Description
Wax Extended

TL;DR;
Adds candles and bone altars to the game.

Last compatible version
1.17 - introduced dependency on Base Resources mod, and updates to that version from 1.00 to 1.16 may cause some reactions behave unexpectedly.


Please see my other mods:

Introduction

Currently it is just a simple mini mod. With time I may add more items - will see how this mod evolves.




Detailed Content

  1. Candle (requires wax and thread) made in craftsman workshop with wax working skill (use pedestal to place candle)
  2. Candles set (requires candles) made in craftsman workshop with wax working skill (use pedestal to place candles set)
  3. Bone Altar (requires bones and candles) made in craftsman workshop with bonecarve skill
  4. Reaction to make wax statue (requires a lot of wax) - craftsman workshop with wax working skill.
  5. Since v1.07 - 9 ritual candles in various colors (requires wax, thread, and dye) made in craftsman workshop with wax working skill (use pedestal to place a ritual candle)
  6. Since v1.08 - Additional Display Furniture: candle plate, candle stand, candle lantern, and bone candle holder. As candles require some object display to be placed on - the additional options make it more natural to be used in the game instead of pedestals.
  7. Since v1.09 - variants of flame in ritual candles

Candels can be made by any base game entity
Bone Altar can be made by any base game entity except for (forest) elves
Wax status can not be made by elves (forest) and goblins (evil), but the former have their own alternative.
Ritual candles can be made by any base game entity (one colors may be excluded for some entities)




If you used this mod and had some interesting story to share please write a comment.

Compatibility
The mod should be compatible with other mods. It may not work if there is a mod that alter by CUT and re-adding the MOUNTAIN entity. If you encounter any issues, please let me know.

Using in Other Mods
Please feel encouraged to use this resource as a dependency in your mod. If you need just a subset of features and others are misalignment with your vision - please contact me - it is likely there will be no problem from my side to create a resource-only mod (or mods) with content you require.

@Duckling: Check out the initial version of Ambiance Additions I just published today ;-)

Thank you for adding to our experience! :)
Hey, thank you! I am following you, will for sure check it out if you end up doing it! :D
One mod that was inspiring me visually is "University" - it creates a bunch of workshops with that cluttered tools style I was thinking; maybe it can be a useful visualization for you as well!
All the best !

@Duckling - I'm glad to hear that, thanks for motivating me. I'll add your mod idea to my queue :-)

Beautiful! I love your mods! They add so much character!
I feel like visually the game is sorely lacking in decoration, and your mods help a lot - even the simple "just put it on the floor" hahah
Also inspires me to some ideas - crates, tools, books, busy tables, etc., so many graphical assets already within the game (like in workshops) would look gorgeous just littered around the fortress

I was trying to reproduce the issue but I could not, I'm sorry @ErisG96

Deleted my previous post - I grabbed a screenshot of what happened when I attempted to make a candle in 1.09, updated from 1.05. My dwarf grabbed wax and threat, and seemed to be doing the correct job, but ended up making a wax bowl? https://imgur.com/a/eFMpIOg

@ErisG96 could u please describe more details. What version do you have? Do you have other mods? What have u used as wax? Is the graphic of candle or a mortars? Can u share a screenshots?
ErisG96 22 Jun, 2024 @ 3:45pm 
For some reason my "candles" come out labeled as mortars or bowls, but work just fine for making altars?
