This is the perfect mod for people with RSI

vernal adder May 18, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

I can't find a settings file on the server and changing the values (e.g. knapping voxels 8) doesn't change anything. it's still 1. harvesting animation is faster, but has a cooldown = same speed overall

#

also, why are there 2 threads? 😄

rugged kestrel May 22, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

The other thread has new been removed (I need a mod to delete it fully).

#

Can you open an issue on GitHub, please.

https://github.com/ApacheTech-VintageStory-Mods/ApacheTech.VintageMods.Knapster/issues

I'll need your log files, and game/mod versions.

Hi Apache, two questions;

Is there any intent to expand the non-voxel features (harvesting/panning) to other repetitive actions, like leaf shearing and farmland ploughing?
I've been using the mod for a long time because of carpal tunnel issues, but still find issue with clayforming because of how big some clayforms can get (ovens, vessels, etc). Is 8 voxels per action/click a hard limit, or would it be possible to get the upper limit of the voxels range increased?

rugged kestrel May 25, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

Eight voxels isn't a hard limit, no. But, there is a performance trade-off. I set it to 8 as a limit because it still seemed to fit with vanilla, to a degree. I could add an option to instantly complete the clayforming/knapping. What would you say as a suggestion for a hard limit? Given that 4096 is the max number of voxels possible in a single block.

I can also definitely add shearing, and ploughing... well, I can look into them, at least. Are there any other menial tasks that could have a boost?

rugged kestrel May 25, 2023, 4:58 AM

#

So far as Instant Complete goes... initial testing looks good. I'll have something ready for next week.

stiff violet May 25, 2023, 9:08 AM

#

Id suggest either 16 or 32 as tje high end of range for clayforming; not entirely too high but very big boost to speed for larger clay forms, but an autocomplete would be just as welcome.

Re: other tasks; my main grievance is mostly speed, so being able to speed up the action like with scythes and panning is all I can ask for, though I'm sure it might be a bigger ask since they're block affecting and not entity (I.e the scythe acting on grass, pan acting on itself not the panned block, converse with shearing & ploughing), but I'll be thankful for it being considered.

Thanks for the responses - if you push anything out, I'll right on it to give it some thorough testing & feedback for you

bug: left-clicking on a knapping base without having selected a recipe crashes the game.
i would imagine knapster is looking for selected recipe on left-click to determine which pixels to remove/add and doesn't include a failsafe to ignore interactions on blank bases

rugged kestrel Jun 14, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

Thanks. I think I have that on the backlog already. But if not, I'll add it.

#

Issue: CTD while using the EasyKnapping feature
    Given a user has the EasyKnapping feature enabled,
    When they do not have any recipe selected,
    And they left-click the knapping surface,
    Then null-checks should return early, so no CTD occurs.

merry laurel Jul 20, 2023, 6:40 AM

#

Here's an off the wall question: Is it possible to determine if a player has successfully knapped/formed/smithed an item previously? The intent would be to disallow the auto-complete function until the player has in effect 'learned' the action by doing it once.

That would be cool. Maybe even being able to set amount you need to make to "auto-craft" it?

The more you craft the more voxels it manipulates at once? Obviously this would take it out of the purely QoL/accessibility area but still 🙂

@rugged kestrel hey did you abandon the mod?

rugged kestrel Oct 21, 2023, 9:41 PM

Funny you should say that. Tonight, I updated my game, and started updating my core libraries for 1.18. I'll be updating Knapster over the next few weeks; along with a few of my other mods.

There are a couple of issues with Smithing, especially if you rotate the work item, or try using instant-complete on a Bloom.

rugged kestrel Oct 23, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

v2.6.1:

Fixed: EasySmithing auto-completion doesn't properly take rotation into account.
Fixed: EasySmithing iron blooms waste voxels on instant complete.
Fixed: EasySmithing commands change the wrong settings.

distant dirge for some reason only flint snapping works for me

Same, at least the old version then i updated and it works

#

You've made sure the setting is enabled at least?

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 12:35 AM

#

graceful pollen Same, at least the old version then i updated and it works

Yeah I'm using the latest version, game latest version as well, I enable all of them, for some reason they give an error msg

#

#

I don't use any other mod

#

yeah I'm testing with cmd, the knapping works normally but when I try to disable or enable it, it gives me those error

graceful pollen Oct 25, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

In your mods folder?

