Ancient Tools

[vale fractal]

It looks all correct

Let me build you a version of the mod with the attribute and write a patch that targets Tawhai and see what happens?

[knotty dock]

Go for it

[vale fractal]

It worked on my end with just two of the Floral mods, and Ancient Tools 😄

I didn't get all the mods in your mysterious crash there. Would hope that this is somehow also the cause of that

[knotty dock]

With the patch or without?

[vale fractal]

This is with the patch

[knotty dock]

Lemme take a crack at it. It didn't seem to be a mod conflict going on but it could be

If it is I might know which one it is

[vale fractal]

This only has a patch set up for Tawhai, it's in assets/ancienttools/patches/compatibility/floralzonesneozeylandicregion

[knotty dock]

I'll give it a singleplayer and a multiplayer check real quick, might be 15-20 minutes total

[vale fractal]

Kay!

[knotty dock]

singleplayer: patch works as intended, no issues. Seems like because the drops were made into the vanilla support beams, it couldn't find the modded ones since it's in the floralzonesetc domain and was causing all kinds of funky fun. Same in multiplayer, no conflict

[vale fractal]

Beautiful. Sorry about that, I didn't think of the compatibility consequences of changing that 😅

[knotty dock]

Lemme take a look at the patch and I'll get it implemented before the next floral zones update

[vale fractal]

Sounds good! I'll get a version with the fix on my end up now, that way it's ready when folks update their Floral Zones mods

[knotty dock]

Oh, we were gonna add it into the built in compat patches

That way when a new FZ series comes out it's hot and ready, and you don't have to do anything else

[vale fractal]

\o/

[fickle fjord]

Would it be possible for debarked logs to only have the selection boxes for wedges only be visible with wedges in hand? I use debarked logs for building and they are a bit annoying tbh

[vale fractal]

The selection boxes are only viewable if the player has an empty hand, is holding a wedge, or is holding a hammer/mallet. The empty hand selection box is necessary as it's possible for players to pull out wedges and use them again. Also, I don't want to hold references to the block entity within the block behaviour that controls the selection boxes, so determining whether it's empty is out of the question.

I can offer you a compromise. I can provide a config variable that can be changed to disable the empty hand selection boxes if that works for you?

[delicate moss]

Oh yes yes, I should have noted that I am placing brand new sack blocks after updating the config and fully restarting my game/server.

[vale fractal]

Huuuuh. It's on the to-fix list, thank you!

[delicate moss]

No rush! Thank you for sharing your cool mod to the world \o/

[celest geyser]

My sacks have turned to mystery blocks after this update.

[vale fractal]

Which version did you update from, and are all other blocks within the mod present?

[celest geyser]

I'm still in 1.20.4, but updated to the most recent version of Ancient Tools. And no, the scratched pine logs are also broken.

[vale fractal]

If the old version of the mod is still present in the mods folder, you'll likely want to delete it. There may also be residual data within the mod cache that could be interfering with things. Deleting that might help, too, it's in a Cache folder in the same location as the mods and saves folder.

[rare flame]

is there a way to make animals from Tenth Architect mods to drop brains too?

[vale fractal]

With the appropriate compatibility patches, yes. I think only Pantherinae and Capreolinae are supported for that right now

[knotty dock]

We're working on it to be built in

Tenth wants to scale brain drops based on creature weight, rather than the basic small/medium/large drop values

So it's a little uh, slower going than it would otherwise be

[rare flame]

maybe i was unlucky with brains /shrug

i got one but i dont remember from who, from a bunny i think

[karmic jolt]

Taska do you think you can add wedge splitting to the new decoration blocks (Quarter Logs) so we might get some resources back, does not have to be the full amount

[vale fractal]

I'll have to check that out 😮

[lofty elbow]

You should add inuit snow goggles! That winter snow is bright

[knotty dock]

snow goggles and sunglasses that apply a vingette and/or color filter? That sounds... actually amazing though, not gonna lie

[lofty elbow]

Exactly! You could whittle them out of bone for snow goggles, and if you wanted sunglasses you could probably do obsidian knapping or some gemstone (idk what gems are in the game)

[knotty dock]

The different quartz varieties

smoky, rose, amethyst, or olivine for different colors, maybe

[lofty elbow]

Smokey and rose would definitely work

I think real ancient sunglasses were made out of thosw

[knotty dock]

We're allowed a little creative liberty

Lemme get me some sick purple shades

[lofty elbow]

Yeah.
You could do bronze and quartz for sunglasses, and whittled bone and sinew for snow goggles

[knotty dock]

flax fibers would be more appropriate since sinew is from butchering

[rare flame]

there is already snow goggles in the game

rare ruin loot, cosmetic item

[vale fractal]

Ooooh I love these ideas. We even have antler that could be used for snow goggles now too

[candid jungle]

or bushmeat to copy the sinew part of the vanilla compound bow.

[lofty elbow]

Its more appropriate, artic people's didn't really farm

I know the mod has compatibility with some mods, so it could always just be both

[rare flame]

i love Vintage modding community so much

[vale fractal]

It's so great 😄

[knotty dock]

Oh right, btw the wedge splitting fix is rolling out in the next FZ update wave which should be within the next few weeks

[vale fractal]

Beautiful 😊

[gilded panther]

how to use animal brains in stews...

[vale fractal]

exactly like you normally would make stews 😮

[gilded panther]

goeOHHHHHHHH

thank you :)

[vale fractal]

Welcome 😄

[rare flame]

Caribou drop brains? From Tenth Architect mod.

[vale fractal]

The ones brought to vanilla do 😮

[rare flame]

i think Tenth Architect overrides vanilla animals

if if they are already in the game

[knotty dock]

I am still writing the patches for it, but moving back to my old place is in the way currently

[vale fractal]

Hope that's not too crazy o.o

[slate rock]

can anyone build beams with the wedges?

[round yoke]

yup

and you can remove them by targeting the point you started the beam

you use several beams at a time so make sure you have enough in your inv

[slate rock]

i'm to dumb, forgot to debark the logs 😛

[round yoke]

Hey @vale fractal ? Could you see an early game way to make planks so you are not locked behind metal ? Like Axe + Mallet ?

maybe debarked first ?

for like what.. 6-8 planks ?

not as much as with a saw but it's before metal.. carpenters have been doing that for centuries without metal..

or maybe even axe in offhand and mallet in main hand.. chop the logs into 2 slabs.. then those 2 slabs into 3 or 4 planks each ?

animation of hitting the back of the axe with the mallet ?

