No worries, good luck with your thesis! The freedom in time can be nice, but don't postpone and procrastinate. Nearly ruined my own thesis thinking I could rush it at the end.  

DatVegan I see what you mean, I think maybe in the future. For now I am focusing on my college thesis so I will likely not be doing mods until the next year.

I see that there is compat with cordage from Primitive Survival in that in can add fiber  to rope crafting. But is it maybe possible to make the cordage crafting a different possibility (F key on  keyboard)? Similar to how you select prospecting, the clicking F while holding fibers and looking at a rock will make theplayer choose between rope and cordage. Crafting cordage takes time too, after all, similar to rope.

I opened a PR on Gitlab to add a translation :)

Rebuildable Bloomery, AND Immersive Rope Crafting both are crazy good mods! You are cooking Actual_Dio Thank you for making them!

Hello! Wonderful mod for immersion, love it.

There seems to be an incompatibility with Pickup Artist though, as fibers cannot be added to any loose stones. But perhaps this is on Pickup Artist's end and not yours! I'd gladly accept any solution if you could think of any otherwise! In any case, love the concept <3

Actual_Dio is have checked once again, and it seems i just fumbled as in creative the text that one needs two hands to tie rope did not happen somehow. All is well!

Dio this mod is so small and so immersive, mad props. 10/10

egoanditspwn thanks for the heads up Ill see what I can do

when adding grass 5 at a time, it accepts amounts less than 5 while still adding 5 grass worth of fiber.

BraniyaKz Theres already compatibility with cordage but I dont think wool will ever be added, I dont feel like it makes sense.

Is there planned compatibility/addons for cordage/wool&more?

Re: 1.0.7: Made it so you can add more than 32 fiber to each rope crafting block so its easier to bulk craft rope

Extremely welcome change!

DatVegan I use this with Toolsmith and have had no problems. Maybe another mod is interfering?

I am kind of surpised that you did not go for stick in off hand while right clicking on fiber in hotbar.

However I guess there would not be the progression and result on the ground that way.

DatVegan I tested it myself with toolsmith and I have had no issues whatsoever so without more info I dont really know how to help you

Love me some more immersive in-world crafting! Is this mod incompatible with toolsmith? Noticed some comment talking about not being able to add fiber materials to the stone, and I too have the issue. It does register as a valid fiber material, but just doesn't add anything. Toolsmith is installed. Hope you can help.

Actual_Dio Dude! You were under no obligation to do this so I greatly appreciate you were willing to set that up. Thanks :D

TrainDoc Ive added a link to the source code now

I'm really loving this mod! It fits so well into the existing crafting systems. Looking forward to the animations!

TrainDoc I completely understand that and I am hoping to publish them online eventually, it just hasnt been a priority for me.

It's a good mod! Especially good when cattails are dry around you.

Actual_Dio love your mods man, but unfortunately I can't use them on a server I run because I we don't allow mods that we can't view the source code of for safety and security reasons. If you ever publish them to github or gitlab please let me know! Thanks for making some cool mods. Even if they seem pretty minor they are quite fun and really enhance my experience.

Kaschperle I pushed an update that should fix that bug, thanks for letting me know

The_Revisionist It changes the amount of work actions needed to complete a rope, by default its 16 and it can be 32, 16, 8 or 4. If you put a value that isnt one of those it will default to 16.

What does "totalSectionsPerRope" do in the config? I can't seem to notice any difference if I change its value.

Heyho just wanted to drop it there that this mod is crashing with my 264 mods list :D

I was able to start the rope with a piece of thatch, but it's not letting me add anything to it, saying everything I try is 'not a valid source of fiber". This is also occuring with cattails, cordage (from primitive survival), thatch, dry grass, flax fibers, etc. I eagerly await a resolution, as I really like the idea of this mod! In the meantime, my rope will sit unfinished U_U

I am running Toolsmith as well, and having the issue 

having similar issue however its toolsmith as it changes alot of the fibre materials to also be labelled as tool bindings i think thats where this conflict lies, have any of you also got toolsmith installed?

The_Revisionist Ill try to push a fix for it today if possible

Coda_Vanistok The fiber overflow idea is actually an interesting one, Ill experiment with that one and see how it works.

The thought process behind the fiber source values was to make it less expensive than grid crafting while also giving a relatively fair amount of fiber. Of course this was all based on my personal opinion, but I can see the points you are making in the balance of that and I might test some stuff.

