Excellent mod! Metal doors are finally useful. I was also really annoyed when a single zombie destroyed my garage doors when I slept.

Alright, what I can take away from this is that the load order does not matter and if both are used in a new save, then it will work, except for the part where Jay's tweaks increase the constructions' HP according to the player's level? Is that what you meant by upgrades?

And surely if you have the time, especially for B42, you could improve the mod's compatibility, especially since Jay's constructs are mentioned in the description, and those rely on Jay's tweaks anyways, to my knowledge. But I am in no rush. There are always nuances to running many mods together. This is just one of many.

@★ John Security ★ I've looked through the code for the mod you're talking about, great mod btw. Here are my findings: new constructions will work with my mod, but upgrades won't, specifically those that have been attacked by zombies before such upgrades . This happens because of the way I designed my mod, not them. I could improve it to take upgrades into account if this turns out to be a big issue for you and other players, so please do let me know. I hope this answers your questions.

Workshop ID: 3189275874
Mod ID: JaysBuildingTweaks
Mod ID: JaysMoreVanillaBuilding
Mod ID: JaysRealisticFireplace

This single workshop item contains 3 mods. 2 that I mentioned. I don't even remember the details to my own question tbh. If the load order even matters.

@★ John Security ★ Do you mind linking the mod you mentioned in your comment? I looked it up but I couldn't find it. Apologies for the late response.
Mitch  [author] 24 Sep @ 4:06pm 
@Alkanshel I've used it alongside with build menu with no problems.
Alkanshel 24 Sep @ 3:56pm 
Does this work with build menu?
★ John Security ★ 12 Sep @ 11:28am 
Correction: Jay's More Vanilla Buildings comes with, and relies on the tweaks mod. So the only dilemma now is which one's gotta load first; Jay's mod or yours?
★ John Security ★ 12 Sep @ 11:25am 
So, it modifies the values for Jay's constructs too. But there is also Jay's building tweaks mod, which, as stated in it's description, modifies ISBlacksmithMenu. It tweaks the HP of metal constructions depending on the player's level. Will it conflict with this mod? If not, which should be loaded first?

Thank you for the answer!
Mitch  [author] 14 Aug @ 5:08am 
@Naireem No need to apologize for asking a simple question.

The handling of barricade health wasn't exposed by the game until build 42. This mod finally felt complete once I could add support for barricades thanks to that update. Unfortunately, despite trying many (believe me when I say many) workarounds, I couldn't find a suitable way to achieve it in build 41.
Naireem 14 Aug @ 4:43am 
Sorry for the question, but why is the barricade option B42 only?
JONIPONI 5 Jul @ 11:14am 
add you add metal door to the list it would be great

@尤龙88 Apologies for the slow response. What issue are you experiencing?
尤龙888 12 Jun @ 6:02am 
@Mitch hopes that the author can update and address the bugs as soon as possible, so that we can use the MOD you made as soon as possible
jörgen 31 May @ 9:31am 
oh wow thats mybad, how is it possible that a gamebreaking bug like this isnt fixed in over 2 months lmao. Sorry boss this mod is the best, hopefully they fix the damn gates
Mitch  [author] 31 May @ 9:23am 
@jörgen This is a bug in the game itself, not the mod. You can find the bug report linked a few comments below.
jörgen 31 May @ 9:14am 
all of the metal gates to be exact, walls and fences works just fine
jörgen 31 May @ 9:12am 
currently whilst using this mod, gates have 0 durability and are instantly broken by a single zombie
Mitch  [author] 28 May @ 5:39pm 
@Cyrisa I see what you mean when you say the new system isn't very configurable at the moment. I will check it out soon and let you know.
Cyrisa 27 May @ 11:35pm 
These are the two settings we can adjust, and I have already.

