAAAGH!

FEATURES
- Allows you to build easily movable tent blocks out of small hides/pelts, bones and some rope. Goes well with a nomadic playrthrough or with my other mod "BasicBrushcraft"!

POSSIBLE PLANS
- Support beams made of bones
- Bone furniture or decorations?
- Tent flap chimneys?
DEFINITE PLANS
- Change name of "pelt tent"
- Require the fancier (white) tent to require scraping of the hide maybe
- Add stronger, leather tents
- Add differences in convenience between tent types (fancier materials are easier to take back down, maybe insulate better?)
- Change saw recipe to use rope instead of twine

how do i put images in the comment cuz i wanna give the people their reference pictures but im dumb
Ardail I know this doesn't answer your question, but rn I'm using this mod for a 100% hunter-gatherer game and while forging in small camps is definitely outside my current comfort zone, its definitely not impossible (as archaeologists in Sweden discovered in 2022). So that might be an idea to try out if you're interested. I'm also using the tentbags mod, which makes picking up and moving easier, but it's not essential.
Ardail honestly i have no idea. i haven't even experienced the chiseling mechanic of the game yet so I couldn't tell you. There's probably a way to do it. Just not sure where to start.
would it be possible to get a cheap early like bone chisel or something so we can make this into more of a tent shape in the stone age? maybe make it so the chisel can only create "chiseled" blocks only out of the materials of this mod?
Because by the time I'd get a chisel to make these blocks into more of a tent shape I'd already have a bigger house lol

Oh then nevermind, that's alright, I actually didn't know one can do that :D
I mean, I could probably do that but you can literally cut the larger hides down into smaller ones. I built that functionality into the mod.
Would you please consider allowing bigger pelts and hides for the block crafting as well? Maybe for example...medium pelts/hides would have to cover only 3 out of 4 required slots, large 2 and huge only 1...
TheSinisterRat You are quite welcome good sir! I hope you enjoy it. Of all my mods, this one is the simplest and, in my opinion, one of the most necessary for a savage cold world thin start. Right now my testing play through looks like snow, snow, more snow, some ice, a few yaks and one to two trees on the horizon.
One of the most useful features of this mod is the fact that you can use a knife to cut down larger hides into several smaller ones - which you can then use to build the tent blocks with. If you're doing a nomad playthrough I also recommend my "good hunting" mod and my "basic bushcraft" mod that are similarly built for survival fun.
I have been looking for an up to date tent mod, and then, like a sudden cave mouth in a blizzard on the tundra, crackling with the flame of another considerably-less-chilly traveller, here you are!
Thank you immensely! Looking very forward to utilizing this for my travels. May the winter chill never penetrate the walls of your tent!
PS. Congratulations on quitting!
add pics of the mod
Ruina TheLoneTraveller SheepSheep FemboyPawjobCZ Montes556x45 Sorry guys I quit video games for about 5 months... Coming back now though because i decided to quit smoking and I figure this is a healthier outlet, lol. I'm probably going to start up playing again soon so I'll be back to modding and updating.
About the pelts. At the time I had designed this mod to work alongside my other one called "Good Hunting" that causes more realistic and common pelt drops along with meat. It was useful for my super cold weather primitive play through.
As for adding Tipis, i mean, you could just use blocks in such a way as to make them look like one. I wanted this mod to be very simple. I like to use existing objects when modding to cut down on weird errors and incompatibilities.
Anyway. It will likely take me a minute for my brain to get spun back up again and get all my mods updated to the new version. Thanks for your patience. Tents are an early game necessity for me so i'll likely update this one soonish.
Please update
is there a 1.21 update for this?
I just bought this game yesterday and this is exactly the mod I was looking for above all other possible mod ideas, but I see it is outdated. Please update it, it would allow me to enjoy this game so much more! I will try to use it anyways and see if it doesn't matter for new update.
could this mod be updated for 1.21? And add tipis?
Isnt four pelts for one block a bit too much? I mean if i was to build a tent i wouldnt make a full wall of pelts but only like a covering of it? I know this is a limitation of the game but i think itd be better if four pelts made four blocks. Is there any way to tweak this myself?
why do i Have to use small pelts I DONT KEEP RABBITS!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I see! Thanks guys :)
eerino tentbags uses DLLs which I don't like in my mods. I'm a minimalist when it comes to this stuff, and just needed a couple blocks made of hide or cloth that were easy to break and move.
JustaKobold someone else added pictures of the added blocks in the comments below. (thanks Russet). At the moment those are the only two added blocks. I had plans to add more things but life took a turn and I moved on to different things. I'll be back at some point though.
Can we get some pics of the added blocks?
eerino
I suggest pairing it with tentbags
it's easier to move around than stone or planks by merit of it's faster to break these blocks.
For clarity, this isn't a tent to use as a mobile base? This mod adds two blocks made of "small hides/pelts." You mention it is "easily movable" and "Goes well with a nomadic playrthrough" but I'm not understanding how these two blocks acomplish that. I have it installed and am interested to know more!

I moddled you a roof block, no corners yet though. this is a shape file
You had me at "support beams made of bones" so I'll bookmark this for the future where I make a bony mine to prevent cave-ins
Decided to try it out and it's got potential. It uses Raw Hides for the Rawhide Block and Pelts for the Pelt block. It's a simple block to build with, they can be Chiseled and they have a whooosh sound effect when you place them and Ripping sound effect when you break them. Could probably make a fun design with it if you've got chisel experience.
Hallo, this mod adds "tent" blocks only not a tents. Or am I wrong? Im bit confussed from description of the mod and mod name. At least one creenshot would be great. Thank you.
Hows this diffrer from the tents in the Lichen mod?
Is this a mod or just an idea of a mod?
add ref. pics bro!
