I want to introduce a new building ingredient along with the "short iron pipe". As you have noticed from these square profiles a lot is made in the game. How to call it for use in crafting (iron doors, iron hatch, iron catwalk and so forth).

What exactly do you want to do ?

If you mean how to use it as a part of a recipe go to items.xml , press CTRL+f and write in pipe , if when you find it you can copy the name and paste it into recipes.xml as an engredient .

If I were you, call that Iron tube rather than Iron pipe.

I Googled "Iron tube" and "Iron pipe", and I got more square shaped image from the result of "Iron tube".

 
Yes, my difficulty is - language :)

I can't use a translator because he doesn't understand the meaning, and I just don't know what the builders call it in English.

(on Russian this called like "metal square profile")

I researched it briefly (on Wikipedia) and found if you want to get technical, it’s structural steel. The type is named according to its cross section: in this case HSS, for hollow structural section. HSS includes square cross sections as well as other shapes. In the UK they’d go more specific, calling it SHS for square hollow section.

Since we’re gamers and not construction workers, I would say players would know what you mean if you call it “square steel tube.” That’s as descriptive as “short iron pipe,” and it passes the google image search test (which, I agree, is a great sanity check on “is this what I think it is?” :) )

 
Thanks :)

what's the right thing ? "metal square tube" or "square metal tube" ?

or, how of one is more beautiful sounds ?

Happy to help. :)

"Square metal tube" is correct. Native English speakers tend to just intuitively order adjectives so that they "sound right," but there are rules: here's a link if you're interested.

skolano, we do ask that everyone post in English, even when talking about other languages, for the sake of understanding each other. I'll translate it for you this time.

Thank you!

 
I have successfully integrated the new item into the mod, now crafting recipes looks more realistic :)

Another issue that i cannot resolve with the help of an translator:

What is "Favales Academy"?

...and, what does the backyard playground have to do with it?

Thanks for all!

Thank Guppy!

Is there a difference in the age of children? Does it make sense if i split spawning - "poppy pants" - to towns, and "Favales academy" - only in the cities ?

By the way, we call it, literally - "children's garden".

 
It's "poopy pants," not "poppy pants." As in, one might encounter children young enough to either call each other by such childish names, or at worst actually have poop-y pants. Forgive me for ruining a crass joke by explaining it, but nobody would actually name a daycare that. :)

A daycare center is specifically for children: most frequently preschool-aged children less than six years old. We use the word kindergarten to refer to the first year of school. An "academy" originally referred to higher education, as in high school or college level (roughly teenagers or older), but I think academy has been used for more things over time since it sounds prestigious. Anyway, looking at Favales Academy itself, I think it's a junior high (roughly ages eleven to fourteen). It has lockers and desks designed for moving between classrooms, but also a playground.

I think both buildings would fit in both towns and cities.

TL;DR: a daycare is for younger children than an academy.

 
Oops, yes, I mixed up the daycare and academy. Poopy pants (poop is feces) is the children's garden, academy is the secondary school.

 
Thanks for clarification!

Yes, i also during the review decided that this is high school, but i entered into a perplexing playground in the backyard...