[vale fractal]

Maybe! I'd likely go with a toolmode sort of thing and use the same method as beams

[rare flame]

Realistic plank crafting would be neato

[elder basin]

Is there ever going to be any uses for the beams you can make besides wheels?

[round yoke]

Don't they prevent caveins? - Well for people punishing themselves with such settings

[vale fractal]

Yep they do, my partner and I play with this setting enabled. They get lots of use x3

As for beams in the mod, I have a concept for a multiblock tool/structure that would need like... half a stack of beams to build, but the thing is rather complex and I'm distracted by a lower hanging fruit of improving the tanning portion of this mod

[round yoke]

i should use them more.. i have been making do with packed dirt.. less stylish really LUL

[hard axle]

Anyone ever have the cart be unkillable and crash when you try to saw it down?

[vale fractal]

Uuuuh I was not aware of an issue with that. You may be able to enter creative mode and use an admin blade to remove it

[lofty elbow]

Idk what you'd use it for, but, ancient stone cutting could totally be done with a copper saw and sand. Could potentially be useful if there was ever a "rock hardness" system or something

Just giving different rock types different tier requirements

[round yoke]

Say, @vale fractal - Would it be possible to right-click to pick up the Pitch torches ? small QOL that would be nice..

[vale fractal]

Yea, that should be a thing

[gilded panther]

also allow me to harvest the pitch straight out of the container without sticks or having to break it 👍

and possible compat with the pewter series https://mods.vintagestory.at/pewter (i want to be able to seal containers using pitch)

[vale fractal]

Harvesting pitch with a stick was an intentional design choice to match real life. You reaaaally don't want to be touching that with your bare hands 😛

Compatibility with pewter crocks should be a simple recipe, totally doable

[gilded panther]

also compatible with the silver & gold, electrum and brass expansions maybe?

[round yoke]

lol, always something to do..

[vale fractal]

I'll put it on the to-do list 😄 It's unlikely to be completed soon, unfortunately, but sometime

[frosty fjord]

Taska, if I try to poke change needed for that mortar/pestle thing I wrote and make some patch would it increase chance for it to happen?

[vale fractal]

I've got it on my list now 😛 It should be a rather simple change, no need to bother coding it up unless you want the change before another update is ready

[frosty fjord]

Thank you, I'll be patient (or at least I'll try to be patient)..

[frosty fjord]

Hello, another question, could mortar also accept dried leaves from wildcraft mods (you can grind dried ones in quern to get mulch usable as fertilizer)

[knotty dock]

I'm finally out of the fog and adding the AT brain drops to FotSA - hopefully on the next round of updates you can drop the patches you have built in for the few covered (mostly because they will conflict in terms of drop rate)

Tenth and I ended up coming to the conclusion that a roughly rounded drop rate based on the animal's weight should line up with the realism lean he's taking with the modules

[knotty dock]

Also I will confirm this, pitch/pine resin even just fresh from the tree will stick to you for days and even scrubbing until your skin peels doesn't do it in one go, it's nature's superglue but worse

my source: I accidentally got the stuff on my hands and basically glued my work gloves to my hands clearing pines off some land

[vale fractal]

I used to handle the seasonal department at the store I work. Christmas time we'd get pine boughs. They leaked loads of resin and goodness is it ever sticky!

[vale fractal]

That I can! Awesome, looking forward to it, seems like a great plan 😄

[vale fractal]

Probably only if I ever dive into the weeds and do a full compatibility pass again. Certainly won't be anytime soon, though

[knotty dock]

God just thinking about doing the carts for wildcraft makes me go

[frosty fjord]

but you know.. weeds can be fun.. until some angry boar or wolf dashes on you from nearby grove..

[slate carbon]

Is it just me or is larch bark kind of useless?

Anyone know what to do with it?

Just firewood fodder?

[frosty fjord]

basket?

[slate carbon]

ye but besides that?

[vale fractal]

Some of the barks, like larch, can only be used for baskets and firewood. Others like birch can be used for salves and for bark bread. I'm working on expanding crafting options with bark in the next content pass

[slate carbon]

Thanks, no worries take yer time. Also I heard larch bark is used to make heat resistant stuff, might be able to do something with that info.

[vital tusk]

I keep getting a strange crash whenever I click on parchment in the handbook, seemingly because it can't find some ancienttools-bark recipe? Is there even a bark-parchment recipe? Is this an incompatibility with the "Extra Info" mod or something?
https://pastebin.com/DbRNn2w7

[vale fractal]

That's weird... The only situation I can think of where bark wouldn't exist might be when Dappled Groves is installed. Extra Info could be not set up to deal with that. Not sure, never used it tbh.

Even weirder is that Ancient Tools never has had a bark to parchment recipe 😖

I did look up the recipe on my test world, and there was no crash, so it must be a compatibility thing somewhere

[vital tusk]

Thanks! Time to start checking with various mods disabled, I guess

[woeful furnace]

How do you scratch pines to get resin?

[candid jungle]

with a knife

[woeful furnace]

Right Click? Left Click? <- This how i mean

[vale fractal]

Sneak right click with a knife in hand on a grown pine or acacia log if I remember correctly. There cannot be a resin block already present on the tree

[woeful furnace]

Thank you.

[polar oriole]

How long does it take for meat to cure? There's no timer and it looks the same.

[vale fractal]

It needs to be salted before it will start to cure. There should be a 'Cures In: x days' info blurb on the block info thing alongside the rot info. I think curing takes 20 days? It's something significant, so you need to have the rack in a temperature controlled environment to beat the rot timer

[polar oriole]

I'll check again! I have almost 200 meats salted just sitting in my cellar lol

[woeful furnace]

Is calcined flint not being able to be placed on the mortar intended?

[vale fractal]

It should be grindable in the mortar, I have a patch for it o.o

I always use the mortar and pestle for that when I need it in my current play

[knotty dock]

@vale fractal would it be possible to change the drops to a dropsByType in the directional resin? It'd be a lot easier to do compat for new wood types in the future and get rid of the harmless error on the floral zones side, plus cut down the size of the necessary patches.

