im rlly excited for the update, feel free to take as much time as you need good sir :3

love this mod! remeber 2 take ur time and dont wear urself out

@Argón
I understand. Believe me, these are good mods.
I like them very much. I know you're a real human bean, with his own concerns.
You're not a 40K tech-priest or servitor that only does modding and occasional self-maintenance.
You have your own life and modding is just one activity among many. It will take time to update.
And I'll just have to wait.

Gee! Thanks for the nice words :D

We believe in you are truly blessed to have such competent and involved modders as you for our favourite game! Sending you good vibes and gratefullness from France

Believe me, I'm more willing to get these done than anyone else. It's difficult, though, to try to come up with something that offers both a nice gameplay and satisfies me.

Yeah, I'm not holding out hope for an update this year.
And as for Expanded Materials - Plastics? HAH. God only knows when that will be done.
It's fine. They're very nice to have, but I can live without them, somehow.

Still in hope of a 1.6 update, your mods are really missing

Glad to hear a remake is planned. I really miss making Dub's Hygiene fixtures out of porcelain, feels weird and wrong to be using steel or wood

I second the interest in praying to the porcelain god. I always go looking for this mod as a high priority when I reinstall the game as one of the most important materials. I don't mind having to really work for it too (I like "realistic" as possible while still remaining fun). Thanks for working on it!

That's an amazing idea! Great to see you back in the game Argon, been a long time fine of expanded materials.

I intend to do so, don't worry. The new DLC feature to make sculptures will also make porcelain a great stuffable.

Hey Argon! Like everyone else I'm going back through older modlists to see what will work with the latest update. I really miss this one from my lists to add a bit of depth to my resource production. If you're looking at reworking this mod I'll reiterate a request I made years ago; could you add porcelain as a stuffable material so I can build Dubs Bad Hygeine toilets out of it? it just makes sense!

I'll consider it for the mod's rework coming up.

I'd love for clay to get some love in rimworld again. If you have the time spare (which i know is unlikely when developing a mod), I feel like there's potential for some fun integrations! food storage, preparation, and decoration in neolithic/tribal era... crucibles and high-heat-tolerance tools in medieval era... nonconductive and high resilience components in industrial... glass-ceramic or metal-ceramic composites and exotic-use materials in spacer and glitterworld eras...

I just think there's fun to be had with clay! Just my little request, consider it if it appeals to you!

Can't wait until this is updated and released. Such a good addition to my play throughs!

You can always ask for help in my Discord server

definitely on my 1.6 list if it's really going to be updated for it, I really love mods that add intermediates and new resources, especially such colorful ones :D

I might just have to learn how to bash XML's together to make "Compatibility" between mods XD

@Argón
It's perfectly acceptable, since 1.6 is just around the corner.
I'll be waiting for a bit, personally, so that the mods I want hit 1.6 before I start playing again, anyway.
Can't imagine playing without Replace Stuff, Simple Sidearms, Run and Gun, RimHUD, Allow Tool, and so on.

I'm sorry for that. This mod came out rushed and bugged with 1.5, and the remake took me some time to design. Since the new changes in VE Framework for 1.6, I think the rework will come out for 1.6 and likely won't be 1.5 compatible.

I wont' lie, that I'm a little sad this wasn't updated to 1.5 before the 1.6 drop. I would've windmill slammed this into my modlist if it was. (Given I'm likely going to be stuck on 1.5 while I wait for a few key mods to get updated/picked up and adopted)

any idea why the digging spot is bugged? i have loaded only harmony and vanilla expanded framework. the colonists will just stand at the spot, switching between "standing" "digging". They will never produce anything. When i move them away from the spot and prioritize it, they will stand still and not even move towards the spot anymore.

The update is in progress, and so far, 1.6 hasn't broke anything relating to the code of my framework or mods. It's just now a bit delayed until VE updates their framework so I can update my mods and release new ones. I need to finish maybe one or two code features of this mod before I release its definitive edition. I just have been really in a convoluted state for the last two months, working on many different things among commissions and book work.

What do you do because 1.6?

Woods suggestion: 'Expanded Woodworking' is alright yet some stuff could be deeper. Like different lumber could affect bow qualities (including CE)

I will rework woods when the time come. It'll be simple but I hope entertaining.

Maybe you could make an alternative mod to woodworking expanded

Just know that a lot of people really appreciate your work and effort, and that your stuff is amazing and that's why some people can get a bit eager!

But yes, take your time <3

I'm not mad. I sometimes wish I could be faster, mainly because I myself do want to have stable mods.

@Argón
I'm sorry for ragging on you like that.
But it certainly feels like a year sometimes.

@argon
Zero pressure. Take all the time you need to have fun creating stuff!

I don't have a team like VE and I care to bring something that doesn't just look like bloat, for I game I don't precisely play every single day. I know it takes time, but I prefer to take some in spite of making a mod I actually feel satisfied with.

@lol
It'll take another year, sorry. XD

1.5 pretty please

and you could also use it for things like kitchen decor and sinks / toilets from dubs bad hygiene :>

@InvitedRhino683
I second this motion.

if youre updating this mod, do you think you could add in a small cleanliness bonus for things made of porcelain ? could make it an early game alternative to sterile tiles :>

there are mods that uses Cement too, if you're gonna do a rework just keep that in mind

It's in the works at the moment. Shouldn't take much longer to release.

I am waiting for an update

would love this for 1.5

#Rework (?)

I'd like to recommend adding how/where to obtain specific items in the info tab. I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to get cement and sand for my floor. On this page I see that sand comes from the digging spot; So In game I built the digging spot and my (Pawns)miners will not touch it whatsoever.

Thank you for your effort :)

I like your mods! :D

@Argón
Good news indeed. Thanks for the update.

I'm in the process. I can't give a date, but as soon as I finish working on the digging system. The rest of the content which is not a lot of complicated things should be done quicker.

Pleas notice me when theare will be a update

please when

Yes, Jon is correct. If you can make the dirt, act like your sand and add an option to terraform and place sand, dirty, and dig for shallow water it would bring great functionality to this mod. Beside that, how far do you think you are from a 1.5 conversion. I have been waiting to start a new game. :)

Problem is that 2 mods cant work together if not patched or something because there will be duplicated items. Thats why it would be perfect if this mods add that functionality to terraform.
