TekTopia Villagers | Dev Playthrough: The Chef!

Welcome to the developer playthrough of my TekTopia villager mod. In this series I'll be playing through the mod, building a huge village from scratch, showing off ALL the details about the mod and doing even more development as we go!
Today we showcase the Chef villager! We'll take a deep dive into all the AI, the formula, and complex rules that make them tick. Keep the comments coming!

A fisherman should be one of the Villagers. Fishermen would be the quickest way to get food other than farming wheat. They could also bring in so much more with all the magical and/or alchemical stuff. Plus need to fish up those boots for my guard!

Jan Šuštar maybe they'll follow their mother/father and watch them work, and if the parent is happy they could give a small 'lesson' to them on their job, giving the kids a hidden skill point.

[@rileyexistent8738]

maybe there could be a item you could craft that moves a already tamed wolf or cat to a villager and another one that moves them to you. also making a animal move from one villager to another villager will make the villager that originally owned it very sad and have a negative debuff that decreases happiness gains and increases happiness losses that lasts for a few days.

Make it so the child gets an interest in a profession depending on he/she has been close to a certain villager like his/her parents.

[@nolanh8607]

Caleb Gee great suggestion, the child could be more skillful at their parent’s job.

[@mdbgamer556]

That's about the way it used to be realistically. There would be a carpenter, blacksmith, etc that would take on an aoprentice. Maybe Tango could add a stage to the villager's growth: teenager. Much like the nitwits, they wouldn't really do anything, would basically freeload, and they will have pretty much gained as much education as they are going to so no school. Only, there would be a chance of them 'gaining an interest' in a certain profession. The conditions: there needs to be a villager already doing this, that villager needs to constantly stay at an average of a certain level of happiness, and the teen needs to be at or above a certain intelligence level. Then once the teen grows into an adult, they automatically become said worker in the profession they took interest in. For free. Of course, the conditions have various variables in order to be meetable(tavern/bard, good food, high level teacher, etc.) and is thusly balanced out. If the conditions are met, the teen would have a greater chance of choosing the parent's profession rather than another's. Edit: as a side note, maybe the teens could follow around and watch the profession they take interest in, this giving them a slight boost in levels of said profession, up to a maximum of five. You saw how quickly the farmwrs leveled up on day one. They were hitting level ten in no time.

[@nolanh8607]

Mdb Gamer I think it shouldn’t be free and the child’s skill should increase for the parent’s profession instead, if that makes sense. For example, the parent could be a farmer. In this case, the child would get farming skill until they become an adult. This way, the player still gets to decide what profession the child becomes.

[@mdbgamer556]

@@nolanh8607 Either way could work. It wouldn't be a definite thing to happen either way.

[@Hexagonaldonut]

@@nolanh8607 Yeah, this is what I was thinking myself; give them skill in that profession, but don't necessarily *force* them to become that profession. It could also be made to happen with multiple villagers, so a child could end up with pre-existing skills in a couple different professions. Which would just be awesome.

Tango Tek, please add it so miners also take the cobblestone. This would really help create more structures because otherwise you would have to mine it all yourself which would take time. You said yourself you were going to build a wall around your village and building that takes quite some time, but getting the resources takes even more time and you won't have to mine the cobblestone for the wall, but we do so it would really help if miners also took the cobblestone. Amazing job man!

[@gabrieladonai9427]

Tango, I will keep saying, in hopes you notice: try to implement a MARKET structure, where merchants can sometimes stop for a day, so when the village is too large you know where to find some! Building suggestion

[@cesurbasoglu4144]

or they can just stop at the town hall rather than making a separate structure. In that way the towhalls would have a bit more purpose to them.

[@SpiderKoloPL]

How about spawning of multiple villagers who could sell tokens? And each have different pricing, so you could look through each of them and take best offer. Then other tradesmen could adapt and lower slightly prices so you could come to them instead of rival tradesman. Maybe add some sort of "Hotel" building, where nomads could stop for a day before they despawn? Maybe it could raise a chance to get Nomads overall? Having place they could stop by makes those places way more attractive than... wild forest filled with monsters. EDIT: obviously for testing purposes it would make more sense to leave this as one of last things to test, otherwise trying to find good offer just to buy tokens you need would take a bit longer...

Could villagers develop friendships of a sort with each other. I’m not sure if it’s already a feature but if they go to a tavern after work to get happiness, interacting with other villagers could do the same. But it depends on how easily villagers lose happiness, from the last few videos they all seem to end up with low happiness by the end of a day, so if a villager interacted with villagers while at work they would gain a small amount of happiness. It would help when someone starts of their village and can’t afford a tavern. And instead of children just running around they could watch their parent work and gain skill in that profession for when they get older

[@sodiboo]

Maybe the children could even try helping, where they’ll gain skill faster as they’re younger (real science proves it’s easier to learn when you’re young) with the penalty of the work getting done slower, the parent might gain happiness though

[@sodiboo]

Also they should be born with some natural talent, based off their parents and RNG

[@Tricosis.]