Effectively from

        { type: "block", code: "game:log-placed-{wood}-ud", quantity: { avg: 1 }  }
    ],```
to
```    dropsByType: {
        "directionalresin-*-*-*-*": [ {type: "block", code: "game:log-placed-{wood}-ud", quantity: { avg: 1 }, states: ["pine","acacia"]} ]
    },```

(I tested the change to make sure it worked as well, no issues found here)

[vale fractal]

Sure! 😄

[knotty dock]

🙏 amazing

Figured I may as well ask since, the less work done the better

That will cut down the patches needed to add new directionalresin log drops by more than half and help get rid of the error

[knotty dock]

Now a terrible question, would it be possible to have that change out by friday? Or is that too much of a rush

[vale fractal]

Uuuuuh

My next content pass is feature complete, but not thoroughly tested. I might be able to get a prerelease of that out by Friday, or shortly after

[knotty dock]

Nice

Tenth wanted to get another round of floral zones updates out this friday and wanted to do a minor bugfix pass, if those go out with the compat patches changed, they wouldn't work until yours went out

[vale fractal]

Hope it all goes well ^_^

[vale fractal]

A pre-release version of Ancient Tools 1.6.0 is now available on the ModDB ^_^

Buckskin is now the resulting product from the brain tanning method, which can be used to craft some new clothing items.

Don't worry though, players can still craft proper leather by using bark ash as an alternative to lime. This is a product resulting from burning stacks of bark within a pit kiln.

Bark Tanning is also included in this tanning focused release, which makes it possible to create bark-colored leather products. The method is somewhat similar to the vanilla method, but has a few unique steps and intermediate products.

There's also a handful of other additions and changes that have made their way into this version of the mod, plus all the compatibility requests from @knotty dock should be there too

[glass tree]

leather from brain tanning has been removed?

[vale fractal]

Yes, it is now buckskin. You can still craft leather without lime using a another material in the mod called bark ash

[woeful furnace]

So brain tanning now produces something else entirely, and used for vanilla clothing or new ones?

[vale fractal]

For now, just three articles of clothing, warshirts, breechcloth and mocassins. There's probably going to be more stuff though, I really enjoyed making those x3

The process is now more accurate to real life. It does not make a hard leather

[glass tree]

what about hide soaking?

by right clicking on water

with a hide?

[vale fractal]

It's still there

[glass tree]

thats nice

[vale fractal]

Unless I royally broke something, which is possible xD

[glass tree]

i have an idea for a new primitive block. a primitve storage vessel. made from some stones and a log and resin in the crafting grid. has weaker grain and vegetable spoil rates than normal storage vessels

[vale fractal]

Perhaps 😛

There's a thing in this update that's similar, but it's not a vessel. It could become one though

[vital tusk]

Hide soaking replaces the lime step for leather already, right? That is what made the brain tanning process hugely easier than vanilla. Not the brains (which are kind of rare) but that you could go 1. water sack, 2. scraping, 3. weak tanning, 4. strong tannin -- with no lime/borax

For hide soaking to be balanced against lime/borax barrel sealing it'd probably have to take 4 days (vs 20 hours in barrel for lime)

[oak snow]

The new update looks very exciting! Does the new update rely on 1.20.11 content specifically, or should I be okay if I edit the modinfo.json to 1.20.4?

[vale fractal]

It's still marked for 1.20.0 in the modinfo. I think it should be fine? There are still a few issues likely to pop up in general though

[oak snow]

I'll give it a shot and try it out o7 Thanks for the update!

[vale fractal]

🥳

[oak snow]

1.6.2025 22:34:43 [Error] Syntax error in json file 'ancienttools:recipes/grid/item/gear/armor/brigandinelegs.json': Failed deserializing brigandinelegs.json: After parsing a value an unexpected character was encountered: ". Path '[0].ingredients.P', line 8, position 10.```

Just got those on startup, don't know if that means anything to you

[vale fractal]

Whoops, missing commas, all fixed 🤪

[fleet nebula]

Was tool durability not scaling ever patched? Even if I set durability to 400 percent, Ancient Tools stuff doesn't increase... Unless the durability is insanely low to begin with? Like, single digit durability?

[vale fractal]

I don't believe the scaling is implemented, no

[gilded panther]

is pitch useable on the pewter mods yet?

[vale fractal]

Not yet, no

[plucky path]

Hello, I have been playing around with this mod and love the new stuff added!

However, when I use a mallet on bark it crashes my game 😦

I have identified that this happens when there is only about one layer of bark to break up.

Is anyone else having this issue?

edit

The issue appears to be if there is under one layer of bark.

[vale fractal]

It's some bad math in the code. I'll have a fix out for that shortly!

[vale fractal]

Aight, fix is out. It should solve a few crashes

[woeful furnace]

Umm, are knife supposed to be able to debark? This only happen with Pine, no other trees.

I guess something went wrong with resin carving.

[vale fractal]

Yep @-@ Fix one thing and another breaks

[woeful furnace]

Lmao, its fine honestly, with mods I have like 3 (including this) ways to get resin artificially lol.

[willow hollow]

I just installed all the floral zones and ancient tools is throwing this error when loading up the world. Doesnt seem like a big deal but was wondering if there was a fix or if i need to be concerned about it

[vale fractal]

#1033026094598717510 message

I was asked to make this change to the drops, which is what this error is referencing, so I assume that sometime an update will be pushed to the Floral Zone mods that will take advantage of it

[willow hollow]

awesome, thank you 😄

[knotty dock]

I thought Tenth had dropped it in the most recent update wave but I guess he forgot

[lofty elbow]

You know what would be awesome? An atlatl. It could give you bonus range and damage in spears

Or you could have fluted spear darts:
https://youtube.com/shorts/NjUnjesNtc0?si=-vJKPpPxkeKEaofm

[willow hollow]

thats pretty cool

[gilded panther]

waiting for the pewter compat to this day

[fleet nebula]

ObsidianCraft has you covered.
https://mods.vintagestory.at/obsidiancraft

Ah wait, no it does not

(I got those cool obsidian swords mixed up with spear enhancers, don't ask me how)

[desert basin]

Anyone having issues placing grain the in mortar?

Might have a mod conflict but not sure

[desert basin]

def a mod conflict. with just Ancient Tools loaded, everything is gravy

Also shells work fine with my current modlist, just an issue with grains

[desert basin]

I narrowed down the mod conflict to Wildcraft Fruits and Nuts. Not sure if there's compatibility fix, but both mods work when isolated from each other.

[upbeat siren]

So I have a weird bug, I used the carts and all was fine, then I stopped the server went offline and after I logged back in I was not able to move the carts and I now always port back the location of the cart. I destroyed the cart and it still ports me back, even after I deinstalled the mod.

