Compatibility: This mod will conflict with other mods that change the same foods. It has native support for Tale of Two Wastelands.

Requirements:
Recommended with this mod:
Food Effect Tweaks - Custom Food Healing - Allows to customize the amount of healing on foods
Hardcore Needs - Adds detrimental effects to chems
Pipboy in pictures is Pip-Boy 2000 Mk VI
Minor stuff to consider:
Some displayed effects will be inaccurate due to how the game handles them. Mostly radroach and gecko recipes which increase your maximun HP/AP, the game displays these effects as recovery effects, so if an item restores 2 HP per second and gives +10 max HP, it will show +12 HP/s. They work as intended nonetheless, to see them properly check your effect list on pipboy > stats. Also some effects cannot display their duration.
