I've noticed a bit of an exploit with the clothing recycling feature (which is unfortunate because it's very useful).
Some clothing items allow you to basically transmute resources- IE a rawhide mantle/trousers (made from raw hides) can be recycled into... twine?
There's also some mod interactions, such as a grass cape being able to be turned into twine as well.

Is there any way to fix this on my end/the server I'm running US(U) on?

@CaveSalamander yes I have all he needs, I build him a little cabin with a bed and a storage jar full of bread and grain.

and I do get spawns, I just seldom figure out he is there because I get busy.

but thanks for the info about spawning behavior it will come in handy,

I think I’m going to build a little trading village.

with about 6 little houses and place the mats two days apart so there is always at least one trader on hand.

I know that he is spawning even when I don’t catch him because the money in the jar keeps going up.

A feature I kinda try to ignore.

Because to me the point is seeing how much money can make from trading.

So I have to keep that money separate so It does not corrupt my count. I take it out back and throw it in the lake to de-spawn every now and again.

@Mendall are you sure you have the mat's requirements met as listed in the Useful Stuff Guide? It needs a bed and a container with food nearby (no real requirement to be in a "room", open air works in a pinch). A trader's arrival time matches the time the mat was placed down, and days are counted in 24h increments. If the chunk gets unloaded the mat 'catches up' once you return by quickly cycling days until it matches current time so you don't miss any payments traders may have left.

Mats cannot be placed in the same enclosed space (it won't let you), but in a non-enclosed space they can be placed 8 blocks apart, and if given separate rooms they ignore other mats so you can make small temporary rooms for tighter placement. Once placed, mats don't care about each other, even if their 'room' gets deleted, and several merchants can spawn right by each other as long as they all have food available. Should not be an issue for performance if you're only spawning ~4-6 at a time.

@Stahl No I was just thinking itd be cool to make use of the potions from Alchemy for the Arrow Tips, bears didnt even cross my mind, I wouldnt care what the effects would be, we just be nice to have more uses and crosscompabtability was all I was saying ^_^ Or are the arrows in this mod just for shooting bears? o.o 

@stahl   I had not thought of all that,  I play single player so I never considered how the idea would efect a server. But if he just had a bell to ring that would be herd if you are in the area. or maybe just some info posted someplace that explaines in detail his spawning behavior like for instance. does he always spawn at same time of day. how close do you have to be for him to spawn(because I have noticed sometimes he is not there even though the rug said he is.), when rug says he will spawn within a day is that 12 hours or 24.  I have been brainstorming on this for days because I just can't ever catch him at home. another question if i place say 4 rugs to up my chances can they all be in the same room or do they need there own rooms, will more than one spawn at all, and if so will it cause problems of any kind for the server.

as for your question. they should notify when they arive so if you are buisy building or something you know to go trade. 

BTW I agree with TheNightFox parts of this mod especialy the lantern are a god send especialy now that you need to have a hammer in off hand to chisle. that made chisleing at night or in a dark room near imposible without this mod, thnks for that

Mendall Not sure how to go about it. I think the trader makes their usual noices when present, but beyond that, when should the trader notify that they have arrived: when they arrive, or when someone is close by? Who should they notify: only the person who places the mat, the whole server, or people nearby? How should they notify? What if you miss the first notification because you're not near the trader? Maybe what you need instead is for the trader to stay longer?

TheNiteFox So you want to give more movement speed and mining efficiency to the bear you shoot? Maybe even make it more hungry? 🤔😅

BananaBob What kind of buff? The sluice ramp is already very configurable in the configuration file.

any chance sluice ramps will be getting a buff? right now its a huge waste of resource to set them up with very little in terms of rewards

This is just a thought, but it would be really cool if the Tipped Arrows could also use the potions from the Alchemy mod. Idk where I was going with this thought though haha. Just thought itd be cool to dip the arrows into something and it gives them effects. :) 

Thank you so much for updating this mod! I use ABCS and Moreclasses all the time and love the latern feature that comes with this for the ABCS backpacks :') 

Is there any way to get the travling merchant to ring a bell 

I supply or put a message in chat when he arives.

Amigurumi In my tests I get the red text and no errors. 🤔The area is checked for blacklisted items before trying to pack it. It could be that there is some item that causes the error when you try to pack it, but it shouldn't be blacklisted, and in fact the same error should occur if you try to export it in creative mode, because the code uses the same function (besides, you can export Useful Stuff blacklisted items in creative mode without errors). But your error message seems to imply that it's not necessarily an item that's causing the crash, since it says there is something null in Entity.OnStoreCollectibleMappings(Dictionary`2 blockIdMapping, Dictionary`2 itemIdMapping), so something is null in

foreach (var val in Properties.Server.Behaviors)
{
val.OnStoreCollectibleMappings(blockIdMapping, itemIdMapping);
}

}

I'm pretty sure val==null, so something in Properties.Server.Behaviors has to be null. That makes me think the source is something outside Useful Stuff. 🤷‍♂️

Can you pack things that don't contain blacklisted stuff? Or is it just the blacklisted stuff causing problems? I can add error handling, but it won't make the tent bag work I think: it just stops the crashing. 🤷‍♂️

I think I found the cause. It looks like instead of popping the red text to tell you that you can't pack things like a placed anvil, it caused a client crash. Tried it out with a couple of the other blacklisted items. Everything else worked as expected and the bags don't pack when trying to pack with these items in the build so no worries of corrupted bags. Just seems to be not handling the error message without crashing.

Amigurumi: I suspect it's a problem with some other mod/thing that just shows up when you use the tent bag.  🤔 I'm not sure I can help/debug this thing, as it seems to happen 'outside' the mod, but I'll think about it. If you can, see if the problem persist when you export structures in creative mode.

Got this crash when packing a tent bag. Any ideas?

Thank you for doing this!

Can't replicate, seems to work fine for me. 🤔

1.17.4, dont work sluice ramp

@Nudge I can't seem to replicate this, the clip on works fine in my tests. Can you post your logs from VintageStoryData/Logs to e.g. pastebin.com? server-main, server-debug, client-main, client-debug might be able to tell me something. 🤷‍♂️

The lantern clip on feature doesn't seem to work.
