This mod works fine for me. Everything pops up in the catalog when searching 'gem'.

@ Lady no can confim it does not work,

Is this mod still compatible? I can't find any of the stations in-game anymore.

hay can u make a tv to work to tell u what weather will happen ect tells what people might need help that day ect or make a new villger in the game like how do u add ur own villagers if someone could make a turtorial for that i would pay 10$ just to learn that. and more recipies like fish every fish in the game should be abled to be cooked. or fried

and even make mods with caves! underground advenutre!!

please make more gems! and make ores and turn them to bars, and even be able to make tools or items out of it!!

How far down do I even need to go? How deep is a large map?

i put 200 stones in the crusher and it only gave me 1 quartz

can you add a upgraded version of the stone crusher which has a better chance to find gems in stones?

very cool mod! keep up the great work!

so there no way to increase the chance or you wont share info? i mean i can see i can change the prices if that the case i can just edit the price for gems to be sold to compensate the less drop ratio. Not gonna lie if u think this is balanced it not. Many reason

1: You have to farm many raw stones and getting 999 takes about an hour or 2
2: Gem Furnance has like a 15-20 sec delay till it spits out something
3: Then you spend more time processing, cutting and buffing
4: If u dont get any gems your stuck waiting even longer for assembly table

At this point it not even about being patient. Not everyone can wait 2+ hours later just to get 1 or 2 gems. Thanks but i will just jack the prices for them from highest cutting which is only 2k to 10-20k+

Okay, thanks for the info. Feels awfully grindy at the moment, but it's also nice to have something new to work on.

@Aria the prices are all set in such a way that you'll always make profit after processing a gem. The rarer the gem, the more profit you'll make, too.

@Aira After buffing each gem, put it on the assembly table with 4 nails and 4 lumber to make a lumicube. They're worth a lot more.

Are the cutting and buffing tools consumed when you use them? I only bought one of each and now it seems I have to order more and wait another day... The gems had better be insanely valuable to be worth spending so much money on cutting them...

The assembly table kinda broke my game after assembling one stone.
I have the iron mod with gem compatibility installed and it may be due to placing 3 single stones and one stack of 7 down, but after the stone was done the game lagged for a second and now i can neither scroll through my hotbar nor open my inventory, which kinda makes the game unplayable :/

@ Ojipan My feelings exactly...I understand the change was needed for some but not all of us care for the grind.

@ Ojipan he massive increased the values of the gems and to counter balance that the drop rates were Nerfed.

Have you change the chances of getting a gem from raw stone? i put a stacck of 999 raw stone inside the machine and got only 10 gems. When i had this on release it gave me more gem atleast 50 from 999 raw stones.

How to change the chances on my server cause everyone complainng about it.

@Arcadiax I saw there is a Gem Workbench^^
On the normal Workbench you can put more than 1 and the other would be deleted.

another bug when making the light source versions.
if you place multi gems on the table it will take all the gems but only make 1 light source block.

[sidenote] can you make the Light source blocks be abled to be placed on walls and ceilings?

@Silent313, the bench only accepts one gem at a time, the others will still be in your inventory :)

If you put more than 1 gem on the workbench (for cut), after the prozess for 1 is done the other would be deleted

@wichtelin23
Schneiden Sie zweimal, dann Ofen, Buff, Gewinn

wow what a wonderful mod. Thank you very much

ICH FINDE KEINE GEMS :( UND IN DIESEN OFEN KANN ICH IRGENDWIE KEINE STEINE REINLEGEN

I DO NOT FOUND ANY GAMES :( AND IN THE OVEN I CANT PUT ANY STONE
DI IS SOMETHING WRONG?

now if only wew could make one way Warp/TP stations with these >.>

@PuddinPop Yes, they are much rarer now, but all together will net you a lot more profit in the long term. (max sell price before was ~2000, it's now ~10,000), it just requires more persistence and patience now (and stone, a lot more stone) :)

My mistake, I think I was trying to ask about the lumicube and derped out what I was supposed to write. Thank you for answering that other question of mine.

Hey, Arcadiax! Is there any way to fix some of the low gem rates? I know some people complained that it was too OP but now it's very much on the sparse side. I really love this mod as it balances out some of the economic issues in the base game but I would also love to see possible options or alternate mod versions for higher spawn rates. Thanks for all the hard work!

@hannahlj79 the gen store in town 2.5k Petals

question where do I get the catalogue?

Purple Lighting: I Approve

Hey guys,

> Yeah, luminous is the highest it goes, but if you check the item description on the luminous gem, it instructs you on how to make a funky light with it :)

> The nametags in the sky were because I couldn't change the nametag and wasn't sure how to hide it, so I just offset it really high.

