The beavers are clearly eating the books. Can I get a beaver bento box book included?

[open canopy]

I actually considered this approach, but it didn't work very well because books have nothing to do with hunger needs.
For example, on easy difficulty, beavers consume less food per day, so they would get fewer books.
Even on Normal or Hard difficulty, the beavers' book needs would probably be too low, and the beavers' book needs would be empty before 24 hours had passed.
Since this would change the consumption of books that were originally supposed to be consumed, I decided not to attach a short story to the bento.
Water is not included with the bento for the same reason.
I did not want to change the balance of the vanilla game, as it would have been too much of a change for me.
However, if you want this behavior, you can add the following to the RecipeSpecification and GoodSpecification in the Mod folder.
If you do so, please keep a backup in a separate folder, as any updates to the mod will overwrite the data and make it disappear.

RecipeSpecification.FoodPackAll.Packing.original.json
  "Ingredients": [
    {
      "Good": {
        "Id": "Book"
      },
      "Amount": 1
    }
   ]

GoodSpecification.FoodPackAll.Packing.original.json
    "ConsumptionEffects": [
      {
        "NeedId": "Books",
        "Points": 0.04
      }

[hardy steeple]

Thank you so much. I will take all your words into consideration

[open canopy]

Support for update 4 (v1.2.0)

[warm basin]

@open canopy translation deDE v1.2.0

[open canopy]

Thank you!
I guess I need to ping everyone since many people have localized it

[hardy steeple]

OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU!!!!

I've missed this mod quite a bit. Thank you for all your hard works.

[indigo kindle]

that looks different

[open canopy]

It's a bento factory and an energy gel factory
Folktails may have forgotten the pleasures of cooking, but they never forgot the pleasures of eating
But Ironteeth no longer regarded eating as anything more than an act of nourishment (headcanon)

[open canopy]

@versed fern @white light @drifting grove
Excuse me for sending a ping
Packing Plant has been redesigned for Ironteeth and has new recipes and flavor text
I am using the previous translation as a placeholder, please send me the file if you have any updates
I will update it when experimental branch is merged into the main branch at the latest

[versed fern]

Could you list the recipes? I mean ingredients, so I can come up with fitting names?

new lines are starting from
minorunara.Good.HealthShakeAll.DisplayName,Meal Replacement,- ?

[open canopy]

recipes lists
**Health Shake (Fermented)**🤮
-Fermented Cassava
-Fermented Soybean
-Fermented Mushroom

Health Shake (Ration)
-Corn Ration
-Eggplant Ration
-Algae Ration

I imagine something like this

[open canopy]

True

[versed fern]

Ah, so mix of everything, thanks, let me think.

and HealthShakeAll is mix of two?

[open canopy]

It's all ingredients (no coffee in there, for the same issue we discussed earlier about books)
Meal Replacement
-Kohlrabi
-Mangrove Fruit
-Fermented Cassava
-Fermented Soybean
-Fermented Mushroom
-Corn Ration
-Eggplant Ration
-Algae Ration

[open canopy]

No need to rush, I have to go to bed

[versed fern]

Yeah, I need to think about "Meal Replacement"

[white light]

I'm not very familiar with English. So, what does Flavor's "Morning Gathering" mean? something like motto?

[open canopy]

I got it from Frostpunk, however rather "Morning meeting" might be more appropriate
It is a gathering of employees and bosses before work begins in an office or factory, where the company motto is shouted by all

[versed fern]

Written in titled case made me think it's something like newspaper name

Thought it was very fitting for ItonT 📰

[white light]

Oh, Frostpunk, KR adult can easily understand it. good.
I'm very happy to update this.

[open canopy]

Thanks! Updated

[fleet geode]

I seem to be having some very unusual problems with this specific mod. Would it be best to post about it here or in the modding-basics channel?

[open canopy]

What is it like?

[fleet geode]

It seems to be corrupting saves. Basically, I can use the mod, play with the mod on for a while, then save and after reloading the game, the save does not load. If I turn off the mod, I can load the game without the plant, then resave the game, quit, reload the mod, put the buildings back in, and save, and the map will load again. I can save here and reload the game with the plant. Then again after a while I save and have to go through the entire process again. It only seems to happen with this one mod though.

I can probably upload some files tomorrow if there are specific ones that would help.

[open canopy]

What's happening😱
As far as I know, this is the only mod that currently works with V4 that adds its own items, so maybe there is something wrong there
Hmmm, I don't know if I can fix it, but a crash report might help
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Timberborn\Error reports
Thanks for letting me know

[fleet geode]

I made a new error log this morning. Just let me know if theres anything else I can do to help!

[warm basin]

Are you sure your're loading the exact same save after turning the mod of?
I'm having here #🤖mod-creators message the same problem.
But after reading this, I deinstalled Packing Plant and tried to load that save and it crashes nontheless.
Difference is, I haven't placed a buildung from this mod yet.
I compared the two "1 Exception ... .txt" files in notepad++ and they're identical.
This error was first reported to @tulip stirrup because of his Water Extention mod.