[vale fractal]

That's definitely weird, there shouldn't be anything forcing the player position o.o

Maaybe there's a client and server desync with the movement speed debuff. I think there's a command to remove it, with the mod installed, something like '/removemobilestoragedebuff [PlayerName]', see if that helps?

[upbeat siren]

I don't know what I did, but after messing arround with reinstalling and deinstalling the mod I now can move again (mod deinstalled), for now I dont use the mod anymore

[fleet nebula]

I also have a player teleport bug, but it happens upon logging in for a while sometimes. It's more likely a server load thing than a mod thing; not properly updating player coords as you walk around

[dull steeple]

Hey I need help

Idk why but this mod has trouble with flora of the Stone Age mods

And the flora packs

[dull steeple]

Oh you’re having the same problem! How did you fix it?

[tacit elbow]

From what they are saying it looks like it’s harmless.

[willow hollow]

Yeah i didnt fix it heh

[dull steeple]

Could you increase drop rate for brains?

I’m not a zombie btw

[vale fractal]

The chance of this happening is fairly low. Most people seem satisfied at the current rates, myself included. I imagine the lack of compatibility with other mods is the biggest issue here

[dull steeple]

wait how often are brains are suppose to drop

like blank out of how many animals

[vale fractal]

25%-45% chance depending on the size of the animal. The smallest baby critters, like chicks, never drop them

[vale fractal]

By the way, if you're running any version of Ancient Tools on VS 1.21.0-rc.1, no brains will drop at all. The vanilla file structure for entities has been changed and none of the patches can find the files they were patching previously

[tardy echo]

Quick question is they're any plans to make ancient tools compadiblitie with wildcraft trees & scrubs? @vale fractal

[vale fractal]

It was a thing at one point. I had to remove it. It was either way out of date or people felt that it was causing ? blocks, I honestly can't remember what the exact reason was.

I may make a companion mod with that compatibility at some point, I don't know. It's a lot of work

[tardy echo]

Ahh I see

[high rock]

the mod has ALOT of problems with toolsmith

would be nice if you could find a way to fix at least the big ones

little list of the problems i know of :

both mallet and adze don't have any textures
can't craft adze the toolsmith ways
wedges have sharpness which causes alot of stacking problems

this might be all i'm not sure but they are pretty big

ok the mallet doesn't work anymore too for some reason

(in toolsmith crafting)

[high rock]

also would be cool for combat overhaul compat for the armors and compat for the ash with the mod soap and lye

[keen obsidian]

Is there a config or something that would allow you to add items that can be ground in the mortar and pestle to allow some intergation with other mods?

[vale fractal]

There isn't, no. Stuff like that generally needs custom shapes and texture references

[high rock]

would be cool if you needed to grind horsetail with a mortar and pestle to be able to make horsetail poultices

[vale fractal]

Ooooh that is a neat idea

[keen obsidian]

Sounds reasonable. Maybe make an alternate recipe with horsetail salve that creates more total poultices.

So the vanilla recipe will just be less efficient

[karmic jolt]

I have a bit a weird request, do you think you could make a shelf which fits the wedges?

like 2 rows of boards with holes? :D

[vale fractal]

I always just use a debarked log :P~

But! It certainly could be nice to have a storage spot out of the way

[karmic jolt]

Hm a debarked log is also a good idea

[hollow isle]

Whenever I start my world I get a bunch of errors like these:

Are they save to ignore?

[vale fractal]

Probably. I'm assuming you have Dappled Groves installed?

This is a recipe newer than that compatibility pass, so it never gets disabled. Shouldn't cause problems for you.

[hollow isle]

I do. Great to know, thanks for the reply. 🙂

[ruby nova]

Anyone know why this isn't working?

[high rock]

thats definitly weird

maybe the mod files are corrupted

should try reinstalling the mod

[ruby nova]

alright thanks I'll try that

[high rock]

either that or the version you're using is too old and its already fixed

[ruby nova]

I've managed to fix it just by following the recipe exactly. So 8 bark ash in 10L of water.

I guess it doesn't like it if you go over that.

[knotty dock]

@vale fractal I finally got around to finishing the brain drops for the FotSA series so it will be baked in - it's safe to remove the compat from your end if you're so inclined. Tenth wanted to drop rates to accurately reflect the size of the animal, though, so it's not entirely in line with how you have it set up by base. Most mid and large size animals will still be under 1, but some very large animals can drop several brains at once to represent the fact that their brains are large enough to get several pounds of the stuff at once. Countered by the fact that ones large enough to do so are also incredibly deadly to hunt (rhinos, elephants, mammoths, some ocean-dwelling predators and the like)

Also, tested and working in 1.21.0-rc.7, the brains do drop for FotSA entities

Tenth should be dropping the updates this week and next as they get pushed to the 1.21 era

Getting some stuff for the floral zones compat fixed too, should no longer have the harmless error that everyone panics over, though doing bark leather compat might not be an immediate thing (unless you want to provide some extra textures in new and exciting colors, though it might be a little too much to cover with how many new trees are added)

[knotty dock]

Also have just finished the floral zones stuff, fixed some stuff and got the primitve barrels added to the compat too

[vale fractal]

Oooooh awesome, that sounds amazing. With the difference in scale and lethality of some of those critters, changing up the drop rates makes a whole lot more sense. That must have taken a fair amount of work, awesome stuff 😄

I do believe that all the former compatibility stuff has been removed as of the first pre-release of Ancient Tools 1.6.0, so we should be good there! I'll do a comb through and check if there's anything I missed though. I'm going to be putting out another pre-release for VS 1.21 somewhat soon, probably. Sooo some recipes for bark dough and such needed a tweak to work with new clay bowl variants. Should just be small stuff like that that may affect Floral Zones in some way.

I should be able to dedicate some time to making variant textures once the mod is ready for VS 1.21. I still have the PSD files. They're palette swaps with varying blending layers so even a fair number of textures shouldn't be overly time consuming

[knotty dock]

I grabbed that one from the mod db and it still had like, pantherinae and another one in there as folders but I didn't dip in further

And yeah, we would have to figure what colors the trees would make anyway

There's no bark flour from floral zones, so that's no issue there

