After taking a healthy break, I have now released the update for Unnecessarily Beautiful But Immersive for Alpha 20.3. Unlike previous editions of UBBI, my focus was not necessarily new content here, but instead compatibility and a better foundation for the future. Now, UBBI should be more compatible then ever with UI mods and other modlets. Moving forward it should become much easier as well to update the mod as needed with either tweaks or new content.
In the last iteration of UBBI, I had added workable kitchen appliances, a couple new fuel sources and unique UI elements. To make sure that UBBI was more compatible with SMX and other UI mods, I have now scrapped the ability to use the kitchen appliances alongside removing the new fuel sources like the "Shamway Spring" and the electronic components.
While what was removed might not be good news to everyone, it was what I thought was the best course of action for A20. I have however added storage solutions for all cabinets, select sinks and even the fridge! You can now use a variety of items from UBBI even more immersively.
The Road So Far: What All is in UBBI Today?
Crafting:
All items from UBBI can be crafted at a workbench. To craft any lights, players must first have their Intellect perk at lvl six and their Advanced Engineering perk at lvl three. Alternatively, players can find the "Basics of Electricity Schematic" at a trader or in the world to unlock the lights early.
Players can use the wrench line of tools to receive additional resources when destroying most of the items, while also receiving a small number of resources back when using just fists and/or weapons to destroy them instead.
Players can repair items crafted by using specific sources from cloth fragments, wood and glass blocks to forged iron, concrete mix and leather.
Lights & Technology:
All lights, TVs, a PC, laptop, fireplace, sound bar, doorbell and shower head must be turned on by using a wire tool.
The shower head is usable with water visuals and sound effects. To increase immersion and add usefulness to it, the shower provides up to 30 minutes of increased benefits, which include increased stamina regeneration, increased running speed and cold resistance.
The doorbell and sound bar have specific sounds, which may alert zombies and other players in multiplayer nearby.
Miscellaneous Additions:
The garden bed, small bed and big bed can be used as a bedroll.
There is a single closet door and a secret closet door that takes up one block for people playing with one block crouch.
Inspired by the POI version of the vanilla chimney, a new altered Chimney can be placed with new chimney effects that emits smoke more realistically.
Storage options are now a feature attached to almost all cabinets, select bathroom items and others like a fridge.
