TechFreqs Faster Cement Mixer Mod

Description

The TechFreqs Faster Cement Mixer Mod adjusts the crafting times for the Cement Mixer, specifically for Concrete Mix and Crushed Sand recipes, to speed up the crafting process.

Key Features:
-resourceConcreteMix: Craft time reduced to 0.5 seconds (extremely fast concrete mixing; e.g., high-volume output like 300+ units in 1-3 minutes with batching).
– resourceCrushedSand: Craft time reduced to 0.4 seconds (ultra-quick sand crushing; supports ~300 units per resource in under a minute).
– terrGravel: Craft time set/reduced to 0.4 seconds (instant gravel production; scales to 300+ blocks over 1-3 minutes).
– terrAsphalt: Craft time set/reduced to 0.4 seconds (speedy asphalt crafting; efficient for large-scale paving at ~300 per resource/minute).
– terrStone: Craft time set/reduced to 0.4 seconds (fast stone terrain creation; hits high output rates like 300 units in 1-3 minutes).

How It Works:
– Uses XML patching (via <setattribute>) to add/override just the craft_time attribute on the specified recipes—nothing else is touched.
– Requires a cement mixer workstation to see effects (recipes with craft_area=”cementMixer”).
– No new recipes added; purely a speed enhancement for existing ones, optimized for rapid scaling (e.g., 300 units/resource in short bursts

Notes:
– No other in-game content is altered, so the experience should remain familiar unless using this enhanced crafting.
as it’s only adjusting the crafting recipes based on the vanilla recipes.xml of 7 Days to Die but only altering the Cement Mixers craft time.
– If you’d like to increase the speed for instant crafting tweak the values lower , if youd like it to be more realistic tweak them a bit higher.

Issues:
– None reported at this time. Please let me know if any new issues arise and or suggestions.

THIS IS CLIENT SIDE ONLY but maybe perhaps this is also, server side and client side compatibility?
No further setup needed. Enjoy!

Works in both single-player and multiplayer via server.
Server & client-side configurations
Should not conflict with other mods unless the other mods installed modifier cement mixing crafting recipes.

CREDITS:
This was also inspired by the mod
WardensSaneCraftingTimes and its ammo boosting ,
but I was more so looking some more for the cement mixer and without some more research it couldn’t be done without that.

Thanks to TechFreq & A.I, ChatGPT or Microsoft CoPilot A.I or Grok AI from Twitter or X, for helping me create the modlet, aswell as with very little modding knowledge for the game and learning as I go i couldn’t do this without it and overall brainstorming and or the modding community.
I’d very much appreciate it and or any feedback for the mod(s) aswell