Your system would be better imo. It would be great if we could repair fences that have holes. But I don't think this mod covers that.
Mitch  [author] 27 May @ 6:37pm 
@Cyrisa I thought there were some options in the sandbox settings to fine-tune this new system. I will take a closer look at it later and take your suggestions into consideration. Thank you for the feedback.
Cyrisa 27 May @ 11:34am 
Looking at the mod I think it covers all metal things or construction. My very first hope was that it would be a configurable option for the bendable fence system. As per usual, the devs don't really let us adjust the new thing until mods do it.
Mitch  [author] 27 May @ 11:23am 
@Cyrisa No, it doesn't work with the new bendable fences framework, it only works with structures that are not handled by it. I haven't explored this mechanic in depth but I think it would be redundant to have both systems working for those fences. Please, do let me know if you think otherwise.
Cyrisa 27 May @ 11:07am 
Does this also work with the new zombie fence tear down system? So that it takes even more zombies before a world placed fence breaks or takes damage.
Mitch  [author] 4 May @ 3:07am 
@ThePsychoDetective It works with any construction targetable by zombies. Unless you are in build 42, the ones you mentioned are not targetable by default. If you want to change that, then use this mod along with Destroyable World Fences .
ThePsychoDetective 4 May @ 2:53am 
Does the mod apply to player built constructions only? or pre built constructions too? like fences around the fire departments?
Kenpa 25 Apr @ 4:11am 
Very simple... very dope. ty
Mitch  [author] 13 Apr @ 5:39am 
@ZZiggs It's only available for build 42.
ZZiggs 13 Apr @ 12:32am 
Hey where are the settings for the metal barricades that are suggested in the screenshot? they don't exist in the sandbox settings.
Mitch  [author] 9 Apr @ 3:46pm 
@Mantha Although I've seen reports from some players stating that the mod works in multiplayer for build 41, I haven't confirmed this myself since I have no interest in multiplayer. I encourage you to test it yourself. The mod has been carefully designed to avoid side effects.
Mantha 9 Apr @ 2:46pm 
Is this compatible with multiplayer in B41/B42? Please add this vital information to the description!
Mitch  [author] 28 Mar @ 5:21pm 
@VaeLLisK Thank you, I've subscribed to that thread. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
Mitch  [author] 28 Mar @ 4:24pm 
@VaeLLisK That’s good to know. I haven’t played much lately, so I haven’t encountered this issue myself. Is there a bug report I can follow? Thanks.
VaeLLisK 28 Mar @ 4:15pm 
Its in vanilla as well so not mod related. Tested with all other mods off etc.
Mitch  [author] 28 Mar @ 3:47pm 
@Izz Could be a mod conflict then. Can you add me here or message me on discord to show me your issue? My discord is offroadmich
Izz 28 Mar @ 3:42pm 
Build 42 yes. Also it's not the mod that's making the gates seem like paper. I just disabled it on my save and the zombies still just walk through them
Mitch  [author] 28 Mar @ 2:54pm 
@Izz Build 42?
Izz 28 Mar @ 2:48pm 
Double Tall Wooden Gate doesn't hold up either even when set to 0
Izz 28 Mar @ 2:41pm 
Sorry, not the Big Pole and Wire. It's the Double Tall Metal Pole Gate and Double Tall Wire Fence Gate I was using
Izz 28 Mar @ 2:39pm 
I've seen these ones shredded despite setting them to 0:

Big Pole Fence Gate
Big Wire Fence Gate

I also had Double Tall Wooden Gate shredded but I haven't tested it with the 0 setting
I think the Wooden Wall (Advanced) with a Wooden Frame holds up though as I haven't seen them destroyed since I installed the mod
Mitch  [author] 28 Mar @ 1:54pm 
@Izz Please mention which gates specifically so that I can check your issue.
Izz 28 Mar @ 1:10pm 
The mod doesn't appear to work for me. Solo zombies tear down my gates like they are made of wet rice paper and barely even slow down. I even tried setting the required zombie count to 0 so that the gates would be invulnerable and I was still getting ambushed in my base by zombies that just tore down the gates and walked straight in.

@sheeps beat me to it, I saw the errors popping up, but i couldnt find out why the logs were happening so i didnt want to just post the lines stated in the error
Mitch  [author] 24 Mar @ 7:28pm 
@sheeps That's good to hear. Please report if you find any more issues.
sheeps 24 Mar @ 7:24pm 
Had to unsub and resub again to force the update, but the error spam stopped.
Mitch  [author] 24 Mar @ 6:58pm 
@🔰 @poopsock @sheeps Please update the mod and let me know if you find further issues.
Mitch  [author] 24 Mar @ 6:35pm 
@sheeps I'm looking into it. Thanks for the error log.
sheeps 24 Mar @ 6:26pm 
Happens when zombies are attacking prebuilt vanilla chain link fences that were previously undamageable.
