Description
In vanilla Starbound, the only way to get Snowballs necessary to make Ice Cream and Snowcone recipes is to fly to cold planets and pick snow up off of the ground...

I don't know about you, gentle reader, but the first culinary skill I learned as a child was how to freeze water, followed quickly and naturally by how to crush frozen water.

This mod introduces two basic recipes, in Starbound fashion, to all levels of the workbench, allowing you to create Ice, which can then be crushed into Snow. Progression also follows standard Starbound style:
  • Crafting Ice is known from the beginning of the game (pretty sure you threw enough after-training parties during your Protectorate Academy days to know how to freeze water).
  • Picking up Ice for the first time triggers an epiphany in the act of crushing Ice into Snow (because you can't know everything from the get go).
  • From there, vanilla progression takes over for weaponizing Snow at an Anvil (o_O), then preparing weaponized Snow, aka Snowballs, into dessert. Go home Starbound, you're drunk.

I believe snowy trees also drop snow when you chop them.

I have a few of those planted in a gaden biome and they drop snow. I don't recall any mod I have installed doing that, so it must be vanilla.

I was actually considering something like that for myself. I agree, the rate of snowball drops is downright annoying. Give me a bit to look in to it. It will, of course, be a separate mod.

can you make a mod that makes snowball's not drop on the ground when you break them because i hate getting that shit

It's likely the latter, more than anything for sorting purposes. One makes glass at the furnace, so why not glass blocks? One makes various metal ingots at the furnace, so why not the metal blocks as well? Hunting consumables at the foraging station instead of the anvil? It all comes down to identifiable(sp) themed and tabbed sorting.

It's simple to make so I can make it, but I've been wondering if the devs intentionally put snowball in anvil for balancing purpose (so that we can't craft unlimited weapon on snow planets), or simply because snowball is a weapon so it has to be in anvil?

Sorry, but no. As stated in a previous (misspelled) comment, I'm not gooing to alter any vanilla recipes with this mod.

Would you be willing to move snowballs to hand crafting menu if I said "pretty please?"
Xaliber 3 Aug, 2017 @ 4:00am 
Yeah, sorry, that was meant for the vanilla game, not your mod.
