Tree Tapping

Isn't waiting 7 in-game days just to get a single piece of resin from a tree such a drag? I couldn't agree more! 

This simple mod adds a tree tapping item that will greatly increase the amount of resin you acquire from each leaking block. Simply attach the tap kit to the leaking tree block, and then check back often to gather the resin that has accumulated.

Depending on how frequently you collect from the tree tapper, you'll get varying amounts of resin. The tapper has 4 different "states" it can be in, from empty to full. Below is a timetable to outline these phases:

Phase Duration of phase (hours) Total time to reach phase (hours) Total Resin amount
Empty 8 0 0
Intermediary 1 16 8 1
Intermediary 2 24 24 3
Full --- 48 6
*These values are subject to change as seen fit for balancing purposes.

rocketboy351 I tried doing this and I suppose as of the recent updates this is not working, now making both mods incompatible. Can't tap trees because of Ancient Tools again.

 

-Edit: I had to update the folders as for some reason it was not saving properly, and it does in fact still work. Thank you for this.

Can we get compatibility for Wild Farming Revival, in the mod it let's you cut the pine logs with a knife turning it into a leaking pine log,

with that you could make your own resin farm but other then that, I really like the mod.

This is very late to this discussion, but assuming that anyone is still having the issue with not being able to attach the tree tap to trees with ancient tools installed, I did find a work around. Mind you I really only went to the effort to figure it out for just pine trees, but in theory if you follow the same process, you should be able to attach it to another block of your choosing. If you open of the mods zip file and go all the way down in the assets folder and to the blocktypes folder and open the treetapper.json and change the allowed blocks in the behaviors section of the text document and add these additional allowed blocks

ancienttools:directionalresin-resin-pine-ud-south
ancienttools:directionalresin-resinharvested-pine-ud-south
ancienttools:directionalresin-resin-pine-ud-east
ancienttools:directionalresin-resinharvested-pine-ud-east
ancienttools:directionalresin-resin-pine-ud-west
ancienttools:directionalresin-resinharvested-pine-ud-west
ancienttools:directionalresin-resin-pine-ud-north
ancienttools:directionalresin-resinharvested-pine-ud-north

That fixes it and allows you to now attach them to the trees once again. It's a bit conveluted, and I don't make mods or anything. But it seems the difficulty in figuring out how to fix it was the fact that Ancient tools allows for multi-directional harvesting of the resin on the block, which required them to add a variant of the block with resin and without for each direction. It should look something like this.

{
  "code": "treetapper",
  "creativeinventory": { "general": ["*-empty-north"] },
  "entityClassByType": {
    "treetapper-empty-*": "Transient",
    "treetapper-third-*": "Transient",
    "treetapper-twothird-*": "Transient"
},
"behaviors": [
    {
      "name": "AttachRestricted",
      "properties": {
        "allowedBlocks": ["game:log-resin-*", "game:log-resinharvested-*", "ancienttools:directionalresin-resin-pine-ud-south", "ancienttools:directionalresin-resinharvested-pine-ud-south", "ancienttools:directionalresin-resin-pine-ud-east", "ancienttools:directionalresin-resinharvested-pine-ud-east", "ancienttools:directionalresin-resin-pine-ud-west", "ancienttools:directionalresin-resinharvested-pine-ud-west", "ancienttools:directionalresin-resin-pine-ud-north", "ancienttools:directionalresin-resinharvested-pine-ud-north"]
      }
    }

it would be nice to be able to configure how much resin is made every cycle. to me, 6 feels like way too much. base game is 1 every 7 days, this is 6 every 2. its a big jump, so itd be nice to be able to configure a middle ground.

until then, I'm not sure I'll use this due to the imbalance.

💬 Eoin_Lynne, Feb 12th at 2:57 PM

AngryOscar No need for an update, it still works just fine.

💬 AngryOscar, Feb 2nd at 6:34 AM

1.20?

The
mod does not work with resin from modified logs. I would like compatibility.

This is a very cool mod but want to leave a note that the "check back often" is essential and has specific times.

You have to load the chunk again for the next timer to start and start ticking.

Honestly resin is usually so far from my base the result is that that while I could conceivably get double the resin in roughly the same time in practice, what actually happens is I show up a month later for the same 1 I woulda got.

