Tested it with this: and 4 rows in the png.

=> No success

EDIT: same result with "axial symmetric"

mayby they are not meant to be rotable. I saved game, loaded game and noticed that orientation of hitboxes had change -> orientation was not saved.

Yes, but why then give them the ability to be rotable? You cant rotate furnaces and chests for example (ok rotate a chest wont change anything because they are squares).

you can rotate them, but yea it does not matter unless you edit the hitbox. and furnaces for example also return default orientation after loading a game.

edit: you would have to ask from kovarex why, But I would guess they just use same tool/function for all player building.

Nah... I should doublecheck everything before I write anything...

I said that chests and furnaces can be rotated, because I read it on the Wiki, there it says: "Entities that are not rotatable naturally (like chest or furnace) can't be set to be rotable. " (It is part of the setrotable()- function explanation)

So I thought, this includes only chests and furnaces, not assembling-machines. Then I made a quick test and changed the furnace collissionbox and saw that you actually can rotate furnaces ( Of course you wont notice this because the texture wont change and the collision box is normally a square).

For me the problem is "solved" now. I will try to change the collisonbox back into a square and hope for multiple directions for buildings or the possibilty to set a rotatable-variable in the *.json files to false/true in the future.

EDIT: What do you think is the better solution: changing the collisionbox into a square that wont cover the whole building OR expand the building so it will have a square-sized ground-plan?

I just updated the mod to 0.3.0

I didnt add new content, only ported it to the new mod-mechanics to come in touch with it.

btw. the mod also includes fertilizer, but I didnt figured out a good way to produce it, yet. So you only have access to it via the console.
Any ideas for a fertilizer-production-line are welcome

horses that poop it hahaha

Or other alien-animal, but I think it wont move, even if it is a neutral unit.

Finally got to try it out. Great work so far!

Quick bug report: The picture in your first post looks pretty normal, but the cokery seems to take up twice the amount of actual space for me (how I cant walk closer or build the cokeries closer together):


And you dont have a 2nd sprite for turning the cokery yet, right?

Also, what is cokecoal there for?

crafting_categories= { "crafting" }, is for player-craftable.

you can create a category to make them only craftable by some assembly-machines, by aadding the name of ur category to the crafting-categories and using crafting_categories={"thename"}, or smelting_categories={"thename"} if it is a furnace-like entity

Yes and no...
I just "translated" the mod from 0.2.10 to 0.3.0, so I didnt change anything.
The problem isnt the missing sprite.The problem is that the sprite wont change if you hit the rotate-button,like steamengine does. Actually the Cokery is a assembly-building, but because the normal assembling bulding have a square-size-footprint (exactly a square-size-collision-box) you wont notice that it is rotating.

I hadnt much freetime to play around to see what is possible with the new update, but I guess I cant change that...
Anyway simple solution is to hit the rotate-button again and everthing should be fine => selection and collision-box should be the same again.

I did try the mod, but the tree farm doesn't work for me. (Trees are growing indefinitely and none of these are mined)

Are you sure?
I know what you mean ,but the behaviour is very random.
But you can go to the control.lua and change:
"if glob.tickCount % 600 == 0 and glob.fieldcount ~= 0 then"
to glob.tickCount%60 (so the schript called every sec) and cheat in fertilizer (using game.player.character.insert...) and insert it into the fields inv.
Its still random, but the trees should be harvest more often now.

So to gain wood should be a very rare case, that was the idea.

I think the mod makes more sense if you can use it somewhat reliable as a source. How rare is it atm? On average, how many wood do you get in 10 minutes?

Ok I just uploaded a new version.
The output was way too low.
A field produces approx. 0.8 wood per minute, now.

Needs update for .3.2
(which seems to use a number other than 3.2 to qualify a mod as loadable?)

There are no mod compatibility changes from 0.3.0 to 0.3.2 (those are just bug fixes) so no need to update the mod.

Figured out the problem.
He changed the value to be 4.2 at some point, and I tried fixing it to be 0.3.2 (which is also wrong)
Just changed it to plain 3.2 and loaded.

my trees arent getting chopped down... i downloaded the latest version
in the control.lua everything seems to be fine...

Sorry for that. The problem was that I changed the mod-version from 0.4 to 0.4.1, but the version have to be in the format "x.y".
So changing the it back to 0.4 in the info.json should solve the problem.

Are you using the mod in a new game or with an old save?
If last: try a save-exit-load-cycle. I tested this with an old 0.2.10 savegame and the fields worked correctly then.
I really dont know whats the problem here. First I thought some variables/ tables didnt loaded correctly, but in that case trees shouldnt spawn as well. Very very strange...

do you know any way of fixing it (using version 0.3.0 new world, no 2.10 save)
