Just in time for the patch I made for this for Better Architect Menu :) Thank you so much for this mod!

Updated to 1.6. There's an issue with the Magicyte Harvester not ejecting contents after 1.6, will need to look further into it.

@Gundam No problem! Just figured I'd ask, gave up trying to do it myself haha!

@Tailtia Unfortunately no, I haven't used Rimworld of Magic, sorry!

@Gundam Pharmacist Do you use Rimworld of Magic by any chance? Button to eject magicyte doesn't seem to work which is the only I've had so far! I was trying to figure out how to fix it myself, but not having any success :D

Update: Mod seems to be behaving in 1.6 after all the mentions of earlier visions were edited. However, the area of effect for the core seems to be a little off center.

Trying out this mod editing the XMLs to say 1.6, will inform what happens.

would absolutly love this mod updated and maybe some extra stuff added to if. like what adam said the vanilla cooking expanded or even medieval overhauls slop pot or maybe even dubs hygiene for hot tubs. so many ideas and possibilities. totaly looking forward to this mods future.

Please update for 1.6, thank you!

would more mod compatibility be possible?
vanilla extended stew pot variant would be interesting

Will there be an update to 1.6?

this is epic but ive heard theres a problem with the workbenches not inhertiting recipes from mods

@Spinecone:
I have this on 1.6 and the Magicyte harvester doesn't let me extract magicyte, other than that @Kryth was correct

needs steam pipes and stuff for the 1680 1740s steampunk workshops. which litearlly where just masses of pipes heating systems and automations all powered by steam purely.

Any news on if this works with 1.6, or whether the issues Kryth noticed have been fixed?

1.6 ?

I also noticed how this mod doesnt add in recipes from other mods that would be normally available in their vanilla variant, like I have VE Cooking and I cant bake with the Stonekettle, or make VE Armors chainmail and other recipes on the Stoneforge, but I can make VFE Medieval 2 weapons/armor. There is also the Charforge which has smelt, destroy, and burn options, but burn option doesnt work, you can set the bill for burn but it cant burn anything, destroy on the other hand works

The Forge doesnt seem to work with the VFE medieval 2 linkables, or tool cabinet, is this intentional, seems like an oversight when you mentioned its compatible with it

It seems only the Simple Research Bench from Medieval Overhaul can research the project, and not the Advanced one for some reason

Hmm yeah I dunno why, but it's not available to be constructed for me, it just doesn't show up anywhere

Yeah, the vanilla expanded meals don't work either, I want to bake things in my badass brick oven! Absolutely love the mod otherwise.

also "big and small" large meals in the stonekettle

it seems like the charforge and smokeforge arent inheriting recipes properly, vanilla expanded bronze as well as rimfactory materials coke coal recipes aren't avalible

I was messing around with it for a bit, and it looks like, for me, the "TextureLoadingPatches" in Performance Fish's option seem to have an effect. When I turn off the "ModContentLoader_LoadTexture" and restart the game, then the Charforge is showing up again. I don't know why the other items/textures don't have that issue though. I don't know a ton about textures and masks though, tbh. I'll do some more digging and testing when I can!

I am also having the issue with the Charforge's image not showing up. I was able to narrow down a mod called Performance Fish [github.com] (It is not on Steam, you have to download it directly from Github) causing it to disappear for the North and South Orientations (East/West worked fined.) When the mod is enabled, broken texture...when it isn't enabled...texture is fine. No errors show up, and the player log isn't really jumping out at me, so I don't know where to begin with trying to diagnose the issue, but I hope it helps you find it!

I tried doing a run where my tribe could only do research via Schematics and this was permanently unavailable due to it requiring a research bench on the map. Any chance that could be removed?

Is there any way we could get the Smokeforge to pick up mod recipes that are added to the regular smithy?

Anybody have suggests to force pawns to use the psyfocus booster? When I have them meditate near it, they just “meditate at wall”. Also, can you hook more than one station to a geyser core? I wasn’t noticing the work speed bonus when I tried connecting a second station

I still reproduce the invisible chargeforge issue.

I wasn;t able to reproduce the issue with the chargeforge but I did see there was some issues with it's mask. I hope the changes I did for it fixed the issues.

absolutely incredible stuff, I've built a workshop entirely centered on this thing. I adore it.
That said, just to reiterate as others have said, for some reason the char forge is invisible unless rotated so the interaction spot is on the left. no graphics otherwise. it's rather odd. it still WORKS when it's invisible, I can click on it and colonists will use it. but it's invisible. odd stuff.
Anyway, brilliant mod, many thanks to you, for your first bit of work you really knocked it out of the park here.

Great mod!!! my only suggestion would be possible to adjust the graphics so that each of the working stations "fits" with the core if you put them on all 4 sides, as it stands it looks kinda strange right now.

My Charforge is also invisible

Added the Psyfocus Booster. Provides a Big boost to psyfocus regen. Supports all mediation types. Requires Royalty DLC.

@Emilie Sackenball, I looked into this. I am not able to reproduce this.

the concept is great and hopeful it uses eventual some type of pipes
The Charforge does not have graphics its a transparent or non existent sprite, its the only building with this problem

@Latex Santa, I am not sure. You can try it using dev mode and just remove the mod if it doesnt work.

The Dawi support this

great mod, love it

@Salvador
Is this mod compatible with Terraform Rimworld?
That mod has research that allows the player to build steam geysers.
Will the Geyser Core and Magicyte Harvester be compatible with built steam geysers?

thank you for this mod!! i was just thinking about how my medieval play through is struggling with regulating heat/the geysers and how i wish i had different work benches. amazing timing, thanks again!!

Suggest: Allowing for piping to get that steam punk effect

@thesoupiest: What do you mean? it looks fine?

Just as I was researching Steampower from The End Times Dwarfs, this mod pops up.. Checking it out soon as possible :)

I see good ideas posted in the discussion , I was looking for more ways to give the geysers more strategic value. I will look into expanding this more.

@thesoupiest, good idea, I am not an artist, just a developer.

@Samuel_Bucher, all the work benches are designed to also work alone. When they do, they use wood for fuel.

Adding this to my mod list as soon as there's a retexture

This is amazing. Being able to take advantage of geysers is something medieval runs have been missing for a long time!

A suggestion: have you considered also supporting Dubs Bad Hygiene? There's already a geothermal water heater in there, just need to update it with a graphic that matches this.

@Sapphic completely agreed, though could the magicyte harvester be reworked into maybe an eltex or psycharge harvester with VPE?

A good mod, I approve!

Why is it called a smokeforge if it uses steam?
