Vanilla Foods Expanded

[tight fractal]

This is something I've been working on for a couple of months now to teach myself LUA code. The idea behind it was to add a whole variety of food that is identical in style and use to vanilla food around what was popular in America, in the 90's.

I've got it down to a few categories:

• canned foods such as meats, vegetables, fruits, soup, stew and bait
• sauces, relishes and salad dressing
• herbs, spices and seasonings that can be added to any recipe
• a huge variety of pantry (shelf-stable) snacks and foods
• desserts such as cake mixes and jelly
• drinks, packs of water, alcohol, shelf stable milk
• fresh fruit and vegetables
• fridge and freezer food
• new recipes and evolved recipes

I'm aiming to keep vanilla spawn rates as close as possible, just going through the testing phase at the moment. The idea is to have a variety with the same spawn numbers.

Tooltips are written for anything that requires additional ingredients to make.

Why am I making this? Partly because I hate myself (kidding), because mods out there haven't quite scratched that itch I'm after for a stupid amount of food - so I'm doing it myself.

Suggestions, comments, feedback all welcome.

I have also put up a wiki on Notion here (https://jiizzy.notion.site/Project-Zomboid-Vanilla-Food-Expanded-6472f59e0a4b46f68e9cc27d23c866d2), detailing all of the items I've added and what I'm currently working on. I'm about a third of the way through the project and have finished and tested around 150 items.

One thing I will mention is make sure the calories are correct, one thing about Sapphs was the calories were all over the place. Fried fish was less caloric than baked.

Also pls no food on zombies, even when turning it off on Sapphs it would still show up and ruined my game so I had to remove it.

[tight fractal]

I've been very focused on the calories and taking them from real life examples, it's one thing I noticed in Sapph's that I didn't like too much either. And no loot on zombies, just replicating where stuff spawns in vanilla so it feels more like that, there's mods out there that add zombie loot already.

[tight fractal]

Spent the past couple of days teaching myself how to use Blender and thanks to the community, how to re-texture existing models. You can't say it's your first model if the scaling isn't wildly out of proportion

There are a lot of models to re-texture and create, so I've got my work cut out for me.

[tight fractal]

Cooking up in the kitchen today is canned foods, something I've always felt needed more variety in the game. There are meals like savory mince and ravioli, soups, stews, grains and beans, vegetables, fruit, meat, insects and a few jars. Totaling at 48 new items to find in-game, matching vanilla spawn rates, so its just more variety.

I've really looked into the aspect of adding food to evolved recipes, it's something that lacks and isn't totally consistent to the vanilla game. Everything can be added, within reason, to everything that just makes sense. We're in the apocalypse, if I want to have a chickpea pizza.. I will.

Everything has their own icon and 3D model.

Soup and stew have the ability to be poured into a bowl to eat, we might be overrun by hordes but dammed if we'll live like animals. I've added a tooltip to the can to remind you of this, essentially something you'd find on a label anyway. This idea is being carried out through the rest of the project.

Next up ~ herbs, spices, seasonings and sauce.

[peak sand]

Sometimes i find myself with nothing to do, so if you need some 3d modeling done maybe i could help? I myself love cooking in PZ but it lacks in few areas so if i can somewhat help in expanding that aspect, do let me know.

[tight fractal]

Some help with modelling would be amazing, I’m currently up to the sauces, so when you’ve got nothing to do, hit me up and I’ll show you where I’m up to and see if it’s your jam. Any and all ideas are welcome, the more the merrier!

[peak sand]

I actually meant that lately I have little to do so I'm overall willing to help (not just sometime). Do you want stick to DM or here ?

[peak sand]

I can come up with some models and maybe some simple animations since I started messing with them recently.

[tight fractal]

Animations would be amazing, I haven’t even thought about that component of it yet. Give me about 45 and I’ll figure out where I’m up to ~ somewhere in sauces anyway

[tight fractal]

Just wanted to update ya'll since this isn't abanoned, I've just been quietly working away on it. I've refined the wiki further and it's got a bit more detail, I've made my way through the code for herbs, spices and seasonings, pantry and dessert items. Catching up on the sprites and 3D models for these at the moment. I'm aiming to have it ready by the end of the year (hopefully!)

[spiral stratus]

Hi! Do you still needing help with modeling? (:

Would love to help you!

[tight fractal]

yes! very much so, I'm a bit further along in the project as I haven't been updating this post properly, currently I'm moving what items I have made over to B42's crafting system and redoing the wiki as 42 also added in some items that I have in there. what info would you like/need?