[tulip stirrup]

Hmm we need someone that can debug what is realy wrong

[warm basin]

Do you know when the first report came? Did the person who reported also had Packing Plant installed? Or before Packing Plant was updated for U4?
Yeah we should bribe pmduda with a puzzle to run those saves through their debugging tool even if the saves are modded.

[tulip stirrup]

Think that was before packing plant was updated but the error was first noted with u4 in my water extention

[warm basin]

That's what I thought

[fleet geode]

Ya it is the same save. I have a set of 3 saves that I could post if it helps. One that crashes when loading with the packing plant, one that does not have the plants, and one made right after replacing the buildings and the save loads. Of course if you use that save for a while and make a new save it stops being able to be loaded.

[open canopy]

Thank you
I loaded the save data you provided and the exact same thing happened in my environment.
It fails to load when the mod is enabled and loads when the mod is disabled.
Oddly enough, it seems that it is not the item that is the problem, but the building.
I honestly have no idea what the cause is.
I wonder what's going on

[warm basin]

I just tested with my before mentioned save.
Deactivating Packing Plant still crash.
Deactivating Extended Floodgates still crash.

Deactivating Water Extention still crash.
Then I renamed the BepinEx folder and the save loads in a vanilla environment.
So I think it's not one building from one mod that destroys the save.
It's any building from any mod that has the potential to destroy the save.
And for everybody it seems to be a different one.

[tulip stirrup]

Wonder if its enought to have TAPI as only plugin

[warm basin]

With only TAPI the save loads fine. Would it be helpful, if I continue to find out, which mod is the culprit for me?

[tulip stirrup]

Sure

[hardy steeple]

i think i've been experiencing this issue too but with the water extension mod previously, i never got as far as uninstalling the mod and testing the save file(i'm not that smart lol,) but when i saw the uploaded the errors they looked a whole lot like mine. I've been referring to it as a corrupt save(glad i didn't delete it,) when it might be a not with that mod save lol

i will update after i have a chance to test it this evening.

[warm basin]

So after further testing, for me the mod destroying the safe is 2-tall small storage.

[hardy steeple]

this has me so curious

[white light]

The exact same type of error (except for the address where the error occurred) occurred to me as well. It was working flawlessly until 12 hours ago...
I don't have enough motivation to do an ablation test, so I have no choice but to stare at it until someone solves it.

[open canopy]

sigh😰
If I get the same error with Torii or Geothermal Plant, perhaps it's my development environment, but if I only get the error with Packing Plant, I really don't know what's wrong
Update 4 doesn't seem to like me
Maybe I should tag it as broken before I disappoint people any further

[tulip stirrup]

Well with it happening with multiple mods its more likely that is some weird bug in TAPI( multiple component error)

[hardy steeple]

Yea I don't think it's your mod. Which is amazing btw. I have two saves where the mod causing the issue is the water extension mod, and my most recent one was vertical power shafts........I have another corrupted save that remains untested as far

[white light]

I don't know if it's a problem with update 4 or TAPI, but when I rerun the game, the order of building icons is intermittently changed, or the order of building materials is changed. I thought my eyes were broken somewhere, but maybe it's true that **something **is unstable...?

How the hell does SingleOrDefault cause an error...

[tulip stirrup]

because it can only be one or default

[tulip stirrup]

that is a bug in TAPI

[white light]

[open canopy]

Thanks for the kind words

[cosmic forge]

Getting a skin graphics glitch when I build more than one of these.

[tulip stirrup]

its not that you use mirrored buildings mod? (or have it installed even?)

[cosmic forge]

I do have and use Mirror

[tulip stirrup]

That mod has a know bug that can break models but author has no time to investigate

[cosmic forge]

Right. I'll unflip and see what happens.

[tulip stirrup]

May even try to disable mod and see how it behave. Alt f4 do not create a auto save if buildings go missing without that mod

[cosmic forge]

Unflipping fixed it. And now I know what to look for if something weird happens again.

Don't even know what I did. Just randomly clicked on stuff.

[tulip stirrup]

@open canopy My message could be gone a long way but it could have found a reason for the crash see: #🤖mod-creators message

[open canopy]

So I think I have fixed the long-suffering bug that was causing it to fail to load
Updating to version 1.2.2 should load the save data normally and not cause any further corruption of the save data
Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. And thank you🙂
The error report provided by @fleet geode was helpful in confirming the fix

[fleet geode]

Its a great mod, Im glad you got it fixed!

[acoustic thorn]

Why the does the "all" option for FT use 1 sunflower seed and 2 of everything else (7 crops) to create 15 packages? I always thought all food units were nutritionally equal, so shouldn't it simply be 1 or 2 of everything to create either 8 or 16 packages?

