Immersive Quicklime

Immersive Quicklime adds new bulk, world-based ways to produce quicklime and calcinated flint in Vintage Story.

Instead of relying only on standard crafting, you can now burn limestone/chalk/marble/coral or flint in dedicated pit structures inspired by charcoal pits and pit kilns.

How it works

• Fill a lime pit with loose Limestone/Chalk/Marble Rocks, Limestone/Chalk/Marble Sand, or Coral Chunks, or fill a flint pit with Flint Beds.
• Seal the pit with non-flammable walls and cover.
• Place a Domed Grate on top.
• Load it with a valid kiln fuel.
• Ignite it and let the burn complete.
• Collect the finished Quicklime Piles or Calcinated Flint Piles.

Flint Beds

(Only needed for placing flint, all other stones place as normal ground storage)

• Making a Flint Bed: Start by making a Firepit, but before placing the Firewood, flatten(Right Click) with a rock of your choice. Then Right Click the bed with Flint to load it.
• Use: Flint Beds are the required pit material for producing Calcinated Flint Chunks.

Production Rules

• Conversion ratio: Every 2 Rocks/Coral Chunks/Flint produce 3 Quicklime or 3 Calcinated Flint Chunks, depending on the batch.
• Sand value: One full Limestone/Chalk/Marble Sand block counts as the equivalent of a full ground storage of 64 Limestone/Chalk/Marble Rocks.
• Size limit: Pits can be built up to 5x5x1.
• Burn time: Burn duration depends on pit size and fuel type. Larger pits take much longer, and different fuels provide different burn times.

Features

• Immersive lime and flint pit burning systems
• Domed grate kiln cap made from fired fire clay bricks
• Supports pit-kiln-style fuels with different burn times
• Bulk quicklime production through custom quicklime piles
• Bulk calcinated flint production through custom calcinated flint piles
• Works with loose limestone/chalk/marble rock piles, limestone/chalk/marble sand blocks, coral chunk piles, and flint beds
• Reusable grate with a chance to break after successful burns
• Editable lime source config in VintagestoryData/ModConfig for defining what counts as a valid quicklime-producing material
• Supports full item-code pattern matching in the config, allowing other mods to add their own quicklime source materials

Notes

• Designed for players who want a more physical, in-world lime and flint burning process.
• Vanilla quicklime progression is still left intact.
• Flint processing uses the same ratios as the quicklime system, but produces Calcinated Flint Chunks instead.

Notices

• Right now the Real Smoke compatibility patch I put in does not work. I'm working with a friend in trying to fix it.