May work that in later, along with a few other medicinal barks for the salve, information on the trees is a little sparse on that front

[vale fractal]

Oh that's weird, it does appear in the assets folder, even when I rebuild the project. It's empty though. Maybe a project setup quirk. I imagine that won't cause problems

It's amazing how useless google can be when you want to know something hyper specific, like the amount of tannin content in a particular tree. Information gathering can be harder than the modding itself xD

[knotty dock]

Oh right, also the weak larch bark liquor is missing an en lang entry

[ember kite]

I'm having a weird problem with pitch in 1.21

1. make some prepared pitch (this goes as expected)
2. place it on the ground
3. ... this doesn't remove the prepared pitch item from my inventory
4. ... and i can't... cause a stick to do things with it??
   so it's like, a dupe glitch but also the least useful dupe glitch because it's not like i can turn this into usable pitch

[vale fractal]

Weird... I may have missed something with the coloured clay pot tweaks

[vale fractal]

You are using the pre-4 version of Ancient Tools 1.6.0, yea?

[ember kite]

Yeah, 1.6.0-pre.4

[vale fractal]

Thanks, I'll look into it

[ember kite]

I also have a uhhh lot of mods, and I don't think it should cause any problems, but I hadn't tried to make pitch in 1.20, but e.g. Toolsmith hasn't caused any other features of sticks to break, so. 🤷‍♀️

[vale fractal]

It's definitely an oversight on my part xD

I'll try to throw up the fix soon, that's pretty major

[ember kite]

damn should've kept the extra pitch pots instead of virtuously throwing them into the sea

though i mean. i can always just replicate the replication. it was very easy. 🤔 eh i'll sleep on it

[vale fractal]

Fix is up 😛

[ember kite]

pitching them into the sea

glad the fix was straightforward, happy to help

[ember kite]

@vale fractal maybe this is because i'm also using expanded foods/a culinary artillery, but. :( pitch not working to seal crocks

[knotty dock]

Was that ever an option? I don't remember that myself

At least not in the versions I was using

[ember kite]

something was telling me it was an option.....

idk.

another pitch thing is that the log barrels interaction tooltip tells me I can use the balls of pitch (the ones without a stick) to seal them, but I cannot. pitch onna stick works fine. just, the ball of pitch item (I cba to check the proper in-game names right now) is one of the items that shows up in the cycle of "items you could use to seal this primitive barrel"

I coulda sworn the handbook claimed pitch on a stick was a possible ingredient for a sealed crock... 🤷

[vale fractal]

It has been a thing in the mod since pitch was first introduced. Not too sure why the recipe isn't working- it looks correct at first glance

[vale fractal]

Looks like there's an attribute that controls what items seal crocks now, huh

[knotty dock]

Huh, neat

That's on me for not checking

[vale fractal]

Ho-kay, another release is out to fix those issues and the few others that popped up on the ModDB

[glad marsh]

Hey @vale fractal, my Infinite fleet of 1.21 Servers hath delivered some server-main error logs and some verbose debug stuff too for AncientTools_V1.6.0-pre.6

It's... a lot, would you rather have a DM or can I post them here?

[tender basin]

Are these the recipe errors? I'm getting the same on just an SP world as I'm testing things for a new playthrough.

[glad marsh]

some salvepot stuff and such in server main yes, but also a large block of verbose errors

[tender basin]

Yep, getting the same thing

[vale fractal]

Feel free to DM me the logs ^-^

I imagine it's probably the recipes that convert salve pots to vanilla pots and such

[glad marsh]

Yes, but you're getting the verbose and debug stuff too

[woeful furnace]

Got a crash relating to adze stripping, was holding left shift+left ctrl to place a seed on the ground.

[woeful furnace]

Seems like this is consistent, happens because of placing modded seeds from Soap and Lye mod

[vale fractal]

What mod version are you running?

[vale fractal]

Also... do those seeds get placed on logs or something? Cuz that adze stripping behavior requires block interaction on a log o.o

[woeful furnace]

Yes, on normal, non-debarked log. I used oak log as flooring.
I am using the most recent test version

You know, I haven't tried placing them on debarked log, brb

[vale fractal]

I may get a chance to look into it this weekend

[plush venture]

So no more making leather with this mod?

[vale fractal]

Hmm? Yea, there is. Bark tanning is the new process for making proper leather. Brain tanning is now for buckskin. It's more analogous to real life this way.

[plush venture]

I never made leather the vanilla way so I’m not entirely sure on the process. Can I still make leather without limestone?

Or only buckskin

Also I still love the mod even if I couldn’t so I hope I don’t sound rude just curious

[woeful furnace]

With this mod, you still can make leather (now wood colored) without lime. However as a precaution, if you happened to have mods that changes vanilla leather item stat (mostly relating to backpack), the colored leather items won't have the same stats. On another note, thankfully the wood colored leather armor works perfectly with Combat Overhaul.

Oh wait, there is also Bark Ash, which is the alternative to limestone. So you should be fine if you want to make vanilla leather.
(I was reading it wrong)

[woeful furnace]

Got this crash when splitting wood with wedges.

This crash happened right after I split a log, but neither the support beams nor the wedges fell out, as if the log is still there, like a desync. Tried axe-ing it and crash.

[slate carbon]

Hey, it's good to see you're squashing bugs as they popup. I was worried that would not be the case. I had to let go of a few other mods due to them not working right yet but I simply cannot play this game without your additions to it.

[woeful furnace]

A really weird desync issue, it actually stuck around for a good minute before I axe it and crash.
Seem irreproducible, so 🤷🏼‍♂️
Hopefully its actually just desync.

[vale fractal]

Did the block turn invisible or something? O.o

[woeful furnace]

Actually yes, the block turned invisible, and the wedge didn't pop out, so they're just floating.

I wish I actually screenshotted it.

[vale fractal]

Weird. There's a shape for each state of the debarked logs. Maybe I missed one, that'd explain the invisibility, but it's wild to think that it's been undiscovered all this time

If you DO see that again you may need to go into creative mode to clear it. Any method that skips that veiny-looking break progress overlay should do

[quaint coral]

Can you not ground grain with the mortar and pestle? or is another mod conflicting.

[vale fractal]

It should be possible. Could be another mod, or something could have changed in vanilla affecting things, will need to check

[vale fractal]

With AT 1.6.0 pre-6 and VS 1.21.1-rc.2 it's possible to grind grain in the mortar. I imagine a mod conflict is happening

[knotty dock]

This happened a lot when the beam drops first got swapped for vanilla, but usually only with modded logs.

Basically when there's no drop defined

It pulls a ctd and turns the block into a ghost, but you can break it in creative mode to remove it safely

