[ACE Mod] Hearth-Tec

PLEASE STAND BY

"We at Hearth-Tec value freedom above everything else – except the ground. Get ready to survive goblins, undead and even hypothetical spells of mass destruction with our new kit for starting a subterranean town… Your very own vault!"

[ACE Mod] Hearth-Tec is a mod inspired by Cirdain’s "Hearth-Tec" contest for building an underground shelter held in the ACE Discord Server during the month of August, 2020. This mod aims to bring – in a funny and very vaguely in-world/lore friendly way – a bit of the awesome world of the Fallout games into Stonehearth. This happens through a loadout that can be picked by any starting group of any default kingdom.

If you choose such loadout, you’ll then be greeted with some basic Hearth-Tec equipment and recipes – the rest can be obtained from that point forward.

The mod works in a way that if you do not pick the Hearth-Tec loadout, there will be no Hearth-Tec content at all in your game except pitchblende veins – these won’t be able to be smelted but you’ll still be able to use them as common stone, thus not interfering with normal gameplay.

HEARTH-TEC TOOLS
As a Fallout-inspired mod, the heart of its content lies at all the incredible and out-of-ordinary technology provided by the mysterious Hearth-Tec company. Its tools – the Fabricator, Extractor, Replicator and Gas Centrifuge – are the core of the experience, allowing the players to craft and experiment with all sorts of weird recipes.

WIELD THE POWER OF THE ATOM!
Not much to be said about that for now… (Feature incomplete) But yes, you can refine uranium. Enriched Uranium is used to create power cells, a refined item required for building Hearth-Tec work stations! Be careful handling these!

UPDATE YOUR RECIPES WITHOUT RESTARTING
This mod shall probably see some future updates with new recipes and such… Thanks to the amazing Hearth-Tec technology, all users are provided with a Hearth-Tec Terminal recipe! This recipe allows you to create a fancy computer that will allow you to get new recipes every time the mod updates… without having to start over!

I’m currently releasing it as it is to allow for some funny Fallout-inspired contest builds, if anyone wants to try that!
But I do plan on updating the mod with some content in the future… Here are some of the ideas or plans:

SHORT TERM
– Security Armor
– Power Armor
– Security Baton & Riot Shield
– Radiation Effects & Rad-X
– Orca-Cola Quantum
– Bobbleheads!

LONG TERM
– Perhaps some robots, similar to how golems work
– Maybe some unique monsters and a small campaign
– Related vendors/NPCs
– Furniture and decorations
– Maybe some weapons
– Possibly a biome (Wasteland)

[ACE Mod] Hearth-Tec requires the Authorized Community Expansion (ACE) to function.
This mod should always be compatible with most mods as it is pretty much self-contained.

This mod is completely compatible with Stonehearth’s localization, it is in English (en) by default but also includes an Brazillian Portuguese (pt-BR) translation.
(The pt-BR translation is currently unfinished!)
