@Acarii try consistent map stone(side effect: meteors dont leave stone floors) and soil relocation

Would you be willing to make a version that lets you convert stone into stony soil? I'd like to clean up the mess the meteors left in my lake.

Update: I updated this mod, now works with the newest version of VFE Medieval. Now, the mod is just a patch. One minor change: Gravel is now the bottom line, you can no longer dig it into Shallow Water. I'll update the description of the mod later.

This mod generates errors. Had to unsub:(

Oh this is sad. your system was so much more rational!

I've noticed that VFE Medieval has made some changes to the way they handle moats. There's now less hardcoding involved. With these modifications, I can streamline much of this mod's code. However, it's a time-consuming process I currently can't undertake, as it requires me to:

> Delve deeply into the VFE Medieval code to understand their current approach.
> Review my own code thoroughly to recall the specifics of what I did and why.
> Implement the actual changes to the code...

So, for the time being, this mod is deprecated. Please, for now, remove it from your mod list.

@Caramel: Sorry, but no. I don't have the right to fork and modify the source code of VFE Medieval. And even if I ask and they gave me permission, isolating the relevant code to make a standalone would be more work than I'm willing to do.

can you make a standalone mod for this?

Would love to see if one could dig down to "deep water" and/or dig stone instead of only soil/sand.

Is there any way to make digging faster? It seems absurd that I can build floored and a furnished room faster than I can dig a 2x2 patch of soil down into mud.

Recompiled for 1.4

hey there, big fan of this mod here. Hoping you're gonna update for 1.4 ^^

@kirsche: I don't know, it depends on how VFE Medieval interacts with that other mod.

ooh, is it possible to integrate this with the soil relocation framework?

@Renchon: Sadly no, the value is hardcoded on the JobDriver of the Dig and Fill tasks... So, it's always 5000 for Digging, and 7000 for Filling, no matter what terrain. Also, a Patch to change those values to something lower may not be possible, as in the way is coded, there is a high chance that Harmony can't reach those values.

Hey, is there any possibillity of changing how much work digging and filling need? I just can't find the right number

@GonDragon Ah, XML edit. Got it. Thank you for the explanation!

@sou This mod does not touch mud, but it can be easily expanded using an XML file to do so. The comment below is from someone who writed the XML to touch the mud in it's own game.

Is mud supported by this mod? Someone wrote below that mud became diggable with this mod, but mud on my terrain remains undiggable.

You are the man, I'll test this later once I finish desk work. Appreciate it! (I don't need the reverse only cause I'm using Eve's framework for soil which can fill deep water even)

@Quiana it should be easy, it's just adding one DEF that looks like this: https://pastebin.com/ZFNbpkVD

@GonDragon I just realized, my colonists aren't standing on the tiles to dig. They stand to the side like a mining job. Would it be possible to add the tile type to the end of the set? I'm not asking you to do it, just wanted to know how easy/hard that would be for myself to add on?

@Quiana To dig, the colonist needs to be over the terrain they are digging. If they dig in Shallow Water to make Deep Water, they will end up trapped on a tile they can't move trough.

Hi GonDragon, I was curious, I looked at the code a bit, it seems the shallow water stopping point is possibly hard-coded into the system? Is there an easy means for someone to say, bolt-on adding deep water into this?

ooh, is it possible to integrate this with the soil relocation framework?

I too felt the original design wasn't quite right and you nailed it in your execution! Had my own look awhile back and saw how the original code wasn't XML friendly, which is the limit of my abilities currently. Adore your API/resource idea!

Haven't much play in standard deserts, but I was majorly disappointed when playing in a cold bog. Discovering that mud was untouchable ruined my original moat plans. I'd either have to resort to research beyond medieval/moisture pumps or pull out the console commands. Thanks to your mod I was able to incorporate mud as being diggable.

"There is also 50% chance that, after digging in the Sand, you find... more sand."

<Anakin Skywalker rage intensifies>

Please add Deep Water

Ran into this completely on accident but after interacting with the digging system this is a MUCH more logical approach (I'm on a desert map and it felt odd that I should be able to get soil) so ty lots!

well done, much more logical system for moat digging.

@Arky No, this mod is to modify how the moats works specifically on vfe medieval.

You can use the original Standalone version of the moats . It's for 1.2, but it still should work fine on 1.3 (Although this mod wouldn't work with it).


Other alternatives are Defensive Moats (continued) , Simple Landfill and I think that you can do something similar with Fertile Fields .

Does it provide the moat feature by itself? I don't want to use vfe medieval but I love moats :(

Thank you!!! Ive been wanting a mod that makes fertile soil moatable.
