It might have just been a mistake on my part, I cannot remember Also, heads up for everyone, I'm afraid that I will not be able to continue work on this mod in the future. Life has become very busy for me and I don't foresee a time that I'll be able to consistently work on this or any other mods for Vintage Story. That said, if anyone is wishes to inherit Lazy Tweaks and keep it updated/bug free for the community you have my permission. I'm aware that there's a decent number of people who enjoy using it and I don't want to take that away from them for future versions of VS. Anyone who wishes to do so, let me know and I'll send you any files that you might need for it But from what I'm aware, all the files included in the mod can be used in Virtual Studio rather easily. Thanks everyone, ~ The Lazy Warlock

The compost curing uses the same item property as curing hides (IE using fat/oil), and as far as I'm aware there is actually no difference for any container it is put into. I have not actually looked into the code too much for this item property, but I'm pretty sure it works differently than say how food will deteriorate in that the rate is constant no matter where it's placed. But, I have not tested this myself and it might be worthwhile to make some custom code for it. I actually planned on making a block version as well that you could pile it into, and if you "turn" it by breaking it up at specific points it will speed up the curing, like how it's done IRL. But that's might be way too much work, as I'm not sure how much people actually use the compost

Yeah it's possible and something I plan on doing, it just requires some extra code to make a stackable block. For now, I just wanted a quick solution for it

I am aware, it will be fixed in a small update. And I will try to make a config file to disable some tweaks, not sure how to do it just yet so that might take a bit of time.

Is it part of the new steel smithing update? I actually only tested out steel ingots so I may have missed something. I have actually not had the time to thoroughly try out all the new features in the recent update.

Ah, yeah that will require a fix on my part, I forgot that those were added recently. I'll fix that in a small update.

Yes, there will still be a unified version as well.

Sometime this week, I plan on dissecting the mod into smaller "mini-mods" to try and help with compatibility and updating. I realize now that the mod is becoming too spread out to just be "tweaks" so I'd like for people to be able to choose what they want. A config is also an option, but I think having the smaller modules will be altogether better in the long run.

Alright folks, the experimental of Lazytweaks for VS 1.14+ is out. There may be some bugs I missed, but I made sure that at least the most important things worked. But, always be sure to backup your worlds and such before updating. Some things I still need to figure out (but aren't as necessary ATM): GUI transformations have been altered a bit in the recent update, and patches don't work well with them. So I need to figure it out. Need to re-add the damage tiers of spears. Also, some folks have asked for me to split the mod into modules. I will likely do this to help with updating since some things will rarely need to be changed, while others will need more attention. And here's the link: Lazytweaks 1.14+ As always, let me know if there's any issues. I'll do my best to squash anything that needs immediate attention. Thanks, ~The Lazy Warlock

Well then, looks like the stable is finally out, time to get to work in earnest

It sounds like a lot of folks are switching over to 1.14 even before the stable release, so I'm planning on working on a large update and bugfix this week. Will hopefully have a release by Tuesday. Thanks everyone for being so patient, I really appreciate it. ~ The Lazy Warlock

I want to be a lot more thorough with the update this time. For 1.13 I did not test out a lot of things I expected to work just fine, and before I even knew there were bugs 1.14 was right around the corner. If I'm lucky, it will only take a weekend to update since I will not be adding any new features for the moment.

Yah, I think combining it with peat or even charcoal dust could make it into a longer burning, higher temp version of peat (which is already useful IMO). I'll probably even give it a stackable block like peat. Maybe something like 8 straw + 1 peat + 1 charcoal dust = 4 briquettes. With a briquette burning ~ 50% longer than peat but not as hot as charcoal, making it ideal for cooking or firing things.

Hmm, I'm not sure if animals will eat straw, since it's pretty low in nutrients. That said, if others agree that they get way too much straw I can maybe find other uses for it. One I considered was making briquettes to at least make use of them as a fuel source.

