⚙️ Key Features
🎨 New Textures
- Visual Update: The mod is gradually receiving new, high-quality textures.
📈 Revamped Progression
- New Research Tree: The entire progression has been rebuilt from the ground up. The mod now features a logical and intuitive technology tree.
- 3-Tier Workbench System: The original Apothecary Table has been replaced with three new workbenches for each stage of the game: from neolithic to industrial.
🧼 Gameplay Mechanics
- In-depth Washing System: The old mechanic has been replaced with a new system featuring three recipes. Remove the "Tainted" status from apparel in different ways: from a risky, damaging rinse to a wash with lavender soap that provides a mood buff.
- New Fuel Types: Vanilla buildings (Stove, Generator, Smithy) can now run on Charcoal. The Fueled Crematorium also now accepts Wood.
🧩 Deep Integration with Medieval Overhaul
- Full Resource Unification: The mod automatically replaces its own resources (Tallow, Salt, Charcoal, Garlic) with their MO counterparts, eliminating duplicates.
- Customizable: The replacement of Steel with Iron Ingots is managed through the mod's settings menu.
- Mechanics Synergy: Producing Coal using MO's methods now yields Wood Ashes from Apothecary as a byproduct.
- World Integration: Plants from Apothecary now spawn in Medieval Overhaul's Dark Forest biome.
- Adaptive Research Tree: Technologies that duplicate MO's features (e.g., "Fat Rendering") are automatically hidden.
- Redundancy Removed: The Charcoal Kiln and Candles from Apothecary are disabled to avoid confusion.
🌐 Localization
- Russian: Full translation, based on the work of Macropod.
- English: Full translation included.
