Re: Some mod ideas/tweaks/usability improvements

/top (go to the surface or top of whatever you are under). Tricky. The mod might search upwards, but...it may be a long way to any surface, and the surface may not even be loaded. If you restrict search range sufficiently and allow the command to fail, it might be rather easy to implement. My new A...

Re: What kind of grass height on litter/dirt sides do you prefer?

There are a number of intermediate heights possible between your choices, and since there isn't one right answer I came up with Adjustable Dirt a few years ago. Unfortunately, it's probably too complicated for most people to use.

Re: [Mod] Tunnelmaker [2.0] [tunnelmaker]

The protector mod declares its protector nodes as unbreakable. Tunnelmaker tests all the nodes before tunneling and won't dig if any nodes are protected or unbreakable. Since tunnelmaker doesn't put any dug nodes in inventory, I don't plan on changing this. That being said, tunneling does work for t...

Re: Underwater Base Building

If you'd like a simple way of making underwater tunnels, you can use my tunnelmaker mod.
It makes glass-lined tunnels underwater and removes the water automatically.

Hamlet,

Could the print('Dungeon position: ' ..) statement be commented out from the released version of this mod?

I recently made stonebrick_dungeons a dependency of my quarry mod, but I forgot about it spamming the console with all those Dungeon position lines.

I also think this is a really cool concept too, but what's going on with the wield animations?
When the compass is wielded and active, the wield animations run continuously, even when my character is standing completely still.
