Modding Tutorial and Help
this is a compilation I created of the games mod tutorial, others modding help, and my own edits. this is how I learned how to mod unreal world and make some custom content and hope it can help someone else. figured I should post it and also set up a section in the new forums for modding help and discussion, I wont be giving help (because I am less experienced than most) but I can try, and I'm sure many others will help if you post your wip mods or problems you run into.

Creating negative weight items to simulate sledges or transport vehicles
Here is a cheat to make "sledges" and "transport vehicles" until companion and animal hauling is developed more. I have read on the forum in an older post that it's on a todo list, but time will tell when it's done. And hauling logs piece by piece becomes really annoying at some point. Quick sample Quote .Bull harness. "Branch" [effort:1] [phys:hands,one-armed] [assist:1] *CARPENTRY* /1m/ [assist:2] Elaborate sample: Quote .Bull harness. "Branch" [effort:4] [phys:hands,one-armed] [assist:1] *CARPENTRY* /3h/ [assist:2] Notes 1. These work on animals only, because if you have negative weight you will tire EXTREMELY fast whatever you do. So you can use harnesses, sledges, whatever for your bulls, dogs (would be cool to have 6 dogs pulling a sledge  ), etc.2. If you use -3000 weight on an item and wear it, when you drop it your weight will still remain negative. So even if you create the items for your bulls, use -1000 at maximum, and if you want more, create 3 items, one at a time, moving each item on the bull as you create it. Enjoy! I really do, my bulls can carry logs now in my forestry business

Re: Be ready
Almost a year later.... Well... My very sincere congratulations on getting into NATO. Well done guys. Really. I wish we had the same chance. No matter, we will get there. April 04, 2023, 05:22:06 PM |

Re: Is someone stealing my poop?
The feces is getting absorbed into the ground and increasing the fertilisation of that bit of land. Even if you keep it in the cellar, it will happen. I'm not sure the logic of this happening in winter. The workaround I've found is to pack it onto an animal. May 22, 2024, 06:23:29 AM |

[Fixed - 3.84] a very large spring
Kari, a migrated character, is visiting a village which on the shore of a lake. The parts of the lake that overlap the village have been changed to a giant spring. I can provide a save if needed.

Re: Antlers and bones
I recently got a fine pair of Reindeer antlers and was wondering if there was any way to hang them to the walls of my cabin.

Light my shingle
A new light source is coming up as we'll be adding shingles to the game. A shingle, or päre (in finnish), is a thin oblong piece of (pine) wood which were burned to produce light, and to make baskets as well. As a light source you may think them as all wooden candle of a sort. It may feel like a just one small item for an adventurer in the dark cabin, but the required and atmospheric additions will make producing and using shingles a rather significant feature. Traditionally shingles were burnt in a shingle holder which is a stand that keeps the shingle in a good angle for proper lighting and burning. It may be that they were also sometimes just inserted between the logs in the wall - but one had to be understandably cautious without a proper holder. I don't know yet if a shingle holder will be required in the game but the idea is that you could leave a burning shingle in place eg. inside your cabin. And moreover, as the shingles don't burn very long we would want to feature automatic "replace a shingle" mechanism where a new shingle eg. from a pile next the burning one, would be lighted automatically if the character is beside the burning shingle when it fades out. This way you could light a shingle, put a pile of new ones beside it, and not need to worry about replacing the burning shingle in time even if the task you were doing would take a long time. Here's an image of a shingle in a simple single holder. More shingle news will be posted when the things have proceeded further. And in the background the transition to pausable crafting continues. Oddities with the pausable mechanics have been pleasantly scarce in the latest release so we're on good roll with it. These are future features - not yet functional in current version 3.84.2 May 31, 2024, 12:35:32 PM |

