Independent technology trees are meaningless, please merge them if possible

@Cocaine™

With all due respect, I believe it might be more appropriate to remove the separate research requirement for the electric stonecutting table.
In vanilla RimWorld, we can see examples like the stove or tailoring bench — the non-electric versions are available from the start, and the electric versions are unlocked automatically once Electricity is researched.
However, the current implementation in your mod requires an additional, separate research step, which differs from the standard vanilla approach.
This can be particularly challenging when starting with the Tribal scenario, where players must first invest 3200 research points into Electricity, and then another 1000 points just for the electric stonecutting table.
I was wondering if this extra step was an intentional part of your design vision.

@Spinel

On 9 Apr, 2021 I removed the custom tab from research. If you mean completely remove the necessity to research the eletric stonecutting table, I haven't done it, so the vanilla stonecutting table doesn't become immediately redundant.

Hi developer, I was wondering if it might be better to include the Electric Stonecutting Table in the electricity research tree instead of giving it a separate research tab. What do you think?

Thank you so much <3 Time to kit out my hovel with some decent stonework

Update:

-Minor update for Rimworld 1.6.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I hope this comment finds you in good health. It came to my attention, that i am indebted to your genius to a rather surprising degree. Since not being able to rely on this mod in the latest downloadable content, i noticed a shocking lack of beautiful walls, doors and sculptures in the domicile of my peasantry. At this very moment, i hear them scratching on the bare stone walls and the rough ground, begging, nay crying out for the comfort of a beautifully sandstone clad lodging.

I simply must hope that you feel so inclined as to update this fine modification, that so deeply, although sneakily, ingrained itself into my style of playing this very game.

I remain with the best of regards,
Sir Bauer

Is this getting 1.6 updated?

nice

OOOOH, Nice

Update:

-Minor update for Rimworld 1.5.

@Spider with a Gun Yes.

Is this compatible with Stonecutting Extended ?

Thanks a lot!

@Гений Yes.

Update:

-Table is now paintable.

Hello, is it possible to make bench paintable?

Apologies, there seems to be something weird going on with biomes and some other mods.

@WarKittyKat You must specify which recipes or mods you are talking about because i just tested with the following mods and all the recipes in the vanilla stonecutter table are avaliable in the electric stonecutting table:

Biomes! Core
Geological Landforms
Biomes! Caverns
Biomes! Islands

Recipes [i.imgur.com]
Video [streamable.com]

Any possibility of compatibility with the biomes mods? Caverns adds a couple new stone types, and Islands adds one.

@thaipuff288 The only mold that "Engine Industries" has, is created in the art bench.

That mod doesn't seem to have any recipe for the vanilla stonecutter table.

Correct me if I'm wrong but i think you confused the art bench for the vanilla stonecutter table.

Can you make your mod compatible with "Engine Industries" please? Because I can't create Mold from your E stone cut out there.

@Rohzdear Yes, you need to research it.

Do I still need to research this if I start the game with the Default Crashlanded start?
It makes sense for Tribals to require researching the electric version of production tables, but Crashlanded survivors already start with Electric Stoves and Tailor Benches despite there being non-electric versions of these.

Good mod regardless. I cannot believe the native game doesn't have this workbench already, who wants their pawns spending all day hitting rocks. Stonecutting doesn't even benefit from Crafting by default.

Not sure stopped with rimworld and building atm a new Modlist.

But yeah removing the mod at the time fixed the errors all i can say.

@Evono This is as late of a reply as it can get but, are you still getting those errors?

Because the way this mod is codded is to make itself available to every recipe that the normal stonecutting bench can do, so technically if these errors came from this mod you should also be getting the same errors when using the normal stonecutting bench.

I suspect these errors might come from the mod(s) that add those custom stones but it's just a guess.

Getting a ton of stoneblock related errors in main menu from this mod , when i remove it the errors are gone.

I tested this a bit more and it seems that Fabricors just flat out refuse to cut stone even on a normal bench. I'll report it to Ludeon later.

One of my favorite mods. Just discovered the new Fabricor mechs refuse to interact with this bench even when the bills are set to mech only. Needs to be looked at unless my save is f'd somehow.

Update:

-Minor update for Rimworld 1.4.

Oh wow this one looks better than the VFE version

There's another mod that gives one. There's a mod that tells you which mod put what in the game....I can't remember which one is better but that will help you know ha ha.

...Isnt there already an electric stonecutting table? Or is that another mod I have that gave me one?

hi fitgal, if you try this mod, it can show you which mod they are from (just in case another mod also uses them)

Somehow I have two different versions of the electric stonecutting table in my game...

The art reminds me of the electric sawmil from alpha 4.

hi alundra, theres an electric sculpting table which uses lasers that might help (i think its part of the jewelerry mods) or maybe stand alone

Would you consider making an electric art bench? It takes so long to make art and you know people use chainsaws and drills and electric saws for that stuff now why can't my guys do that ha ha.

Update:

-Minor update for Rimworld 1.3.

Seems to be working fine on 1.3 so far. May just need to have the version updated with no changes to the mod. I haven't fully tested it though, I just know it can be placed/built with no issues thus far.

update to 1.3 would be appreciated.

Thank you.
A lot of folks have tons of mods installed nowadays, research tabs are crazy :)

Update:

-Removed custom tab from research.

Dear author,

A great mod, but I have a question here:
Are you absolutelly, totally, definitelly sure this mod needs a whole new separate research tab for a single research??

Why not... add it to main at
<prerequisites>
<li>Electricity</li>
<li>Stonecutting</li>
</prerequisites>
<researchViewX>3</researchViewX>
<researchViewY>5.5</researchViewY>

Nice mod <3

-Major update that should make this mod work with all other mods that use the vanilla stonecutter table without manual patching.

very nice mod

Nice

Update:

-Minor update for Rimworld 1.2.

Hey love the mod, any chance it will be getting a 1.2 update?

K thx
