when I craft plastic which takes 2 barrels of petroleum I only get 1 barrel back
I think this has to do with your skill level.
If you have everything fully skilled with crafting plastic it only takes 1 barrel of petroleum!
I do not think it is possible to make this another way unfortunately
will there be a update so you will get 2 barrels back instead of 1?
Would you not just get an extra barrel out of nowhere each time you craft something? Or what exactly do you mean?
Doh... Just me being stupid. Sorry mate. It's working as intended now
No worries. Glad it works!

I just checked my files and installed the mod on a fresh version of Eco. For me, it is working fine and the server starts correctly. Are you sure you dragged the files in the correct corresponding folders as mentioned in the Installation Guide?
If it is still not working let me know and we will find the solution.

[plain]Updated to V3.1[/plain]
QuoteThe mod now works with the newest Eco Version of 8.3.X! I also removed the two different versions and just made one version out of it.
First of all, big thanks to @Looh & @mampf for this forum.
For me, it was the one with the highest quality out of all and a very friendly and helpful community. Also, this is the first time I tried making mods for a game and I really enjoyed it and I will definitely continue this once I have more time!
All in all, I think it is safe to say that you build something amazing!
As a little goodie everyone that published a mod on this page (and has a account in good standing) until the ownership change will get access to the dev-tier benefits in regards of special forums access and github access. (If they don't already have it) I'm still checking if we can also upgrade your Eco accounts to dev tier.
Also since I only got a normal eco tier license I am really excited to get access to the GitHub. I was wondering how this will work?
I will try to update the mod today if i find the time!
Hi NoXid,
I have edited my post accordingly.
I wish I had given you a pm/notice first, but for some reason thought you had sort of abandoned the forum (don't ask why -> no reason other than last update on mod was 27.August). Anyway, besides my lifestory, thank you
No worries my friend! All good. You just wanted to help the other people out and that's a good thing.
Display MoreSince this has not been updated in quite a while:
Because the string definition in the partial class (I believe) is not string anymore, but has changed to locstring, this mod does not work anymore.
Solution to bring back barrels is alot easier than you would think.
1) In the [ICODE]Server\Mods\AutoGen\Item[/ICODE], find epoxy.cs, gasoline.cs, plastic.cs & syntheticrubber.cs
2) Back up these files simply through copy the file [ICODE]ctrl+c[/ICODE] and [ICODE]ctrl+v[/ICODE]. Rename from [ICODE].cs[/ICODE] to e.g. [ICODE].backup[/ICODE]
3) Now open each of the original [ICODE].cs[/ICODE] files in a text editor (notepad does the job)
4) Find this line:
(Where in this example epoxy is the item example, but equally "easy" to find in the other ones)
5) Edit to this:
Codethis.Products = new CraftingElement[] { new CraftingElement<EpoxyItem>(), new CraftingElement<BarrelItem>(), };
It's tested & verified, and simpler (imho) than to continuously replace the files for each update with potentially a new change.
All kudos & ingenuity goes to NoXid for thinking & implementing a viable & easy solution to this problem.
If these snippets of code in any way violate any rules regarding code, I will remove immediately.
Hello Daniel,
I did not notice that the mod doesn't work anymore. Thank you for the information for the others in the meantime.
However, I updated the mod again and it is working fine now. If anyone has any problems feel free to contact me via the forum or discord (NoXid#8912)
Best Regards
NoXid

Really good idea. This should make that the developers who really put effort in their mods get rewarded!
Amazing! This will make the life easier for all modders and those who use the mods! I will try it out asap

[plain]Updated to V1.1 - Now Version with Gasoline[/plain]
QuoteSince technically you don't loose a barrel for refueling your vehicle I added to the Gasoline recipe that you get a barrel back. When refueling your vehicle in real life you also don't lose the barrel.
For Everyone who wants just the Epoxy, Plastic and Synthetic Rubber Recipes I added the Core Version.
For Everyone who wants the new Epoxy, Plastic,Synthetic Rubber and the Gasoline Recipes I added the Extra Version...