[spiral stratus]

How interesting! Well, whatever you want to tell me about the project, I'd love to hear it. Can we talk through some kind of group or something more calmly? Or is this okay?

Actually im taking a look at the wiki of the mod

I have a basic but solid knowledge of 3D modeling and animation in Blender and in video game development, I love video games and I love PZ. I find it interesting to be part of the Modders community since I can contribute my grain of sand to the game and everything that makes it part of it.

[tight fractal]

Small update, we've started moving VFX to 42 now roughly 75% of the item and recipe code was done for 41 and now we're underway converting it over. I have some really awesome people helping me out with the models, static models and textures already but still looking for collaborators or testers (a little later down the track).

[tight fractal]

I haven't updated this in a little while so I thought I'd share a progress update slowly chipping away at everything, it's a big project after all ~ cans and jars are totally done, fruits and vegetables are nearly done, working through the seasonings and sauces, and finally starting on pantry item code. It's really cool to see it all coming together

[earnest viper]

I can't wait to see this on the workshop, I've wanted something like this for a long time and you seem to be doing an amazing job at it

[tight fractal]

thank you so much!

[earnest viper]

you're very welcome

[tight fractal]

today's progress, cereal code is totally done for the pantry category, just catching up on models now

[flat wave]

is this on the workshorp?

[tight fractal]

not yet, still in development

[flat wave]

awesome ! looks amazing

[tight fractal]

thank you

[tight fractal]

Little preview of what's been modeled in the game so far, excluding the jars and cans. All of the item and recipe scripts are done finally, now we're focusing on making all of these models
And a huge shout-out to Aatheom who has been working on this project with me for months now, making all of the fruit models so far 🍎

[tight fractal]

Meat is slowly progressing, special thanks to Aatheom who made the models and raw textures. We've got beef brisket, chicken thigh and drumsticks so far! 👩‍🍳

[tight fractal]

Just finished all of the meat, one step closer to being doneskies!

[tight fractal]

Frosting! Both tubs that have an unlimited shelf life, and fresh frosting with new recipes to make them

[tight fractal]

making my way through the baking category, finished up cake and muffins - each come as a boxed pre-made mix, just add a couple ingredients, and individual recipes locked behind magazines or skill level

[upper parrot]

Looks sweet. Keep up the good work!

[opal ingot]

Really Look forward your mod!! it's for 41and42?

[tight fractal]

only 42 at this stage

[thorn shale]

Hello! 👋 Super new to the scene, had a wild idea for an idea to pursue if I can join in on coding, soups and cereal in various liquid containers

Like any bottle, or mug you can fill with soup

[tight fractal]

It's all coming together so quickly, 80% of the models are done! We're now up to over 1200 new items, recipes and evolved recipes

[tight fractal]

pizza party

[shut badger]

Holy heck this is amazing! Thanks for working on this guys, the PZ community is gonna flip when they see this

[tepid sky]

Looking forward to this as well. The baking system in Zomboid is already pretty niche, this will skyrocket it.

[tight fractal]

Ready for release next Tuesday, 30th September (EDT) 🤫

[tepid sky]

Woot!

[tight fractal]

It's finally here! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3577903007

[warm gazelle]

pal the mod is amazing! thanks a lot!!!!

[tight fractal]

thank you so much!

[sweet ridge]

Lets goo

Was following this for the longest time

[dusk imp]

I'm glad to see it's done! Would like to say: Worcestershire sauce could be a good addition to the items!

[tight fractal]

A little sneaky-peak at the update coming pretty soon, on the theme of halloween

[warm gazelle]

Is this gonna be an add on or straight into the main mod?

[tight fractal]

this one is going straight into the main mod, as its fitting to the vanilla feel in my opinion, planned expansions like region-specific foods (i.e. australia) will be an add-on

[warm gazelle]

i was checking its not possible to use the new clay plates for platting, and is the mod conflicting with this mod? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3399320470&searchtext=plates

[tight fractal]

I'll add in clay plates for the next update, it shouldnt conflict with 'make your plates useful', I'm using that alongside VFX in my current play-through

what do you think is conflicting for you?

[warm gazelle]

Ah ok i eas just asking cause serving platea is quite usefull i can put all the food i cook on the plates or in one plate, i just happy is not having any conflict with it

[tight fractal]

Sorry, I totally read it wrong - I thought you said "it is conflicting".