You can even reproduce it by making the item drop invalid in the json and trying to wedge split a debarked log

Same error and everything even from when I had to update the floral zones patches for the changes to the drop

[vale fractal]

Ooooh okay that makes sense. Should be able to deduce the exact issue with that information, thank you

[woeful furnace]

Well......I don't use modded trees, and the only plant mods I use is just the pepper and soap and lye....
Oh man.

Well i hope the fix affect me lmao.

[queen kettle]

@vale fractal Ive started having an issue when I used the morter and pestle, after a couple uses of it will just freeze and VS will just stop responding

I cant really produce a crash log, because it just stays frozen until I close it

[vale fractal]

Are there specific things you are doing/grinding?

[queen kettle]

I was grinding shells into lime

[vale fractal]

I'll have a look into it!

[queen kettle]

Ill keep you posted if it happens again or if i get a log

[vale fractal]

I did quickly try to test, and after 10 grinds I didn't have a noticeable dip in performance. If it does happen, there may be some errors being thrown which could print out to server-debug or client-debug. If you do have it happen again, please peek into those and see if anything is printed there?

[hollow isle]

Getting the following errors starting my game, similar errors happen with the salvepot as well. Not sure if it's ancient tools, or carry on?

[vale fractal]

Ancient Tools, compatability is not updated yet

[hollow isle]

Good to know, I wait for that then.

[coarse tendon]

how much saturation in food does brain give ? cuz normally it shows as 0

[vale fractal]

300 when used in a meal

[woeful furnace]

Wait, they can be used in meals? Which?

[vale fractal]

It should take the slot of any meat product 😋

So, can replace redmeat in stews and such

[tawdry kelp]

Is there any way to disable the bark tanning portion of the mod? It's causing a lot of compatibility issues and confusion on my server :(

[vale fractal]

There is no means of disabling this content via config or anything at the moment. I did keep all that content relatively compartmentalized so some patches can be written to disable that stuff with relative ease. That is, if you feel inclined to do so, until I can get around to it myself

[coarse tendon]

any chance we get Expanded foods compatibility for bark flour ? cuz it seems completly unusable without

the items such as recpective dough do exist but there are no recipies for them, nor any to use flour itself

[coarse tendon]

Salty's manual dough works as a workaround

[coarse tendon]

well, only for creating bread, still impossible to create breadcrumbs from it for example

the item seems to be generated but bread cant be grinded

actually it has its own texture idk

[vale fractal]

It's probably a result of my related items(dough, bread, etc) being pulled out of the game directory and put into the ancienttools directory. Whatever compatibility did exist may need to be tweaked to accomodate that change

[coarse tendon]

any chance for butchering blooddough compatibility too ? or its not something youre aiming for or its something I should ask on butchering mod thread instead ?

[vale fractal]

I'll see what kind of time I get

[lofty elbow]

Has anyone suggested adding pemmican? Itd be a good use for beries and grain

[vale fractal]

It already exists in various other mods 😄

[tidal wagon]

@vale fractal Hi, just got this crash when trying to grind bark, thanks!

[vale fractal]

Probably an incompatibility between Ancient Tools and In Dappled Groves. This should be solved soon

[tidal wagon]

@vale fractal yeah the bark shenanigans, i appreciate all ur work

[warped holly]

Hey there, having an issue on a multiplayer server (it only seems to be affecting me for some reason)

This started after a few day's of playing the server, where basically my game would crash whenever I tried to join it.

so far ive tried:
reinstalling the game
uninstalling the mod and letting it auto download
manual installing the mod.
restarting PC
and waiting

it says that a 'critical error occured'

heres what I grabbed from the client-crash.log (I think this is the right thing?)

[vale fractal]

Have you tried clearing the contents of the cache folder in VintagestoryData? This is the place the game unpacks the mods to be used for play. The data in there may be incomplete for some reason.

This particular crash is occurring on a line of code where the shape of the cart is being loaded into the cart renderer. That file absolutely exists in the mod version you're using, so it's the only explanation I can think of 🤔

[warped holly]

I have not, may I ask how to do that?

[vale fractal]

Delete everything in %appdata%/VintagestoryData/Cache. When you load the game again, the game will cache the files again

[warped holly]

Mmh mhmm, alrighty!

This wont cause like any issues with a multi-player server will it?

[vale fractal]

Nope! It shouldn't

[warped holly]

Sweet, thanks!

[tawdry kelp]

No longer able to place chambersticks on walls on my server in 1.21.x - intentional, bug, or possible mod conflict?

[vale fractal]

Certainly not intended, will see what's up

[vale fractal]

Found and fixed the problem. Things will work properly in the next release, thanks!

[tawdry kelp]

@wise valve

[wise valve]

Thank you!!

[winter marsh]

Hey Taska! We're adding corks to A Culinary Artillery and I'm looking to add a quick debarking process for oak logs. Would it be alright for me to make an oakbark item or something with the same parameters as yours, that is disabled when Ancient Tools is detected?

While giving you credit for it, of course.

[vale fractal]

Sure! Go right ahead, feel free to use anything you like

[winter marsh]

Splendid, thank you! And as a happy byproduct of ACA having the cauldron, now we can boil bark to make cork. I'm so pleased. 😁

[dry aurora]

how do i make primitive barrels?

[slate carbon]

So just wondering, how comeplete is the latest update?

Are there still any big issues that need to be ironed out?

I remember having a lot of errors when using this mod upon loading into a new world.

Nothing that would crash the game tho. But still, the errors are there for a reason afterall. They could cause issues in the future.

[vale fractal]

Hold sprint and right click on a log. It'll progress through several stages. On the final stage you'll need to apply some fat or pitch to seal the barrel. It can then be used

[vale fractal]

There's still compatibility stuff that needs addressing but, otherwise, it should work well with vanilla

[dry aurora]

i tried that, it doesnt work, does toolsmith break it?

[slate carbon]

ok thanks. Will see what happens then.

Besides some errors here and there nothing really is going amiss atm.

Is there something the user can do something about or did you not look into it yet?

[rare flame]

i used to like this mod a lot but nowdays not so much

back in the day i installed it because of brain taining, as it was a way to get leather in artic (oaks dont spawn), but brain tanning gives completely useless buckskin now, which is used to craft select few bad clothes instead

