Game Talk The Lab
#1

I wanted to add some simple things to cdda so I made a mod containing them.

this mod contains:
-phenol production from willowbark
-acetone from acetic acid
-aspirin from acetic anhydride
-acetic anhydride and synthesis
-gypsum from walls and usage to get sulfuric acid
-sulfur from sulfuric acid and a reducing agent
-blunderbuss ammo able to be crafted with matchhead powder
-egg shells and conversion to limestone
-weak antibotic production (sulfa drugs)
-crude disinfectant from things like bleach and vodka
-caffeinated caramel
-ammonia from bird litter
-aspirin-like tea from willow bark
-yeast spread (marmite) to use up excess yeast
-some more blunderbuss weapons
-arming cap, a helmet to go among side the gambson
-wooden armor for inawood characters
-digging up and replanting trees
-crafting wooden shovel from log
-smg from pistols for 9mm and .22
-shock protecting underarmor
-stimulant pills crafting recipe
-food from birch bark and log (edible part of bark)
-made gravel effectively unsmashable and able to have furniture moved over it
-oral pills made from morphine or heroin (same properties as poppy painkiller)
-a way to break up large rocks using fire and water (based on fire-setting mining technique)
-a recipe for gasoline (based on mesitylene and pseudocumene)
-ability to fill in the deep water found in swamps
-white phosphorus based incendiary
-black powder based on bleach and sugar (bleach is converted to sodium chlorate)
-hydrochloric acid from plastic (based on combustion of pvc)
-makeshift car battery from device batteries
-oil lamp based soldering iron (pro: no electronics, con: bulky)
-offal jerky
-dried blood
-dried offal
-cinnamon production (based on mixing cinnamaldehyde with flour)
-ammonia and sulfur from meat (based on rotting meat)
-recipe for smokeless powder (based on cordite)
-ammonia and sulfur from meat (based on rotting meat)
-magnesium from salt water
-potassium hydroxide from wood ash
-craftable light battery (based on silver zinc battery)
-flintlock flechette (flintlock ammo needing flechettes instead of lead)
-scrap brass and getting zinc and copper from brass

known issues:
-you can od on caffeinated caramel
-trying to add a lift requirement to the moving tree contruction failed (it didn’t see the boom crane vehicle)
If anyone can give a solution to these issues would be appreciated

notes:
-this is my first mod so feedback on mistakes I made would be appreciated
-feel free to add features of this mod into the main game (I made the mod because I don’t know how to add stuff to the main game)
-this is my first time using github so let me know if there are problems downloading the mod

What SHOULD be more realistic?
#2

Very nice. Some typos here and there (missing capitalizations, commas, a missing “from” in the Marmite entry), but I think I’ll throw it in and see if anything breaks.

#3

No crashes yet, so all the I’s are crossed and T’s dotted as it were. I did notice that the baking recipes that use eggs do not produce eggshells as a byproduct as the other egg recipes do. Not sure how you’d fix that without separating the recipes that use fresh eggs from the ones that use powdered entirely.

#4

in regards to your known issue:
all items that give the stimulant effect can cause an overdose.

#5

Thanks but why is the stimulant effect of things like caffeinated chewing gum capped at 31?

#6

added the following
-shock protecting union suit (that can be worn close to skin)
-stimulant pills: phenol+(zinc or aluminum)+glycerol + formic acid + ammonia ->stimulant pills
-food from birch bark and wood (the edible part of bark)
-made gravel effectively unsmashable
-smg from pistol parts (for .22 and 9mm)

Is this the proper way to indicate I added more stuff or is it too spammy?

#7

You could probably edit in a changelog to your original post, but I doubt anyone feels all that strongly if you don’t. (I could be wrong, this is the internet after all)

#8

Thanks for the advice, I’ll probably do that when I get a chance, unless people complain of spam i’ll also post once a month ish of stuff I recently added.

#9

new this month:
-oral pills made from morphine or heroin (same properties as poppy painkiller)
-a way to break up large rocks using fire and water (based on fire-setting mining technique)
-a recipe for gasoline (based on mesitylene and pseudocumene)
-ability to fill in the deep water found in swamps
-white phosphorus based incendiary
-black powder based on bleach and sugar (bleach is converted to sodium chlorate)
-hydrochloric acid from plastic (based on combustion of pvc)
-makeshift car battery from device batteries
-oil lamp based soldering iron (pro: no electronics, con: bulky)

other notes:
-I fixed the typo Invalid_Username pointed out (took awhile because I read comment, thought about doing later, then promptly forgot)
-I didn’t get around to doing planting new trees this month because adding other stuff was more interesting to me (I still plan on adding it eventually).

#11

Once we’re out of this content freeze, I’m sure more than a handful of these additions would get accepted into the game if you try to mainline it.

#12

duly noted. thanks for the feedback.

#13

stuff added:

  • magnesium from salt water
  • potassium hydroxide from wood ash
  • craftable light battery (based on silver zinc battery)
  • flintlock flechette (flintlock ammo needing flechettes instead of lead)
  • scrap brass and getting zinc and copper from brass

a few other notes:

  • the delay in this update was from me taking a break from cdda, I getting back into cdda now
  • my mod is based on version 11560, I’m waiting for auto-builder to get fixed.

edit: forgot about scrap brass
