What features do you like from other mods? I'm curious.
I used the random generation code from GNAMOD as a base and then played around with some of my own settings as well. It mainly affects the terrain and biome generation, in the sense of how even or uneven the terrain is. Mostly it generates less water and extreme mountains.
I also surrounded the center city with a forest biome, because I like to build just outside the center city, but then I surrounded the forest circle with burnt forest and wasteland rings to make it a challenge to get to the center city.
From the True Survival mod, I added fiber rope, purification tablets and sticks. The rope and sticks I use in various recipes like the bow and arrows, stone pickaxe, etc.
I changed locked doors to not be destroyed when damaged, but rather downgrade to an unlocked door. Sort of like breaking the lock instead of breaking down the door. It can then be upgraded with a doorknob if you wanted to. I still want to merge in lockpicks as well, so that you can either damage locked blocks, or lockpick them.
From the ComSenMod I used a few loot balancing ideas like having certain loot only showing up where you would normally expect to find it. Like never finding guns or ammo in trash, but rather in shotgun messiah crates, gun safes, etc. I also merged in some of the recipe ideas like using cloth and cotton for the sleeping bag and using the sticks from true survival with plant fibre, stones and a torch to craft a campfire. It also changes the biome generation by decreasing birds nests and the big rocks that gives stone, iron and nitrate powder.
I also made the wasteland and burnt forest biomes spawn more loot and surface resources than the other biomes. It gives me a reason to go there
Then I still want to merge in the skinning knife and butchers knife from valmod. I think the lockpicks are from Project Z, and I think from the same mod there are sewing needles, which together with thread can be used to sew up deep wounds that doesn't heal with band aids or med kits.
That would about cover everything I can remember from other mods so far.
I might remember some other stuff later and implement those as well.
For now these will be the added features I will play with and then start tweaking the balancing of harvested resources and loot until I find a balance that I like.
I can share the Xml files with you to check out later down the line when I feel "happy" with the changes if you want.
I just copy the stuff the authors of those mods did, so I cannot claim it as my own, except for the small little changes I make.
Sorry for the long reply.
I hope you didn't fall asleep reading that!
