Repair master - made by 鹿神ヒハル
[p][/p][p][dynamiclink href="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3386793676"][/dynamiclink]This mod amazes me on a technical level. Repairing items has always been buried deep in our to-do list, but it was never near the top of our priorities. We’ve often debated design questions like: What happens to an item’s quality after it’s repaired? Should it lose a level? Should that depend on how much durability it lost or the skill of the settler repairing it?[/p][p][/p][p]This mod handles all of that beautifully. It treats repairing as essentially recycling - breaking the item down and creating a new one with random quality based on the settler’s skill, just like production. It’s a brilliant use of the existing system, and I love how the modder approached it from that angle and just ran with it.[/p][p][/p][p]The JSON file for this mod is quite hefty, and I can only imagine what a headache it was to put together. ???? As we consider adding a similar feature in future updates, this mod will definitely be on my mind.[/p][p][/p]Decorative plants - made by Maito
[p][/p][p][dynamiclink href="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3365903762"][/dynamiclink]This is one of many creative-focused mods our players have come up with, and it’s such a lovely addition for anyone who enjoys the more sandbox side of things. If you’re the type who dreams of building a grand castle or a charming little village, this mod lets you take that a step further by adding gorgeous, full-grown trees and plants purely for decoration. They spawn tall, lush, and instantly give your settlement a higher aesthetic value.
[/p][p]I really like how mods like this give players new tools to shape the world purely for the joy of it, beyond survival or efficiency. Sometimes, after hours of careful planning and battling the harsh environment, it’s nice to step back and just make something beautiful.[/p][p][/p][p]Decorative plants are actually on our long-term roadmap, so I’ll definitely be taking a few cues from how this modder approached things. It’s inspiring to see players expand the game in directions we always hoped it would grow.
