Hi, thanks for both of the mods!
I wanted to ask - why did you choose to use iron exclusively for the recipe?
From a gameplay perspective, I really like the idea of using water wheels as an early mechanical option before gaining access to windmills, since those require a significant amount of flax and, unless you’re building them fully uncovered - additional materials as well.
IRL-wise, iron is highly prone to rust and corrosion, so making the wheel out of it - and especially making it the only material for the wheel - feels a bit odd.
I personally patched the recipe file with
```json
"code": "game:metalnailsandstrips-*",
"allowedVariants": ["tinbronze", "bismuthbronze", "blackbronze"],
```
and
```json
"code": "game:metalplate-*",
"allowedVariants": ["tinbronze", "bismuthbronze", "blackbronze"],
```
Damn
Wheel spins the wrong way :(
Anyone know if it works with 1.21.1? since it is marked as Outdated.
sneeze, will you update the Guilds mod? its quite nice and id love to see it back up and working
Mrozak based on my own testing it seems to work fine on 1.21.0
Is there a plan to update this for 1.21.0?
Pretty please, say yes :)
Whenever I disconnect the power system from a helve hammer (in my case, probably any other mechanical power consumer) the entire axle assembly starting from the water wheel stops spinning. I need to break the first axle that connects into the waterwheel and reconnect it. If you could check into that, or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I placed it in the river, it is attached to axles,. the wheel is not spining, neither is the axles.
I dont see what could be wrong.? Any ideas?
I just figured it out. The axle was in the water, and that causes it to not work. Axle has to be above water.. ALL HAPPY! :)
i wish this worked with rivergen
Mod requires Rivers mod.
Would be nice if that could be noted in the description before you download it.
Okay,someone was paying attention to my lamentations.
Does this mod have any prerequisites? If so,what are they? If it's the Rivers mod,will RiverGen work? Can I just use water flowing from a bucket?
Amazing idea! Love it!
This is incredible, I’ve been waiting for this mod for so long!!
Bless you. Finally we have an option that isn't the medieval expansion mod.
