I just released version 0.3.0 of this mod.
Changes:
Allows you to bulid a project even if you lack the skill requirements. Attempting this may FAIL though, losing crafting ingredients in the process and injuring the player.

A simple mod that displays release notes for mods supporting this.
On startup, the mod checks if any mods have updated versions with release notes, and displays a popup displaying them. Requires support from the mod.

Cool, thank you for the exhaustive information there
 
It might be worth checking to make this a complementary mod as the functionality really isn't limited to this one.

UPDATE
I have updated this to v3.0.0 with a much nicer tooltip rendering for the doorknob.

Fsck it... I left debug code in that won't work without my personal debug lib.
Please use this cleaned up version. The earlier version will NOT work correctly.
Alternatively, remove all lines containing BCGT.

What's this?
This mod moves the four statically placed buttons "Inventory", "Crafting", "Health" and "Move Furniture" into a Window that you can move around on the screen.
The player can decide which buttons to show and which buttons to hide.
 
Other mods can also hook into this window and add their own buttons to it.
 
 
Cool! Where do I get this?
You can download it on the Workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=507746061
Or from github: https://github.com/blind-coder/pz-bcToolbar/releases
This mod depends on the bcUtils package v1.2.0 or newer: https://github.com/blind-coder/pz-bcUtils/releases
The bcUtils package is also available on the Workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=503640135
 
Enjoy

Do you like that everything you find is in mint condition?
Do you think it's realistic that all pills you find are completely full?
 
Then this mod is not for you! Everyone else, keep reading!
 
What is Secondhand Loots?
 
SL is a mod that randomizes the condition of weapons you find as well as the fill levels of pills, charcoal, lighters, everything with a "Remaining" bar in the tooltip!
 
How does it do that?
 
By hooking into the loot-generation code of the game. It also handles Lucky/Unlucky in a way that you get more items in perfect or broken condition.

I'm a modder and don't want my items to automerge! What do I do?
 
To achieve this, add these lines into a .lua file in media/lua/client:
if not BCGT then BCGT = {} endif not BCGT.MergeIgnore then BCGT.MergeIgnore = {} endBCGT.MergeIgnore["Module.Item"] = 1;Please make sure to include both if not lines so you don't overwrite other mods' ignore lists. Replace Module.Item with the full type of the item that you don't want auto-merged.
 
 
Anything else I need to know?
 
Yes: When you transfer items that have a fill level (pills, charcoal, etc) into a container where another one of these items is, they will be combined!
That means that two half-empty packs of charcoal will become one full pack automatically.
This does not apply to anything that leaves behind an "empty" version of itself like Water Bottles, Pots and the like.
 
Anything you need help with?
 
Yes! The mod can set lower/upper limits of condition for items. For example, an axe will always be at least 25% and a Hunting Knife 33%, no matter what. This is meant so that players don't find a rare item after days of scavenging only to find it's broken and unusable.
This is where I need help: Post suggestions of lower/upper limits of condition as well as chances that an item should be broken or in perfect condition! Default chance for either is 2.5%
If you have a suggestion for something, please post it here. Please make it a nice "balanced" suggestion, not a "but I want this to be perfect ALLLWWAAAYS" suggestion, thanks!

Hydro I am so, so sorry to read this. I simply can't imagine what you must be going through right now.
 
Real life comes before everything, and please don't let Hydrocraft occupy even a fraction of your mind while you're going through such difficult times.
 
I'm sure I speak for all the devs and all the community when I say that you're in all of our thoughts today x

That is certainly possible. Right now it only happens with playerbuilt walls, though, because prefabs do not have any building materials in their data like playerbuilt stuff does.
I'll think about something, but I need to investigate US building materials first. Over here in Germany, it would mostly be rocks and girders, but from what I hear about US homes, they're mostly made of plywood and hope, so I'll see how I can integrate that latter one

It might be worth checking to make this a complementary mod as the functionality really isn't limited to this one.

For homes, exteriors are made of a layer of siding (which could be lots of things, from vinyl to aluminum to steel to wood to cement board and more, generally speaking this wouldn't be salvageable), beneath which lies a layer of sheathing (plywood or OSB) beneath which you have studs (planks) and either nails or screws holding them together. On the inside of the studs you typically have plaster in older homes and sheetrock in newer homes.
 
There are other options out there, but they're generally speaking not common enough to bother with (log homes, metal studs), and although brick homes are fairly common in this area I'm not sure they're actually represented in the game, so no worries there.
 
So tl;dr same materials as player built walls, really.

Sure! In the universe of PZ, destroying prefabs should yield which materials? Planks? Logs? Nails? Human skulls?

This mod lets structures come crashing down when their support structures are removed. All structures must have a wall in a 5x5 area below or get destroyed.
Also prevents players from building floors more than 3 tiles away from any wall.
Be aware that any player (and zombie) that is below a crashing structure will get hurt, maybe even killed...

I'm still working on the details and effects of this, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to reply!
 
 
This is what happens when you remove enough supporting structures:

 
This is the new maximum distance to build floors:

 
And this is what happens when you stand below a single floortile crashing down on you:

Enjoy!

I just uploaded v0.4.1 which fixes these two issues and marks the pillars of wooden stairs as carrying walls similiar to wooden poles.

The containers will get destroyed, giving some building materials back. The contents will be scattered on the ground.
 
 
That's entirely the point. If you want a base, you need to defend it. Also, you can build more supports.
 
I don't understand the first sentence, but wooden beams act as supports just as walls do.

I've been thinking of allowing larger build breadth by one tile every 3 levels of carpentry, but that would collapse more quickly. I have to think about how to balance that out.
 
Also, school gyms and large classrooms will collapse if you remove their supporting walls. Unless you add supports in the middle first. See the first screenshot on the OP.

It did at first, but Build 35 introduced an Event "OnTileDestroyed" which I hook in to now. So it will work with all tile-destructions that fire this event.
 
 
No, there's no reason to be afraid. Unless you start destroying walls. Existing structures are not affected, the destruction only fires when a wall gets destroyed (and only a wall, not a couch or table for example).
 
 
You need to make sure to have support structures in a 3x3 area around the floor tiles. A quick sketch shows that a wall every 5 tiles is enough:
................... ................... ................... ...X.....X.....X... ................... ................... ................... ................... ...X.....X.....X... ................... ................... ................... If you place walls at the X tiles, then you can place floors above on all the . tiles.

Ahh, i figured that was the case, but i wanted to make sure on both ends
 
Ok, update finally came through and...... No errors while loading up now!
Looks good. Ill run a few more tests but everything seems to be working perfect now.
