What do you mean?

I found the reason, it's not compatible with VEF.

seems some features don't work

@Holgast Add me as a friend sometime and we can talk more.

that would be awesome!

@Holgast I'm relatively new to making mods using C#, but if you want I'd be willing to help maintain this mod going forward. I have an upcoming mod that has specific compatibility with this mod, so I have a vested interest in its existence. :3

updated for current 1.5 and 1.6. I'm not a C# coder so I gotta get someone else to fix it after every update. if it ever stops working, please let me know

flintstones lookin ass

Is anyone else having an issue where the student goes to the desk to learn and just...waits? The teacher never shows up and the student eventually just gives up.

@Tinda, and anyone else who is bothered by how ridiculously oversized the blackboard is compared to its actual footprint, you can change it for yourself by opening the Buildings_Furniture.xml file in the mods folders and editing the line that reads "<drawSize>4</drawSize>". I changed it to "<drawSize>3,2</drawSize>" and feel that it looks much better.

You can also scale the icon for the architect menu by editing the line <uiIconScale>1</uiIconScale> if you want.

got this one:

I started a playthrough with the VFE: Tribals mod and I was so worried that the babies born in the early game were not going to do so well as children. Thank you so very much for this mod! You've saved my colony's children.

The texture of the blackboard is a bit big, it could easily be a 2x4 object. It looks weird when placed immediately next to things. Do you think you might make it slightly smaller, so it fits in its space? It even sticks out sort of through the wall behind it, as seen even in your thumbnail.
Please and thank you for a great mod.

Bad ass. My neolithics apprecite this a lot.

making things out of chunks is pretty fucky, I think I might have included some files in here that allow it if certain other mods are installed

Idea: Make it so that things in this mod need stone chunks to make, instead of stone blocks.

I'm having the same problem and checked the mod version (at least I believe so) via looking through when my subscriptions were updated in the steam profile for workshop items Could it be a mod incompatability that's causing it? I wish I could give more information but idk where to look

could you check if your version of the mod has been updated? steam sometimes doesn't like to actually install updates. the functionality was fixed in the previous update per comments

Doesn't seem to work. Same as Masterofgaming22's comment.

The idea is cool but these Flintstone-style textures looks bit funny

Oh! Didn't know that was how to do it. I'll give it a shot, thanks!

I did get a laugh the first time I saw it in the build menu where it's bursting out of the frame, hah!

understandable! feel free to edit the drawSize to your liking

Good addition to the game, but honestly I think the blackboard sprite is really too oversized, it dominates screen space and blocks things behind it. Even with a pawn standing next to it it's monstrously huge.

wahoo, the C+ guy got back to me with some fresh code, it should work now (tested it). thanks for reporting

probably some things, like the room name, are hardcoded to use the regular blackboard/desk

This mod doesn't seem to work. Put an adult and child in the same room with a neolithic desk and a normal desk, and they will always pick the normal desk. Remove the normal desk and they just wander. Also the room goes from being a classroom to being a normal room.

oh, it's heavily modded - but i'm also curious if the child cant get lessons because it needs to actually have the ability to gain XP somewhere, because i also noticed this kid isn't 'following adults' to learn from them, yesterday i also had a temp kid who was old enough to start actually performing tasks other than just hauling and cleaning.

it is code-wise a carbon copy of the blackboard but with a different graphic, so it should work the same unless something is hardcoded to only use the blackboard. are you using any mods for that or is it just regular biotech?

I'm having issues getting the kid and colonists to use this, lessons is the main focus for a few days and i've even gone so far as to have the colonist in charge of childcare having literally no other work assigned via the work schedule.

This is awesome.

Awesome, I'll put it in my next neolithic run. Thanks very much for the work!

also changed the stats a little, let me know if they should have even more hp/weight

All right, I had a reason for doing it that way (I don't like making dup versions of vanilla furniture) but I totally get the crit. Have changed it to add new buildings instead of replacing the existing ones

Very cool mod, but just realized it replaces the original, rather than adds these. I'd love to see these as a separate set of items, so that I can use them in colonies that advance beyond the neolithic stage. Beautiful work.

Agree with Moxi.
Was it not possible to just make a separate set of items instead of replacing vanilla items?

Agree with moxie, was going to use this for a tribal playthrough where I work up to industrial but can't really do that when the normal blackboard is gone lol

Was it not possible to just make a separate set of items instead of replacing vanilla items?

"Unga comes from the root word 'Ungus" meaning to..."

So it replaces the vanilla things? Could you possibly do it as an addition?

yeah, I set the drawsize higher on the blackboard

I see there is some clipping going on in the screenshot
