Im testing in the creative mode and figured it out.

you need clean water before you can make more clean water. Bit sad that so few people seem to realize this is possible lol. This means you can build a house that looks like wood but has the durability and stability of steel. Basically you can use a paint can on a steel block to change its texture. As for steel, yes, thats part of the Decor Steel system (check it out in the artisan decor station). This is a vanilla mechanic.ĭrag and drop the item into the toolslot in the campfire.ħ. You place them in the tools square, just having them in the inventory is not a enough. They are not ingredients used in recipes.Ħ. Boiling foods requires a bowl of water as a tool Then you can turn murky water into clean water. You need a cooking pot added to the tools of the campfire. If you're confused or uncomfortable with it though because you don't know vanilla anymore then don't waste your time with it, just go play vanilla.Ĥ. Expansion Pack is just an an expansion pack for the vanilla base game so it wouldn't be any radically different (except for maybe the cooking using bowls of water). Certainly don't play the Overhaul version. You still need the mod installed to get the full effect but the server's modded files do not replace yours in that way.ģ. Playing on a modded server does not erase your files or replace your files with theirs.

You might be misunderstanding how modding on a servers works. If I can then its Overhaul since Expansion Pack doesn't have an Armory.

Personally I just join the game and see if I can craft an armory. Sometimes it might be tricky to tell if they are using the expansion or overhaul though because they don't always specify that. I know searching for Valmod in the server list turns out a lot Valmodded servers. I'd imagine the server would mention the name of the mod its using in its name. Keep the modded config folder and vanilla config folder and just jump back and forth according to which one you want to play. If that isn't an option you could open the Data folder and make a copy of the config folder.
