About this mod

Adds a bunch of cooking recipes for players who want to use those accumulating cans.

Permissions and credits
Welcome fellow Chef !
This is my cooking modlet. I tried my best to add really cool recipes which will help you use those cans that are accumulating in your lockers. I also tried to add some variety to the game, hopefully I began well. You will tell me. I also tried my best to make those items balanced compared to the vanilla game. Do not forget that I have a hardcore modded game so if you think they are too powerful you can tell me. But I don't think so.

Reasons :

I wanted to use my cans. As I said, they are accumulating because when you have more than 120 food/water bar values, 15 from a chicken can or 5 from a chicken soup can won't be that helpful. And if you're like me, you don't like to eat them as you explore your POIs, because "maybe". My present mod is your "maybe" and I hope you will like my recipes. And also my pictures that I did myself by picking from the game and modifying with other pictures from reality.

Since A21, the reason has "changed", I just like cooking plenty of food items. I also want to reintroduce empty cans and jars, in a second version of the mod which will take quite a while since I have many things to do.

Remarks :

- This mod has been tested, all recipes are unlocked by their schematics and Master Chef levels. I'm also open to suggestions for new dishes, and maybe help for the icons if you'd like to (just don't forget that the pictures "need" to be 160x160pixels).

- All recipes and items are described below, under spoilers to save some space on the page. If you're curious go check it, screenshots can't show all the items because there are so many.

Yes, this mod has to be installed on both server and client, due to icons being needed for the items and recipes to show them. Nonetheless I have been reported some issues at the character creation stage in coop games with using this mod on both server and client, so please try it and report if you have the same issues.

Languages :
- French by me (obviously :D)
- English by me (well...)
- Simplified chinese by wyh1346 - thank you !

Plans :

Some items are coming in the next update, stay tuned.
Add maybe big version of coffee for coherence, and more drinks, will see.

Updates History :

12/02/2023 : 1.1.1 is an emergency update due to me being an idiot and forgetting to remove Health Potion unlocking by schematic, thus provoking a red console error that pop up if you select the recipe in chemstation. So just apply the update before attempting to craft one of these.
11/30/2023 : 1.1 for A21 Release : Slightly changed values for some foods and drinks. Vodka is now a weaker Moonshine. Recipes and loot altered to be in line with new systems. Added a compatibility patch with Little Tweaks for those who use it. Only for total version or gameplay versions users. Some mistakes are still in this version but will be fixed soon. Recipient version is planned but won't do it right now. It takes much more ork to be done and I have others mods to work on.
10/03/2021 : 1.0 Release : I finally added all the items I wanted to add to call it a full release. Fallout New Vegas and Don't Starve easter eggs, plenty of new stuff to collect, use, or prepare, many recipes that you can do at all levels, drinks you can use for some situations, container items (bowls and bottles). And you can find all of this in loot, or traders inventories, including vending machines, and all is integrated into Twitch system. With sometimes even more sarcastic descriptions. I also put pumpkins in the coldfood group because it seemed coherent with the presence of blueberries and other veggies.
09/12/2021 :

- 0.6.2 : Fixing update. Learned a little more about traders and how groups of items work. As such, traders and vending machines will now sell my items. Vending Machine will sell Pork N Beans and traders will sell my food items, drink items, and their respective schematics. Also fixes my boiled meat needing the wrong campfire addon.
08/17/2021 :
- 0.6 : New recipes, items and concepts. Added alcoholic beverages and a new secret recipe that you will have to find yourself (which is NOT lore friendly but I will be the only one). Added items and recipes have their own sarcastic descriptions and sometimes dark humor. You might also recognize some easter eggs. Also some convenience recipes were added.
- 0.6.1 : Guess why ! I've done many keyboard mistakes (in numbers mainly and Big Charred Meat recipe) and I increased Fruit Mix HP healing. Because it was too low for a T3 food item. So here's the 0.6.1 patch !
08/15/2021 : 0.5 : Bacon sandwich now has its own icon ! Complete Stew icon changed a little. Chicken Noodles recipe fixed. Now with sarcastic descriptions ! I hope you will them funny !
08/08/2021 : 0.1 - First Release

Simple description :

You can now craft many dishes and drinks and loot many items, amongst them, a good number of low level recipes, and balanced numbers of recipes distributed through all levels of Master Chef, more or less useful. There are also some easter eggs from Fallout New Vegas and Don't Starve, and a drink inspired from Skyrim.
Those who use less than 100% loot will also be happy.

Technical stuff :


The modlet is integrated into Twitch system, you can take my modlet and play it while streaming and viewers will be able to use my food in your game.
All my schematics are distributed throughout the game, you will be able to find them while exploring POIs. But you won't have them in Twitch system. It's a design choice.
Some of the food items are also distributed in the "cold food" loot list like the Bacon Sandwich for example, and I also added the Vegetable Stew from the vanilla game in that list because you can find the Meat Stew, so I figured out it would be logical.

Now as of 0.6.2 you can find my items in traders inventories too !
For values, see below or take a view to my screenshots, they will tell you everything you need to know about the items.

