There are a few things that modders still need. As we approach the last versions, this is the time to ask for it! Let’s organize all our requests here!

Edit: this got implemented I already had a few requests floating around, but here are a few that would help me: We can’t mod the first menus screens when creating a new game in a controlled way. For example, I can’t customize the menus based on if the Archipelago biome was picked, because changing…

Edit: this got implemented The water level is hardcoded. Changing it to be customized by json would be nice too. [screenshot%202018_07_06__19_12_40] I remember Allie showed us a sketch of the arctic biome she draw where it had a big ice cliff into the water, that would only be possible changing t…

@BrunoSupremo Oh man, I’m imagining a beach biome where the water level is set to 0.01 below the beach level, and then the daily cycle includes screen-edge additions and removals of wet/dry stones at key times to flood/drain the beach. It would probably have performance issues, but it would be reall…

Oh, great thread. Just noticed it :smiley: Well, I posted something along these lines just now, so I’ll paste a link here: [image] Hot loading manifests rules are changing! Modding [Update] So, continuing my mod, one thing that was missing is that I created a different t…

I have a few ideas I would like to use myself, but I don’t know enough to successfully code them… A service to switch between two models ingame: I imagine it based on the harvest service which can switch models either a button in the UI for a user friendly way to inform that this can be done to t…

Second idea is a service to give worth to an entity over time: gives the modder the ability to replace the standard value line in the manifest you will be able to set the minimum value and the maximum value and either set the increment or write down all the increments needed in brackets set up a t…

I suppose it’s a long shot for some of those, and I don’t know what is already available, but: A solid, non-hacky way to register lua functions to be called once per frame, in any game state (i.e. including the menu). Ideally similar in client & server. If possible, allowing the loading of .dlls (…

Originally posted in the minor polishes thread, but I think it probably belongs here: I remember there being a post about this from a while ago, but I was unable to find it. In addition to specifying a mod as “clientOnly” I’d like to be able to specify “serverOnly”. This would, when checking the cl…

This is a good one to do if we’re not getting access. I feel like this is one of the few things that would be an immense help if fixed up. Good thinking man !
