Hydrocraft Essential Fixes

🚨Requires a version of Hydrocraft for build 41+. Example: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2778991696🚨

---

⭐Tested with multiplayer!

Major:

• Adds Hydrocraft items to the new foraging system. You can find bee hives again!
  
• The "Remove Grass" action gives you grass
  
• Live and Hydrocraft animals can be trapped
  
• New trap type: Bear Trap

Minor:

• Hunt for rabbits
  
• Repack batteries so they stop clogging your storage space

You can forage for Hydrocraft items again! 106 Hydrocraft items have been converted to the new foraging system:



You'll find most objects in deep forest zones, but forest, farmland, and vegetation can also yield the same items at a lower frequency. The wild beehive in particular requires a foraging skill of 10 and is fairly uncommon, so keep trying.

The "Remove Grass" action now gives you – you guessed it – grass.



Simply right-click on any tile with overgrown grass and select "Remove Grass" in the context menu. Great for feeding chickens and other livestock or simply making twine.

99 different Hydrocraft animals can now be caught in traps. In addition, you can now catch live animals in traps, particularly rabbits for your rabbit hutch.



The full list of valid baits for traps is too lengthy to go into detail here, but in general I recommend:

• Stick Traps: Bugs (Bug mash or crickets, cockroaches, etc.), berries (bunch of berries), grains (rice, bread, any color of corn, etc.)
  
• Bear Traps: Eggs, bug mash, bunch of berries, butchered meat, fish fillet, acorns, honey
  
• Everything else: Bug mash, bunch of berries, clover, grains, butchered meat, bark

Rabbits can be caught with their original base-game baits in addition to blue, red, and white corn.
Introducing a new trap type: bear traps!



They will catch larger animals such as deer, boar, and of course bears. You will need the Hunting Textbook to craft them.
🚨Note that bear traps placed via Right click -> Place trap -> Set Bear Trap are different from bear traps placed via recipe “Set Trap”. The former will not hurt you when walking over it but the latter will. They also look the exact same when on the ground (though maybe you can use this to your advantage on PvP servers?)

• You can hunt for rabbits like any other animal with rabbit poop
  
• You can repack some Hydrocraft items that couldn’t be repacked before such as small batteries, (metal) nuts, and cardboard boxes

You can currently craft chainmail armor and iron greaves if you find the Armor Crafting Textbook. These are a WIP and will soon receive new additions of gauntlets, breastplates, and more.

• Add more craftable metal armor
  
• Allow certain foods to be dried and ground into spices such as sumac
  
• Add 3D models for select Hydrocraft containers so they don't look ugly as sin when placed on the ground