Summery summary
The summer and nightless nights have made it less attractive to sweat inside the development chambers, so I've been experiencing natural and seasonal downshifting periods with coding. Nevertheless, the new features are being pushed ahead slowly but steadily amid all the other intriguing summertime activities. So, a brief summery summary from the development chambers goes as follows: The work with the shingles is basically all done by now, except that there's one sidetracking idea that may delay wrapping up the shingle code. See, the shingles would actually need to be split from a block of pine wood, and as we know the tree species is not currently derived into lumber products. Well, I'd dearly would like to feature it now together with shingles but as it's somewhat complex addition we don't want to delay the next release too long either. So, this is being considered now, and yes, whenever the tree type will be featured in the lumber products it will naturally start affecting to many other crafts too. The pausable crafting transition naturally continues and it's now considered and prioritized as the main sector of work until all the crafts are prone to pausable mechanics. It won't be yet completed with the next release, but we'll be closer to the goal with every patch. When going through the all item definitions the bigger and lesser chances to some crafting recipes will follow. For example, as we're now getting shingles the concept and crafting of torches is being re-considered. The idea of featuring separate key-command for modded items has been brainstormed and very lightly sketched amid the ongoing conversation and is likely to be first featured as a "beta-feature" which can be used/tested at will alongside the current way of adding modded items. The current system of simple diy_*.txt snippet additions is going to stay as it is, and easy as it is. We're hopeful, but can't quite promise, that the separate modded item key-command will be featured in the release - it depends on the favourableness of the spirits of priorities. There are also several new arrow types being considered, eg. whistling arrow, together with introducing a separate ARROWMAKING skill. We're hopeful that these will be also feature in the next release - if the spirits be on our side. And then, a brief summery summary of the past weeks from outside the development chambers goes as follows:       Cheers! June 30, 2024, 08:30:41 PM |

Summarizing shingles, showcasing tree species based timber
Let's sum up and showcase a few recently mentioned crafting related ambitions with some screenshots. As mentioned earlier we'll be featuring a new light source, shingles. They are thin and flat oblong pieces of pine wood which were burnt to produce light - especially for lighting up houses during the dark time of the year. Shingles are lit by using [a]pply command. Once a shingle is burning you can drop and set it wherever the light is needed, or carry it with you. Traditionally shingles were burnt in a specific stand that kept them in a good angle for proper burning, but in the game the dropped burning shingles are imagined to be inserted between the wall logs or set firmly in place by some other means. One shingle burns for about 30 minutes in the game so for continuous lighting a new one needs to be lit before the previous one fades out. This sort of shingle replacement is done automatically if your character is located beside the burning shingle and there's a stack of new shingles nearby on the ground. You character then automatically replaces and lights a new shingle when necessary, and you don't need to worry about maintaining the lighting even if the task you were doing would take a long time.  Here a cabin is lighted up by two shingles burning in place. There's also a stack of shingles on the ground and if the character remains beside it a new shingle is automatically lit when the previous one fades out. Shingles can be crafted by the player character, and they may be needed in quite amounts during the dark season. An axe and a knife and suitable block of wood are needed for splitting the shingles. The preferred tree species is pine so our shingle splitting requirements will look like this.  A block of pine wood is required for splitting the shingles. Currently the felled trunks in the game are all of the same generic wood type, and tree species don't have much difference in crafting. But now that is going to chance as we'll be adding tree species property for big trunks and assorted timber products. At the first stage this addition only covers big trunks and slender tree trunks will remain generic, but in the future also the slender tree trunks will get the tree species property. So, upon felling big trees the tree species now gets derived into the produced tree trunk. As a result the tree trunks are now called as pine tree trunk, birch tree trunk or spruce tree tunk - depending on what species of tree was felled. There are also different tree trunk tile graphics for pine tree trunk, birch tree trunk and spruce tree trunk. The basic timber products made of big trunks eg. blocks and boards will now start to inherit the tree species resulting in eg. "pine boards" or "block of birch wood". And so the tree type will now start to affect to what type of wood is needed/preferred for crafting this or that. Some tree type preference adjustments based on this addition will be made to craftable items in the next version and it will continue to grow more detailed in the versions to follow.  Here our character has felled big spruce, pine and birch trees and they appear on the ground like this. The coding focus remains in the pausable crafting transition, but it also seems to grow more complex and comprehensive as we advance. These are future adjustments - not yet functional in current version 3.84.2 July 10, 2024, 02:45:23 PM |
