Lifeways: Core

<h1><strong>Overview</strong></h1> <hr /> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Lifeways: Core</strong> is the core mod of my (still in early-development)&nbsp;<strong>Lifeways</strong> series of mods, focusing on adding new and interesting ways of interacting with the basic mechanics of life in Vintage Story (food production, primarily), inspired by a diversity of cultures from around the world and their histories:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/lifewayscacao">Lifeways: Cacao</a></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Lifeways: Core&nbsp;</strong>is not just a library mod, though - it adds items, devices, recipes and so on that are shared between the&nbsp;<strong>Lifeways</strong> mods - and which are also useful in the vanilla game!</p> <h1><strong>Content</strong></h1> <hr /> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="spoiler"> <div class="spoiler-toggle" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">New Devices</span></div> <div class="spoiler-text"> <h3>Wet Mill</h3> <p>A version of the vanilla Quern that outputs only on one side - and which can output liquids into adjacent liquid containers!</p> <p><img style="border-style: inset;" src="https://i.imgur.com/h04hHAa.png" alt="" width="211" height="193" /><img style="border-style: inset;" src="https://i.imgur.com/WVEkYA6.png" alt="" width="222" height="193" /></p> <div class="spoiler"> <div class="spoiler-toggle">How it works</div> <div class="spoiler-text"> <p>When the Wet Mill grinds something that grinds into a liquid item, rather than being put into the output slot, it checks for a liquid container on the side with the spout. If that block is empty, it then procedes to check the block below that, and continues on downwards until it finds a block. If that block isn't a liquid container, it will spill the output on the ground. If it is a liquid container (and is neither full nor contains a different liquid), it will put the liquid inside it!</p> <p><img style="border-style: inset;" src="https://i.imgur.com/ItZfrl2.png" alt="" width="300" height="388" /></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="spoiler"> <div class="spoiler-toggle"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">New Food!</span></div> <div class="spoiler-text"> <h3>Condensed Milk</h3> <p>Make your milk last longer by simmering it with honey! As a bonus, it's extremely densely-packed nutrition!</p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/MN4yZjO.png" alt="" width="471" height="105" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/nyR3fA2.png" alt="" width="339" height="105" /></p> </div> </div> <h1>Compatibility</h1> <hr /> <p>Lifeways: Core is designed with compatibility in mind - but at present, there isn't much potential for conflict to begin with! The Wet Mill grinds exactly the same as the vanilla quern, by consulting the item's&nbsp;<code>grindingProps</code>. This means it can grind anything the quern can - the only additional functionality is looking for a liquid container to output into, instead of putting liquid grinding results in the output slot (which results in buggy behavior).</p>
