Costly Walls

Description
Aoba's tent mod is great unfortunately with walls so cheap there isn't much reason to use them outside caravans. I could roleplay but a quick patch multiplying the cost by five should be better. That's what I thought until I realised there are dozens of mod added walls out there, each one rendering this mod pointless. So instead of being the simplest mod ever it's now one of the most patch heavy out there.

Do you like Embrasures? Well while I was going through every mod on the workshop I decided to patch those as well. How about sandbags? Fortifications Industrial adds Sandbag walls and since Fertile Fields adds sand why not patch those walls and the vanilla sandbags to require sand as well. Well my patches didn't work so I paid Morphium to do it for me, you should give him a shoutout if you meet him, great guy.

But what about the mods I missed, what about the mods still to come, each with more embrasures than the last? Well I can't be bothered making more patches so I want you to do my job for me. That's right if you make a patch, post it in the the discussion and I'll add it to this mod.

Some of you out there are very smart cookies, you know that while I increased the cost of walls you can just use some mod added super cheap material to mass build them anyway.
But you see I anticipated this by making my own super cheap material mod several months ago so if you want an easier time my Chipboard mod is just the thing for you:

But what if you find yourself without a tent, no way to make chipboard and nothing around to work with? Take a look at my ancient scrap tents mod and go sleep in a wreck. They aren't great but if Tynan wants to turn your map into a junkyard you may as well use them.

Either we get hostile vehicles, some other top tier mod comes out or Tynan stops releasing dlc so I'm not back here needing to update everything again and again. If none of those points are met there's not much point putting in the effort for a game I'm not playing.

Nope. I made a much better wall mod with different kinds of walls from thatch to wattle and daub to sheet metal but never uploaded it.
I took a break from Rimworld in anticipation for the vehicle framework only to find the weaponised vehicles being a cheat the ai never uses. I know it's on the to do list but still hasn't happened.
I would have come back if the dlc could excite me but Biotech races felt less distinct than alien race mods, Anomaly is a one and done isolated experience not worth the price and Odyssey seems to be an amalgamation of different mods I've already played.
Maybe there's some game changer of a mod released since I last touched the game a few years back but I haven't checked and I'm sure it'll take a couple months for all the good mods to get their 1.6 update anyway.

Hi @OptimusPrimordial,

Are you planning to bring this to 1.6?

@OptimusPrimordial. Thanks for the update. Keep doing what you're doing. I will await with anticipation.

The replacement wall mod is being done right now. Once that's finished I'll upload updates to my old mods though I'm not sure about this one. Could be used along with the newer wall mod but I'll have to get some time with the mod when its done to say whether this will still have a purpose.

@OptimusPrimordial. Now that Soil Relocation Framework has been updated to 1.4 are there any plans to get Costly Walls updated? I don't even use tent mods. I just like the challenge of walls costing more.
OptimusPrimordial  [author] 8 Nov, 2022 @ 9:19pm 
Yeah, it's not great. I was working on a mod adding onto my growverhaul mod making walls require nails or mortar and a bunch of custom walls for people who want thatch or wattle and daub but then 1.4 happened and the soil relocation framework is on hold so I decided to play other games.

This is a great idea, but really brakes balance as the walls of the ruins on the map add a lot to the colony wealth at the very beginning. Unfortunately

I really enjoy the extra challenge this mod provide. So thank you for a great mod!

However I have a request as well. Would it be possible to make the spawn rate of rock chunks 100% instead of the vanilla's 25%, when mining a rock tile?
As to both provide more materials for the costlier walls, and to limit the 'direct usefulness' of mountaint bases.

I understand that you're probably busy, so no expectations!

Absolutely amazing work. I am thankful for your dedication.
