[B18] Rainbeau's Mods -- Lots of Stuff! Take a Look!

[Kiame]

dburgdorf aka Rainbeau has been absent, but I believe we can deduce what's okay to do with his mods based on two things.

1. He includes sources with all his mods.

2. In the OP, he gives permission for anyone to distribute the mods as they like in their modpack, or use them to create derivative mods.

If you're a modpack maker and want to include any of these mods in your pack, or if you're a modder and want to use them as the basis of derivative mods, please feel free to do so. I ask only that you let me know about it.

Given distribution and the content itself are essentially being waived so long as you let him know (probably drop a PM or comment on the relevant workshop submission) I think it's safe to say publishing unofficial updates in his absence is perfectly reasonable.

Yes i did see all of that. IMO it's best to give the original author some time to respond before taking/updating their work (even if permission is given indirectly)

Would you work on it Kiame? If this mods gets "taken" by somebody else I would love it to be by somebody active and with good modding knowledge.

I have noticed that a couple of his mods appear to have been rebuilt or absorbed by other mods.

There is a new mod "Thanks for all the Fish" that adds a fishing spot nearly identical to the one from Rainbeau's fishing mod.  The only part that wasn't included was the shellfish trap. 

The fertile fields terraforming has been adjusted and built into the Vegetable Garden Project.   The VGP version isn't as versatile, but it allows the creation of fertile and plowed fields in locations without those items. 

We still need archipelagos though, and the stone bridges that Rainbeau had would be nice. 

[rawrfisher]

Theres a bridges mod that adds stone bridges on steam iirc

@dburgdorf Really miss your Concrete mod. It has the only good-looking embrasures in the workshop.

[bigheadzach]

Flexible trait and backstory reform would also be welcome.

Personally I'm super missing the configurable maps and factions mods, I just love building into a giant rock that hits every border

You could consider Impassable Map Maker too: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=31379.0

Looking at the Workshop, it seems while Rainbeau hasn't said a word during the entire 0.19 unstable testing period, and he has been signing on to Steam, so it does seem like he's just plain burnt out on modding. Not much point in waiting.

Yeah, I've already repurposed his textures for another mod. Gotta work with what we've got.

Actually @Kiame, I have tried it and like the concept but I didn't like that there was a ring around the mountain, if it were more like you start in a small pocket on one side and the rest of the map is filled (including the unbuildable area) then I'd totally be all up on it

[Kiame]

I did try that but the game sadly doesn't handle having no egde bery well 

[Sixdd]

Ah, that's too bad. I suppose if I wanted it badly enough I could just use your mod and then devmode the edges of the map solid.

Not sure if this is the best place to post it, but I do hope Rainbeau is doing alright. The impenetrability of the web means he could be doing anything from taking a break from modding to recovering in an ICU.

On a less macabre note, I personally would greatly appreciate an updated Editable Backstories. I had hand-written a large repository of tribal backstories for my own use, and I lack the technical expertise to update the mod to B19.