It doesn't and works well alongside VFX, since some VFX dishes can be made into plates (where it makes sense) and others bowls 🙂

[warm gazelle]

hey i was trying to prepare the tortellini and i was wandering why i cannot add any sauce to them like bechamel or marinara

[tight fractal]

right now it's just a plain item on it's own, I'm planning to make them evolved recipes eventually 😊

[warm gazelle]

i maybe found some bugs, in the bars i was able to find bottle of beers full and sealed ,from the mod, in the garbage bin instead of empty ones, this happen also with bottles of soda, and the packs with fresh food doesn't rotten till u open it

[warm gazelle]

Hey i would leave a suggestikn can i leave it here or on the workshop page?

[tight fractal]

here is fine

[warm gazelle]

So i was thinking making sausages, with ingredients like garlic or chilli, to make them fresh or smoked , for preserving, like find intestines from pigs or rabbits drybthem for the sausages casing.

[tight fractal]

I do have sausage making on my list, sort of part of a broader update that would overhaul the butchering in game to give the intestines so that you can use them for sausage casings. Having them evolved is an excellent idea though, I'll make sure I put that in my notes and include it

[warm gazelle]

Yes pz is lacking in a good mod for food and preserving, now i'm using like your mod plus another 3😅

[tight fractal]

have you had a look at the wiki? I've been updating it slowly with the homesteading update we're working on - in short, long term survival food, ways to make stuff outside of what you'd find at the supermarket

[warm gazelle]

Ah no i'll give a look if u want i can help with recipes i work as a chef and ny hobbybis homesteading, preserving also with historical recipes.

[sweet ridge]

we need Kebabs Jizzy

[tight fractal]

I can do kebabs do you mean meat on a stick or do you mean the wrapped bread?

[sweet ridge]

durums haha

[tight fractal]

Any ideas in that department, throw my way ~ I am about halfway through the update now, so it's the perfect time to throw some extras in there that you want to see. Not everything is on the wiki yet, I'm just updating it as I work through all of the stuff I have on my list

[tight fractal]

yeee I can do that, I'm adding pita bread this update so it works out perfectly

[warm gazelle]

i can start with basic ones, mostly from my studies of US Frontier era, like Smoked meat, dry aged, salted meat u can also make salted and smoked meat to make it last longer, Pemmican mix of berrys, trimmed meat and fat, Native american food, the Hardtack a biscuit made of salt flour and water, salted pork in barrel, in europe we have aromatic Brined fish followed by drying or curing with sugar and salt, cured ham like iberico or parma ham, there is alsa waxed preservation but is already in another mod who have also the coplete system of beehives.

i will also maybe suggest to add others books for those metodology, like preservation book, smoking and salting, but this is because i like to scavenge and not to know everything from the start, PZ is already a very easy game

maybe for trimming meat or with knife, need long time, or meat grinder

[oblique rune]

human meat when (jk, love the mod genuinely an underrated gem

[tight fractal]

but thank you!

[warm gazelle]

Underated? Really?

[oblique rune]

I always have to remind my friends to add it

[warm gazelle]

As i saw it on the mod projects i awaited to be posted in the workshop, i love it, its vanilla friendly don't add a million of useless objects and is realistic with a survivors lifestyle, and with the new update of homesteade will be total mod also for preservig......

@tight fractal Actually another suggestion can be to re add the vegetables sacks like in the 41, that were helpibg to keep the veggies like salad longer

[tight fractal]

was that a base game or modded thing in 41? sounds like it could fit in

[warm gazelle]

was base game

i don't know why they took it out

maybe for a rework

but was comfortable also to svae space and u can fit kike 12 cabbages in a sack

[tight fractal]

re. your other things, some of it fits more into the butchering update I'm in the early phases of planning, I've pushed rendering animal lard aside to that, since animal fat would be a by-product of butchering, same with sausage making. Preserving with salt is something I'm looking at implementing, not totally sure how I'll pull it off yet, but were ideas were great

[warm gazelle]

sure...man ur mod is amazing take all the time u need

i'm just happy to contribute with recipes

[tight fractal]

if you do like following the development, not to advertise my own server blatantly, but I do end up posting more there, than I do here, I sometimes forget to update this space 😅

[warm gazelle]

is frustrating for me to have 6 mods for cooking and preserving i prefer one mod well done

an d till now your is the most friendly vanilla and not exagerated

[tight fractal]

we're working on it, slowly but surely, in filling out all of the areas that I feel like are missing from the game

[warm gazelle]

i tried sapph but too many things

like caviar.....who is gonna eat caviar in a redneck trailer XD

but i like the mixer for making juices

in rp server i was selling orange juice

[tight fractal]

biggest grip for me at the moment is end game and not having enough stuff to keep my little chef self happy once your supplies run out

[tight fractal]

ayee, that is pretty cool!

