[DEVBLOG#18] Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Production (Patreon)

On this development blog we will focus on what's coming in a new Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Production module, which will go out to Plasteel-tier beta testers pretty soon.

This very mod introduces more efficient ways for you to craft, smith and manufacture items. I have decided to add industrial workbenches (called large workbenches for the sake of simplicity), which boost the workspeed by 20%. Each of them is the size of a fabrication bench (2x5 tiles).

Thanks to clever coding, we are able to allow modded recipes to work on them - therefore any mods that you have, any items that they add, will be craftable on the new workbenches as they inherit the recipes from their smaller counterparts.

Additionally, the large cooking stove will allow for bulk production of meals! A feature greatly requested.

I have also decided to add electric drug labs, electric butcher and electric stonecutter to further boost the workspeed, since most workbenches have manual and electric versions.

A small fabrication bench which allows only for components to be crafted - no other recipes are allowed on it, will give you a chance to separate component assembly line and power armor workshop.

On top of that, we are also adding new linkable facilities that provide corresponding workbenches with work speed buffs. They stack with the universal Tool Cabinet, which in total allows you to boost workspeed by further 16%.

I hope you enjoyed this hefty little devblog and make sure to drop a comment letting me know what you think. After all, you're here to give me feedback, so utilize this right!

Signing off for now.

Next update log will most likely discuss new animal mods that are scheduled to go online as soon as I record the sounds.
