Leaf Lantern Lining

OBy OpPointBaker

quick and dirty mod for cheaper lantern linings.

Leaf Lantern Lining

Description

<p>What this does: allows players to make sheets of gold or silver leaf for lining lanterns during their initial construction.<br /><br />What this does not do: Allow leaf sheets to be added to already made lanterns. You will still need to use an entire plate per lantern for that.<br /><br />What this isn't meant to be: A realistic way of crafting metal leaf or applying it to lanterns. That would require C# coding that is well beyond my capapbilities. [For any modder who is into hard core realism, I encourage you to make a more realistic mod. You won't be stepping on my toes. ;) ]<br /><br />"Isn't this way too cheap?" According to the Wikipedia article on gold leaf, a single nugget of gold measuring 5 mm in diamiter will yeild half a square meter of gold leaf that is usually around a tenth of a micron thick [or 100 nanometers thick] using technology that has been mostly unchanged since the Egyptians were crafting it millenia ago. So, no, it is still an agreagous waste of metal, but again, this is supposed to be cheaper, not realisitic. ;)<br /><br />A note on updates, this mod should be fairly update-proof. Until there is a vanilla way to make sheets, a change in lantern, nugget, plate, or ingot recipes, updates <em>shouldn't</em> break this mod. That said, feel free to post any issues I will address them as soon as I can.<br /><br />Huge Thanks to JapanHasRice for helping my correct my bad syntax and to Spear and Fang for reworking the file structure so that it actually works now.&nbsp;</p>
