Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0-pre.1 - 1.21.6, outdated):
thatchexpanded_1.3.0.zip  1-click install

Contents of the mod:

  • Thatch can now replace some of the dry grass recipes, and that is:
    • cob
    • torch
    • basket
    • skep
    • reed chest
    • rush mat
  • Thatch can also now be used as a method of getting compost:
    • 64 thatch + 4 liters of water –20 days→ 16 compost

 

SINCE 1.2.0




The mod doesn't add anything new by itself (for now) so it should be future-proof (Until something changes with grid crafting ofc.)

This mod will remain simple, as I changed my mind in terms of adding new things to it.
This mod from now on will only add thatch recipes

added two small things
- craftable high fertility soil, ballanced in a way that it is worth more to search for it (recipe uses all types of fertilizers which have average of 30% of nutrients so crafting it by hand is at a loss of around 15% of those fertilizers);
- increased drop rate of thatch from 1 to 1-2 (avg 1.5 var .5)

Will this mod get updated to v22? It is my favorite Thatch mod!

if you combine this with the tule mod (it adds actual tule as an item but still lets you make thatch) you could (probably) live off tule for everything

Wonderous!

Master_Story, Heyoceama, Mr_Tarzan done, added rope recipe

phol , Jan 26th at 2:58 AM

Yehoria probably yea, but it'd need some time to get into texture working from my side, which isn't a possibility from me right now.

 

Yehoria, Jan 9th at 10:00 PM

Is it possible to make a mod that adds a separate thatch basket item etc??

Mr_Tarzan, Sep 21st 2025 at 5:55 PM

Please add making rope from thatch, and perhaps the option to convert thatch to grass (with a knife).

phol , Sep 1st 2025 at 3:01 PM

Master_Story That's a good idea

 

Heyoceama, Sep 1st 2025 at 12:10 AM

A simple but effective solution to tule being useless clutter that also makes sense. I second adding rope as an option.

Master_Story, Aug 31st 2025 at 6:36 PM

Any chance for you to add rope as a crafting recipe for thatch as well? Regardles, love this mod! No longer is thatch useless just after completing your roof 😂

Necromunger, Aug 30th 2025 at 5:41 PM

Oh wow i have thought about this so often.
Thankyou phol

Just the composting part is A+

DUCATISLO, Feb 17th 2025 at 4:27 PM

useful mod wow

Auro, Nov 14th 2024 at 5:07 PM

The compost recipe alone makes this mod a must have for me

Mr_Tarzan, Oct 8th 2024 at 7:01 PM

It would be cool if we could also craft thatch from grass and cattail in this mod, or a different kind of thatch roof block with those materials. I think making thatch roof blocks with only the tule plant is quite restrictive.

Thanks!, helps with the pack i'm trying to assemble for a group of friends of mine,
kinda want to just fill in the gaps that vanilla leaves an itch for, without modifying the core components of vanilla itself.

When i'll have some free time to spend on coding i'll get rid of stack sizes of peat and dry grass (?) and split the mod int thatch focused stuff only and the ones around peat and else DoktorVanBarron

DoktorVanBarron, May 16th 2024 at 5:55 PM

I love this, always wondered why ingame you were forced to use just cattails for basketry when both have been used historically.
that said, not a fan of the changed stack sizes, would prefer that to be in another mod entirely.
