Beaver Dam Cleaner

Beaver Dam Cleaner automatically removes looted beaver dams after they have been accessed by a player.

The cleanup timer starts only when a player accesses a beaver dam. After the configured amount of time has passed, the mod checks the dam again and decides whether it should be destroyed.

Untouched beaver dams that have never been accessed by a player are not destroyed by this mod.

An optional resource check can protect accessed dams from being destroyed when they still contain a configured minimum amount of valuable resources.

The following resources can be checked separately:

• Rare Flowers
• Rare Mushrooms
• Cementing Paste
• Silica Pearls

If at least one enabled resource reaches its configured minimum amount, the beaver dam will not be destroyed. If none of the enabled resources reaches its minimum amount, the dam can be destroyed after the access timer has expired.

Configuration

Add the following settings to your GameUserSettings.ini:

[BeaverDamCleaner]
CheckIntervalSeconds=300.0
TimeSinceLastAccessSeconds=30.0
UseMinimumResourceCheck=True
CheckRareFlowers=True

CheckRareMushrooms=True
MinimumRareMushrooms=10
CheckCementingPaste=True

Setting descriptions

CheckIntervalSeconds

Defines how often the mod checks accessed beaver dams.

The value is specified in seconds.

CheckIntervalSeconds=300.0

In this example, the mod performs a check every 300 seconds, which equals 5 minutes.

TimeSinceLastAccessSeconds

Defines how much time must pass after a player accesses a beaver dam before the dam can be destroyed.

The timer starts when a player accesses the dam. Untouched dams that have never been accessed are not affected.

TimeSinceLastAccessSeconds=30.0

In this example, the dam becomes eligible for cleanup 30.0 seconds, or 30 seconds, after it was accessed.

The actual cleanup may happen slightly later depending on the configured check interval.

Enables or disables the minimum resource check.

UseMinimumResourceCheck=True

The mod checks the enabled resources before destroying the dam. The dam is protected if at least one enabled resource reaches its configured minimum amount.

The remaining resources are ignored. An accessed dam can be destroyed after the configured time has passed.

CheckRareFlowers=True

Rare Flowers are checked.

CheckRareFlowers=False

Rare Flowers are ignored.

MinimumRareFlowers

Defines the minimum number of Rare Flowers required to protect the dam.

Cleanup logic

A beaver dam can only be destroyed when all of the following conditions are met:

1. A player has accessed the beaver dam at least once.
2. The configured time since that access has passed.
3. The minimum resource check is disabled, or none of the enabled resources reaches its configured minimum amount.

Resource check example

UseMinimumResourceCheck=True

CheckCementingPaste=True
MinimumCementingPaste=100

CheckSilicaPearls=True
MinimumSilicaPearls=50

With these settings, the dam remains protected if it contains:

• At least 100 Cementing Paste, or
• At least 50 Silica Pearls.

If it contains less than 100 Cementing Paste and less than 50 Silica Pearls, it can be destroyed after the configured time has passed.

Resources with their Check... setting set to False do not affect the result.