And yeah the name is because of the mod id I gave it when I started and then I thought of a better name lol

Also I have already added compatibility with primitive survival, cordage counts for 16 fiber to prevent expliots of infinite duplication in cutting rope into cordage and turning it back to rope. I also added compatibility with the fiber plants of the Floral Zones series of mods.

Finally Im glad you enjoyed my mod and I hope you can get more fun out of it in the future as well 😊

Actual_Dio So what was the thought process behind the variations in fiber sources? While I'm glad 2 vines don't make a whole rope, it both feels like too much, yet not enough for balancing against the vanilla need for 3, and even worse when you are using a mod like primitive survival, where a single rope breaks down into 2 cordage and vice versa. I know you don't have mod compatibility in store yet, but I do have some suggestions from experience using the mod.

- Allow limited fiber overflow, even though it takes 32 fibers to make a rope, it'd be nice if the overflow was allowed up to about 40-44 out of 32. This would allow you to comfortably make a rope from 3 vines at first, but make the following ones cheaper since they get a head start with the bonus fiber amount, which feels far more rewarding and would setup a good integration standard for other fiber sources from mods.

- Change the base value of vines and cattails down, and increase the base value of flax fibers. Even if flax fiber is smaller than thatch, I feel that having it being so cheap really detracts from how valuable it is in other cases. I can't find even an emergency situation where someone's gonna opt to use a flax fiber over a single piece of grass. It's a nitpick, but a light one. Thankfully your config does have the values exposed, I did see you're working on making it generate it's config to the modconfig folder, excited to see that.

- Change the name of the file, or change the name of the mod, if not both "Immersive ropes" and "manualrope" at the same time is a bit silly.

- Keep this up, we need more mods like this, this is an awesome addition and has done wonders to help me get friends interested in how we've made ropes and cordage and everything in the past. Hearing them ask "What does a rock have to do with making a rope?" was a fun conversation to have.

Actual_Dio Thanks for implementing my suggestions!

Unfortunately, as others already mentioned, I think there's a bug in the new version. No matter which of the eligible materials you try it with, it says "this item is not a valid source of fiber".

Attempting to add wild vine to the rope as fiber is currently broken - it is trying to place the vine onto the rope block rather than adding it to the crafting

I'm running with this mod and the Art of Growing (unofficial patch) which modifies Dry Grass, so it's not letting me use dry grass to make ropes. Not a huge deal but wanted to bring it up 

You can use the dry grass to start the rope, but once it has been started it is not allowing me to use more dry grass to add to it, giving the message "This item is not a valid source of fiber"

Running into what I assume is a bug on 1.21.1 (Dedicated server)

Sometimes when crafting a rope, when you complete the work stage instead of getting a completed rope and a stone it turns the stone into a normal granite stone. (I'm using sandstone) When breaking that granite stone you get an incomplete rope. Placing that back on the ground gives you an incomplete rope with 0 fiber. Sometimes I have to redo it 2-3 times before it actually finishes the rope. 

Actual_Dio Of course, no worries, thanks for putting it on your to do list :)

The_Revisionist I think those are all very good points and Ill try to add that when I can. Im currently working on adding animations to it slowly so Im gonna take a while to get around to it, but I wil make sure I get to it eventually

Brilliant mod, super immersive!

Would it be possible to remove the handbook grid recipe for the rope if it's disabled via the config? Perhaps you could also add some info to the handbook entry for rope about how to make it the new way.
Related to this, currently if the grid recipe is disabled on the server, for people joining if they put the ingredients in the grid (e.g. cattails), the rope shows up for a split second in the ouput spot before it disappears.

Also, would you be able to update the mod so that the config file generates in the ModConfig folder (outside the mod zip)?

Farlander111 Thats a great idea I will work on that and push an update as soon as I can

This just works!

Actual_Dio PS could you add a red notification informing the player that they need more fibers or must use off hand to craft one coil of rope? 

Actual_Dio works now, thank you!. This is huge, fixed even unfinished rope

str1k6r Sorry there was a small mistake in my previous update, should be fixed now

I get stack on work 15/16 fiber 2/2, and cannot finish the rope. destroying it with left click hold results in all fiber loss

is there a fix to this behaviour? default config, didn't change anything

Dusty926 Thank for the praise, Im glad you enjoy my mods 😊

Right now Im working on overhauling the twine and weaving mechanics to be more immersive and require proper tools like a drop spindle, a heckling board to process flax stems into fiber, hand and drum carders for dealing with wool and cotton, spinning wheels and even looms, possibly alloying weaving of patterns.

Faeldray Im currently working on trying to fix these issues, I think its a matter of server-client sync not being quite right so Im trying to make it better at the moment.

