About this mod

New Dishes for all your hardcore needs.

Permissions and credits
======DESCRIPTION=======

Wasteland Dishes tweaks some recipes associated with food and adds a couple of dishes using materials that are avaiable in the game.The goal is to have more recipes available for roleplaying and practical reasons , using a variety of ingredients.

I found out that cooking in Vegas was somewhat uninspired and severely limited so this mod tries to add more diversity to the campfire recipes.At the same time the new dishes are unique and attempt to maintain balance and realism in the game.


Since V6 food items do not restore health.Food healing never interested me since it made the game far too easy.Not to mention that wounds knitting from eating steak and drinking sarsaparilla destroy the immersion I try so hard to achieve.

Everything added by this mod uses existing assets so it will not have an impact on performance.

New recipes are organized under a new subcategory for easy reference and to avoid cluttering the existing ones.

Inventory sorter functionality is optional.

If anyone is wondering why I haven't updated anything since 2013 it's because I introduced all the recipes I had in mind and since there were no issues/bugs I consider this mod complete.However I'm always around and will discuss any recipes or improvements.Use the comments section.


========================

Sample dishes :

-Bread Loaf
-Delicious tortillas
-Wasteland Bouillabaise
-Gyro , with many options for meat
-Chilli Dog (Literally)
-Fruit salad
-Fire Gecko omelet ( Not everyone can kill a deathclaw , let alone stomach it )
-Piroski , cheese and potato versions
-Banana Boat , the classic treat
-Wasteland Spaghetti , an opportunity to use those gecko eggs
-Apple & Carrot Juice , along with 4 other types of fruit juice
-Smoked Stake & Jerky
-Honey Mesquite Tea
-Apple Tarts

-Existing recipes

The goal is to be able to cook every meat in the game on its own with relative ease , while offering complicated dishes to those with high survival skill.The advanced dishes will offer advantages such as restoring your hardcore needs more efficiently and providing extra bonuses.Breaks the monotony aswell , which is the main reason for creating this mod.

Just like the gecko steak now you can get a basic steak from most meats such as :

-Coyotes
-Giant Rats
-Dogs
-Bighorners
-Brahmin
-Molerat

with a low survival skill requirment.


=======INSTALLATION=====
One .esp file is all that will be added from this mod.Put it in your Data directory.Load it before any other mods that change recipes if you want them to undo this file's changes and vice versa.

Nexus Mod Manager auto-install should work just fine aswell.


=======Version History====

V7: Recipes for Bread , Burritos , Yeast.Cleaned up some things and balanced the previous recipes.

V6: Beer Fillet , Apple Tart and Tea recipes added.Some items rebalanced.

V5: Trying to cook up (no pun intended) some more dishes.Includes caffeine pills recipe.Caffeine is such an amazing stimulant.

V4: Done! Adding Jerky and Smoked Steak for cowgirls on the trail.Comes with an optional inventory sorter .esp.I made a baby step in the G.E.C.K. , let me know if something doesn't work.

V3: A few delicious fruit juices to chose from and a surprise dish ! I figured out how to make a new subcategory for the recipes so I can organize them better and you can have easy access to them.

V2: It's here! New recipes so far are

1) Piroski (the russian classic - potato and cheese version)
2) Baked potato
3) S'more & Banana Boat - Credits to Nivea

V1 : The first version with 10 new dishes.More to come!


========Other===========
-This mod was my first attempt to create something using the G.E.C.K. I know some of you pros out there can do wonders but I'm not at that level yet.If you have a suggestion regarding the technical part send me a message.

-As far as the actual gameplay changes are concerned I wish to maintain realism and balance with the new recipes.If you notice inconsistencies don't be afraid to leave suggestions.Same goes for new dishes you think can be implemented.
