I cant necessarily disagree with you but they are working towards fixing all the problems.

I really like all these updates and cant wait to see how they work now exactly.

I don't know why it won't let me remove this quote thing. Y'all may not be able to see it after i post but as i typed this i could see me trying to quote someone i didn't wish to quote. This is for Robshaw mostly. I have put in over 2300 hours into project zomboid and most of it all being hydrocraft. I enjoy it quite a lot so before you decide to make assumptions know what your saying atleast. I was pointing out for me personally after seeing hydrocraft for a long time a problem i been seeing with the mod. In no way do i hate it. I didn't come up with a solution since everyone in this game likes to create some of the items. When i first saw hydrocraft i saw it as a way that the game brought more realism. I really enjoy that factor. The ultimate problem being the OP nature of some of the items which as he stated has attempted to remedy via balancing. He has done this. Anchoring of items. Safes. The lowering of the capacity of the Ox cart and changed recipe. Before the changes to the Oxcart you literally got wrecked by someone who had several in there inventory and took everything. That is no longer possibly due to the multiple changes to the mod. A good bit of the more advanced items i find absurd such as blast furnace Recharge station steam hammer large junkyard. I don't mind them in the least but i just find it silly a person in an apocalyptic setting would say try to make a blast furnace. It takes a great deal of skill to construct one and most of the time what a survivor would probably want is just a smelter to recycle any metals they find and reshape into something more useful. Due to the blast furnace being "So essential" to most players to continue the ladder up on the hydrocrafting list the only fix i can see for this is either a more advanced recipe or to make it an admin spawn only item and for it to be anchored and unmovable item that admin teams place throughout the world. The recharging station looks a bit absurd to me. Thats just an art issue. I could see someone making something along these lines to charge things up so this doesnt bug me. Just a simple art change would probably make me happy. To what i don't know just something that visually looks less absurd. steam hammer cant really think of a fix but it is necessary for a few things. probably just an art change and make it less absurd. I like making rocket launchers so i really don't mind this past it looks kinda silly. To reiterate i enjoy hydrocraft an awful bunch just as of late i see more people just sitting in the woods subsisting of there rabbit hutches cows and such and no need to go out into the world to get resources to keep surviving. The hydrocraft items provide effective infinite resource at next to nothing taking away the challenge of surviving.

Hydrocraft as a whole makes it really easy to survive. Why not instead of making the rabbit die make the hutch break after so many uses.

Where at is it?

I been thinking about it for a bit on how to make a "zombrex" for this game. It would need level 10 farming to plant the rare plants for it then 10 first aid to make it into a medicine then you need professional lab to process it which i believe takes level 10 carpentry to make it. Then you would need level 10 electrical to make the device that administers the medication and it gets equipped like armor and stops the zombification. Wish i knew how to code cuz i do it. also the solar park should be a generator instead of a battery charger.

So with the Fir Tree could you not get rid of potted banana tree/any of the trees and create them as a tree we cn grow and interact in a different way. To me it doesnt make much sense to have potted trees really for ever and would be pretty cool to grow them.

So this is a surviving game but there are ridicolous items such asa Blast Furnace and many others that would be something you could reasonably make in an apocalyptic setting. Why not redo that whole system and base it around the smelter but instead of using Charcoal to make the Steel ingot you have to use so many coal instead. Also with the Potted plants i can get some of it but why not with the Apple Tree and stuff make it more like the Fir Tree where its a standing thing in the game to grow and interact with to get apples/bananas etc etc from. Hydrocraft has so much potential but instead were getting crazier and more convoluted stuff in it.

So with the Chicken Coop and Rabbit Hutch we can effectively put an item in it and it produces that animal. Could we not do the same thing with plants and call its greenhouse but in this case you can put up to some many types of potted plants in it to grow at once.

Is there a place people can post things they would like to see added to Hydrocraft? I want to get into modding but i have to ya know first learn how to do it.

Is this a spoiler of some sort saying that there is something like that there but you didn't list it? If it is there please do tell.

Ill keep posting it in here to see how people would like it but would it be possible if we had something akin to Zombrex. Doesnt cure the virus but delays it as long as you take it.

Im curious about the Tar Kiln what is it under. Also with a lot of the stuff is there an immediate use for them or is this just parts your dropping in for later updates? Also i want to get into modding but I'm a dirty person who has a mac book and have no idea where to start. I would appreciate if someone here could point me in the right way. I have also always wanted to see two things added. Barb Wire that can be crafted and something akin to Zombrex.
