Charcoal Reforged – Balanced & Modernized

New Poultice Recipes. Salt Peter Recipe, New soil recipes, roadmap to more uses for charcoal but still balanced with Vanilla Mechanics.

• Updated for Vintage Story 1.21+ (modern JSON standards, fixed broken healing items).

• Poultices rebalanced into a progression system:

  • Removed Primitive Antiseptic, was overpowered.
  • Removed Charcoal Poultice, split into two variants that aligned better with stock items.

  • Added Charcoal Poultice (from reeds) → Heals 3

  • Added Charcoal Poultice (from linen) → Heals 5, heals over 8 seconds instead of 10

  • Added Ash-Honey Poultice (from reeds) → Heals 5

  • Added Ash-Honey Poultice (from linen) → Heals 7, heals over 8 seconds instead of 10

  • • Updated charcoal to use charcoal powder as of V1.1.0 of the mod.

      • Adds progression, making the need of a quern to use recipes.

• Textures updated with clearer differentiation between reed and linen variants.

• Kept compost features from the original mod (biochar, woodash, nitrate, nitratemix)

  • Updated texture to distinguish them better.

  • added some tools to recipes (RPin fun)
  • adjusted timing in barrel.
    • balance 
  • Nitrate mix can be used in together with things in mod that would typically use compost.
  •  
• Recipes for Soil
  • Medium fertility
    • uses nutrient ingredients and low fertility soil
  • High fertility
    • Uses medium soil and more nutrient ingredients

This is a modernized and rebalanced continuation of the Charcoal Expanded&nbsp;mod originally by OldSchool3038. All source credit and original code and idea goes to them.&nbsp;&nbsp;

If OldSchool3038 asks me to take this down, I will. I have yet to learn how to code so I used their original .dll, but can do JSON magic pretty well.
