Medieval Industry (Core) v0.7

<h1 style="text-align: center;">IMPORTANT</h1> <p style="text-align: center;">Since v0.6.0, the core module is now at a fairly stable point.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Many previous features will be implemented as part of separate modules instead, these will be released when possible.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Will put up more screenshots/update ModDB image at some point soon.</p> <h1>Medieval Industry: Core<em><br /></em></h1> <p>The&nbsp;Core&nbsp;module focuses on simple changes to vanilla gameplay, with the addition of new recipes allowing for new or alternative processes, such as allowing rock blocks to be turned into loose stones, and stones into gravel and then into sand. This module also tweaks gameplay through patches, making changes like extending the burn time of peat.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This module also has the biggest decorative aspect out of all the modules, adding new blocks for fun. The gameplay changes and processes in the Core mostly relate to rock or agriculture directly.</p> <h2><a href="https://trello.com/b/VPrrNa0a/lithocraft"><strong>[Loose roadmap]</strong></a></h2> <h2>Features</h2> <h3 class="heading-element">Blocks</h3> <ul> <li>Ashlar stone "fence".</li> <li>(WIP) High polish rock.</li> <li>Decorative monolith pillars.</li> <li>Decorative gem blocks.</li> <li>Metal grates.</li> <li>Silage, usable as animal feed or an alternative composting process.</li> <li>Grindstone, for repairing most tools with a sharp edge.</li> </ul> <h3>Items</h3> <ul> <li>Stone tablets, can be written on like books.</li> <li>Pencils/styli, which can be used to write in books, stone tablets or signs.</li> <li>Claycutters, for cutting out certain clay shapes more easily/quickly.</li> </ul> <h3 class="heading-element">Tweaks</h3> <div class="markdown-body"> <ul> <li>Charcoal, brown coal (lignite) and black coal are usable in clay ovens.</li> <li>Full rock blocks (cracked/regular) in crafting with a pickaxe for a better yield of stones.</li> <li>Full blocks of ungraded ore (coal, sulfur and alum, etc.) in crafting with a pickaxe for a better yield.</li> <li>Gravel can be crafted from loose stones using a pickaxe.</li> <li>Sand can be crafted from gravel using a sieve.</li> <li>Textures in open crates for: <ul> <li>Loose stone, some ungraded ores/coals and clay.</li> <li>Many other vanilla items/blocks.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Peat burn time increased to 122s.</li> <li>Recipes for deconstructing some items made of stone, like wall fences and paths (supports More Roads).</li> <li>Recipes for making compost from hides.</li> <li>Recipe for cobbleskull.</li> <li>Recipe for making potash.</li> <li>Full slate roofing block</li> <li>New recipes of convenience for pottery and clay moulds.
