doesnt work on 42.12

in real life me and my famaly use so much you would never assume to be in a composter. you can turn so much in there and get good stuff after a long time. crazy this needs to be a mod tho. thanks man.

Hey @FishLord so this mod add new recourse: grass clipping and wood chips which can rot?
Do u need to add water in composter?

Thanks for the mod, now I can finally have compost at the start! But since I use Grass Cuttings, and I need to process thousands of them one by one into Grass Clippings to fill my composters, that takes two or three ingame days. Would it be possible to decrease the time, or rather turn 10 or 20 or 50 Grass Cuttings into Clippings Pile at once, with a new recipe?

Great mod! Love the idea of using more things to compost. One suggestion: when we create woodchips from items, can that grant Carving xp?

Thanks much, yeah that can be an issue if you change base items. ive always opted for custom items personally though I do sometimes just reuse icon assets..but again thanks for that really helps with my low loot play through.

I wasn't able to find any way to fix the rotten twigs issue so I've reworked the B42 version of the mod to no longer allow them and grass cuttings to rot. Instead they now need to be crafted into wood chips or grass clippings which can rot and be turned into compost. Hopefully this makes the mod less intrusive overall and won't prevent you from being able to get fresh twigs.

might want to fix the twig rotten issue (or remove twigs entirely) as there are other mods that use base twig item for crafting and no can no longer craft since the base item was changed.

Can you make it so manure can be used for compost as well. Also irl they add dirt into composts detrivore type insects (worms, springtails, potato bugs/roly polies) to do the actual composting.

Yeah sorry I'm not sure what causes that, it doesn't have much effect on the game though you can still use twigs as normal so I didn't make it a high priority to fix it.

Having trouble with the mod - All plants removed including trees are no longer giving fresh twigs they are always rotten. Im 3 months in.

I'm always sawing hundreds of logs and the thought came to me why is there no sawdust. If it would be possible to make sawdust a compost-able by product of plank manufacture that would be amazing. Cool mod by the way, thank you.

Does rotten grass now mean I'll lose food at some point over winter to decay? If so, is this the mod or vanilla? Thanks!

Yes ! Thank You !

Oh yeah good idea, I forgot about those. Maybe other wood items like branches could be recycled into wood splinters through a crafting recipe which can then be composted

Hm, understandable, I guess splintered wood would be one then

I want to avoid making too many items decayable, as it might become annoying to deal with. I chose twigs and scrap wood in the first place because they are just junk items without much use. I'll look into dung though! It should realistically be able to be used as fertiliser just by itself.

In real life dung can be transformed into compost. Is there a way to make that happen?

I guess I'm mostly thinking food items, like ketchup (since mayo already goes bad) and candies like chocolate, snack cakes and cookies, they can take long to go bad but they definetely go stale, and bad over a long long time, other than that, tree branches, but maybe those would be too big, either way, even with just the current stuff this is really nice, it's very novel to see non-food rot, and I wish I could eat it if I was hungry enough, pfff

Thanks a lot! What other similar items did you have in mind? I'm open for any suggestions

I really love this, and I really like that you made it so that twigs and scrap wood can rot, I hope this will be the case for similar items

Yep, planning to update to B42 at some point soonish and make the new grass cuttings a compostable item

Is there a b42 version of this in the works? Speeding up the composting process with lime would be kinda nice also Awesome mod!

Can i turn my wife into compost with this?

Ive always wanted a mod like this

is there any way to compost stuff without it being considered food?

Thank you for your mod! Very nice :)

Thank you and thanks for this mod. This is one of those 'just makes sense' mods.

Yeah should work without any issues

Can this be added to an existing save?
