definitely on my 1.6 list if it's really going to be updated for it, I really love mods that add intermediates and new resources, especially such colorful ones :D

I might just have to learn how to bash XML's together to make "Compatibility" between mods XD

@Argón
It's perfectly acceptable, since 1.6 is just around the corner.
I'll be waiting for a bit, personally, so that the mods I want hit 1.6 before I start playing again, anyway.
Can't imagine playing without Replace Stuff, Simple Sidearms, Run and Gun, RimHUD, Allow Tool, and so on.

I'm sorry for that. This mod came out rushed and bugged with 1.5, and the remake took me some time to design. Since the new changes in VE Framework for 1.6, I think the rework will come out for 1.6 and likely won't be 1.5 compatible.

I wont' lie, that I'm a little sad this wasn't updated to 1.5 before the 1.6 drop. I would've windmill slammed this into my modlist if it was. (Given I'm likely going to be stuck on 1.5 while I wait for a few key mods to get updated/picked up and adopted)

any idea why the digging spot is bugged? i have loaded only harmony and vanilla expanded framework. the colonists will just stand at the spot, switching between "standing" "digging". They will never produce anything. When i move them away from the spot and prioritize it, they will stand still and not even move towards the spot anymore.

The update is in progress, and so far, 1.6 hasn't broke anything relating to the code of my framework or mods. It's just now a bit delayed until VE updates their framework so I can update my mods and release new ones. I need to finish maybe one or two code features of this mod before I release its definitive edition. I just have been really in a convoluted state for the last two months, working on many different things among commissions and book work.

What do you do because 1.6?

Woods suggestion: 'Expanded Woodworking' is alright yet some stuff could be deeper. Like different lumber could affect bow qualities (including CE)

I will rework woods when the time come. It'll be simple but I hope entertaining.

Maybe you could make an alternative mod to woodworking expanded

Just know that a lot of people really appreciate your work and effort, and that your stuff is amazing and that's why some people can get a bit eager!

But yes, take your time <3

I'm not mad. I sometimes wish I could be faster, mainly because I myself do want to have stable mods.

@Argón
I'm sorry for ragging on you like that.
But it certainly feels like a year sometimes.

@argon
Zero pressure. Take all the time you need to have fun creating stuff!

I don't have a team like VE and I care to bring something that doesn't just look like bloat, for I game I don't precisely play every single day. I know it takes time, but I prefer to take some in spite of making a mod I actually feel satisfied with.

@lol
It'll take another year, sorry. XD

1.5 pretty please

and you could also use it for things like kitchen decor and sinks / toilets from dubs bad hygiene :>

@InvitedRhino683
I second this motion.

if youre updating this mod, do you think you could add in a small cleanliness bonus for things made of porcelain ? could make it an early game alternative to sterile tiles :>

there are mods that uses Cement too, if you're gonna do a rework just keep that in mind

It's in the works at the moment. Shouldn't take much longer to release.

I am waiting for an update

would love this for 1.5

#Rework (?)

I'd like to recommend adding how/where to obtain specific items in the info tab. I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to get cement and sand for my floor. On this page I see that sand comes from the digging spot; So In game I built the digging spot and my (Pawns)miners will not touch it whatsoever.

Thank you for your effort :)

I like your mods! :D

@Argón
Good news indeed. Thanks for the update.

I'm in the process. I can't give a date, but as soon as I finish working on the digging system. The rest of the content which is not a lot of complicated things should be done quicker.

Pleas notice me when theare will be a update

please when

Yes, Jon is correct. If you can make the dirt, act like your sand and add an option to terraform and place sand, dirty, and dig for shallow water it would bring great functionality to this mod. Beside that, how far do you think you are from a 1.5 conversion. I have been waiting to start a new game. :)

Problem is that 2 mods cant work together if not patched or something because there will be duplicated items. Thats why it would be perfect if this mods add that functionality to terraform.

That's the idea. I won't aim to "replace" soil relocation framework, since I think that mod has its own content to offer, but I also haven't used it ever, so I don't really know how it works in detail.

@jonilgz, Yes! That would be amazing that way I can get rid of Soil Reclamation mod and use this one.

It would be nice if we can use materias to terraform.

Can't wait for 1.5! :)

I'm very happy to hear that, thank you!

Thank you for everything you do Argón! Your mods elevate my Rimworld experience greatly

I'm currently working on it. It should take much less than EM - Metals. These other mods are going to be smaller in content, but I aim to add stuff that can be used for other mods too.

Man Im waiting for 1.5 of this to replace the ceramics mod.

Good luck.

@Argón
I, personally, am REALLY looking forward to seeing Expanded Materials - Plastics finally updated.
Thanks a lot for bringing back Expanded Materials - Metals in the meantime. I've missed it.

Can't wait to see this updated but take your time. The metals you re-released recently was top tier.

@Argón
Sometimes things just take a long time, especially hobby things. I'm sure some people are impatient but most of us totally get that. Personally I'm very hyped to see what you have been up to, whenever it's ready.

I'm glad to hear that. I also immensely appreciate the patience everyone has had during the last year. It'll be worth it when I release the much needed reworks.

@Argón
Oh man, so excited to hear that it's coming along, I love this series.

A sack of cement stored a few months outdoors under cover becomes a sack-shaped stone. Please implement deterioration for cement.

I will update it so it's at least functional after I re-release EM - Metals which will be very soon. I'm actually mostly done with the mod itself, I have to make a release video for it. After that, I'll make a poll for which mod to work on next. If you want to know more you can get on my Discord.
