Earthworks Unofficial Extended Life
This project is a fork of the Earthworks modification that hadn't received updates for an extended period and now continues development in this version.
Technical information:
- Based on the original Earthworks mod
- Developed as a fork to maintain compatibility with new game versions
Features and content
The modification adds various building materials to the game, inspired by ancient and prehistoric construction technologies. The main focus is on accessible materials that humanity used in the early stages of its development.
Main building materials:
- Primitive constructions - Wattle and daub, wicker structures, rammed earth, and adobe bricks
- Modern analogues - Concrete, cinder blocks, cordwood
- Decorative elements - Slate in different colors (blue, purple, green) with corresponding shingles and tiles
- Specialized blocks - Gabions filled with dirt, sand, and gravel
Player benefits
Early game accessibility Many materials require minimal resources for crafting, making them ideal choices for initial constructions. Wattle and daub blocks, rammed earth, and adobe have strength comparable to stone but with significantly lower crafting costs.
Extensive building possibilities Each block type includes a complete set of construction elements:
- Vertical and slanted surfaces
- Fences and dividers
- Flat coverings and transitions
Technical features
- Dry fitted stone offers blast resistance almost reaching obsidian level
- Woven gabions can be collapsed under specific conditions
- Carpenter's tools allow rotating framework blocks directly in the game world
Unique framework system The signature timber framing system offers fully customizable structures. Each infill type has 39 different rotatable patterns, opening thousands of possible combinations for creating unique building designs.