Its been said before but I'll say it again. Adding idle animations to the villagers would really add to the immersion. Now they are just constantly wandering. Having them stop here and there and just do various idle animations would be a nice addition!

[@Otzkar]

that would probably harm the efficiency of the farm.

[@Renniuq11]

@@Otzkar Could maybe not have them do the idle animations while... not... idle, so they don't do it while working, but having things like some hand motion animation as two villagers chat in their house at night could definitely spice things up a bit.

[@SpiderKoloPL]

You could speed up their jobs... and then add their idle animations in those jobs as well, so it cancels themself out (kinda). It's not like it takes half the day just to gather all potatoes from one meter square, all while not taking a single break other than on eating said raw potatoes. Some people are just inefficient in life, it could make sense if villagers weren't efficient in game as well.

It feels odd that the chef can make charcoal. "What have you got cooking?" "Oh, just some taters and a log." That's not really a thing a chef would do. It could just use logs till you have enough other fuel. How about having the blacksmith do the charcoal smelting, that would feel more logical. It has the additional effect that getting a miner (coal) feels like an upgrade to the chef, and so does getting a blacksmith later on, so dependacy for workabillaty, but getting better as the village progresses. Much like the farmers.

[@TristanPopken]

Beautiful mod! An extra tip though: - make it so pathways are slightly faster (about 10%) so that thay prefer walking over paths - make is so chests crafting tables furnaces leaves etc are blocks that in the movement ai gets detected as a block where you cant go through but neither over it Edit: - stairs make you slower and 1 block jumps make you really slow so if you have blocks as decoration they wont walk over it

[@ncoll36]

Not to sure about the stair change, especially with the stairs down to the mineshaft. But there needs to be some sort of detection that within buildings, height changes effect pathfinding. But that also depends on if he implements multiple levels within one building.

Tango, you should make trees grown by druids spawn with mushrooms beneath them. The farmer can the harvest these "opportunity mushrooms" but won't plant them. This way the chef gets mushrooms to make stews now and then, but it's not as though the villagers are drowning in mushroom stew.

[@varricon6758]

Possible Idea: a market stall (or something similar) that the Merchant walks to and trades everything in a designated chest, leaving emeralds in another chest. That way you don't have to catch the merchant every day to trade, just put items you don't need in the trade chest

[@thannbanis3639]

Varricon agreed. He could still walk about and talk to others, but returns to his ‘stall’ periodically.

[@ZenoDovahkiin]

This could be another villager job, too. You could set priorities like "buy item X until we have at least 100 in reserve" or "sell item Y to the merchant, but don't sell for less than 3 emeralds" and thus you could have your villagers run the economy, since you put so much else into the hands of villagers gradually, this would be awesome. They could also boost your prices a little, by making highly skilled traders with loads of job experience reduce the dynamic pricing hit slightly so they will sell just a few items more without lowering the price, or have a slight skill-based chance to generate an extra emerald after a trade, as they are better at haggling with the travelling merchant than you are. The economy is basically the only place I can think of besides building that you still need to micromanage and babysit your town over, and every bit of "automation", or having your villagers do it according to your directions is cool.

[@user-uq2li2io6c]

But if he leaves the emeralds anyone can just steal the emeralds

[@Tzardonic]

Suggestion for guards once you do the episode: allow them to use bows and block arrows with shields. Let them move faster when wearing lower quality armor. (Leather armor would move faster then heavier armor and allow archers to back away faster to fire arrows while the sword guards use heavy armor to keep the mobs at bay.

Hey Tango love the mod so far but i have an ide on something you can add to the child behavior, if you could make so that they have an interest so they go and visit certain workers and the workers get some kind of inspiration and walk faster work faster and get some happiness or you could just make it so children go around and socialise with adults and give them some happiness.

[@ngabel8956]

Is there any way for villages to interact with each other? Maybe there could be a travelling salesman allowing villages to trade with each other, especially if the community storage is low on a certain resource. Maybe if a villager is too unhappy, and unable to work, they could move to a new village. Maybe if a village is under a large zombie siege, they could request backup. I just think having villages interact brings a lot more life to the world.

[@alexhart9849]

I was wondering if you could make a "hobby" system based on the villager's latent and inactive skills. For example, a miner who also has a skill level in farming may on occasion do some farming if there are plenty of other miners/high output of ores/break time. Maybe they can occasion share tips or tricks with other farmers of a lower skill level if the miner's "farming hobby" is particularly high. Maybe if the miner claims the nearest chest to his bed they can fill it with item related to their profession and "hobbies", like their pickaxe and perhaps keepsakes like their hoe from when they were a farmer or if they have a farming "hobby". If there is plenty of hoes in the storage vs professional farmers in the village, maybe the miner will go and pick one up and have it in their personal storage. I feel like this will kind of give them a past and a personality based on their past interests and professions.

