Fallout Food
By Coleen

Fallout Food adds the ability to use the pots, pans, and other random items of Pre War cooking paraphenalia to cook the mutated animals and plants of the Wastelands. There are eleven cookbooks in the Wastelands, the Pitt, and Point Lookout; Moira and Margaret Primrose each sell the same two, Gary in Rivet City sells three, Panada and Haley in PL each sell the same one, and there are five unique cookbooks placed in special locations.

Cookbooks are placed in the Aid menu, and must be activated to use. Like a workbench, this brings up a menu that allows you to choose what you will craft, as well as adding a list of ingredients to your Notes on the first use. All recipes require a Hot Plate, and may require other items depending on complexity.

Empty bottles, cups, shot glasses and pitchers may be filled at sinks and water fountains, and when consumed add an empty bottle to the player's inventory to be used again.

There are now milk pasteurizers located at Craterside Supply, The Brass Lantern, the restraunt in Tenpenny, and the Galley in Rivet City. Just pick up an empty milk bottle, insert 4 caps, and activate the device for a nice, rad cleansing bottle of brahmin milk.

There are also urns of Radium Roast coffee located at several locations, including the player's house in Megaton. Activate an urn with a coffee cup in the player's inventory to receive a piping hot cup of coffee. Or, if that's not enough caffine for you, activate the urn with a coffee pot for a larger dose.

Moriarty has installed a still behind and underneath the bar in Megaton. Use the still valve with an empty whiskey bottle, large whiskey bottle, or shot glass in inventory to receive a dose of Moriarty's special, Everglow.

All new foods should be effected by the Food Purifier, and those who have the Lead Belly perk should notice a drop in rads from any of the new waters added by Fallout Food.

Also, those with the Cannibal perk should be able to harvest human flesh when they devour a corpse, and will notice increased health from eating any cannibalistic recipies. The base values of human flesh were toned down for the non cannibal.

NukaCola machines now respawn, and look for a special machine in the Nuka Cola HQ

Radscorps now carry 'prey' food, and may have different kinds of meat on them.

Also, working grills have been placed around Point Lookout and the Wastelands. These may be used to cook the 'basic' Fallout type foods.

Please note, this mod was originally designed for personal use, and some items have been modified to suit my own tastes.