Tier indicates the rank of Master Chef you will need to unlock the recipe, in case you didn't guess. If Tiers 0 and 0/1 are said to not take any schematic nor Master Chef ranks to be prepared, each Tier above those will need the corresponding rank : T1 => Master Chef 1 ; T2 => MC 2 ; T3 => MC 3 and T4 = MC 4 ; the secret recipe is T5 obviously and maybe many of you have found out what it was.

Recommended mods :

You can cook all my foods with Nuvar's Modern Cooking ! Go take a look if you don't know of it and give Nuvar some love ;) That's the appliance you see in my screenshots by the way !

The secret and not lore friendly item :
Find it by yourself. Find the recipe by yourself. This won't be removed or changed. If you don't like it, just don't use it. I may release later on a version without it when enough people are aware of its existence. For now it will stay.

Vodka (T4 drink - Alcoholic* (obviously) - Double the duration of beer but same intensity of buffs, heals 10% infection) (added in v0.6) :
Vodka is more a reference to the Stalker license for its ability to remove radiations, in 7 Days it removes infection due to its rather high alcohol degree.

Honeybrew Mead (T3 drink - Alcoholic* (obviously) - Same duration and intensity of buffs than beer, Adds 20 water, Heals 20 HP, Heals 5% infection) (added in v0.6) :

*Alcoholic Beverages are done at the Chemistry Station, also means that they give the beer buff, with more, less or equal duration compared to it
**Non Alcoholic Beverages are done at the Campfire, some of them would be alcoholic but so light they are considered not to be, and do not give beer debuff, but can give a similar buff for light beers



Container Items (bowls and bottles)(Introduced in v1.0)(Only for recipient version in A21) :
Unwrap to read.
Spoiler:  
Show

Clay Bowl :

Exists in wet version you can craft in your inventory for 4 clay lumps (long time) and dry and bake over a campfire (double the craft time), and the baked version can be made directly in the forge for the same amount of clay lumps (x5 clay unit in forge) for the same craft time as in inventory, you save the drying and baking time compared to the campfire.
Serves for vegetable recipes like mash potato or pumpkin, and future recipes that will use them and cans for simpler meals on the fly (will just need a campfire without any add-on) for when you are exploring, without a base in a Rambling Man type of playthrough... whatever you can see their usefulness for.
This bowl also has river and boiled water variants, that you can get by the same way as with a jar, and boiled it directly over the fire. You can also just put a jar of boiled water in the bowl to make instead of having to go search for a source, even if most of my recipes that use them can be made with a jar and an empty bowl. You lose the jar anyway, and can get back the bowl from the dish.
As per similar concept to my Little Tweaks, you can just empty the bowls if you judge them useless and want to stack them up to 125 like jars.

Wooden Bowl :
Can craft in inventory, for 4 wood planks.
Serves for starchy food like rice and pasta, and recipes that use them and cans for more consistent meals (will use a cooking pot in your campfire because wood burns !).
This bowl also has river and boiled water, but you have to boiled it in the cooking pot, because... yes wood burns. Same system than the clay bowl, you can take water, and throw it on the ground, or empty a jar of boiled water in it if you want to. For now no recipe take a wooden bowl of water, but I may do soups or stews that use this particular items later on.

Plastic Bottle :
This is the original icon of the Mineral Pure Water, which is an empty plastic bottle (you can see it very well using a montage software with a black background).
For this reason I redid a version with light blue water in it to make it the new icon of Mineral Pure Water. I added river and boiled version of this bottle which are double the stats for double the quantity (because fook it I saw it as a bigger version anyways since the beginning).
This item has been patched to take plastic as material and will now be craftable for 10 polymers in a workbench (you won't get to melt plastic pieces with your bare hands), and will scrap for 7 or 8 of them. Same for all the big bottles.
This also serves as a base for big teas recipes that you see before.
Obviously you can take water from any source and empty the bottle like jars and bowls if you think you need space.


Compatibility Patch :

Big bottle of filtered water added to match the mods combination. Recipe take 10 bottles and 1 carbon filter.


Pure Mineral Water recipe change :

Now takes a big bottle of boiled water + same ingredients than vanilla.
Also can be made with a big bottle of filtered water and only golden rod and chrysantemum flowers.

Big bottle of teas and yucca juice can be done with big filtered water too.

Bottles of filtered water are used to make infused tea now, as it is much safer and tastier.

Fruit Mix now takes filtered water rather than boiled water for safe measures.

Big bottle of boiled water now has the same little chance of dysentery has the small jar.

Big bottle of river water has the same reduced HP penalty and higher dysentery chance than the small jar.

Honey nugget and ham have reduced infection healing, as the honey has it.

Convenience recipes to make river water are added for big bottles too.


Tools used :
Paint for minimal placement of pictures.
PhotoFiltre 7 for tints and colors, cuts, masks and more.
The website Seek PNG where I found some cool pictures to use as icons like the Mac N Cheese or the lunch box.

Credits go to Fun Pimps as usual.

***Donate***

I now have a Paypal account. Some of you here and there told me they wanted to donate but I refused several times. Why did I changed my mind ? Well, I think it is important to let people who want to donate, do it. So I let the link here and people who want to can donate. But. Think of it. Some charity may need money. If you have money to spend, you may think of donating to charity instead. Otherwise if you really want to you can donate to me.