bark tanning is cool, but it makes unique leather variants that is not used in non vanilla recipes

only thing im using this mod now is bark stripped quarter logs, and bark baskets for early game

sad

[round yoke]

and pitch torches ?

[slate carbon]

You likely already know this but I think the EF patch needs a update for using bread on the mortar.

[winter marsh]

to be fair, I haven't reviewed AT compatibility on the EF side yet 😅

[violet jewel]

Hey, I'm looking for some help on what could be causing this crash to one of clients on my server?

This is the only person affected by this and I'm trying to pin-point why.

[knotty dock]

That error came up a lot when I was doing the AT compat for floral zones, it can't find certain textures for the cart and crashes. First thing I would try is increase your texture atlas size

Second thing, probably want to update your floral zones to current versions

All of them are like months out of date

@violet jewel

It's possible that one of them doesn't have the updated compat, because ancient tools changed how some of the stuff had to be patched

[tacit otter]

Is greenspire cypress bark supposed to be gotten from the Mediterranean cypress?

[vale fractal]

Apologies for the slow response. I'm not sure why it happens, but having the player affected by this clear their mod cache at %appdata%/Roaming/VintagestoryData/Cache has worked for other people.

This is where the game unpacks mod files. For some reason something went wrong and the game couldn't find the cart shape. It exists, clearly, since other players on the server don't have the same problem so likely just that cache issue.

[vale fractal]

I'm not sure 😅

[tacit otter]

Currently the Mediterranean cypress is the only vanilla tree that can't get debarked and the greenspire cypress bark is unable to be acquired in survival

[violet jewel]

All in all I don’t know if the person on the other end has tried to resolve this by clearing the cache, but if they did, that didn’t do the trick.

What we did is we removed the cart entity from the world - it struggled with being removed by the by, on being deconstructed by hitting it repeatedly, which necessitated a server restart - but after it was gone, the person was able to proceed

We haven’t tried rebuilding the cart, because at the technological stage we are at currently, carts are kind of redundant

[vale fractal]

Ohh that's likely a mistake then

[high rock]

also what da release do ?

[vale fractal]

All changes are mentioned in the change log on the moddb page 😮

[high rock]

since when did they add a darn change log

[vale fractal]

It's been a while! This presentation is new-ish though, I think. There should be a change log button near where you download each specific mod version

[errant pecan]

Hello! I'm trying to make bark chunks, but I can't seem to make it work. Is it an incompatibility with In Dappled Groves or another mod? I'm guessing the IDG bark piles replaced AT's and so they can't be processed with mallet or axes...

[vale fractal]

There are some incompatibilities with Dappled Groves, it is likely that. Vinter is working on getting that sorted.

[errant pecan]

I see! Thank you for the answer ^^
I'll simply do with cutting down some oaks for now, then :)

[round yoke]

Say.. is it possible to disable the scraping recipe from the grid with this mod by adding

"DisableScrapingRecipes": true,

to the json ? because i would REALLY like to remove the grid recipe, so you are forced to use the stretching frame you spent time on actually making..

[knotty dock]

In the config, change the highlighted line to true

[round yoke]

oh thanks !!

must have missed that

[knotty dock]

I'm seeing a comment on the moddb about a bug that got quashed already regarding floral zones, I'm gonna take a look at it tomorrow to see if that's back or something

[queen wolf]

@vale fractal
Hi, While making the patch for my mod, I noticed that the French translation hadn't been updated in a long time, so here it is. Additionally, I fixed quite a few broken handbook links and took the opportunity to make the file JSON compliant. So, here are the French and English files (in case you want the fixes).

[knotty dock]

Seems like the bread file got changed a little bit and the expanded foods bread compat patch adding the ability to grind breadcrumbs in the mortar breaks. Looks like it can be fixed just by changing up the patch a bit.

30.12.2025 00:16:34 [Error] Patch 1 (target: game:itemtypes/food/bread.json) in ancienttools:patches/compatibility/expandedfoods/bread.json failed because supplied path /attributesByType/*-perfect/mortarProperties is invalid: The json path /attributesByType/*-perfect/mortarProperties was not found. No such element 'attributesByType' at the root path
30.12.2025 00:16:34 [Error] Patch 2 (target: game:itemtypes/food/bread.json) in ancienttools:patches/compatibility/expandedfoods/bread.json failed because supplied path /attributesByType/*-charred/mortarProperties is invalid: The json path /attributesByType/*-charred/mortarProperties was not found. No such element 'attributesByType' at the root path```

It's a bit too late on my end but I can probably fix it tomorrow if you'd like

[knotty dock]

@vale fractal Just dropped a quick PR to fix a thing for expanded foods compat on your end, if you want to look

[vale fractal]

Wonderful! I will add it with the next update, thanks so much 😄

[knotty dock]

It was super simple, vanilla removed attributesByType and made it all attributes, so changing it from /attributesByType/mortarProperties to /attributes/mortarPropertiesByType was basically all it took

The EF side stuff is gonna take a lot of ripping apart and rewriting though since you made all your stuff unique item instead of vanilla patching

[vale fractal]

Aaah. I did try adjusting it to attributes, too, and I saw I was having missing textures for some reason. Hadn't yet gotten to the bottom of that problem

I'll totes get your PR in and work from there!

[knotty dock]

Oh, the textures work fine with it too

At least that I saw with the different cooked states

[verbal hamlet]

So, I'm trying to smoke brained hides into buckskin but it doesnt seem to be working. I'm not sure what's happening except that they start to heat and then just stall out after a few seconds at just a tiny sliver green on the cooking bar. Anyone know what's going on or any hints on what might be causing it?

[knotty dock]

brained hides take 1200 seconds each to smoke, which isn't stalling, it just takes a long time

[verbal hamlet]

lol, that would indeed explain it. I wasnt expecting 20 minutes of cooking time.

[knotty dock]

And unless you have better firepits or similar, that's not including the heat up time of each

[shrewd pebble]

Is there a way to configure how much pitch repairs objects?

[vale fractal]

Nope, there is not

[vale fractal]

However, if you feel comfortable opening the assets and making an edit, you can go to assets/ancienttools/itemtypes/resources/pitch.json and adjust the 0.25 to any value from 0.00 to 1.00

"repairPercentageByType": {
    "*-stick": 0.25
},

[shrewd pebble]

Thank you. I might try it.

[hasty solstice]

How do I make wood bark ash?

[vale fractal]

Gotta fire half a stack of bark in a pit kiln

[hasty solstice]

Half stack is a pile of 32, right?

[vale fractal]