[@mihailoradovanovic7283]

I have suggestion: Villages should have random skill drops. I think that Villages with skill level 100 are too OP, and intelligence is not important as it should be. Solution for this is that Villagers will randomly lose some of their skill in the current profession. This will happen more often if villager is unhappy, an he will lose more skill higher his skill level is. Skill drops will make intelligence more important, because higher it is, faster will villager get to 100 again

Did you think about adding tokens to apply them on the chests from the storage? For example a token for each job so we can have a better storage management. Then in case we need to take track of the production of a specific item we dont need to check every chest.

[@ncoll36]

If something like this isn't implemented, you could also look at the storage from a redstone perspective. With the way pathfinding works, you could manipulate the villagers to place items in the same one chest every time. Then with redstone, hoppers and all that, you could create a sorter, that sorts all the items into specific chests. As long as this is still within the building, but at a further distance than the input chest, villagers would collect the items from these sorted chests and not mess up the sorting.

Regarding cobblestonemining... I think it would be cool if one could give the miners a special order to collect cobblestone. By activating a "collect stone" button in their inventory or something like that. It should be an option to turn on/off ingame whenever you want, because not all players want to have that feature enabled all the time, yet still it would be very useful. Alternatively you could add a "cobble stone" token to one of the chests in the storage room and if this chest is filled with cobble or the token is removed, miners stop mining cobble. Just some ideas. :)

Also what if guards can take pillagers to a new jail building and interrogate them to find out where their village is and you can pillage their village for loot.

(Suggestion) Yo Tango Tek, I know I put in alot of suggestions but I'm just very hyped and have very much idea's for the mod. My idea is you can request items, meaning, that in the storage room you can request an item by clicking on a request button and customizing your requested item, which the villagers will create. You can only pick item in the customizer which your villagers can make so no enchanter means you can't pick an enchanted weapon. Making this requested item will take slightly longer since the villagers will put more effort in to making something for their mayor. At the Salesman you have to buy something and put it on a chest which will become the request chest were the villagers put their requested items in which they crafted. The amount of emeralds it would cost would depend on how expensive the materials are. The more requests you make the more expensive they get. Hopefully you add this and I just want to say you have an amazing mod Tango!

There still appears to be an issue with walking into doors when they have opened the wrong half of a double door!

[@slightlyocdminecraft4418]

This is a very nice idea! Villagers recruited from nomads could have random traits. Those that are grown from children have a chance to gain traits depending on their child life and parental trait(s). This would cause the player to give more careful thought to whom they hire for what purposes, and help each village be a little more different from all the others. *Snob - gains or loses happiness more than usual, depending on the size of their house and how many other villagers (non family) live there. They may also lose happiness faster in 'low class' jobs, such as farmer. Non family tend to lose minor happiness when interacting with them. -Can be inherited from parent randomly, or a chance to gain it by growing up in a posh house. *Humble - Feels uncomfortable in a large house, prefers smaller abodes. Gains happiness in lower class jobs. other people tend to gain happiness when interacting with them. -Can be inherited from parent, or by growing up in a smaller home. *Glutton - Has a chance to make extra quality food. Has a higher hunger need, so needs to eat more often. Food negativity affects them more. - Can be inherited from parent, or by growing up in a village abundant with quality food. *Thrifty *Peppy - A larger happiness bonus when interacting with others. Their presence 'buffs' the mood of those around them temporarily. -Can be inherited from parent, or by just growing up. *Downer *Ambitious *Lazy *Alcoholic - Drinking in the tavern increases mood a bit more than usual. Tends to head to the tavern during the day. Other alcoholics gain mood boosts when socializing with them, teetotalers lose mood boosts. *Teetotaler *Stalwart *Coward ... etc. If there's interest in this idea and it's considered by Tango Tek, I would love to put more work into more possible traits, with better balances, rewards, penalties, and usefulness.

I have an idea that could make finding stuff in the storage room much easier: 1) Have the ability to create multiple storage rooms. 2) Have the ability to control which professions put the items that they produce in that storage room. Not each individual chest, the whole building. This would only be for putting items in, not taking them out - any villager could take any item out of any storage building. There are a few ways I imagine you could implement this: A) right-click on the storage room label (the one in the item frame above the door) and have a GUI pop up to let you select which professions to allow; B) use a profession token on the storage room label, and maybe have it show next to the storage room symbol; C) drop a profession token on top of one of the chests in the storage room.

I just think that the current system is very limited, and there's a lot that could be improved upon. I think the main thing is that I want to be able to put similar professions near each other (miner + blacksmith, cook + farmer, etc) without them having to go to the same central storage system, and back again, which wastes a lot of time.
