As there will be more and more tutorials, guides, spoilers, etc. which I plan to share, some kind of repository or overview seems to be a good idea… and here we go 😉.

**Current Tutorials / Guides:** ✅

- “[Adding Doors to Design Builder](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/tutorial-adding-additional-doors-in-the-custom-design-builder/13525)” (adding additional doors which can be selected in the design builder)
- “[From Picture to Animation](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/guide-from-a-picture-to-an-animation/1702)” (how to create a model and animate it)

**Stonehearth Add-On for Blender (Animation):** ✅

- [Stonehearth Add-On for Blender](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/stonehearth-add-on-for-blender-download-available/3561?u=voxel_pirate) _(exporting animations readable by Stonehearth, incl. guide)_

**Video-Tutorials:** ✅

So far [on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPTaE9raWeRJPzFyHa0JPQQ), most older, but will be updated soon ™. Also including Blender- and Qubicle-Tutorials.

**Old (Pre Alpha 10):** ❎

The following tutorials will not work with the latest release of Stonehearth. However, they can still provide some insights into modding the game 😉.

- “[Adding custom, craftable items](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/tutorial-how-to-add-a-custom-craftable-item/4782?u=voxel_pirate)” _(adding own items to the recipe-list of ingame professions / crafters)_
- “[Adding additional looks for your settlers](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/tutorial-how-to-add-additional-looks-for-your-settlers/5028?u=voxel_pirate)” _(adding additional female heads to increase the diversity)_
- “[Adding custom views / windows](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/tutorial-adding-custom-views-windows/5054?u=voxel_pirate)” _(adding custom views and link them to commands and entities)_
- “[Adding custom professions](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/tutorial-adding-custom-professions/5092)” _(adding full working and custom designed professions)_
- “[Adding custom animations](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/tutorial-adding-custom-animations/5186?u=voxel_pirate)” _(adding custom made animations, not overwriting the existing ones)_
- “[Preview of the Weaver (Patch r22)](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/spoiler-preview-of-the-weaver-patch-r22/4896?u=voxel_pirate)” _(should be in the game soon)_
- “[Preview of the Journal (Patch r27)](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/spoiler-preview-of-the-journal-patch-r27/5044?u=voxel_pirate)” _(actually a deprecated feature)_
- “[Display Actual Seed (Patch r27)](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/spoiler-display-actual-seed-patch-r27/5058)” _(hopefully will be adjustable in the future)_

wow, its almost like we have a “helping hand”, guiding the masses towards helpful information… 👼

will this list contain only your own tutorials, or will it perhaps become a repository for all sorts of tutorials?

Selfish as I am I was thinking first of all about my own tutorials… so I also find them without searching for them too long 😉.

… as Stephanie just did provide some indepth details in the thread about adding custom views.

P.S. Just added an indicator (✅) for threads with some additional information provided by the devs.

**Update:** Added a link to the new tutorial (custom animations).

There is a file that you have to mixinto that has a list of all the available crops.  
Here it is: `stonehearth -> services -> server -> farming -> data -> initial_crops.json`

**Edit:** If you meant harvestable, like boulders or trees, you add this:

> “stonehearth:resource\_node”: {  
> “task\_group\_name” : “stonehearth:task\_group:harvest”,  
> “harvest\_overlay\_effect” : “/stonehearth/data/effects/harvest\_plant\_overlay\_effect”,  
> “description” : “harvest\_plant”,  
> “resource”: “_item produced when harvested (e.g. stonehearth:oak\_log)_”  
> }