> You need to remove and re-place the gem as it's technically 2 docks in the same place, I might look at changing this.

Thanks for the feedback!

@Devon, Luminous is the highest it can go, the other two are crushed gems and cloudy gems

I noticed while these were placed down that high up in the sky there's words for them. Assemble, Reap, and Reap. You have to fly up and see them or just look up at sky at night above them

I'm currently stuck at the luminous stage for the gems, how do you process them further? Other then that I do really like this mod, the gems as is are nice decorations and good for getting money.

When cutting gems can we have it so it finishes all the cutting when you have a stack of cutting tools? Have to keep popping the gem in and out to get it to go again.

HEy I really love this mod :D only way to make money at the moment lol

I feel that the crops and food sales are very unbalanced
like for example jam. it only sells for 240 orso... but sugar is 230 xD if you BOUGHT it.
I have a request though- or 2?
Like The saw is working on its own....
Sadly i cant find the machines datas. So far i only changed for me sugarbeets to be all year grown so I can produce a lot of sugar.
Yet u need to cut it.
And u cant let it cut on its own. or stack activate how many.
Also for the gem things. Can you maybe make a mod version where the stuff works on its own? (cuz gems need 2 cuts anyway. so u dont hav to take it out and back in?)
Also if you agree on the use of this. maybe u can write a mod that all cooking and building stations. if the ingredients are availible, once activated. run automatically?
Thatd be suuuuuuuuuper awesome

The interaction labels look like they're ~30 blocks up in the sky. Is that by design?

Also seems to be limited to seven gems a day? Or is that just luck? I've gotten exactly seven for three days in a row.

Nifty little mod, btw.

After playing around with this mod, i must say that I quite like it.
I however am a bit discouraged at teh rate you burn through Cutters and Buffers.
If these tools could be bought at one of the town shops, it wouldn't be as much of a big deal though.

Also, do you plan to eventually make it so the gems can be crafted into equippable jewelry?
Or at least glasses with gems for lenses.
Cause that would be neat.

great addition to my game, has helped out in those tough financial situations :D

@Arcadiax Your welcome :)!

It´s all working now,.. the Staxel client just didn´t started it´s updater for the mods but it´s working just like it is supposed to be!

Keep up the great work, would like to see more of mod ideas like this from you rather from a modder who gives zero fcks about their mod and if it is working. :)

Hi Lex,

Thanks!
I've heard of an issue like that, you may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe to get the latest files. Also make sure you put all your stone in one slot on the table and then click the table itself.

@Arcadiax Ah okay, that makes sense :) Would be a bit to OP even if it´s singleplayer.

The stone crusher thing is the only thing i have to mention atm, but maybe you´ll find a way to get the right outpost slots, would be nice :)

One thing at least,.. I got a message that the mod was updated from you at 9:30 or so but i tried to auto create the crushed stones into raw stones at the montage table but it didn´t work for me by now?

i´ve got 3k crushed stones atm and don´t want to break my fingers by clicking the ***** out of that table just for raw stones^^

Or you are just about to update this atm?

No problem :) Anyone who makes mods that good should get feedback for possible improvements and his work. You spend time to save our time :)

@Lex Yeah the main purpose is a feasible way to make money for people who want to build a lot (as it can take a long time to build up funds in vanilla).

I intentionally made the crafting times lengthy and restricted to no stacks to add a time sink element to it, as otherwise I think they'd be too easy to quickly produce and farm (leaving the mod a bit OP).

I initially had two output slots designed for the Stone Smasher for that reason, but can't see any way to define 2 output slots, only one. I'll mess around with it a bit more and see if I can, I agree they can sort of pop out at high velocity and go awol.

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, I appreciate it!

@Arcadiax Nice ! That´s just what i wanted to mention next and now it´s beeing updated! :)
This mod is the only way atm to get good money to expand the village and spend it for things in use.

A good improvement would also be, if you could put the gems on the table to let them automaticly stack and cut them to the "Cut Ruby" for example. Same for the furnace. The whole day is just passing by if you have to take all your gems seperatly from the furnace or the gem table and put them back in again.

Is the also a possibilty to insert a storage for the gems and crushed stones that pop out the stone crusher? Sometimes the gems are poping out of my house and i can´t find them anymore.

Great work so far! :)

I'm about to update the mod to fix the prices.

I've automated the crushed stone > raw stone assembly process too (thanks Var) - if you put more than 5 on the assembly table and right click the table, it will start automatically crafting raw stone.

This mod is really cool, however I can't seem to be able to get the gem beyond rough. After I cut it, I can't seem to do anything with it, and I have no clue why.
