Re: [0.17] Adding Ore Hardness and Pickaxes back in
I think that would be the best place to stop the cursor-mining phase in the extant Stone Age mod. Good point. I'll keep it in mind when I update for 0.17. I hope you've had time to read my thought dump on what I had in mind when contemplating jumping into the deep end of modding with something I wo...

Re: [MOD 0.16] Stone Age (alpha)
- Sand is hard to see in the desert biome and there isn't enough of it. I've since removed sand entirely. - I like to play with Mountains (now Cross Mod), so code which turns any stone dropped from an entity break into jagged rock rather than stone, in lieu of not being able to mine large rocks at ...

Perhaps the modding documentation needs a laymen's intro to some basic programming terminology.

Re: [0.17] Adding Ore Hardness and Pickaxes back in
I'm going to see if I can ring up the StoneAge guy, since script-modding hand tools is already his schtick, and his mod already uses both, and these changes will probably mean starting over from scratch for him. Summon him and he shall apear ;). Anyway: I've decided to wait a while for 0.17 to come...

Re: [0.16] Get that cheddar
Yeah hadn't finished uploading it yet. Fixed now.
No wine. I briefly considered going further, like replacing pipes with swiss cheese, but for a prank this is enough effort I think.

Re: Fixing NPE - Full Burner Start
Imho anyone demanding burner powered assemblers should play at least the first 5 hours of Xander Mod . While not a perfect comparison due to increased recipe complexity it does offer a lengty burner-only starting phase. Perhaps AAI Industries would be a better proxy for the experience being describ...

Re: Fixing NPE - Full Burner Start
There's one not insignificant problem here, and that is a player ends up with a power plant that has nothing to power. You could unlock electric labs together with the steam engine, but keep the electric AM2 locked behind automation research. That way the player can set up electricity, add a lab an...

in 0.17, thanks to my work to create the fluid energy source, and Rseding's clean up and pulling it, you'll be able to make a mod of this! https://www.dropbox.com/s/btwniwjxz4hkcww/Screenshot%202018-09-09%2022.37.02.png?dl=0 Thanks for contributing that!

Re: Steam age
I really like the idea of a steam age mod. I imagine it would complement / replace the burner age, since there's a lot of overlap there. And then make the progression to electric as hard (but fun) as the progression from (say) electric to blue science. @nosports: if you're thinking of making this, I...

EDIT: Things that were not removed from the game egine are out of the way, so let's talk things that were removed - pickaxes :D So did any mod use the tool slot for anything iteresting? (Don't care about Diamond pickaxe with mining power 5, just change it to technology research bonus, as steel axe ...

Re: [MOD 0.16] Stone Age (alpha)
Version 0.0.2 released. Major changes The endgoal of the Stone Age is now to make an iron axe, rather than a copper axe. Typically the first thing I'd use a copper axe for was making an iron axe, so that didn't make much sense. Instead, you now need copper to make a copper hammer (see below). Achie...

Re: [REQUEST] Sand (and maybe clay) patches
I tried {r = 1, g = 0.8, b = 0.8} for the dune decal and it works pretty well.
This solves the immediate problem. I still wouldn't mind using original graphics in the long term, but this will do as a placeholder.
Thanks darkfrei!

Re: [REQUEST] Sand (and maybe clay) patches
I can add a tint to sprites as well as icons? Awesome!
Good call on that tint! I think I'll add a bit more red though: {r = 0.9, g = 0.5, b = 0.33}

That version with round corners is the HQ version, right? Is there a standard quality version, or should I just scale down the HQ version 50%?

[DONE] Sand (and maybe clay) patches
I'm working on a mod that adds two custom resources: sand and clay. As a placeholder, I've been using the sand-dune-decals and concrete-hole-decal from the base game. The concrete-hole-decal actually works pretty good for clay: though it's in the base game, it's not used anywhere else that I can see...
