Hardcore Water : Transport Edition

Overview

Originally, this mod prevented water from being placed by buckets; now that source bucket prevention is a vanilla world option with VS 1.20.x, this mod is more focused on transportation methods to move water around.

This mod currently adds:

  • Aqueduct sections
    • Can be made with 3 bricks and 1 mortar (creates 3 sections), or a debarked log and resin (creates 1 section, requires hammer and chisel).
    • One section must be connected to a source block to propagate water along a length of sections.
    • <span style="color: #e74c3c; --darkreader-inline-color: var(--darkreader-text-d35400, #ff8738);" data-darkreader-inline-color="">Aqueducts must be contiguous in their placement; a break or gap in the aqueduct will not allow water to transfer.</span>
    • <span style="color: #e74c3c; --darkreader-inline-color: var(--darkreader-text-d35400, #ff8738);" data-darkreader-inline-color="">Aqueducts can feed other aqueducts when placed next to each other, but only one-way.
      </span>
      • <span style="color: #e74c3c; --darkreader-inline-color: var(--darkreader-text-d35400, #ff8738);" data-darkreader-inline-color="">90<span class="expandableItem">° turns are possible, but must be created by branching off of the supplying duct without breaks or gaps.</span></span>
    • Enclosed aqueducts which cannot feed aqueducts from the side, but can be used in room walls without affecting room integrity.

Config Settings (VintageStoryData/ModConfig/HardcoreWater.json)

  • AqueductUpdateFrequencySeconds: Sets how often aqueducts are allowed to update, in seconds; defaults to 0.75.

Future Plans

  • Mechanical screw pumps and/or water-lifting devices; moves any adjacent water upward when powered; helpful for when water is needed at a higher elevation than nearby source blocks.

Known Issues

  • Visual glitches can sometimes occur when adjacent to filled aqueducts and the camera is turned.
  • <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Water will not flow out of an aqueduct section downwards unless a full block is placed below the end section.</span> Fixed with v1.20.x-1.3.3 release.
  • No compatibility yet with Wildcraft Trees.