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 12:49 AM

yeah

#

should it be something else but zip because the mod does show up normally in my mod list

All the mods I've got installed work from .zip

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 12:51 AM

weird

I check the mod setting another way and everything is on normally

idk what is wrong here

you've got it in (picture 1) and not (picture 2) correct?

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 12:58 AM

\Vintagestory\Mods

yeah

#

I got this error when I click on "Mod Folder" in the game, maybe this is the source of issue?

#

Maybe? I'm absolutely certain Vintage Story hates spaces

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 1:02 AM

#

hmmm...

#

any solution?

graceful pollen Oct 25, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

if that is what's causing the problem then it wouldn't load the 3 main 'mods' you need being these files:

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

yeah weird

#

I haven't played the game for over a year and come back to these error I didn't run into before so I'm not sure what changed

graceful pollen Oct 25, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

which would mean the game wouldn't let to load a world in the first place.... so clearly it's able to read from the folder

#

Oh!

#

what version of Vintage Story are you playing on?

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 1:04 AM

it shows like that with others too

graceful pollen Oct 25, 2023, 1:16 AM

#

Got it

#

So you want it disabled?

#

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

No I want all of them enable normally but for me the clay forming (and possibly others as well)to work because my issue is only knapping work, the other features seem not to work

graceful pollen Oct 25, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

when clay forming do you have the paintbucket icon?

#

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 1:28 AM

oh there is no icon for me

#

now mentioning it, I felt weird there was no option

#

because I remember there was

graceful pollen Oct 25, 2023, 1:29 AM

#

I have NO clue what could be causing this, just that updating it fixed it for me.

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 1:29 AM

no i mean like... NO ICON at all

#

no vanilla options either

graceful pollen Oct 25, 2023, 1:30 AM

Well with how little mods you have it's a wonder why anything broke at all

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 1:37 AM

#

I think maybe something within the game internal

#

because the vanilla things didn't show

#

if a full reinstall doesn't work still, I will ask and check if the whole MSI file name may cause issue

#

because my default folder name is MSI PC which there is a space

graceful pollen Oct 25, 2023, 1:39 AM

#

Well mines (myname) PC

distant dirge Oct 25, 2023, 1:39 AM

I install it in my F disk (which is SSD)

#

I don't think it has any space in it

I installed version 2.6.1 which requires game version 1.18.15. I checked my game version number and even tried rolling back to 2.6.0, but the mod still says "unable to load mod. Check log files"

I put the zip file in the mod folder as usual but I can't find a solution or even reason for it not working. Am I the dumb?

rugged kestrel Oct 27, 2023, 9:36 AM

#

What OS are you using, and what does it say in the log files?

gusty orchid Oct 27, 2023, 1:54 PM

#

Scratch that. It was me. I'm the dumb. I accidentally had version 2.4.2 and 2.6.1. Since the zip files were named differently, 2.4.2 didn't show up when I searched for "Knapster" to clear out old version in my mods folder.

Assuming that you already downloaded and extracted the Vintage Story for Linux, navigate to the game folder and run run.sh or Vintagestory directly.

Nope. Do not assume. I have a file that was downloaded from the website. Start from there, and explain it step by step, without missing anything. The only thing you should assume is that I have no idea even where to look on the screen, at every single step. Guide me through every single click.

With the smithing issues you have there, it doesn't seem to be anything to do with Knapster. It doesn't even say you have knapster loaded at the time. It's an issue with how the game itself is unloading GUI windows. But, by the time you start smashing the anvil with the hammer, Knapster is done with all the GUI stuff. I've tested in single-player, and I can't reproduce the bug at all.

The only crashes you have there, where Knapster is enabled, it can't find an item called "dogtoy", which is nothing to do with any of my mods.

rose leaf Aug 12, 2024, 4:36 PM

hm.. odd the mod that adds the dogtoy is not even loaded or installed anymore.. ill look much deeper for ya soon

i guess i should mention its a heavily modded server and the crash is only clientsided.

rugged kestrel Aug 12, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

The world you're in is still trying to find the dogtoy. There must still be one in a chest, or on the ground somewhere, that the game is trying to load. I saw it was only a client-side crash.