[tulip stirrup]

think it has to do with how much hunger they fill

[acoustic thorn]

The only source I have is the wiki (||https://timberborn.fandom.com/wiki/Food||):

Beavers consume, on average, 2.5 units of food per day to fill their hunger and will prioritize other food types over Berries. Each food in game is worth one food unit irrelevant of type.

[open canopy]

The nutritional value of sunflower seeds is higher than other foods, and one consumption restores half of the beaver's sunflower seed gauge.
When choosing foods (other than Packing Food), beavers give preference to foods with the lowest gauge, so when a sufficient variety of foods are offered, sunflower seeds are consumed less.
That is why the recipe requires only one sunflower seed.

[acoustic thorn]

How did you figure that out? I never saw that mentioned anywhere and it seems like really important information to calculate ideal crop distribution.

[acoustic thorn]

So, I ran some tests and you're right. Sunflower Seeds provide more nutritional value than other food types. The default need that one gets from a single food unit seems to be 0.2 (scale is 0.0 to 1.0). The only exception are Sunflower Seeds, which fills the respective need up to 0.5 per unit. In conclusion, I always planted too much sunflower seeds and that's why the warehouse filled up so quickly. 😅

[versed fern]

You no longer update github repo?

[open canopy]

Well, I thought I would do it later and forgot about it
I just did it now

[versed fern]

Thanks, finally got to update the translations!

[hardy steeple]

Poor IT don't get paper mills anymore, maybe their beaver bento takes metal blocks?

Seems on brand with the IT if nothing else

[full fiber]

Just add the papermill back specifically for the packaging plant

well I add it for the windmills and beehives that I added but yeah, could consider faction exchange a dependency from now on to resolve the papermill issue

[hardy steeple]

i was just suggesting the sub for the sake of ease of modder

[full fiber]

Well the alternative solution is to just use planks instead of paper and make boxes instead of wrapping

[hardy steeple]

I guess that's fair too

[prime dove]

i cannot see the packing plant option in the tool bar but i see the food option in storage

[tulip stirrup]

Update 5? Note its not u5 ready!

[prime dove]

oh..i did not look at that sorry

[open canopy]

Paper gone?
How dare you!!! :greta's face:
I would use metal blocks, but they are too expensive due to not being recyclable, so I went ad-hoc and used planks

[hardy steeple]

Hurray, one of the best mods returns. Any word on the Tori Gates?

[open canopy]

The torii has also been updated⛩️
I wasn't sure if I should put well-being on the lantern, but for now it is the same as before

[hardy steeple]

Bless your hard work

[full fiber]

I know this won't be instant but could you add a variant of the building for GreedyBuilders Faction please? It needs to cover needs generated by crops of both factions instead of just one or the other. For now I've a custom mod that specifies the FT one to be used in GB but I'd really rather have recipes that cover everything. I did try adding both variants of the building to GB but that just crashed the game.

[opal ridge]

bruh why there's no u6 version

[indigo kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/because-runaway-parksandrec-gif-5504946

[full fiber]

No worries bud, at some point I'll try to implement bentos with the same effect via built in bakery and food factory. I got the bentos to function correctly, now I just need to get the recipes added to the buildings

[opal ridge]

yay

[full fiber]

Don't expect it to be quick, I'm unskilled when it comes to models and scripting in tapi, mainly because all that ISingleton and other un-intuitional names just put me off even trying.

[opal ridge]

k

[full fiber]

It's up

[opal ridge]

yay

[flint birch]

So is it like that from 1 "meal" they get all the food buffs?

[full fiber]

yep, for the bentos I added an extra buff because who doesn't like more variety in their meals? 🙂

that said, all bento related comments should go into the Bentos thread/channel/whatever it is so that we don't bug the packaging plant author with pings about stuff not directly related to their mod 🙂

[jovial turtle]

Hi everyone. Will this mod be ported to the new version?

[dusty zephyr]

Will it be coming on steam packing plant

[full fiber]

well you can download my bentos mod since it's working last I checked. Unlike this mod it's friendly to GreedyBuilders (and probably the Emberpelts that are under dev, just needs some additional json to declare it to the faction).

[untold geode]

so packing plant won't come to steam?

[full fiber]

never mind steam I don't think it's coming to U6 at all, you'll have to make do with my bentos mod

[opal ridge]

😦

[open canopy]

Well, I am planning to do it one of these days, but now that I am a full time worker, I don't have much time.
Maybe in the new year...maybe.

[shadow ermine]

I remember when I was a student. So much free times...

[shadow ermine]

Still hopping that one day we get an update

[edgy pollen]

@open canopy would you be willing to opensource it? I could update it to 1.0 for you

[shadow ermine]

I think, the issue is that it used another mod as a template at the beginning ... So it would need to be recreated more or less from source (and to be honest, wioth how the game changed, the only thing that might be kept would be the models ^^)

[edgy pollen]

I thought i saw this before, i think it was tobbert his mod right?

[shadow ermine]

I thought it was Alec
