You got some great ideas for the mod, but I also agree that they need to be seperated into seperate mods each.

Is there a standalone version for the sluice machine? i want it but i dont like a lot of the other additions

can you use iron door for firebox oven or do you always have to dig it open?

1.19.8 broke this i think. installing it and running an existing world results in a failure to load and says the game running elsewhere... but uninstalling mod fixes the issue. 

I can confirm that at least the Kiln works in 1.19.7.

pls 1.18.15

Useful stuff (unofficial)

I can confirm that this Mod is & was ....   very usefull.

Hope it can be brought back.

hello will this mod be updated to current version ? the panning part of it is really useful

Totally ignore this if you don't want to bother with it.

But if your looking for something useful to add …

I have been using the traveling merchant since I started my single player and I have only managed to trade with them 3 or 4 times.

Its so hard to catch them at home.

I could put the rug in my own home.

But one of the cool things about the mod is it gives you something else to build.

Designing a little house or traveling merchant stall for him.

Would it be possible to make it so when he arrives he rings a little bell I provide for him.

Or at least have a chat message pop up.

Heck if you can point me towards a good tutorial ill try to add it myself.

Can you fork traveling merchant? This pack has so many incompatibilities with other mods.

For those who want to play with the sluice, I forked that feature and made it compatible with newer versions. https://news.kalataka.ru/usefulstuffsluice

please seperate some of these mods. the scope of this mod currently is extremely large and conflicts with way too much.

How are you actually meant to get into the pottery kiln? Am I supposed to be required to punch a hole through the side every time I use it, or what?

Do you have the crash report Secular12 ?

I am having a strange crash with the tent bag? Whenever I try to pack it away the server crashes. It was working fine before, then a friend accidentally packed up one half of the tent, then we tried putting it back down to "refill" and it wouldn't work because not a clear ground So we rebuilt the tent and now anytime we try to pack up a tent with that bag the server crashes. Could the process of packing a part of the house corrupt something?

I really liked travelling merchants mod, I want nothing to do with the rest of these mods, especially the ones that add gameplay mechanics like air bar...

If you disable shield then the traders also doesnt work (it fails to resolve recipe for 'welcomemat')

Creating the chiseling bench consumes the tools. Is this intended? Or should they be marked in the recipes with "isTool: true"?

Thanks for awesome mod! Made ru translation for 2.3.2. - here if you need it

It seems that it was too late to find another suitable mod.
I have tried to make it Japanese, as it seems to be useful in the extremely cold region where I am playing.
Please use it if you like.😀

usefulstuff_v2.3.2 - ja.json

You can change tent height in the config.

Is ther a way to up the hight to 4 insted of three for the tent bag?

Thanks Ailin78,  I will add this in next update

Hello, this is a french translation for Useful Stuff v.2.2.3

fr.json

Good day ;)

I am very glad that you have updated the mod! thank you!❤️

Heya Jake, was wondering if there was a way to make this mod work on a dedicated server? Would love to have :)

Waiting for 1.16 update... cool mod

would love to see an update to this, or maybe have the pottery kiln thing seperated into its own mod lol; missing that in 1.16 :)

Correct "dependencies" and "authors": ["name"] in modinfo.json jakecool19

didn't realize I wasn't the only one that couldn't quench; thanks for fixing it :) 

The breathing mechanic(blue bar), is no longer in this mod, it was moved to another

Hi. When adding the mod to a game (v1.15.5) don't have a blue bar like on your video. Have Xskills with Xlib mod(v0.6.0-pre.9) added, so maybe there is a conflict with these two mods? If you have time please look at these two mods, maybe you find a solution.

hey, wanted to let you know that theres a conflict with this mod when adding the MCB: Stone Pickaxes mod. The game crashes upon trying to load into a world. 

Corroborating Xorberax's report: in 1.15.3, my game crashed when loading a world.  After uninstalling this mod, 1.15.3 ran properly.

On VS 1.15.3, the game crashes when loading a world due to a Harmony patch (mod works on 1.15.2 however):

Hi jakecool19. I used the pottery kiln from the latest mod update in 1.15.1

I placed some raw pottery in it. anvil mold, some Ingot molds, a prospecting pick mold, an axe mold and some bowls. After the process was done, i was just able to see the bowls while the others were invisible but still existent, i was not able to take them, just after breaking the boxes of the invisible stuff they suddenly pop up for looting. they were not lost after all :)

When packing a tent using the tent bag, everything inside the 7x3x7 area disappears correctly. However, when unpacking the tent, beds appear briefly then disappear. I am on the 1.15.0 rc 4 and using v2 of the mod.