Just wanna say here as someone who’s way more comfortable using a controller that this mod is so so helpful, knapping / forming is very difficult using an analog stick. I know it’s not the intended purpose but it’s made my play so much more enjoyable.

pliant totem Aug 1, 2025, 8:23 PM

#

can you give a example command to enable easy knapping? ive tried but every commadn i try says it doesnt exist

#

young blaze Aug 2, 2025, 1:33 PM

#

just taking a quick moment to thank you for this
while i do enjoy knapping and clayforming (and still smith manually because i enjoy it that much), doing it for long absolutely wrecks my wrist, and i already have to worry about carpal tunnel from like, a lot of the things i do
-# aka thank you for saving ppls wrists

Would changing the compatibility of smithing to Anvil Metal Recovery Revived instead of the original AMR be doable? Currently only the Revived works on 1.21, AMR hasn't been updated officially since... 1.16, looks like.

#

I'd have tried redirecting any patches to AMRR instead of AMR, but I can't do anything with .dlls. 😅

Clear your cache/unpack folder in the VS directory.

#

Confirm that there's only one knapster server and knapster client config in global, as well.

rugged kestrel Oct 9, 2025, 1:44 PM

Yeah, delete your cache and ModsByServer folders, and it will download and cache everything fresh.

I just added knapster to my server to get some friends who find knapping annoying to play but currently its just my friends and i playing who like knaping and all the other stuff. Does anyone know how i can set us all to the blacklist for all features without going one by on and doing it?

rugged kestrel Oct 26, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

Set it to whitelist, and only whitelist the players that want it. It is per-feature though.

#

If it's just the knapping bit you want, and only for some players, disable all other features, and whitelist Knapping.

any help with fixing knapster? for some reason frames keep dropping to single digits or so when knapping even when lowering graphics to absolute minimum and low

Without knowing many more details, there's not much I can do. Please use the issue tracker linked on the mod page.

I've recently found that the Anvil Metal Recovery mod adds multiple seconds worth of lag when smithing. It could be something similar.

Nvm. It was related to knapster settings by deleting my settings and the servers settings one of those fixed it

"every time I try to knap something the game crashes and says knapster is the cause." from the mod page comments. I doubt it'd work, but after stable, Apache will update things. Usually within a month or so after stable, so it's in the pretty near future overall. 👍

For the time being, I think there's another option: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/45540

AutoSmith

This mod adds a new tool mode to the hammer, "Automatic." This will automatically smith for you as long as you keep hammering. Will remove slag, move voxels, and remove excess in that order
Easier knapping for smithing for those with low manual dexterity.

It's been chaotic recently, and so I will post an update here with information. It is very humbling to read all your comments, and that so many people are asking how they can help.

Important Information

In November 2025, I was a victim of Identity Theft. The attackers gained access to all my files, documents, browser profiles, banking information, card details, and all my passwords. Years worth of data that was saved on my machine.

Within a few days, they had emptied my bank accounts, taken over my PayPal account, and locked me out of my email, and banking apps. My Microsoft and Google accounts were both compromised, and the machine I have been lovingly building for the past 10 years was trashed.

Over the past few months, I have been trying to re-build my life, and re-coup whatever losses I can, financially; but I've still lost several thousand pounds that I won't be able to recover. It's been a horrible ordeal that has left me with very little. I have had to go back over my whole life, and change every password I've ever set, for every website. I've had to deal with PayPal customer service, which was a nightmare. I've had multiple fraud cases open with the banks, who have all been amazing. I've had to come to terms with the fact that my entire life is now sitting on someone else's computer somewhere, and they are picking through it bit by bit. After nearly six months, I was still getting hundreds of dollars taken from my account to pay for some gift card from a site I'd never heard of.

Luckily now, I am mostly back to normal, from a security point of view. My banks are safe. My PayPal is safe. It's starting to feel like it's all over. But I've lost a huge amount in the process. Thank you to everyone who has reached out in this time. All your support, and words of encouragement have been truly inspiring. Some people have asked whether it is safe to still donate, or buy me a coffee, or join my Patreon. I can thankfully now say that yes, it is. And all support is greatly appreciated. Links are available on the mod page. Thank you to everyone, this is an amazing community. Thank you for your patience, and thank you for being you.
