I am no longer supporting this, I don't play Conan and I don't have the dev kit on my pc anymore. Use at your own risk, no adjustments or modifications will be made.

Why give us ten whole woods only one branch ? Intuitive I would say it has to be one wood to ten branches. O.o

Mod working fine for me in SP, didn't even have to relearn either of the above feats, recipes appeared immediately.

I am no longer able to activate this mod on any server. Something has definitely changed.

add to that, i also am not getting wood chips from other sorces like using picks on trees, it is back to barck. i will try the grinder trick sugested

really hate saying this but i think we need a update. i tracked the bug to this mod. or well the problem is not conflicting with any other mod. you cant chop wood to chips any more at the carpenters bench

far as I know there hasn't been an update that broke it, but I don't have the file to recompile if it did. If you do test it and find its no longer working please let me know.

I guess this is outdated

There has been no update that has required re-compiling. So I haven't updated it.

Hi, G-portal is reporting this mod as "Mod may be too old and no longer compatible"

@virtue - sorry for the slow response, the Devkit has been fighting me. Yes, I could add a new recipe to deal with branches I will have to find a way to keep it balanced with the current setup so as to not make it game breaking. Will have a look at this, thanks for the input.

Might there be a possibility of adding a "branches to chips" or "branches to dry wood" crafting option? The reason I ask is that I've found myself with an absolutely absurd number of branches—well more than I believe I will ever use, as I have an entire box filled with full stacks of them—and I would like to make them useful in other ways than just burning them.

Either way, this mod is honestly really nice, and the ability to easily farm resin in the desert helps with preparations for the crossing into the North quite a lot.

Yes and no, If you load my mod first then the stack mod it should overwrite my "wood chips" change and set the stack size, it would also use whatever localisation the stack size mod author has implemented. If you insist on smoking your meat with wood chips then not at this time...

Well then, I am using a stack mod and playing it in german. Well the the the items you provide is in english and there is no problem with it. The thing is that every item stacks to 1000 with a different mod and yours only to 100, is there a way for me to fix that or do i have to life with it? ~sorry for the bad language... its 5.49 am and i pulled 2 all nighters, so brain is to tired

No prob! Thank you for all the awesome mods :)

@Leeux - thanks for the message, it seems there was an update to the Steam Workshop agreement, and it didn't give me any kind of notification when I uploaded it, or on my profile, or even on my mods or workshop page. It's fixed now though, thanks.

Hey Voraga! Sorry to bother you with an off topic comment on this mod. Your other mod Expanded Cartographer Religion is set to hidden since a few days ago.

I received an update so I assume you did an upload and got bitten by the new behaviour of the devkit, which now by "default" sets to hidden any mod you upload it seems (or so I heard reported.)

I just wanted to let you know that, just in case you weren't aware of the issue... if you set it to hidden yourself by hand, then just ignore this message :)

Thank you! And sorry again :)

This has been a big time saver for me. Noticed that once I used a Pickaxe, I was getting a decent amount of wood chips when collecting wood (in comparison to just using the same tier Hatchet). Still, not enough to make this mod obsolete for me.

Awesome

@ Voraga - Got it, thank you sir!

@JewSyFur - did you activate the mod in the mods menu?

Cant find it, i installed, drank my yellow potion, re-build carpenters bench, no luck

@Titan - sometimes steam refuses to allow an update, I would check to be sure the server is running the latest version and then try a re-subscribe to the mod, I still don't know why it does this even if I don't change meta data. However, I had this issue when the SteamCMD wasn't actually updating the mod for the server I play on so that there was an endless missmatch.

Loving this mod but after the latest update the mod won't be validated by steam and we can't get it working on our server. No idea why so far, all clients having this issue on our server as well.

Wood into branches and painfully you say? That remind me of the last few scenes of Monsters Inc? This mod has been pretty useful thus far though and I'll have to check out the wood to branch feature now.

