Also disallow rotten from your freezer stockpile.

rotted mush is also usefull in chemfuel production.

Vlad0mi3r,
let me guess, you just enable rotted mush at the other stockpile, but you didn't flag "allow rotten" ?

Yep I started playing last night and went and had a closer look. Then I saw the allow rotten and yay it worked. Then I was having one of those why have an allow rotten button at all if I tag allow rotten mush then it should allow rotten mush. Then calmed down and thought its necessary for dealing with those things that rot naturally.

Thanks for the help. :)
Mods I would recommend:
Mending, Fertile Fields, Smokeleaf Industries and the Giddy Up series.

The Mod you must have:

Basic Bridges has been updated:

- Wooden bridges are now made of "stuff," meaning that if you have a mod that adds new types of wood, bridges can now be built from them. Preexisting wooden bridges on saved game maps will pale by comparison. Literally. They will turn white, since they're not made of "stuff" as they're now supposed to be. But they'll still function correctly.

- If you're using "Feed the Colonists," you'll have options at the stove to cook the mod's meals four at a time as well as singly.

- Added traditional Chinese language files, courtesy of Steam user Alane.
- Rainbeau Flambe (aka Darryl Burgdorf) -
Old. Short. Grumpy. Bearded. "Yeah, I'm a dorf."

Nice, finaly bone and bamboo bridges.
Whats about traps ? I don't have the currently active, didn't they used wood too, do you plan to expland them to "stuff" too ?

Honestly, I didn't even think about them.

Basic Bridges has been updated:

- Shellfish traps will now take twice as long as before to catch something, but will yield twice as much per catch, thus providing essentially the same amount of food, but requiring less frequent visits from pawns.

- Traps also now have a chance of taking damage with each catch, rather than always taking damage. This should reduce the need for pawns to run all over the map repairing them constantly.

Something about Concrete i wanted to mention.

Currently there isn't any preequirement to build any of these structures.
Basicly you can remove concrete floors from some mapstructures or buy/trade some from traders and could build ultrastrong wall from the beginning.

I think you put "poured concrete walls" to terraform research, and the "reinforced concrete walls/embrasures" behind that.

dburgdorf

As a minor correction, I'll note that deconstructing concrete floors or other concrete items yields crushed rocks, not actual concrete that can be directly reused. But that doesn't really address your point, as concrete can be made or obtained very early in the game. (That's deliberate, by the way, since concrete was used historically at least as far back as ancient Rome.)

I'm not likely to attach basic poured concrete walls to a tech, as they're no stronger now than granite walls, anyway. (And again, historically, they're comparable to walls actually constructed in ancient Rome.) But you're probably right that reinforced walls and "plasticrete" walls ought to have a tech prereq.

Pawns Are Capable! ("No Traits" Version) has been updated to fix a minor "sort-of" bug:

- Non-violent pawns will no longer be considered armed (to determine whether they're capable of violent actions) if they're equipped with an item that isn't actually a weapon.

Just thought I'd mention, if this hasn't been brought up before, that the stuff categories on the eel leather and squid leather causes some strange combinations on the tailoring table. They're butchered as leather, but the game wants to treat them as fabric, so you can make pretty much any article of clothing out of them. Is this intentional? I just thought it was a little strange.

If you change the stuffProps/categories/Fabric to stuffProps/categories/Leathery in ThingDefsMisc.xml, the squid and eel leather show up in the crafting lists with the other leathers, instead of appearing in a dropdown with the cloths and wools.

No, it's not intentional. It's just a simple oversight. Thanks for pointing it out!  :)
