Grilled radroach? Mutant hound chops? Sliced molerat? If you have a gag reflex as you're reading this because you had to made those way too often in your playthrough then fret not, this little mod will help you out. It adds a healthy collection of new food and drink items you can craft immediately as soon as you leave the vault - provided you have all the ingredients at hand, and sometimes it requires you to find out that it actually exists.

-= About this mod =-


Commonwealth Buff-Et adds both a list of tasty treats and a few extra aid items which should have been in the vanilla game in the first place (imho :-P). It also makes a few other items more useful in the game, especially for players who enjoy playing in survival mode.

Current item count:
171 new items
40 modifed items from the vanilla game

And before anyone asks: NO, I will NOT make a version with all recipes unlocked by default! The recipes are not hard to acquire, you can get them all before even reaching level 20 without any issues (did that twice now and it was a lot of fun). If you cannot be bothered to actually play the game in order to get a little reward I cannot be bothered to help you.

With that out of the way, here's the list of what's on the menu:

Tier 0 (basic components)
- You can now craft cooking oil for your kitchen. Requires either gourd or mirelurk meat, a cooking station, and a rank of 2 in Science!
- Meat Marinade. Requires cooking oil, soap (or chalk) and acid. An important cooking ingredient, but in an emergency you can also "drink" it to remove a big load of RADs and even cure parasite infections in survival mode - but the mixture won't be good for both your HP and your thirst level ...
- Raw Brahmin milk. Yep, you can get milk from your Brahmin now. Just place the milk collector barrel (resources->food category inworkshop mode) in your settlement and every evening you'll get some raw milk (depends on the amount of Brahmin you have).

Tier 1 (the cheap, light HP-only stuff you can easily craft right from the start. Value up to 25 caps)
- Molerat Bacon

Buffed beverages
- All alcoholic beverages now reduce RADs! It's not much, but sometimes you just need that little extra of your HP back in order to survive
- All beer types now quench thirst in survival mode. Given the alcohol volume of most beers in the US in RL you really won't have to worry about beer being too dehydrating too much ;-)
- Also, the costs for beer have been altered a little bit. Normal beer still costs 5 caps, however all Gwinnett beers now cost 12 caps (good for getting some cash if you sell it), while the Wastelander Lager costs 18 caps (to compensate for the value of the ingredients).
- Oh, and you can craft Vodka, Whiskey and Rum at your brewery station if you need it.
- Some consumables from the vanilla game have also their stats improved a little bit to make them more useful in the game: Grilled Radroach is lighter and requires less meat, Mutt Chops restores more HP, Iguana Soup is slightly more efficient and far more valuable, and Ribeye Steak provides notably more HP.
-= Bug & Issues =-

Since the mod alters the vanilla alcoholic beverages by adding the rad removal effect, any items which also directly alter their effects will overwrite the effect again.

-= Locations =-

If you simply cannot find an item: here's the list of locations where you can acquire the recipes (do not read if you don't wanna spoil your fun, you've been warned!)



1) Molerat Bacon:
On the grill inside the hut behind Sanctuary Hills. Just pick up the bacon to unlock the recipe.


2) Cooking oil:
Go into the ruins north of Fort Hagen, close to the radio tower. You will find a book on one of the desks inside the destroyed chemistry classroom.


3) Meat marinade and Jerky
Inside the Drumlin Diner at Salem, on the desk close to the skeletton of the chef and next to the stove.


4) Canned meat (radroach, Cram Can, Squirrel In A Can)
Behind the hut southwest of Abernathy farm. The canning press is the only way to produce new potting cans and cram cans (requires 1 steel each).


5) Wasteland Junkfood and Wastelander lemonade
On the kitchen table inside the building next to the weapons shop at University Point.


6) Wasteland Lager, Moonshine (and the brewery/distillery workbench)

In the collapsed railway station building southwest of Murkwater Construction Site.

On the end of the pier on the other side of the lake surrounding Sanctuary Hills. Near the switch for the secret bottlecap stash.

In the valley between Listening Post Bravo and the Slog where the Yao-Guai is roaming around. You really can't miss it because it's - pretty obvious. :D


30) Rad-Killer

31) Antiseptic Paste
On the table in the little Railroad observation post west of the Vault 111 elevator platform.
