Design, architecture, and testing are handled by a human, and a meaningful share of the code is hand-written as well; AI is used to execute well-defined coding tasks under direction. Every change is reviewed and verified before it lands in the codebase, and nothing reaches a release unless it meets the quality bar set for how the mod should look, feel, and behave in your game. If something falls short of that, please report it.</p> </div> <div style="margin: 0; padding: 18px 22px; background: hsl(42 100% 97%); border-left: 4px solid hsl(45 51% 54%); border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);"> <p style="margin: 0 0 10px; font-size: 0.78em; font-weight: bold; color: #3d6594; letter-spacing: 0.6px; text-transform: uppercase;">Unbench the quench</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 8px;">This mod gives you bits of metal back when a tool made of iron, meteoric iron, or steel breaks during quenching.</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 8px;">There is a 0-10% material loss during reclamation, so you get 90-100% of the metal back.</p> <p style="margin: 0;">Steel can only be reclaimed as iron due to a loss of carbon content during the reclamation process.</p> </div> <div style="margin: 16px 0;"> <div style="padding-top: 8px; font-size: 0.96em; line-height: 1.8; color: #333;"> <div class="spoiler" style="margin: 0; border-left: 4px solid hsl(45 51% 54%); border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0; overflow: hidden; background: hsl(42 100% 97%); box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.06);"> <div class="spoiler-toggle" style="padding: 12px 16px; background: hsl(42 60% 93%); font-size: 0.97em; font-weight: bold; color: #333; letter-spacing: 0.4px; text-transform: uppercase;">Configuration</div> <div class="spoiler-text" style="padding: 18px 20px; font-size: 0.96em; line-height: 1.8; color: #333; border-top: 1px solid #aaa; background: hsl(42 100% 97%);">You can configure Nickelback by editing <code style="font-family: monospace; background: hsl(40 67.7% 95%); padding: 2px 6px; border-radius: 4px;">ModConfig/Nickelback.json</code>, generated automatically on first launch.</div> </div> </div> </div> <div style="padding-top: 8px; font-size: 0.96em; line-height: 1.8; color: #333;"> <div class="spoiler" style="margin: 0; border-left: 4px solid hsl(45 51% 54%); border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0; overflow: hidden; background: hsl(42 100% 97%); box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.06);"> <div class="spoiler-toggle" style="padding: 12px 16px; background: hsl(42 60% 93%); font-size: 0.97em; font-weight: bold; color: #333; letter-spacing: 0.4px; text-transform: uppercase;">Mod Compatibility</div> <div class="spoiler-text" style="padding: 18px 20px; font-size: 0.96em; line-height: 1.8; color: #333; border-top: 1px solid #aaa; background: hsl(42 100% 97%);"> <table style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 0.95em;"> <thead> <tr style="border-bottom: 2px solid hsl(42 60% 85%);"> <th style="text-align: center; padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #333; white-space: nowrap; width: 1%;">Status</th> <th style="text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #333;">Mod</th> <th style="text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #333;">Comment</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr style="border-bottom: 1px solid hsl(42 60% 90%);"> <td style="padding: 10px 12px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.2em;" title="Fully compatible">🟢</td> <td style="padding: 10px 12px; vertical-align: middle;"><a style="color: #3d6594; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/meteoricsteel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meteoric Steel</a></td> <td style="padding: 10px 12px; vertical-align: middle; color: #555;">Meteoric steel tools breaking return bits of meteoric iron.</td> </tr> <tr style="border-bottom: 1px solid hsl(42 60% 90%);"> <td style="padding: 10px 12px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; font-size: 1.2em;" title="Conflicting">🔴</td> <td style="padding: 10px 12px; vertical-align: middle;"><a style="color: #3d6594; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/smithingplus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smithing Plus</a></td> <td style="padding: 10px 12px; vertical-align: middle; color: #555;">Smithing Plus already implements similar functionality, no point using both mods simultaneously.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div style="margin-top: 10px; font-size: 0.88em; color: #666; line-height: 1.8; text-align: right;"> <div>Fully compatible 🟢</div> <div>Mostly compatible 🟡</div> <div>Conflicting 🔴</div></div></div></div></div></div>
