Gemmage - Resin Tapping & Processing

Gemmage - Resin Tapping & Processing

Gemmage expands Vintage Story's resin system into a complete renewable production chain while staying close to the game's survival and mechanical style.

Tree tapping

Pine and acacia trees can be tapped for renewable vanilla resin.

• Pine: normal resin production.
• Acacia: approximately half the production rate of pine.
• Naturally generated and player-grown trees are supported.
• Production is affected by temperature and seasons.
• Continuous harvesting causes tree fatigue and reduced production.
• Trees recover when allowed to rest.

Ceramic and copper collectors are available, with the copper collector providing increased storage capacity.

Resin processing

Resin can be processed in a resin still powered by an integrated fuel-burning furnace.

4 Resin → 3 Rosin + 0.5 L Turpentine

The still features:

• temperature-based processing;
• integrated fuel storage;
• persistent progress;
• 5 L internal turpentine tank;
• native Vintage Story liquid handling.

Rosin and turpentine

Rosin and turpentine can be used to create resin varnish.

Rosin also has additional uses such as resin firestarters and an alternative pitch glue recipe.

Resin varnish can be applied to vanilla wooden planks using a varnish brush.

Treated planks retain their wood species and orientation while gaining a darker, warmer and slightly glossy appearance.

Storage

The mod includes:

• bulk storage for resin and rosin;
• 20 L liquid tanks for turpentine and resin varnish;
• persistent liquid contents when tanks are broken and replaced.

Mechanical liquid automation

Copper pipes and mechanically powered liquid pumps can automatically move turpentine and varnish between compatible machines and tanks.

The pump uses Vintage Story's native mechanical power system and can be driven by water wheels or wind-powered machinery.

Supported liquid connections currently include:

• Resin Still
• Gemmage Liquid Tanks
• Vanilla Barrels

Resin and rosin remain solid items and are not transported through liquid pipes.

Vanilla integration

Gemmage intentionally reuses Vintage Story systems whenever possible:

• vanilla resin (game:resin);
• vanilla mechanical power;
• vanilla liquid containers;
• vanilla barrels;
• vanilla flax oil;
• vanilla hoppers and chutes where applicable.

Supported trees

Compatibility

Vintage Story 1.22.7

Existing worlds are supported. Player-grown pine and acacia trees can also be tapped once mature.

Current version

Gemmage 1.0.0

The mod is designed around resin production and processing. It is not intended to replace Vintage Story's general automation systems.
