Hydrocraft Build 41 - Beta 1 Released! -- Looking for Testers!
Hello everyone!

We are currently looking for a few dedicated and active people that would like to test Hydrocraft and report bugs a bit closer with us!

So if there is anyone who would like to participate, this will surely help the development of the Build 41 version a ton!

We will also send an invite to our Discord server to make communication easier!

Now on to the good news.

The "Beta 1" version of Hydrocraft for Build 41 is currently available!

Beta versions are to be considered "IWBUMS" so there could be game breaking issues and require some games to be restarted.

So for anyone who wants to play Hydrocraft until it is considered to be stable enough to be released publicly, there will be periodic releases there once in a while.

It would be really appreciated if bug reports would be done on GitHub but any other channel will still be considered :) Thanks!!

The Beta 1 can be downloaded right here:

https://github.com/DemolitionDerby/Hydrocraft/releases

For those who would like to hunt bugs and put some time to help us with that, please send Hydromancerx or myself a quick PM on TheIndieStone Forum and I will send the link to our Discord server!

Enjoy!

Tried it out and everything seems to spawn where it should such as food,hardware,misc items. Obviously the models dont appear for certain items and some items cant be equippable like certain armor from Hydcrocraft.

The changelog is available too on GitHub and yes, items should spawn where they are supposed to and there should be a lot less than before but it still needs tweaking.

DLing it now, going to give it a try either later tonight or tomorrow. Will post if I see anything wrong. When you say 'disabled all ranged weapons' in the changelog, does that include the longbow?
DemolitionDerby  [developer] 20 Nov, 2019 @ 5:28am 
@tilarium Yes they are disabled but they still can be used for Hunting. They have been converted to regular items for now.

do i have to re-download every time it updates?
DemolitionDerby  [developer] 23 Nov, 2019 @ 3:56pm 
@cocoayoc Unfortunately yes, there wont be tons and tons of updates but if there is, you will have to download manually until it is on Steam.
cocoayoc 23 Nov, 2019 @ 4:06pm 
and where do i put the unzipped folder? i've never used a mod NOT from the workshop before
DemolitionDerby  [developer] 23 Nov, 2019 @ 4:23pm 
@cocoayoc In your “User Folder” you will find a folder called “Zomboid” and “mods” just put the Hydrocraft folder there and it will show up in the mods list.

Dont forget to turn off older/incompatible mods :)

So folder architecture should be “Zomboid/mods/Hydrocraft/media” etc..

the only other mods i want to use are cheat menu, superb survivors and the minimap. they should be compatible with HC, right?

Yeah, you'll be fine. I use a bunch of other mods along with those ones (except minimap) and have no problems.

i'm in on this, time to break as much as i can

p41:
- selecting some items to craft (eg. bronze sword) will cause exceptions spew like this: https://pastebin.com/EUXVX1dU
Looks like it;'s complaining about skills - also, craft recipe does not shows them (skills required)
HC beta is only mod I have enabled
- I also see some potential conflict with base game -> there is "IronIngot" object (eg have a look insie SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\recipes.txt) and they quantities used are in 10x :-)
- there is also Blacksmith skill - IMHO all smithing recipes should start use it.

@Solomoune Too much people still on Build 40 so Hydrocraft will not be released for IWBUMS on Steam
Yo Demoltion Derby will the hydro item spawns be turned up in the next beta they do spawn but not as much even with abundant loot enabled.
