3D models and consolidation of crafting recipes?
Hey! I really like the idea behind Hydrocraft but two things really bug me about it.

One is that all the countless items added by it don't support the 3D models. Is this something that is planed for the future?

Another thing is that I think some crafting recipes could be consolidated like the "Kill Animal XY" recipes that include one recipe for each type of Cat/Dog/Whatever Animal instead of only having one recipe including all the different versions of the same animal etc. There are countless other examples here. I think that could help bring down the tremendous amount of crafting recipes quite a bit and would thus help with the performance issues caused by the mod when using the crafting menu.

Hi NukaBay, sorry for the delay (Steam doesn't notify me when someone posts a new thread, so I missed it). We've got some new volunteers working on 3D models, we've got models for more weapons and armours that were missing before. Adding models for all items will take some time but is definitely something we're working on.

Consolidating recipes is something on my list of things to do. You may have seen that the butcher recipes have recently been consolidated into just 3 recipes (birds, small animals, large animals). I'll add the kill recipes to my list of things to look at.

Thanks for answering mate! :)

On the topic of weapons, have you thought about removing them from the main mod and maybe outsource them into a submod? Given that the dedicated gun mods we have (britas, b41 guns etc.) Are far more advanced maybe it would be better to just concentrate on what hydrocraft does good? Just my two cents though.

The guns in Hydrocraft can be turned off in the sandbox settings, doing so prevents them from spawning in containers and on zombies.

Well, more than two years have passed, and there are still no 3D models. Is this really such a time-consuming process?
