Saw Blade Mould

Description

<p>Adds a saw blade mould to the game, craftable from all three clay types (red, fire, blue) with matching mould textures (see version note below) in line with base-game mould behaviour.&nbsp; Recipe takes 100 units of metal like other tool moulds and gives one saw blade when hardened.</p> <p><strong>This mod significantly changes game progression.</strong>&nbsp; Consider carefully before using it solo, or adding it to a multiplayer server.</p> <h3>Warning for new players (contains progression spoilers)</h3> <p>Crafting the first saw blade is a major step in the crafting mechanics in Vintage Story.&nbsp; This mod shortcuts the process, making progress much, much easier.&nbsp; I do not recommend this mod for first time players.&nbsp; Experienced players will understand how powerful this mod is and can use their own judgement.&nbsp; If new players want to know why, read the spoiler, but it is a spoiler:</p> <div class="spoiler"> <div class="spoiler-toggle">Spoiler!</div> <div class="spoiler-text">Why do I consider this mod cheating? Without this mod, you have to collect enough copper to make an anvil (900 units) and a hammer (100 units), and then the ingot for the actual blade (100 units).&nbsp; This means you have to collect at least 1100 units of copper (or bronze alloy) to craft your first saw blade and be able to make planks, which opens up some very powerful items such as chests and solid doors.&nbsp; With this mould, you need only 100 units of copper (20 nuggets) and some clay.&nbsp; If you're new, play through the vanilla saw creation as a learning experience.</div> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Versions for 1.21 and 1.22:</h3> <p>Clay and ceramics changed a little bit between 1.21 and 1.22, and I've had to rework my three mould mods.&nbsp; Many thanks to <a class="mention username mceNonEditable" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/user/51FF3B2C1EA9ACB4AE13" data-user-hash="51FF3B2C1EA9ACB4AE13">Spike88</a> for helping me realise this without playing 1.22!&nbsp; As a result of this rework, the most recent versions of these mods will only work with 1.22 and beyond. Updating the 1.21-compatible version will likely cause ghost items.&nbsp; The older versions will also work with 1.22, but with 1.21-style features (no coloured ceramics from a beehive kiln; no earthy orange texture from a pit kiln).&nbsp; Here's how to determine which version to use:</p> <ul> <li>You have a 1.22.n server and haven't had this mod on it yet: Use the latest version marked 1.22 only.</li> <li>You have a 1.20/1.21.n&nbsp; server and haven't had this mod on it yet: Use the latest version marked 1.21-compatible.&nbsp; Do not use the most recent release.</li> <li>You have a 1.22 server you've updated from 1.20/1.21 and you were using this mod under 1.20/1.21: Use the latest version marked 1.21.&nbsp; <strong>Do not update</strong> to the most recent release unless you're sure you can first destroy all moulds created under the old version of the mod.</li></ul>
