I am trying to stay away from modding a few days / a week

@River

Are you gonna have a way to have Thatch resource (required to build everything) ?

I saw , the DS tunnel mine is giving Iron Ore (not Iron), that too is OK ?
I also saw , that mine give things randomly, me, i've set so you can choose Iron, Coal or Stone. not random.

[RedKetchup]

if wondering what i am doing.... i started to transfert everything to River's Huts mod

a lot of editing files since everything changed folders and everything has changed names of files. ^^

[River]

All for which I am deeply grateful!! And, isn't there somewhere a thatch patch?

if you use RKEC , you get thatch/fodder on the ground when you generate the map. same with megamod.
colonial, i dont think.

thatch on the ground can only be gererated at launch of the map. Out of that i can add a farm, working like forester lodge, but instead he plants and harvest trees, he plants fodder thatch on the ground.

What mods do you use that modify how you generated a map and modify the starting conditions ?

I am playing the North right now, mild conditions, disasters on, forest, and I switch from survivor and gold hunters.

I was thinking, maybe a patch like the small flax and herbal ones?

But you will need to restart a new game with River's Huts mod on top of the list if you want me to generate herbs on the ground. if you want to still get The North maps ... the only option is givingg you a building to build that will generate herbs over time
whats about cotton ? need cotton too along the flax ?

[River]

It would be ok to start a new game for the set. I use Kid's tiny Herb and also the Flax patch. I don't usually need cotton. I use flax and sheep to make warm coats, or sometimes the sheep and leather.

After spending 2 whole days about a mine lol ( i really hate those mine you have to put on a mountain. last time i am doing one lol - i really prefer my quarries you can put everywhere you want ^^)

posting a screenshot of the River's Huts Mine

[RedKetchup]

sorry i cannot add anything on the map without screwing The North mod maps. all i can do to add a building. (seeds: it can take super long to get a boat to get a thatch seed, i think i can add the seeds though along with the building)

[RedKetchup]

@River I made your little River's Huts Fodder Farm

cost almost nothing to build : 12 logs

Fodder Farm

This screenshot has been taken at spring after the winter of the first year. It works well.
Also it will be a very good source of food
all kind of food

Where do these nests with eggs come from?

I am racking my brain trying to figure out how to make this for those animals in the new Mod and I don't know how to proceed.
I know about the pasture/farm animals, but are these scattered nests from wild animals? I don't know how to make wild animals drop the eggs in the wild.

Here a screenshot of the North 🙂 + Rivers Huts mod 🙂

The only thing with The North ... i don't know at all , in which limit i am gonna put the Fodder-Thatch !!!

Fuel ?? (you can see the North Limits. nothing called material or something )

The North and Rivers huts

Those are spawned by the grass by the fodder-thatch patches on the ground

If you dont use grass... you can make them spawn from the trees. just create a new natural resource like : NaturalResourceNecrolex.rsc and and give it the egg nest graphic (that spawn with the chicken) and link it to RawMaterialEgg.rsc

I'll take the idea and make them spawn near a specific plant, to make it look like they built a nest close to their favorite food source.

Thanks!
