MINIMISE MINING RELIANCE

This is a small modlet I modified based on the work of @Claymore. For those of us that dont like mining big holes in the ground.

 

This changes the above ground boulders in game to give you the ability to mine Coal, Potassium Nitrate Powder, Lead, Sand and Clay. This will also give you a rare chance of mining Silver, Gold and Dimond. Additionally gives the ability to mine a small amount of iron from terrestrial stone boulders.

All mining amounts have been increased in the latest version for all boulders, rocks, underground veins.

Dropped rocks (from mining, explosions ect) now give bags instead of disappearing.

 

Installation: Server Only

 

Version 1.21.1 (Released 07/08/2023):

• Increased Mined Amounts
• Dropped Rocks now gives bags instead of disappearing
• Seperated Boulders, Ores and Below Ground Veins to give more.

SUPPLY DROP BEACON
(W.I.P)

 

This mod adds a few different elements to the game with the result being a small beacon you can place that will spawn a loot drop, the parts required to make these are hard to find and expensive to make (I'm still working on balancing between usability and cost and would love feedback).

Adds the following items

• Supply Drop Beacon
• Supply Drop Beacon Chip - Scalvage by Wrenching Army/Military Trucks, Warehouses, Loot Cases, Control Panels, Computers and Monitors

Adds the folowing recipes

• Supply Drop Beacon

Unlocked

• By Level 1 Electrician.

I'm currently working on assets so at the moment the mod uses existing assets so is only Server only but once assets are added it will require Client and Server.

 

Installation: Server Only

 

Version: 1.21 (Released 07/08/2023):

ULTIMATE TOOLS

 

This adds two Ultimate Tools to your game, first is the Ultimate Harvesting Tool which combines the Axe, Pick Axe, Shovel, Crowbar and Knife into one, The second is the Ultimate Salvage Tool which combines the Nailgun and Impact Driver.

 

I have made this based on the original Entrenching Tool by robnunn10 and I have his permission to continue the mod.

 

I've made these as late game steel tools and are unlocked by level 80 Harvesting Toold and Level 55 Salvage Tools.
 
I'm using the Steel Axe as the mesh as I have no idea how to make custom meshes so if anyone wants to be helped that would be great.

ULTIMATE TOOL

 

This adds the Ultimate Tool to your game, This is an 3 in 1 tool combing the Axe, Shovel and Pick Axe. I have made this based on the original Entrenching Tool by robnunn10 and I have his permission to continue the mod.

 

I've made this as a late game steel tool but if people want lower version let me know and ill add them in.

 

I'm using the Steel Axe as the mesh as I have no idea how to make custom meshes so if anyone wants to be helped that would be great.

 

NOTE: It's throwing a small error in the console but as I'm new to modding I can't figure out why the error is occurring if someone wants to have a look it would be greatly appreciated.

ULTIMATE ROCK

This is a small modlet I modified based on the work of @Claymore.

 

This changes the boulders (ResourceStones) in game to give you a small chance at mining

Coal, Potassium Nitrate Powder, Lead, Sand and Clay
This also gives you a rare chance of mining 

Brass, Silver, Gold and Diamond

 

Also gives the ability to mine a small amount of iron from terrestrial stone boulders.

 

The percentages can be changed higher or lower to suit your gaming needs via the blocks.xml.

NOTE: This changes all boulders currently, If anyone has any tips on how to make the changes ONLY affect the ResourceStone Boulder, not the specialized boulders, they are very welcome to PM me so I can implement it.

 

ULTIMATE PROGRESSION

 

Just a small modlet that increases the number of skill points you get per level to 2 - Customizable by changing the XML file

Hi AaronG85

 

Thanks for sharing your mods.
Regarding the console error, it is due to the loot.xml file (Mod UltimateTool), you need to close this code:   <item name="agUltimateTool"

It should be like this:    <item name="agUltimateTool"/>

 

In the items.xml file, when I checked it, I realized that with the schematic to unlock the tool you also want to unlock the schematic, which cannot be done and will give you an error, you have to delete this line of code:

  <triggered_effect trigger="onSelfPrimaryActionEnd" action="ModifyCVar" cvar="ultimateToolSchematic" operation="set" value="1"/>

 

With these changes you should load without problems.
Regards

Thank you so much for your help

[Spicy Fresh]

Are these client side or server side?

 

Thanks in advance

[AaronG85]

To be honest I'm super new to modding and not exactly sure how to test. Maybe one of the more experienced modders can have a look and tell us @Gouki?

[Gouki]

Hi AaronG85 and Spicy Fresh

 

As I understand it, a mod is a server if it doesn't add any custom icon or asset.
In case you add them, you have to install the mods on the server and client side.
Two of AaronG85's mods are server side and UltimateTool's is server side and client side, because it has the tool icon.
Regards

[AaronG85]

Thanks so much for the explanation @Gouki and all your help.

Hi!

 

Is there any way of making this mod only count on certain levels? 

I just feel when using it, that I reach skillcaps too quickly. And figured maybe spacing the double points out, say each other level. Or every fifth level?

[AaronG85]

All updated for Alpha 21

I'm looking into how to do this as i feel the same way, once i have an answer ill update the mod.

Any chance you could change the magazine drops to half with the two skill up option? Please Or share if it's easy to do and I will make the changes. This would go a long way to bring back immersion for me.

There's a very nice model for an entrenchment tool you can use on Sketchfab for a custom model multitool. It's a free download model:

Unfortunately I'm still very very new to modding and haven't looked into the magazine drop rates, so at this stage no but if I get the chance to look into it happy to add it.

That is absolutely perfect but the dilemma I have is I have no idea how to incorporate that, will reach out to some modders and see what I can come up with 

[Dragonchampion]

Wanting to let you know, I got a level 6 multitool from a tier 2 quest reward. That's a bit OP; I went into your code to check and turns out that you're using an incorrect loot template for quests.

You have this as your code:
 

    <append xpath="lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='groupQuestTools']">
        <item name="a5UltimateMultiTool" loot_prob_template="GradeCLoot"/>
    </append>

groupQuestTools does not exist, and the template "GradeCLoot" also does not exist.

What you should have to add it naturally to do the game as a quest reward is:

 

    <append xpath="lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='groupQuestToolsT3']">
        <item name="a5UltimateMultiTool" loot_prob_template="QuestT3Prob"/>
    </append>

This will make it so that the multitool will only appear in tier 5-6+ quest rewards, and have the same probability and levels as an Auger, Chainsaw, or Nailgun.

If you want them to appear alongside Steel tools, then you need to simply replace the T3" in both the loot prob template and loot group to T2. T2 appear in tiers 3-4 quests.

Thanks so much for this, I've been sick the last few days and couldnt find where to put the tools int he code, I've pushed an update to the tool using your code, I've also given you credit on both the forums and NexusMods.

[AaronG85]

All Mods have been updated and added a new mod called Supply Drop Beacon that allows you to spawn Supply Drops.