Edit: Saving and reloading makes the bed appear again.

Okay Crafting Pickaxes work only if i turn off the new function for Pickaxes!
I think the Idea in generall isnt bad just should be improve the tools but should let them be crafted normal too maybe.
(A change in tooltips for crafting Pickaxes (Iron and higher) would be good too cuz it took long to figure out whats going on)

Old Message: "Since new update i cannot craft Iron Pickaxe anymore."

Firstly, thanks for your wonderful mod; secondly, which version do we need for the 'lantern on backpack' thing? I have the mod and that feature doesn't seem to work; and thirdly, I'll request you (please) to make video on how to deal with the tent (construction, etc).

In the attributes of the tent bag's json file there should be a field called size. If you change that to 4 that will increase the size of the tent to 9x4x9, but you will still have to pick the block underneath the center of the floor in order to pack properly. The lantern is a problem with the vanilla system that the tent uses, so I will report it to the devs and see what I can do about it from my end.

Would it be possible to make the Tent bag 7x4x7? it'd allow you to put a floor in, with a central block marker so that you don't acidentally trim off the roof of your yurt only if you click on a campfire you've marked the middle with.

Also, when unpacking the tent bag, any lantern will become copper lanterns with no lining, a fact that cost me a significant amount of gold...

The Homepage says that toolheads can be melted down. So to test, I placed a copper shovel head in the firepit. It says I need a crucible, which makes sense. However, I cannot put the toolhead in the crucible, after placing a crucible on the firepit. Am I missing something?

Edit: Can this recycling process be extended to full tools as well, with a return only viable if the tool is above 95% durability?

You can now clip a lantern on to a backpack. :)

Is it possible for you to make a wearable lantern on your belt slot or make a new lantern slot? I want to use the shield but I'd have to forgo a light source when I'm cave diving. Something similar to wearing lanterns like Outward or Dragon's Dogma. To balance it out you can put a debuff on speed, hunger consumption, or reduced light to make it more balanced or making some craftable belt that you need to access a belt lantern slot. Sorry for this unreasonable request but I think it's a good QoL addition that works well for your shields.

Ok, I just released a patch that should stop the crashes and reduce the debug info of the sluice.

The server crashes whenever somebody destroys one of the locust horde nests, since we got all locusts disabled on our server.

Getting a lot of logspam from the sluice when running without Primitive Survival. Keeps trying to give fishing hooks and earthworms.

Jake, loving the new glider you put in last night. Was testing around and in an area with moderate wind I was usually stalling out/going backwards. Normally wouldn't be a problem, except you mentioned in your code that at the moment wind seems to always blow in a +x direction. Would it be better to either just disable wind recognition for now, or make it so that depending on speed maybe you get a drop or a lift in altitude? 

Thank you guys so much! My hope is to figure out a way to use the terrain generator instead of the cave generator, as that would be a lot more efficient and would create a more continuous underground environment.

Dam you were not lying when you said crazy caves. Thanks for the info too, I wanted to install this on my next playthrough.

Amazing mod!

Woah, those caves ARE crazy!

There should be two screenshots, although they may not be showing up for you because the site is a wip. Its basically just makes the caves way bigger. You can enable it in the config, if you had the mod before this update, you can delete the config and run the game once to get it to regenerate. It is not very well tested or polished though so may wanna watch out if you use it. ;)

What are crazy caves update? Screenshots :) 

Yeah, good tip, thanks Jake.

I almost did fully automated panning

Most likely not, in fact, the original purpose of this mod was for a standalone of the climbing rope because people requested it from my floating islands mod. I do not want to keep making mods for single items and taking mod ids increasing the chance of a conflict, especially with the wonderful growth the modding community is experiencing right now. If you do not want the shield and rope you can put enabled:false in their configs and that will disable them.

I mean, as a mod by itself without the shields and rope.

The sluice is not for early game, especially since with it, and paired with mods like the Works it means a labor-free way of getting copper and other resources. Having the need for hoppers means that the player will have already gotten far in the copper age. Also gravel/sand in this game does not fall straight down like in other games. If the sluice takes from the bottom it will go sliding everywhere and even if it takes from the top there is still a limit to how high it can be built, which kinda goes against its purpose which is to automate panning.

Wdym? Sluice without hopper-above-dependence?

Any chance on the sluice by itself?

No, the hopper is necessary.

Is there a way to just drop sand on the top of sluice without any damn hoppers?

Thank you, fixed!

File is missing

Sluice is a very useful thing all the time