Actually not, as I did extend the branches abilities of the carpenter thralls, I'm currently working on adding many more recipies for the wood to branches onto the tiers of thrall. It's not finished yet :)

Well, maybe you could edit your description since it's not Wood to branches anymore ? "A simple mod to add the ability to chop up wood into branches and branches into wood chips (formerly Bark)." it's quite misguiding.

@Voraga - Thanks! pot did the trick :D

@knurdrage -- yes, BUT you if you learned the feat "Carpenter" before installing the mod it won't be avalible. you can use a yellow lotus potion to reset your feats. If you do that and it still isn't there let me know. Thanks for the comment.

i don't get it; does this mean with the mod i can break down wood @ the carpenter's bench and get wood chips & resin? cuz i've been trying and it doesn't work. do i need a lvl4 thrall in the bench first?

;)

i do think it will be a less pain in the ass if you didn't need to get a tier 4 carpenter for that, if you have the disadvantage of having a base a bit far from most named npc's like me.

Tier 4 carpenters have that recipie now in the base game so I removed it for right now, I'm looking at the balancing this causes. I may decide to set the recipes to all carpenter thralls at various efficiency. Feel free to post your thoughts on the changes in the changelog discussion.

I can't break down wood into branches? any idea how this can happen?

Cant break down my branches anymore, what am i suppose to do with my 10,000 sticks now.

@Maireen - will check, but I also found some missing 0's in the description. Thanks for the comment. Also a named thrall is a Tier 4 so it uses 1/2 as much materials as input, which is why I spend so much time hunting them down :D

My named thrall Sigyn converts 5 wood to 13 chips + 3 resin

@BlitzBlattlaus - Yes. High Tier Carpenters now do that, in Vanilla. So I expanded on it allowing all of the T4 carpenters (in vanilla it's only 1/4 of them) I may expand it so that T3 and T2 can also with less efficency, but I need to check the balancing of it to be sure the mod doesn't strip out the reason for having thralls.

If I can figure out how to add recipes dynamically I might make a server config that adds these recipies back in for players in a future build. Keep an eye on the change log for future releases, if there is enough requests I would be willing to upkeep two versions of this mod until I find a better solution.

Is there a reason you can't turn branches into wood chips anymore?

This needs to be made official >_>

When I 1st loaded the mod I didn't have the recepies (Hand, or carpenter's) so I couldn't actually use the mod. I had to reset all my feats then relearn the relevent ones to be able to get the recepies.

MOD ID= 1373805768

@Klarum, I do alot of smoking and it bugged the heck out of me that we were smoking and drying meat with "bark". As for the intermediate step I added it in case players needed branches for arrows, palisades, and the like.
However if your ONLY goal is wood chips (aka bark) then it becomes more time consuming.The aim was to balance the production with Vanilla gather rates so that it would scale better with higher rate servers.
Hope that answers your question, feel free to leave a comment about balancing if you feel it's wasting your time to go from wood to branch to bark and I'll take a closer look at the times and effects on gameplay.

Why change the name? And why add the branch extra step?? Just make it so bark can be stripped from wood logs. That would actually be realistic since the bark is still on the log when you cut it down.

@Voraga Thx, it works. Thats your mod id. :)

Honestly, this is a feature that should be in the game, you got a freakin' excellent idea, thks !

@Jone1988 Steam doesn't give me that directly, from the page address though I am seeing: 1373805768

No clue if it works or not, please let me know either way. Thanks

Do you have an id for this mod?
I want to transfer them to my server.

During the last update something in the metafile got altered (I think it was an extra space added to the title string) and it makes it so that you will recieve a mod mismatch when trying to connect to a server. Unsubscribe and resubscribe to the mod to fix your end.

Server Admins - Delete the WoodChips.pak file and copy over a fresh copy to fix the mismatch error on your side.

Sorry for the inconvienance, I do believe I found the cause of this (Author error) and will be careful not to adjust any of the MetaData for the mod, Steam doesn't seem to like to update the MetaData for some reason.

this should be a in game feature mate. great job
