This mod is dead. Use Custom Foods 3 instead. It has the content of this mod and much more. It is less user friendly but work the same way and you can tweak it as you please with a bit of understanding.
CustomFoods 3 (isn't meant to be modified like customFood2. i added food that people might want to have.) people can make requests for food to be added.
I love this! I just wish I could add more than 8 foods, regardless of how unnecessary it really is! I've changed all the names and recipes and altered the bar/block icons to fit better (and made one of my own, for alien sushi). I love how this makes you able to "preserve" veggie foodstuffs and also use eggs for food. Two possible improvements, though: -The ability to set a custom number of recipes (I've never modded and have no idea what it'd take) -Like someone mentioned below, Could the fabricator tab perhaps be called something other than cake?
Awesome little mod, very convenient. Have you maybe plans to also add more to the gameplay by making the recipies first available after finding the neccessary ingredient for it? Like this they wouldn't show up in the fabricator menue right from the start but get accessable step by step :)
I love that this mod gives me a reason to go out and gather coral tube samples other than for one or two recipes. And the cakes are a life saver!!! It was so annoying that I couldn't make my own nutrient bars, and fish rotted so quickly. Finding or waiting for salt deposits was such a hassle, especially when your focus is elsewhere.
Although, if I have ONE compalint for this mod is the fact that certain recipes requiring water doesn't allow Disinfectant/Large Filtered Water as a substitute for regular Filtered Water. Which require bladderfish, so you either have to ignore those recipes if their population starts getting low in the wild (or don't exist bc you build your base far from the safe shallows), OR rush to get the tank blueprint and slowly breed them, which puts you at risk of drowning if you don't plan well (but I've played this game like 3-4 times now lmao).
If having the other water options as a substitute is a complicated modification, then I'll quit complaining, lol. But it's a minor complaint that's more of a backburner type of update if you consider tweaking it.
About your complaint that's an easy change you can do yourself with any text editor.
If you've got Notepad++ open the file "config.json" from this Mod (in the CustomFood2's folder) with Notepad++, then press Ctrl + H. In the first field (research) you put "FilteredWater" (without the " " for both fields) and in the second one (replace by) you can put "DisinfectedWater"' or "Bleach" (Disinfectant) but with one Bleach you can craft two Disinfected Waters so it's a better deal like, or "BigFilteredWater" for the Large Filtered Water. (As TheLaser wrote in his comment below IDs are case sensitive and must be capitalised) Then you click on "replace everything" and voilà ! (mine being in french i'm just translating here, not quite sure about the terms/words used in english in Notepad++ but you should manage i guess)
And if you don't have Notepad++ (you should get it though) you just do it manually 8 times with the 8 Juices recipes, save your changes and you're good to go.
to this "Juices": { "Juice1": { "Enabled": true, "Ingredients": { "Ingredient1": { "Amount": 1, "Item": "DisinfectedWater" }, "Ingredient2": { "Amount": 1, "Item": "BulboTreePiece" }, "Ingredient3": { "Amount": 0, "Item": "None" }, "Ingredient4": { "Amount": 0, "Item": "None" }, "Ingredient5": { "Amount": 0, "Item": "None" } }, "Name": "Bulbo Tree Juice", "Size": { "X": 1, "Y": 1 }, "Tooltip": "Water mixed with a Bulbo Tree Sample", "Values": { "Food": 10, "Health": 15, "Water": 45 } You can change the values of Food & Water to your liking and even add some Health, gained or lost (with a minus "- 15").
Thanks to YenzGaming for such useful Mod ! Endorsed.
P.S.: I did notice that you didn't come back on the Nexus since you wrote your comment, but if that can help anybody else i'll be more than happy...
I seriously love this mod. Once you figure out the exact syntax of the individual item ID's (on some, it is trial and error, I always keep a backup config file so I do not lose all my progress so it's no problem) it is so much fun. I created foods such as creepvine leaf salad, stalker egg omelet or reginald pastry, as well as plant based milk and fermented drinks and teas, and created custom icons for them. And I just have so many more ideas for other foods!
I would love to be able to create even more than 8 per category, let's say 20 per category (if this is possible, it would be awesome if you could add them and set them to disabled in the config, but then those who want more can enable them and customize them.)
I am getting an error every time I try to open the file. The message is as follows: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged. I am able to extract the files from all other mods that I have downloaded and I am not a stranger to using WinRar so I can safely say this is not user error. Please help. Thank you.
I have tried opening file 1-0-0 and it opens fine, file 1-1-0 does not open.

*Off to play with the drink recipes*

And if you don't have Notepad++ (you should get it though) you just do it manually 8 times with the 8 Juices recipes, save your changes and you're good to go.
Like this for instance :
"Juices": {
"Juice1": {
"Enabled": true,
"Ingredients": {
"Ingredient1": {
"Amount": 1,
"Item": "FilteredWater"
},
"Ingredient2": {
"Amount": 1,
"Item": "BulboTreePiece"
},
"Ingredient3": {
"Amount": 0,
"Item": "None"
},
"Ingredient4": {
"Amount": 0,
"Item": "None"
},
"Ingredient5": {
"Amount": 0,
"Item": "None"
}
},
"Name": "Bulbo Tree Juice",
"Size": {
"X": 1,
"Y": 1
},
"Tooltip": "Water mixed with a Bulbo Tree Sample",
"Values": {
"Food": 10,
"Water": 35
}
to this
"Juices": {
"Juice1": {
"Enabled": true,
"Ingredients": {
"Ingredient1": {
"Amount": 1,
"Item": "DisinfectedWater"
},
"Ingredient2": {
"Amount": 1,
"Item": "BulboTreePiece"
},
"Ingredient3": {
"Amount": 0,
"Item": "None"
},
"Ingredient4": {
"Amount": 0,
"Item": "None"
},
"Ingredient5": {
"Amount": 0,
"Item": "None"
}
},
"Name": "Bulbo Tree Juice",
"Size": {
"X": 1,
"Y": 1
},
"Tooltip": "Water mixed with a Bulbo Tree Sample",
"Values": {
"Food": 10,
"Health": 15,
"Water": 45
}
You can change the values of Food & Water to your liking and even add some Health, gained or lost (with a minus "- 15").
