Snow is water [MP Working - v1.3.1]
Snow is still water, so Rain Collectors and Metal Barrels will be filled when snowing, just at a slower rate (50%).
It's a small mod that I created for myself for winter storm playthroughs. It works great paired with mods such as Cryogenic winter, Eternal Snow or Infinite Weather. Mod won't be updated for a while since people don't like that as much.
Included in the Light Version (v1.1 - snowiswater ):
- Rain Barrels (both variants) are filled up when it snows at a slower rate (50%).
- Metal Barrels are filled up when it snows at a slower rate (50%).
New to the Full Version (v1.3 - snowiswaterbeta ):
- Items such as Pots and Buckets will also fill up when snowing with tainted water. This should work without a problem in MP, but it's labeled as a beta version since there could be some issues with it.
- Added configurable settings with "ModOptions" to change the ratio in which all the items fill up. The default is 50% but can be changed to 25%, 75% and even 100%.
Planned features (WIP):
- Improved option to add "realism" to the snow/water limit and filling rate on barrels.
- Texture changes deppending on the weather.
Fixed Issues (in v1.3.1)
- Bottles that can be filled up are causing some issues (tainting their water when outside and giving errors if empty). This error has been fixed but will be patched with the next release to avoid complaints about "version issues" with servers.
A new separate mod file (snowiswaterbeta) has been added to the mod folder. Select that one instead of the v1.1 file.
This version should work in MP but please bear in mind that it is labeled as BETA for a reason. If you want the new features and are kind enough to try it out, please let me know if any bugs show up in the discussion section so I can take a look at it.
As of patch 41.71, I have been informed that certain mods that add new items seem to break when the full version is working. I am currently working on a fix to adress these issues but it may take a while. For now, either switch to the "lite" version of my mod or try to avoid mods that add "fillable" containers, as they will be the ones causing the errors (i.e: Snake's mod pack).