Hi everyone, sorry for all the bugs looks like I released the current version without checking to see if everything still worked... Once a stable VS 1.14 release comes out I will do a more thorough update of Lazytweaks, making sure that all the reported issues are fixed. Until then please continue to report any other bugs so I can squash them all on release Thanks! ~ The Lazy Warlock

Life has been pretty busy for me lately, but I do plan on fixing it for the VS 1.14 update. VS just updates so often it's hard to keep up

Hi guys, these errors are news to me, but should be easy to fix. I'll see if I can have a quick update out sometime this weekend. Thanks, ~The Lazy Warlock

Sorry for the wait everyone! I appreciate everyone's patience, and I hope you're all doing well during these crazy times. Features of the new Lazytweaks update for Vintage Story version 1.3.+ v3.0.0 Updated to Vintage Story Version 1.3.+ Added Compost tweaks, including terra preta production and compost curing. Renamed "bony soil" to "ancient loam", along with description to fit recipe. Added universal fertilizer, made from a combination of items. Added grain to seed conversions. Added leather tanning tweaks, including variant pieces and bonuses for using shears. Can shear any stage into smaller pieces to make it easier to do batches. Added straw and straw based recipes, including skeps. Changed skeps to drop themselves when broken instead of components. Added powdered charcoal and sulfur, and changed gunpowder recipe to be more realistic. Added hay bed to wooden bed conversion recipe. Made it so you can make a firepit with peat bricks There's tons of changes for this update, which have been in the background for awhile while I've been testing them out. They haven't been stress-tested with the newest version of Vintage Story, so let me know if there's any issues. And, as usual make sure to back up your saves! The only thing that might change is iron spears. Also, I'm using google drive for links for the download since there's a pretty low data limit for posts. Let me know if there's any issues. Current version download: Lazytweaks V3.0.0 (seasons update) Thanks! ~ The Lazy Warlock

Oh, yeah it's about time for an update. Was waiting for a couple stable builds to come out first before I got around to it. Sorry to everyone who's had to wait, I'll try to get it out in the next couple days.

Oh wow, I didn't even know Vintage Story was on Steam now. Sorry you had issues, I'll add your post to the front page for anyone else who has issues.

Sorry for the cooked egg bug everybody. Here's the fixed version: Also included a few little changes to the lye recipes and ash/white potash fertilization rates to keep red potash the king of potassium fertilization. lazytweaks v1.9.1.zip

That's strange, I'll ask around and see if there's something specific I have to do for linux users. Does it crash, or does it simply not do anything?

My thoughts exactly

These are all great suggestions everyone! Thanks for taking the time to give such thorough input, I did a little more research on hay vs straw and I think straw will make for a very useful item. The next update will mostly just tweak the potash recipes Small fixes to expect for the next update: Fix log burn temperatures Increase Ash K fertilization to 6% Decrease White Potash fertilization to 45%, to make it still valuable but also inferior to mined (red) potash. Change lye recipe to 3:1 ash to water ratio. This will in turn make it a 6:1 ratio to make white potash, providing an overall 1.25X bonus to ash fertilization in the end product. Next big update will include crop tweaks: Allow farmland to be picked up as blocks, or maybe use a shovel to convert farmland back to soil (right click function?) Allowing grains to be converted to and from seeds by crafting Harvesting grain crops will produce straw, an alternative material for some recipes: A much needed alternative for skeps A straw hat, gotta be able to craft SOME kind of decorative wear Straw baskets (both hand and storage baskets) Alternative straw bedding for the in-game bed Adobe and Straw blocks, lighter/yellowish versions of the mudbrick and hay bale blocks. Place over farmland to prevent grass from growing Straw bedding for animals that will eventually deteriorate into "soiled" versions. Can be used to make saltpeter via the french method. The soiled straw can be combined into a "niter bed", which will slowly decompose over a year (maybe?) to make a "Calcified Niter Bed" Mixing with water will dissolve the calcium nitrate into "Niter Water" "filter" with White Potash in a barrel again to make Saltpeter. Hooray for antique chemistry! If/when a mechanical press is made briquettes could be produced from straw, though this might be a bit too "industrial" for VS. As far as later versions go I agree that making a cauldron shouldn't require iron. However, bronze (and likely copper) cauldrons like this existed, so maybe it can be made out of any viable sheet metal. I could have it also made from clay, but I do like the idea of having some sort of early/mid level progression requirement for a tool that could be used for other chemical brewing procedures. Alternatively, I could have the metal version give more space for larger batches and perhaps heat up faster.

Bugfix time! Thanks for testing out the new version everybody, I learned about some limitations with the current JSONs and had to make a workaround for the potash production. Here's the fixes and changes: Fixed a few lang issues with lye portions not being named correctly in the barrel. Fixed the texture crash with lye in a barrel. Fixed a crash when the player tries to pour out the contents of a bucket filled with lye. Changed Potash production by slowly evaporating liquid lye in a barrel Also there's a strange issue with the wood log tooltip and firepit recipe not showing the same values produced. The tooltip is the accurate amount of ash produced. Thanks everyone! let me know if any other problems crop up. lazytweaks v1.8.1.zip
