Do you know a cave mod?

[Myrah]

Hi guys, been paying Don't Starve for about a year now, love the game, was so much more appealing to me than minecraft. Not to bash minecraft I just could never get into, but the art for this game just sucked me in.

 

Anyways, enough fan-girl gushing. I am looking for a mod that adds gem drop chance to stalagmites in the caves, or something similar. I know you can go deeper into the ruins and find such things, but I would like if at least in the first level of caves, which aren't necessarily easy once your in day 200+, to have some gem possibilities, even if its only the basic gems like red and blue. 

 

Any help would really be appreciated. I've tried searching for one for awhile, but to no avail. 

 

Thanks in advance, and Happy Hunting

 

 

 

EDIT: I just brought up some code for boulder drops and was able to adjust it. I can adjust code, but not really write it. If someone has code for stalagmite drops, I could adjust it....Thanks again in advance.

I would say: Stalagmites drop gems at the moment. Am I right? http://dont-starve-game.wikia.com/wiki/Stalagmite

 

EDIT: Don't know, if Full Stalagmites appear in the higher levels.. though

Yes, you are correct s1m13, there is a drop chance for really big stalagmites, but it is very very low. 

 

If anyone has the code for stalagmite drops, or.......(crosses fingers) someone is bored enough to write it up quick .......I could adjust it to what I think is a "fair" drop chance.

 

I already have the "Rare Items" mod......which I adjusted cause it made it a little too easy for me so I dropped the percentages, but the modder who made it hasn't updated it or included caves in it.

 

Side Note: If someone can provide me with the code, I will combine it with the code I adjusted from the Rare items mod and probably post it so the resulting effect will be a much more rewarding "spelunking" experience, though balanced, so it doesn't feel like a "cheat".

(Can you feel the arguments now Mr.Crabs?)

There is the craftable structers mod that can help you build the stalagmites. Besides that, I don't know. Good luck, however!

Thank you, Trentominous.

 

I will have a look at the code and see if there is anything I can do.

OK. I looked into the mod suggested, but I couldn't find any code that pertained to stalagmites and my coding abilities are fairly limited. Thank you for the suggestion, but if anyone else has an idea, I am open to it.

I found a mod called Very Slow Health Regen that shows and explains how to modify files already in the base game that should help, and the code for the stalagmite loot drop rates is in the "prefabs/stalagmite.lua" and "prefabs/stalgamite_tall.lua". The loot tables are at the very beginning.

 

Hope that helps!

[Myrah]

Thank you Fleakuda! I will have a look at that, and thank you for pointing out the file name. I'll try now

Hi, thanks for your suggestion on the forum for coding stalagmite drops. 

 

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the mod you are referencing on Klei "Very Slow Health Regen"

 

If you happen to have a link, that would be awesome. I'll continue looking though.

 

Thanks again,

Myrah 

 

 

EDIT: OK, I found it on Steam. I'll take a look now and see what I can do.

WOOT!

 

I did it, thanks to all who made suggestions. I now have it so that stalagmites will drop red and blue gems at a fairly decent rate making spelunking worth it for me

 

Now, if I can figure out how to package it as a mod, I will share it on Klei for anyone else who wants that.

The mod that I was talking about was on steam here is the link if you still want it http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=212787800&searchtext=
