Hello hello!

You may know me from mods like Bicycle/Skateboard/Kick scooter, Realistic Temperature, Nature's Call, Horse Mod, or Military Tents.

Today I've finally finished my spiritual successor to my second ever mod I made which is called Better Building, so I aptly named this new one Better Building Plus. It's FULLY Lua, NO manual installation needed, just sub on the workshop and you're good to go.

Better Building Plus (or BBP), is a much more extensive building mod than the first one, it's more similar to how you would build houses in The Sims.

To get started, first find or craft an empty blueprint, then grab a pen and you can start planning your building.

In the planning mode you first draw rectangles to mark the rooms you want to have, and once done with that, you will enter the editor where you can place floors, walls, windows, doors, appliances, furniture and roofs (with gables and eaves!).

You then just pick a spot where you want to start building your structure, put down a construction site and start building by right clicking on it. The building happens automatically, as long as you have the materials and tools needed. When you run out of materials in your inventory you'll automatically go to pick up more from nearby containers if they're filled with the stuff you need.

The main feature of this mod that makes it different from most other tile placement/building mods is that BBP uses my structures framework which creates actual IsoBuilding and IsoRoom from the areas you designate, and those are what makes the vanilla pre-placed houses render the way they do. Vanilla player made buildings don't get those, which is why trying to extend an existing building or make a whole house from scratch never looks quite the same in terms of how walls cut away, or how roofs render etc.

This also means that light switches works the same way they do in regular houses, and if the world power/water is on then those already works in the constructed house too.

It has progression which is tied mostly to your carpentry skill, the higher your skill, the more type of stuff you can build. You can however also find magazines as loot that teach you more pieces to build. At carpentry level 5 you also unlock the ability to study a piece out in the world and learn how it's made, so you can then build it on your own.

Fully MP compatible.

It's a pretty extensive mod, so let me know about any issues, bugs or just general feedback!

There are more features planned like basement building, optional mini-games for the construction, configurations for popular tile packs, and more!

Hello folks!

Yes it's true, the moment you have all been waiting for, BALLS have been added to the Horse Mod! (No they don't shrink in the cold, yet)

The balls serve no functional purpose, but it's an important detail and an essential part of any video game horse.

Hello survivors!

I've been working on some tools for modders lately, and one of them turned out to be pretty cool and something that the entire community might be into.

It's called PZ Survivor Studio, it's a web app (also available as a desktop app) where you have a 3D player character that you can dress, equip weapons, and play animations on, and then render PNGs, GIFs and MP4s to share with others. It's fully adapted for mobile as well.

You can either create a new survivor from scratch, or you can import one from your PZ saves!

The studio replicates the shader and rendering methods that PZ uses in-game, so it stays true to the graphics of the game. It also comes with an isometric camera view that has the exact same angle and tilt as the in-game camera.

You can run it either fully local in your browser by pointing it to your installed game files and mods (limited to desktop only), or you can use the built-in vanilla assets that are hosted by the app in case you want to do it on your phone or a computer without PZ installed.

There's a completely optional sign-in feature that gives you access to some extra sharing options, you can render an image/video and have it hosted by the app, so you can share it as a link right away, no need to upload it anywhere else. You can also share a detailed view version of the render which has a panel that shows all the gear you have equipped.

For modders, there's a separate steam auth login they can use and through that they can give permission for me to host their modded assets so that they can be used in the online version as well.

It's been a fun project to mess around with, and I have a few more plans it! (First up is adding so that you can put items in the equipment slots, like a baseball bat on your back for example)

Let me know what you think!

Black Powder Gunsmithing is a new mod that the awesome Nik and I worked on together (commissioned by Paramilitary Opossum), with Nik making all the models and textures, and I made the animations and scripts (and some updates to the Gunworks framework that's used).

It adds four new 18th and 19th century rifles, one flintlock shotgun, and three new revolvers, with their respective ammo. They all require black powder packaged into paper cartridges as well as their projectile, and some require percussion caps as well.

Everything in the mod can be crafted from scratch, all the guns, the ammo, the percussion caps, and black powder.

There's some custom maintenance logic applied as well, so if you don't regularly maintain them using lard/butter and a rag, they'll break after ~50 shots.

Are they the most efficient weapons available? No. But they're pretty fucking cool right?

Fried the eggs in butter and sesame oil, then used salt, pepper, garlic powder, curry powder and some mystery spice I picked up from the chinese market that I'm not sure what it is but it has like a spicy BBQ vibe going on

Shredded adobo marinated chicken, with some peanut sauce mix (basically crushed peanuts, brown sugar and chili powder lol), some mystery spice, and some sweet chili sauce. Slapped that with some cheese on a tortilla and fried it in sesame oil

Really fucking good

Hello everyone!

I've just dropped a new update for the B42 Bicycle mod which adds sidecars as attachments!

Credit for the incredible model and textures goes to Large_Flamingo who very kindly offered to make them for free

There's 6 different textures, one of them is rare and can only be found in a specific type of building, you'll have to explore to find it!

The sidecar can of course carry a lot of loot, but not just that, it can also carry live animals! You can now take your chickens, rabbits, raccoons, lambs, and piglets on leisurely bike rides.

The patch also has a few other tweaks and fixes, like pedals are now attached to bicycles and will rotate in sync with the animations.

Hope you like it, and as always just let me know if there's any issues!

Whisked two eggs with a bit of flour, sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of milk to go with the sweetness of the brioche and prep my buds for the custard one

This turned out like 100x better than I thought it would, holy shit

No clue what the spice with the old lady is, but it's so good, I put it on everything

Also some crushed up peanuts and crispy fried onions for texture and extra flavor

It's only fair that we take turns

Shredded BBQ chicken, fries, chopped up shallots, and cheese

​

Gobble gobble

So fucking good dude, it's beef, rice and mandioca which they said is "like potato but not potato"

So fucking good, woah

It had some onions too. Brioche bread with honey mustard on the bottom and homemade big mac sauce on top

No further explanation needed

Unhinged my jaw like a fucking snake to get this down

And yes, I was out of cheese, it's sad

From bottom up: Brioche bagel, cream cheese, red onions, butter/sesame oil fried eggs with various spices, bacon, pickles, creamy chipotle sauce, bagel

Saw a tip on some random cooking youtube video that said to spread thin layer of mayo on the bun, then fry it in the pan, makes for a really nice texture, highly recommend
