Eyy thanks. Will be useful since 99% of progression is locked behind something that needs to be looted. Or very rarely foraged.

@LambVORTEX

it works with both the homemade hacksaw and saw

I've got homemade things but I haven't crafted anything from it yet so ill try to do that rn @LambVORTEX

A more balanced version where you need 4 logs to make nails would be nice. Also does this work with modded saws? Like ones from Homemade Things?

@Niknack Just tested it out in 2 new worlds (one with just the mod and one with 90~ mods) and the mod worked as intended for me.

Did you enable the mod? for the sawing method did you have a saw, a log and light. For the carving method did you have a Sharp Knife a log a table/ surface and light?

(From what i remember you also cant be totally fatigued or thats just me misremembering how crafting works)

does not work in 42.8.0

@𝔹ℝ𝟛𝕄𝟙𝕏𝕌 that's weird, I just made a save and went to a forest to make some nails to test the mod and it worked just fine for me. Did you have a saw and did you click on the carpentry or the carving crafting menu? The carving method requires a knife and the Carpentry menu requires the saw.

dont work for me

Dowel Construction Supremacy.

Thank you! Now I can finally build my log cabin the way God intended. With logs! Those pesky roofs. Btw this is basically making dowels, which is the way we built most things before we had nails. It is realistic.

nails are the one thing preventing me from living in the wilderness long term so i dont even care if this is cheating nails are life

1 log = 50 nails + carving skill 3 and/or carpentry 5

1 log turns into a box of 100 nails. unrealistic, and way too op.

While it's realistic to be able to make carpentry without metal, can't the output be a "wooden nail" that would work for recipes ? i suppose you can cheese getting tons of metal from it.
great idea though :) !

Make a mod where you can make a baseball bat out of a log.

no es hate, pero un amigo llamado comandocafe, dijo "que poronga de mod" gracias

Honestly would only use this as a last resort. I started in edge creek and none of the industrial buildings had any nails. Even the fucking STEEL MILL had no names and I don't have enough gas to make it to the warehouse district on the east side of the map. So thanks

Thanks for the good mod

yea never understood why people think this is cheaty. The concept of using wooden pegs/dowels to wedge into a drill hole to connect timber is an has been a viable technique. this just simplifies the process by using a in game item the nail to serve as a stand in for the process.

OP basically invented the concept of dowels lol.

Thanks for putting this in because I too like to build houses in the woods. :-D
