"-Numerical value on the amount of health Aloe Extracts restore."
OMG THANKS!!! You are just the best!

No worries, I actually found a different mod that will do this for me. I haven't looked into the devkit myself yet but there are a LOT of vague definitions in the game. I haven't played this in maybe 4 years and was lost when I came back.

Here are some of my thoughts on adding better clarity.

Add information to the knowledge screen so you know what you're getting like for. Weapons and armor

Better definitions on what each food/potion does in the inventory item and the craft screen at the cooking station. Like explaining durable or healing effects.

Adding onto above better definitions on the bonuses of each crafting station. Iirc there are 3 possible bonuses? One increases speed of crafts, one for reduced fuel cost (burning coal/wood etc) and one reduces material costs. So when listing these bonuses list all possible bonuses and list as a 0% so that it's clear what you are and aren't getting.

@Tenoz Yeah that came to my attention recently as a problem. I will likely be adding this at some point. Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for the reply, I removed all mods except this then loaded it up and realized that it had been working the whole time. I just thought this did something it didn't or rather had wishful thinking lol. What I see in game matches up with your screenshots but for some reason I thought this also clarified descriptions for items crafted in the armorer workbench and blacksmith so you can tell if a piece of armor is agility based for example.

@Tenoz I would try to run the mod by itself, then slowly add in the others till it makes it fail. Getting information on which mod is causing conflicts can help others as well. I can add a list of mods that don't work with this one if I know more.

I can't seem to get this working in game, I tried it both at the beginning and end of my mod load order.

Here's my current mod list

Very useful mod

The description is in English, is localization support considered?

@lucid
Yeah it was Gportal having problems with updating. it deleted the file but never grabbed the new one,. place it in manually fixed it

In case people need the prior version of 0.1.43 (April 2nd) because their server host isn't updating: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jdXWhslEg3M1dwH6LtXiUgYsVqJjVF-1/view?usp=sharing

This version shows as 0.1.42 in game but works for the new patch unlike the previous 0.1.42.

Confusing and annoying, I know. Shit happens.

where can I get the old version?

@Deadpool That makes more sense then! I'll look into fixing it on benches then. It's most likely all languages that it's an issue but I'll check.

yeah it does When i craftet them i can see it without problem but when i look at them at the workstation its cut off...i dont know its only by me but i dont see it there and only by weapons and shields...i play with german language if that helps

@Deadpool I don't think I understand what you're asking? The game already shows the number values on them.

could you do it for weapons, armor and shields too?

@Gravel As I told the others, please ensure your mod is up to date to 0.1.43. The mod is working for me and many others. Including on servers.

Anyone else having issues of it not showing on modlist and seems to not be working? It was just working the other day for us.

well the server i play on i cant get on cus its says wrong update of mod and dont know how to get hold of owner to sort it out

Hey guys, the mod does work. It's been tested multiple times with people multiple people and servers over the course of the last few days. If it does not work for you then here are some possible issues:

-Not every item has a new desc. Check the above list of items that have a new desc.
-Other mods can easily conflict with this mod if they aren't coded right. Mods that change stats for things like weapons could easily overwrite my descriptions unintentionally. Try and see if just the mod works by itself before reporting it doesn't work.
-Steam hasn't properly updated your mod to 0.1.43.
-The server could have the wrong version.

the mod still dont work

Awesome, no rush

@Gavener Thanks for the shoutouts! Food items have been planned since the start, I just haven't gotten around to them yet. As a new modder it's a bit difficult to track down what all the numerical values for the buffs are. There have also been changes to food recently so its probably a good thing I waited anyway.

@Sorokozherdiev At the moment only english is supported. If I can figure out how to make it change based on the language used in game, localization could be added for other languages given sufficient community contributions.

sorry for stupid question - is it only for english version?

Take my Point, this is such a Great mod, I give you a shout out every Stream.

Question though are you going to add to it as in the Cooking recipes ?

Hey everyone, I apologize for the delay. I did not expect the game to release an update that broke existing mods. The mod needed to be recompiled. It is now fixed.

To get the updated mod manually (in case steam takes a while to send it to you), unsubscribe from the mod, and then resubscribe and restart steam completely. Ensure that the mod order has the mod at the top and is updated to 0.1.43.

Thanks for using the mod, have fun!

It's not working for me. :(

its no working for me on my server or solo play help?

Nice mod. Thank you so much

THANK YOU

@Smug All mod IDs are in the URL of the page you are seeing it on. When you subscribe to it, it will also be in steam workshop folder with the same ID.

It's 3419396588

mod ID?

Does not seem to work. None of the mods i'm using seem to work actually. Yes, I have selected them on the Mods tab in the launcher.

yeah i agree, i imagine in my mand spearated like the original description and modifier descriptions are, but it sure seems like a great idea to leave it in the more info tab! ty for the answer and again, great mod!

I hear you on that, and its actually what I would have done originally if it weren't for the fact that when the "short descriptions" are too long, they go past a visible point with no scroll option. So yeah, that was kinda the issue. However, this is why I moved the base descriptions to the "long description" on the "more info" tab. Its just so when you start spending knowledge points or start building things with the build hammer it tells you truly what your options are.

I do like how it looks, it is definately an improvement, but i would find myself missing some descriptions of items, they sure are not specific at all but, stats and descriptions should not be mutualy exclusvie imo, i just see myself playing... immersed in the game and reading TIER 3 forge but nothing else kind of breaks said immersion for me and i think it would render the game a bit into a souless bunch of stats, no offense i think a balance between both would be great! =)

@Ceciliaracia No, they are handcrafted descriptions which means I have to make and replace them individually. I only plan to support vanilla for the time being.

Hi. Are these premade descriptions only for vanilla? or will they change and update on servers with mods? such as for weapons damage and effects added mod nonvanilla sources

It's like Funcom invented an awesome car but left a few bits off... then you showed them a "steering wheel" for it. :)

Do you have the 0.1.31 version? Well my friend refused to update the mod for a fewseconds.

Appreciate the support I am getting, thanks guys!

As a new player this is a super useful mod. Awesome work!

Brilliant !!!
After 6000 hrs in game I still have look stuff up and/or don't use things because I'm not sure what EXACTLY they do. You are taking a faux UI that currently behaves like a military censor redacting virtually all relevant info and are actually turning it into a meaningful UI....kudos. A lot of work for you, thanks so much and .....keep going! :)

Вы можете сделать рабочий мод на лица?

Если на английском языке я его удалю.

Approved. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to look up the difference between the garrison and campaign benches.
