Latest file for Various v1.19.x:
claycasting-v1.1.5.zip 1-click install


Adds in plaster casts of small clay items that can quickly become a pain to make loads of. 

Casts cost mortar and the raw shape of the mould, afterward they can be placed in liquid clay (blue clay + water) to produce quick batches of the product. 

To keep the mod Vanilla+ friendly you will still have to produce the larger clay items and tool molds by hand. 

This is the first mod I've uploaded so lmk what you think! :)

Novalee - v1.1.1 only added vanilla-coloured clays (blue and fire), before this only blue was used. Additionally, bricks and shingles were added. I have given some thought to Bricklayer's clays and may add them with a compatibility patch in the future. 

Kirn - just released v1.1.4 to fix this issue! a few people had mentioned issues like this so this patch is here for them :). note, this update isn't one of the main compatibility patches I plan to do in the future, just a fix for a common issue.

floralrat What does colored clay in 1.1.1 refer to? Does this add colored clays or was that noting that it supports the different vanilla clays? If it adds new colored clays that might be what Xeros08 was referring to, as Bricklayers also adds colored clays.

💬 Kirn, Jan 22nd at 7:39 PM

With bricklayer the recipe of the clay slurry and the liquid clays are similar so you can't make clay slurry.

Do you think about making a compatibility between these two mods?

💬 floralratAuthor, Jan 18th at 7:14 PM

Morgannus - Jugs are fixed for v1.1.2, released today. 

Xeros08 - There shouldn't be any conflicts as far as I am aware, though there are also no direct interactions coded at this point. 

I am now taking suggestions for mod compatibility patches and balance changes ! Please use the form link below.

Anyone knows how this mod interacts with Bricklayers - VintageStory ModDB ?

💬 Morgannus, Dec 9th 2023 at 3:33 AM

@floralrat I don't suppose there would be any plans to make this compatible with A Culinary Artillery's clay bottles? Also, I am unsure if it is by design or not, but the Jug mold isn't craftable, and even if you cheat it in it doesn't seem to want to fill with liquid clay no matter what amount I use.

SpaceBee - Shoot, found the issue, working on a patch rn :) 

edit: patch v1.1.1 is out with the fix :)

💬 SpaceBee, Nov 20th 2023 at 3:35 AM

Currently having problems with this mod and wetting the clay molds, tried every amount of liquid clay from 0L to 30L and nothing works

💬 floralratAuthor, Nov 18th 2023 at 10:57 PM

gndrneutralnoun - No worries! I've added screenshots from the handbook to help clarify :)  

Raccoon - Thanks! Bricks have been added for v1.1.0 :) Should be compatible with Bricklayers, though its not likely that it would interact with any of their mechanics 

💬 gndrneutralnoun, Nov 18th 2023 at 3:04 PM

A little more explanation of how casting works for those that are on the fence would be nice. How do I make the casts exactly? I'm guessing crafting grid with raw clay item (i.e. raw clay bowls) and mortar from the description, but I'm not sure; the usage of "raw shape" is confusing (do you have to clayform the cast itself???), as is using "cost" (could mean the way you actually craft it could be anything!). Also "placed in liquid clay" makes me think that I have to dump 10L of liquid clay as a liquid block then put the cast in that, but it could also mean putting it in a barrel that has liquid clay in it. I don't mean to get on your case, but the description is very confusing and unclear! While I understand you would probably be able to read the handbook when you already have the mod installed, I would like to be able to understand more what the mod is actually going to be doing before adding it.

💬 Raccoon, Nov 18th 2023 at 2:11 PM

I was hoping for such a mod for so long! Really like the casting models, do you plan to add "Bricks" to the castable items? (Did not install it yet)

Does Bricklayers work with your casts?

💬 floralratAuthor, Nov 18th 2023 at 3:47 AM

Coleroni - should be safe, won't directly corrupt anything. missing blocks (the molds if they are placed) will show as missing textures. destroy any barrels with missing fluids (liqud clay) as they will crash the game if you decide to try to remove some using a bucket. 

diegokilla - thanks! I plan to update once 1.19 releases as a solid build :) 

💬 Coleroni, Nov 16th 2023 at 10:49 PM

is this safe to add / remove from existing world? 

💬 diegokilla, Nov 16th 2023 at 9:39 PM

I've been waiting a mod that reduces the tedium of clayforming in a progression friendly way for a long time. Happy to see it finally realized! Kudos! I look forward to giving it a shot when it's 1.19 compatible.
