About CoolerWorkbench

From Thunderstore

It's a workbench, but cooler!

No longer will the trusty ol' workbench

(that got you where your caracter is [but come on, who cares])

stain the beauty of your base.


At it's core this is a simple alternative to the early-game looking workbench. For some, it's just a pretty remodel, but, for those of us who can't stand a second longer looking at that ugly and messy comglomerate of planks and stones that some call a workbench, it is salvation.


New

Worn

Also gives +1 confort.

Also has 50% larger build area.

Also works without a roof.

Also is more durable.

No, I won't upload to nexus, sorry.

My bucket List for this mod

  • Possibly add variants.
  • Make crafting faster when using the cooler of the two workbenches.

Thanks!

Models and textures: Bento (me). Code: Margmas, Azumatt, Grave Bear, Advize iͣzͩeͮ and a little tiny bit me.

Changelog

  • 2.0.0 -> Move code to Jotunn, which means proper use of vanilla components EVERYwhere they are re-used. (Thanks Margmas <3 ).

  • 1.3.0 -> Updated ingame icon.
    updated model to be more detailed.
    Added 'Break' animation.
  • 1.2.0 -> Added Worn State.
    Also new TS Icon.
