Description

Only another kobold truly understands how difficult life can be when you are smol. Bigfolk build everything too tall and too wide, and every home feels like it was made for giants.

This mod focuses on smol friendly comforts that make the world feel sized for kobolds again. It adds compact doors perfect for smol kobolds, house pets, and scurrying critters, with full door functionality, including locking and support for various wood types.

Unlike gates and fences, these doors block light and create valid "Rooms" in Vintage Story, making them perfect for building proper kobold-sized homes.

The mod is meant to grow over time with even more kobold sized comforts.

Crafting

Small Door

A totally normal wooden door (for Kobolds and other small beings).

Small Chair

Small chair! Or should I say a normal chair? It is the other chairs that are too big!

Small Chair with Moss!

Smells fresh (but don't eat it)!

Small Tree

A tiny pine tree, softly moss-scented, bringing good vibes to small spaces.

Small Festive Tree

Resourceful kobolds discovered that clay and glass make perfect ornaments for a cheerful festive tree!

Moss Culture

Grow moss in a barrel! Put 8 rot and 20 liters of water in a sealed barrel, wait 5 days (120 hours), and get 32 moss culture. Very mossy! If you don't know where to store them, put the on the ground!

Moss Block

Craft moss blocks by putting moss culture on top of peat! Makes soft, spongy moss blocks perfect for comfy builds!

Moss Trapdoor

A trapdoor crafted from moss culture. Soft and mossy!

Development

In-Game Transform Editor

Vintage Story provides a built-in transform editor that streamlines the process of positioning items in various contexts. Instead of manually editing JSON transform values, hold an item in-game and run:

.tfedit

This command allows you to visually adjust tpHandTransform, fpHandTransform, groundTransform, guiTransform, and other positioning properties in real-time. This interactive approach significantly accelerates the development workflow!