I do agree with you about the permanent rock item and Ill try to see what I can setup with that.

Amazing mod. Thanks so much for this!

I've been playing around with this mod and I absolutely love it, fantastic job! I do have a few pieces of feedback that I hope you don't mind me giving:

• Can there be a "permanent" version of the loose stone (as in something you need to break to pick it up)? Maybe like a stick you can plant in the ground or a larger rock. I only ask because I keep picking up the loose stone when I finish the craft and need to keep putting it back down.
• Sometimes when I'm braiding, the rope will visually progress and then instantly go back a stage. This was on single player so I don't think it's lag.
• Sometimes when I finish crafting, the rope braid reverts back to a loose stone but without giving me the rope end product. If I break the stone, I get an unfinished rope braid item but when I place it back down, I've lost all fiber and progress. It might be related to the above issue, I'm not sure.
• I discovered a slight "cheat" while using vines. It's done by adding 1 vine, braiding as far as I can, adding another vine, and then braiding again. I should need 2 more fiber but I get a completed rope instead. I don't know if this is because it's rouding up or what.

Absolutely love this as well as the rebuildable bloomeries. Anything that can be done in world, should be done in world.

I also really like these as more primitive, manual methods. Using the grid is faster, but it's sometimes more fun to go the inefficient route in favor of convenience (using sources other than vine) or immersion.
It makes me really curious to see what else you could do for other early game/alternative methods of crafting or building. Charcoal pits/pit kilns are a subject I think worth looking at (I have my own idea, but no code prowess 😭), but ultimately I'm super interested to see what you have next.

This and the bloomeries mod have become instant add and keeps to my save, thank you for your incredible work!

I've run into the same issue when using vines to craft the ropes. Cattail works fine. Need to try other materials when i get a chance

Sianks That tells me something weird happened with the Block Entity and it returned to default... Ill see if I can figure out what happened. 

The glitchiness is the server and the client fighting with updates, so it looks jank, but Im working on a fix for it soonish

The rock does spawn on the ground, but since you are usually right clicking when it happens, you automatically pick it up.

So, I've placed Sandstone stone on the ground, I held Veins in my hand and clicked RMB few times on the stone, obviously it started adding up fibers, after fibers were full I choosed Empty Hand and started braiding the rope, I saw Sandstone stone inside of the rope and the rope itself as im braiding it, altho it was kind of glitchy for me, like a sector of line is finished then it disapears, then its finished again and moves onto next one, later i realised you can Sit down and everything becomes smooth and quicker.

Either way, i was doing it while standing up, at the end of everything, instead of getting Rope and Stone to inverntory, it just disapeard (you know, like when you place Crock, or tools on the floor and they disapear but they are still there, you just need to pick them up), something like that happened to me, I couldnt pick up this rope from floor so i decided to break it with hands, and, I got it! Got the rope and Granite stone right to the inverntory.

Thats another thing, are stones supposed to go to inventory or stay on the groud?

Also, i was play with 100 mods so that's why something might of went wrong, altho no mods were conflicting Immersive Rope, but its always an option right?

Antar I wanted to make it as vannila friendly as possible so that if people have it on their servers the players can choose to interact with it or not, and I made it so theres a clear advantage to using it, while allowing you to still use the grid recipe if you simply dont have the time to braid it manually and have an excess of cattails.

Sianks That is a weird bug... Could you describe exactly what you did so I can try to replicate it? Did the center rock in the unfinished rope have a sandstone texture? The fact it gave you granite means the rock type wasnt properly initialized and reverted to the default, so if it had the sandstone texture and still didnt initialize correctly that would be very bizarre...

I'm surprised disabling the grid recipes aren't on by default, since I feel like the people who would rather use the grid wouldn't download the mod anyway.
But either way, this is another great gridless crafting mod along with your amazing Bloomery one. You are releasing hit after hit, so you're definitely a modder to keep an eye on!

got a bug where I was braidng the rope using Sandstone stone, when finished, rope disapeared from the ground but it was still there so I just destroyed with hand, got finished rope back and Granite Stone... funny bug but yeah

This is so Cool!

Narg Thanks for the heads up, I think I left it at 32 after testing it, Ill push an update really quick to make it 16 again.

Actual_Dio hey, description says default is 16 braiding actions, but when I downloaded this and start a world to test, it defaulted to 32. obviously I can go and config this, but I figured you'd want to change one of these so they match.

This is a wonderful concept. It'd be an excellent addition to primitive survival as well with their use of cordage.

Good idea ! More immersion ^^
