expandedmolds_balanced_1.1.0.zip  1-click install


This mod is signed off on by RowdyArt. Check with all mod authors before doing new lines of development.

 

First off, full credit to RowdyArt in every way about this mod. The only purpose of this one is to simplify the molds down to ingot molds, chute sections, and the hoop mold. This allows a smith to still feel like they have worth to a community village, and remove the hassle of some troublesome smith items, without being overwritten by pouring metal only. The progression follows the same manner Expanded Molds does; this allows a natural vanilla feel rather than diminishing game mechanics.

 

Please support the official release!

Thanks for the info, but I believe we found one of the culprits was ImmersiveLanterns causing the freeze with no crash log, we dont have xSkills so it definitely wasnt related to that, I'll check for old configs, but so far after removing that we hadn't had any issues with spontaneous freezes

Let me know if you found anything. Here have been some past offenders:

Having old mod configs when the mod that uses them actually has an updated version. #1 offender: Smithing Plus. Some other minor mods have also been noted.

There is definitely some weirdness with xSkills, though I have not merited crashes from anything in it particular. The xSkills interaction happens when other metalworking mods are installed. Seems to be exacerbated the more of these that are concurrently installed.

 

General good practices:

Make sure that no repeat mod versions are installed, both clients and server.

Clear the cache folder in the VintageStoryData directory.

Running 1.21.5, players on my server are reporting crashing when pouring metals into molds... Without a crash log, im going around trying to find any potential leads.

Yes a few molds from the original mod are trimmed to retain the need for blacksmithing. These include: Plate molds, chain ring molds, and nails and strips molds. This also helps the helve hammer hold its value as each of those crafts are best made starting off from a plate (or are the plate itself, of course!).

So what exacly is different in the lite version ? few mold recipes being removed ?

Hi folks,

 

I am in the process of updating this mod as RowdyArt has released their version. Remember this is their work and I encourage you to support them. Please leave any thank you's you have for the update on their page!

💬 Magmabit16, Aug 30th at 9:03 AM

I hope this either gets updated or someone tests it for 1.21 because I love this mod but I don't want to risk breaking my new world for it

💬 ElusiveEnigma , Jul 30th at 12:30 AM (modified Jul 30th at 12:30 AM)

Everyone,

 

1.21.0-rc.2 has a bug fix regarding modded molds. If you have previously been crashing while using the development release, then I encourage you to test it in the new release!

💬 ElusiveEnigma , Jun 18th at 7:51 PM

Hi, Aimli_.

 

I am glad you are enjoying the mod. Please know, many mod creators will use the pre-versions as a way to prepare for stable release versions, rather than re-release for pre-versions. I suggest if you would like to continue to use your mod list, that you may find staying on stable versions will be more conducive to that playstyle.

 

Expanded Molds - Lite is a fork of RowdyArt's Expanded Molds mod. It is very much a brain child of their work. If/when they decide to do an update, I will be sure to confer with them on an additional release for whichever version that may be.

 

I hope you enjoy your venture into the pre-development, testing build of Vintage Story and are able to provide much feedback to the dev team. 

💬 Aimli_, Jun 18th at 3:32 AM

Please update to 1.21.0-pre.1. Crashes in the new version.

💬 Magmabit16, Jun 9th at 10:41 PM

I like this. I did feel the molds for every single item was a bit much. Having just the molds for more ingot, and the annoying hoops and chutes is the perfect combo. Get's rid of the most tedious items to smith.

💬 QueerCoded, Jun 3rd at 7:34 AM

Awesome, thanks for the quick fix!

💬 ElusiveEnigma , Jun 3rd at 1:33 AM

QueerCoded

Message received. I will look into it!

The raw eight ingot mold core can not be crafted/clayformed
