[Mod] Orewood Remake [orewood_reborn]

[Mod] Orewood Remake [orewood_reborn]

Postby ShallowDweller » Sat Jul 28, 2018 6:56 am

This mod is a rework of the Orewood mod by desvox. This remake was done because I'm a great procrastinator the original one did not recieve updates for a while and I needed to do something productive while procrastinating a way to make tin and other things renewable. And as my nickname suggests, I like to stay on or near the surface wich makes me wonder why on earth I keep adding all those underground content mods to every world I create.

ANYWAY, this mod adds a special wood node that can be placed near water to grow a special papyrus that drops specific mineral resources when broken.
Some types of wood (iron, gold, copper, tin and clay) can be cooked to make hotwood. Place hotwood near lava and save a lot of fuel by not having to smelt lumps into ingots or bricks.

WARNING: USING THIS MOD ALONG WITH A CHARCOAL MOD WILL MAKE HOTWOOD UNOBTAINABLE.
Disable any charcoal recipes in any mods you are using in order to get hotwood.

Do the special orewood nodes generate in trees that you grow yourself, from saplings?

Interesting mod. Note that this will get overpowered when it's combined together with technic and pipes.

No, only on world generation. I'll add that information to the 1st post.

I'll have to take a look at those two then... Do you think rebalancing will be needed for those who don't use technic and pipes as well or only for users of those mods?

ps. ignore the attached screenshots in this reply (you can see them all in the 1st post).

I think, coal, clay, lava and river water canes are OK (edit: and obsidian). For the others, I think, there could be other ores those could be obtained only from trees. These ores could be used for tools as well but they wouldn't completely replace the ores found underground. Another alternative is that there would be no canes and the resources would be obtained directly from orewood. Then the orewood could generate randomly also in newly planted trees.

I currently don't know how to make orewood spawn on planted trees, but I can do some research to find that out.
I will do some research on how to enable/disable the generation of specific nodes by setting a value to true or false to allow users to get rid of them if they want to, and hopefully make the setting available in-game (would this help?).
I'll add that to the to-do list.

As for adding surface-exclusive ores:
I currently have no plans of adding new tools/weapons to the game in the near future. Sorry about that...
However, if you plan on making a mod that adds new tools, I can make orewood_reborn generate their ores/ingots/crystals/lumps for you. Or at least help you with the code and/or textures if you don't want your mod to depend on other mods, since the original mod's code is under WTFPL and mine is under CC0, meaning that anyone is free to use it.

Yes, this will help. It is always easier to edit configuration than tweaking the mod by hand.

I have a different idea. There could be a function orewood_reborn.register_tree_ore(...) that could be used by other mods. Each mod could add its own tree ores.

Glad to know :)
*goes keep researching*

I'll research how to do this. It looks like the kind of thing that will be extremely useful when I add compatibility to other mods (I already added the compatibility.lua and the dofile, but the file is currently empty and I initialy screwed up when adding the nodes.lua and its dofile but I managed to make it work as it should).
ps. thanks for the feedback! :)

Sorry about the double post, but a new version is out! (Finaly!)
I'll add this image to the 1st post later:

(Besides, it is included in the zip)
Ps: sorry about the ugly new textures.

Re: [Mod] [UPDATE PENDING] Orewood Remake [orewood_reborn]

Postby ShallowDweller » Sat Mar 30, 2019 10:22 pm

Version 0.04 is complete! MWAHAHAHAHA!
But I need to stop being both a procrastinator and a noob
ANYWAY, untill I find a better place to upload the files, I'll leave them here in the forum post. (huge mess, I know...)
I'm currently searching an easy to use place for mod uploading...
They said gitwhatever is hard to learn and I'm too busy/lazy/impatient to learn how to use it
ENOUGH TALKING! I MUST ADD THE DOWNLOAD LINK TO THE 1st POST!

EDIT: should I merge that triple post into a single one?