Yup! Pretty sure it's half a stack. If not the game will tell you

[hasty solstice]

Splitting debarked logs is fucking peak, I have now 12 support beams for toolsmith handles

Taska you're really peak

[hasty solstice]

[hasty solstice]

I like hide soaking with ash, scrapping and stretching

Once again, goated mod, taska

[vale fractal]

Yay! 😄

[hasty solstice]

Hey @vale fractal , compatibility with toolsmith is broken

Has been for a while

[clear marsh]

does anyone has problems together with InDappleGroves ? i tryed grinding maple bark in a mortar and it crashed my game.

[vale fractal]

VinterNacht was looking into updating the compatibility between our mods in InDappledGroves. I disable my items when their mod is present.

@hasty solstice Would you be willing to share some details? I don't habdle the compatibility here, but maybe I can pass info along

[hasty solstice]

Construction/dismantle tools system, extra durability and sharpness mainly. Also making pitch usable as a glue binding like resin glue and/or glues from butchering

[hasty solstice]

@vale fractal hey, I was thinking about making a patch for washing raw fleece from wool mod with ash water since it was done historically, and so I have made the code for it to work, but how do I add the patch, and can I give it to you so it can be included in next version of the game?

[vale fractal]

I'm not tooooo sure on the how, I'll need to investigate all that's involved. As for inclusion, yep! I'll include it for sure.

I just need to mention that I plan to dismantle Ancient Tools into smaller modules for 1.22, and some parts may be cut altogether. It will take some time to do this, but it should allow me to be more able to have a quicker turnaround on compatibility patches and fixes.

[hasty solstice]

I can just slide you the patch, as I have made it

    }```

This on a patch inside the mod

I will add it myself for my playthrough with me and my friend, but it would be cool to see it together in the future

[knotty dock]

Oh neat, refactor for 1.22

[vale fractal]

Many thanks 😄

[flint valve]

Heya, so I'm having an issue on a multiplayer server where when I change the mobileStorageProps quantitySlots, it crashes. In game, I've got our chests set to 32 slots, so when I changed the 16 to 32 in the chest.json file, it kicks the player out of the game when they try to interact with a chest while it is on the cart. I've done the same thing with the small chests (owl / treasure) and the vessels, reed baskets, and they all worked fine but the chest is causing issues for some reason and I'm hoping someone would have an idea how to remedy it.

[vale fractal]

Hmm... It could be a bug with the GUI scroll bar. I don't think any of the values I had set were ever high enough to use a scroll bar so it likely never became a problem

[flint valve]

Ah okay, that's unfortunate :< Thank you for responding

[celest geyser]

Has anyone made a patch for 1.22? If so, I'd love to use it!

[paper river]

https://mods.vintagestory.at/ancientlib
there it is, but there are only resin and mortar modules out

[celest geyser]

Tyvm!

[ember kite]

yesterday I noticed that mortar and pestle weren't working right in my 1.22.stable world; specifically they don't have crafting recipes, and when I go look for them in the handbook they're mystery blocks. getting out of bed to check if it's a mod problem or a me problem would involve dislodging a cat, but I'll probably remember to report back in more detail later today

[ember kite]

eeyup they sure don't work.
VS: 1.22.0
AncientLib: v1.0.0
Mortar and Pestle: v1.0.0
Also a buuunch of other mods so I'm going to check if this still occurs on a clean version that's naught but VS, AL, and M&P

.> it doesn't. ok wtf.

[vale fractal]

That's very odd. Could you perhaps pastebin your server-main and client-main logs please? 🙏

[ember kite]

https://pastebin.com/xdeMU7xE server-main
https://pastebin.com/6LHMUv5j client-main

[vale fractal]

Thank you muchly

[errant pecan]

I was wondering, how many modules are you gonna make for the new version of ancient tools? I find that switch pretty interesting, but I'm excited to use them!

[vale fractal]

Currently 10 modules total. My plan looks to be something like this:

Mortar and Pestle -> Resin Harvest(scouring) -> Pitch -> Brain/Buckskin Tanning -> Adze/Bark Products -> Primitive Barrel -> Wedge Log Splitting/Mallet -> Curing Rack -> Carts -> Bark Tanning

I just need to find the motivation to jump into the deep end and get things done 😅

[errant pecan]

Oh I see! If the adze module is separate from the primitive barrel one though, does it mean the primitive barrel will be carved out with something else, or will it have a dependency on the adze module?

[ember kite]

-.- client-main, lines 161 and 164
161 28.4.2026 18:54:22 [Warning] Did not find required shape ancienttoolsmortar:shapes/block/mortar/mortar.json anywhere. (defined in Shape for block ancienttoolsmortar:mortar-granite)
164 28.4.2026 18:54:23 [Warning] Did not find required shape ancienttoolsmortar:shapes/item/tool/pestle.json anywhere. (defined in Shape for item ancienttoolsmortar:pestle-granite)
that does not, of course, explain why it can't be found......

[vale fractal]

It may be that something went wrong when the game cached the mod. I would recommend deleting the contents of the ModCache folder in VintagestoryData and see if that helps!

[ember kite]

🎊

[vale fractal]

I'll likely make it possible to carve out barrels with a knife and hammer/mallet too. One voxel layer at a time. The process will take longer but it'll be possible

[errant pecan]

Oooh, that's a good solution
Excited to use them!

[hasty solstice]

Brain tanning, sure. Egg tanning? It's a good substitute.

[hasty solstice]

Please please please please please please please please please please please please 🥺🥺🥺

[twilit spoke]

hio

wanted to say that https://mods.vintagestory.at/resinharvest does not seem to work

cant score trees by right clicking or left clicking

[twilit spoke]

oh you just pushed a patch, thank you

[vale fractal]

Uuuuh I sure hope not cuz I've been at work all day 😅. I'll have a look soon.

Not sure if this is the case but, sometimes, trees can have resin blocks hidden in the leaves. Only one resin block can be made per tree with this mod

[twilit spoke]

No, there was an odd patch

Seems it jusr didnt install

[hasty solstice]

Hey! Taska! I have an idea for your modular ancient tools!

Bark tanning can be its own standalone thing; carts can be standalone, too; azde, mallet, splitting logs and carving primitive barrels work all together in synergy; and is it bread incorporated on salve and resin?

[vale fractal]

Adze and all bark products like baskets and bread will release together. Mallet and splitting log will be together. The barrel will be alone, it can have a less efficient carving craft with a chisel or knife

[paper river]

is there any possibility for fire carving mechanic?

The only problem I see with this, is that you would need to make a separate entity so it carves instead of burning the log

oh, i didn't thought about that

Yeah. Something like a pit kiln

Or else, combustion.

yeah, ie. crafting log with charcoal and setting it on fire like pit kiln for lets say 8 hours

I can’t make cuts in the tree for resin
