Snow is water [MP Working - b41.74]

Description
Info
Snow is still water, so Rain Collectors and Metal Barrels will be filled when snowing, just at a slower rate (50%).
It's a small mod that I created for myself for winter storm playthroughs. It works great paired with mods such as Cryogenic winter, Eternal Snow or Infinite Weather. Mod won't be updated for a while since people don't like that as much and I don't have much time.
The standard version works in SP and MP the latest builds!

WARNING
Do not use the beta version (snowiswaterbeta), it's been broken for versions past 41.74 and I don't have time to fix it. If you want to use the mod, use the Standard version/mod file (snowiswater)

Features
Included in the Standard Version ( snowiswater ):
  • Rain Barrels (both variants) are filled up when it snows at a slower rate (50%).
  • Metal Barrels are filled up when it snows at a slower rate (50%).

In the Beta Version ( snowiswaterbeta ):
Once again, do not use past version v41.75
  • Items such as Pots and Buckets will also fill up when snowing with tainted water. This should work without a problem in MP, but it's labeled as a beta version since there could be some issues with it.
  • Added configurable settings with " ModOptions" to change the ratio in which all the items fill up. The default is 50% but can be changed to 25%, 75% and even 100%.
Planned features (WIP):
  • Improved option to add "realism" to the snow/water limit and filling rate on barrels.
  • Texture changes deppending on the weather.

Beta Incompatibilities
As of patch 41.74, I have been informed that certain mods that add new items seem to break when the full version is working. I am currently working on a fix to adress these issues but it may take a while. For now, either switch to the "lite" version of my mod or try to avoid mods that add "fillable" containers, as they will be the ones causing the errors (i.e: Snake's mod pack).
As of newer versions, the Beta version of the mod breaks certain actions due to the way the mod overides functions. I recommend to stop using the beta version and use the standard for now.

If you liked the mod, please let me know
I really appreciate all the comments and positive feedback I've received. Thanks a lot to all of you who decided to spend some time to write them down :)

John, are you using the correct file? The beta version is the one giving issues and the other one should work correctly. Please check that as instructed in the description of the mod

Yeah, it is actually insane how many times since 2022 I have come back here, hoping to see an update that would finally make this work. Such a simple QoL mod, so popular, and yet, it manages to stay as of the few exceptions in my gigantic modlist, that still somehow does not work...

Thank you, your mod was a must have in all of my permafrost B41 runs :spiffo:

diabolically terrible mod. the fact that you somehow managed to make a qol mod cause incompatibilities with 90% of the popular workshop items in pz is absolutely insane.

i would be on B42 but there isnt MP yet

Which is why everyone should play B42 without mods for a while. B42 is a lot more then just animals in the wild and a lot of mods are no longer needed because what they did has been added to B42.