I'm tempted to dig into this and change it to be one 144 hour timer to drop six but my first alternative I'm trying is pairing this with dana tweaks letting trees you plant have resin and making my own forest near my compound. IF my luck with this is bad or I can't even remember to go for a walk int he woods occasionally I might look into altering this for my own use or just giving up and placing a wall of resin logs beside my bedroom in creative lol.

💬 Nedrakus, Jul 12th 2024 at 4:26 PM

Great mod, thanks.  Works for 1.19.8.

May I propose 2 suggestions?  The tree tapping kit icon ffrom the inventory is a bit small.  Also, could we have a configurable total resin amount so it can be changed from 6 resins every 48 hours to say 3 resins or whatever else people want (with an upper limit of 6 or 10, something not too ridiculously cheaty).  Cheers if you can make those happen!

💬 Mrozak, Jun 25th 2024 at 2:57 PM

Works fine for me on 1.19.8.

💬 BTubbs200, Jun 8th 2024 at 9:00 PM

Everything works fine for me on 1.19.7.

💬 LunaGore, May 19th 2024 at 3:13 PM

Does not work with 1.19.8, getting a "cannot place this block here" message on all parts of the tree including the leaking block.

💬 Bruco, Jan 3rd 2024 at 4:47 AM

Nevermind, I originally placed the tapper on the log with resin showing. I came back later and nothing. I Harvested the resin node the tapper was on since I still needed resin, but left the bucket up. When I came back next time, to grab the single resin again, this time thinking ill just have to break down that bucket, low and bohold, the Bucket, or should I say buckets, as its a rare two node tree, were both full :D Hope that helps anyone.

💬 TheSapphicSeas, Nov 5th 2023 at 12:49 PM

this mod seems to no longer work

💬 concrete_car, Aug 20th 2023 at 8:18 PM

Is there a config file that lets me modify the values?

💬 BavarianViking, May 23rd 2023 at 12:10 PM

works with 1.18.3. Haven't tested 1.18.5

 

💬 Shion, May 5th 2023 at 8:15 PM

Got info that it doesn't work as stable on 1.18.2-rc.1.

💬 CyberVic, Apr 24th 2023 at 9:24 PM

Confirmed, this mod works just fine in 1.18.

But... what would be really nice is if this mod worked well with Ancient Tools. Would be nice to be able to scrape a tree with Ancient Tools, then place a bucket on it. I recently updated to include Ancient Tools, which I used in 1.17, but now I can't place buckets on trees because I think there is an incompatability there.

💬 narkler, Apr 23rd 2023 at 9:29 PM

1.18 please :D

💬 Zocker_KekZi, Apr 11th 2023 at 7:29 AM

Come it out for 1.18 rc2 ? and some next patches? ... it will be nice

 
💬 JACO1989, Feb 24th 2023 at 1:39 PM

It's already working, I don't know what the ruling was, but it gave me 3 pieces after 2/3 days in the game.

💬 ChaOS25 , Feb 23rd 2023 at 6:36 PM

JACO1989 yeah I'm not sure what happens if you modify how time passes on your server.

💬 ChaOS25 , Feb 23rd 2023 at 6:35 PM

Edel_Recke there probably is, this mod is just focused on resin though.

💬 JACO1989, Feb 23rd 2023 at 6:36 AM

I don't know if I understand the table correctly, but 48 hours have passed in the game and I still had 1 resin. unless it's the fault of extending the number of days per month.

 

first I tested on a new map and it worked but I don't remember if I didn't reduce the number of days in the month there.

 

but mod, very useful...

💬 BavarianViking, Feb 22nd 2023 at 9:00 AM

Isn't there a mod using "siryp taps" ? I don't know the name of the mod, but "Bannerdonia Server" uses them. I saw, you can tap every kind of tree...

Edit: I searched in the server mod folder: It's the  "A Culinary Artillery" mod

 

💬 ChaOS25 , Feb 22nd 2023 at 5:33 AM

Gizmagus yw! Hoping it's useful for a lot of players.

💬 Gizmagus, Feb 22nd 2023 at 1:02 AM

I needed this Thank You!!
