Glad it’s working!
Hmm, I’m surprised that worked. Surprised but glad! There’s a lot in the qb-file-loading code I’m not familiar with.
I was too. But it doesn’t work actually… I have a habit of checking the feet when seeing if the body is loaded but forget that the outfits have feet as well. . . Noticed the second time that they didn’t have any hands. . . So I just used the stonehearth path.
sounds like a perfect example of a “happy accident”… certainly worked out in your favor @Avairian! 
edit: ninja’d to the contrary… 
@sdee There is a strange thing happening. When I tried to add something similar to the vanilla picket_fence, I copied that picket_fence_proxy.json. I did it exactly the same as far as I know. But the game cant acces the file ‘construction’. I had to directly link to the json file.
picket_fence_proxy.json;
{
"mixins": "stonehearth:mixins:item_properties",
"type": "entity",
"components": {
"model_variants": [
{
"models": [
"file(picket_fence_proxy.qb)"
]
}
],
"stonehearth:placeable_item_proxy" : {
"full_sized_entity" : "stonehearth:picket_fence"
},
"item" : {
"category" : "construction"
}
}
}
With stonehearth : picket_fence is;
"picket_fence" : "file(entities/construction/picket_fence)",
Now I did modify my file to this:
{
"mixins": "stonehearth:mixins:item_properties",
"type": "entity",
"components": {
"model_variants": [
{
"models": [
"file(pillar_proxy.qb)"
]
}
],
"stonehearth:placeable_item_proxy" : {
"full_sized_entity" : "mod_egypt:pillar"
},
"item" : {
"category" : "construction"
}
}
}
With in my mod manifest; link to the file where the json is located.
"pillar" : "file(models/construction)",
When playing the game, after sawing animation of the carpenter, when the game tries to create the proxy I get this error;
I had to directly link to the pillar.json file to get it working, contrary to what the vanille game does;
{
"mixins": "stonehearth:mixins:item_properties",
"type": "entity",
"components": {
"model_variants": [
{
"models": [
"file(pillar_proxy.qb)"
]
}
],
"stonehearth:placeable_item_proxy" : {
"full_sized_entity" : "file(pillar.json)"
},
"item" : {
"category" : "construction"
}
}
}Are you sure that the path to mod_egypt:pillar is valid? It seems to be resolved (as in, it finds the alias), but it looks like it can’t find mod_egypt/models/construction/construction.json. That’s something Jefferson should find and complain about.
Actually, you gave me a good idea for Jefferson.

Do you not have a pillar proxy alias?
manifest:
“pillar” : “file(models/construction)”,
“pillar_proxy” : “file(models/construction/pillar_proxy.json)”,
yes I have that one too in the manifest.
Hey Miturion,
I think your problem is this:
file(models/construction) is not going to be enough to get you to the pillar. If the pillar.json is inside a folder called pillar, which in inside construction, you can do this:
file(models/construction/pillar)
However, if pillar.json is just inside the construction folder, you’ll need
file(models/construction/pillar.json)
We really need to document this somewhere but file(…) will automatically append x.json if x.json is in a folder named x and the filepath ends on a thing without an extension. So in the case of the picket fence, picket_fence.json is in a folder called picket_fence. So you can refer to picket_fence.json with just file(…path…/picket_fence)
In your case, file(models/construction) will look for a file named file(models/construction/construction.json) not pillar.json.
Hope that helps!

I’ve updated the OP with some frequently asked questions, including a note about how to make trees drop wool.
On the whole, we’re really impressed with how far you all have gotten with these tools! 
Keep the mods coming!

Will do. @chimeforest and I have a few ideas up or sleeves.

thanks for that… 
@RepeatPan had mentioned the small world option (which I will absolutely need), but your update reminded me… should keep the ol’ rig from asploding… 
That we most certainly do!
for what it’s worth, I may or may not be able to provide certain forum “perks”, should said plans arrive via PM…
and by perks, I mean @Geoffers747 will literally visit your home, and wash your dishes for a full 24 hours…
think about it…

That’s some pretty big plates you got there if a whole washing takes 24 hours Steve… Or is @Geoffers747 merely wasting water?

There’s definitely an innuendo to be had here … I’ll rise above it … and suddenly everything seems to be an innuendo.

Thanks. Now I understand.
I was thinking that the shortcut-name “pillar” was making the game search for pillar.json rather than the last file name.

Yea, I read that. That is why I used the direct json location. But I did understand it different, as said above. And in my defense, I can still see why I read it wrong in the blog-post. 
Yes, you do! The game loads up fast. So fast, that the time you need for clicking the minimized window (is that fixable? @RepeatPan) is being the bottleneck, and it decides the loadtime for me. And it has placed the banner and stockpile already for you. And no buttons-help intro.
I cannot mod without it anymore.
