Proper Sticks is a Vintage Story mod by kayskates. Proper Sticks makes leaf blocks drop sticks more realistically, with branchy leaves yielding several sticks at once.
Why this mod is worth installing
A useful small tweak for players who find vanilla stick yields too low and want gathering wood debris to feel more believable.
What Proper Sticks adds
Proper Sticks changes the way ordinary leaf blocks provide sticks. Each leaf block has a 55% chance to drop one, making clearing foliage a steadier source of basic wood material.
Branchy leaf blocks use a different yield: when they drop sticks, the amount ranges from one to four. This gives denser, more tangled foliage a noticeably better reward.
The mod is focused on a single survival balance adjustment. It does not add new tools, tree-processing systems, or separate stick types; it simply makes the existing gathering action produce a more plausible amount of sticks.