I'm working on an appliance project to the side, maybe I'll put a juicer on that list

[warm gazelle]

i like to make various things to keep it fresh th egameplay i'm not that player who eat butter for calories

XD

[tight fractal]

since the halloween update, I huff down candy for the calories ahaha

[warm gazelle]

actually moon is working on a project to fix the calories and add boredom for the same food ate costantly

i really enjoy hunting now in game

[tight fractal]

the boredom would be a great factor, I should make sure VFX is compatible with that, especially since it's main factor is variety

[warm gazelle]

when mp will be more stable if someone gonna open a nice rp server i want o be an hunter

[tight fractal]

I would love to be a shop keeper with food, hoarding all the good stuff and cooking up dinner for everyone

[warm gazelle]

living of selling meat and pelts

[tight fractal]

what a life

[warm gazelle]

the emporium of the surviving town

cool

now i'm in hype for the horse mod

taht's gonna ramp up rp servers

and with your mod for the food even more

[tight fractal]

same! they said the 7th, but I know it's american time and I'm going to have to wait an extra day

[warm gazelle]

it could be fun also opena bakery, making like mission for the players for ingredients execpt yeast using the sourdough

[tight fractal]

sourdough will have a starter you need to keep alive using flour, water and a jar - all super accessible resources at any stage of the game

it's keeping it alive that's the hard part!

(not really, just feed it more flour each day)

[warm gazelle]

yep i know cause i'm doing sourdough bread every morning XD

for the restaurant where i work

[tight fractal]

yum!

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-simpsons-juicy-gif-6692258396482537216

[warm gazelle]

we use like 4 different flour, from whole to spelt

[tight fractal]

some bread I made recently, would you believe it's gluten free

I miss sourdough

[tight fractal]

tell me which flours! I need to add more to the game, so far I've just added barley and rye

[warm gazelle]

last week we started to experiment with sorghum

[tight fractal]

aye, nice!

[warm gazelle]

i will say based on the avaible farming

rye

rye breda

bread

[tight fractal]

yeah I made it so rye and barley get processed into rye and barley flour, and they can be used to make rye bread, pumperknickle, barley bread, etc.

did not make any sense to me why those flours were missing

[warm gazelle]

sorghum can be good but u will need to make models and script a new plant

[tight fractal]

farming is on my list of stuff to do

[warm gazelle]

many things are missing..tis said they have a rework of the food in their plans

[tight fractal]

not this update by any means, but eventually

[warm gazelle]

few month ago they made some polls about recipes

maybe a multi cereal bread

or nuts bread

with acorn

[tight fractal]

acorn flour is on my list to add, that works well

nut flour, that's a thing right? like grind down nuts to make flour?

[warm gazelle]

no usually is a belgian bread called notenbrood is kinda of a dense bread with pieces of walnuts and hazelnuts

they use wholewheat flour

soda bread it's already in your list?

i saw the only nuts in pz are peanuts and acorn

[tight fractal]

What I've got so far:
Sourdough, Sourdough Baguette, Sourdough Breadsticks, Sourdough Hamburger Buns, Sourdough Hotdog Buns, (craft-able) Hamburger Buns, (craft-able) Hotdog Buns, Brioche, Croissant, Beer Bread, Milk Bread, Frybread, English Muffins, Pita Bread, Focaccia Bread, Naan Bread, Crumpets, Breadsticks, Pretzels, Rye Bread, Rye Sourdough, Pumpernickel, Barley Bread, Barley Sourdough, Flatbread, Soup Dumplings, Scones
Some are made with wheat flour, some are made with wheat/barley/rye and some allow an kind of flour (alternatives, like acorn flour, pending what I end up adding)

For nuts, VFX does add a fair bunch of them, so I could go down that route still

[warm gazelle]

english muffins........will be funny making eggs benedict XD

it's a very long list

selling focaccia in post apocalitic bakery XD

[tight fractal]

most are evolved too, so you can beef them up and make them extra tasty

[warm gazelle]

so if u have nuts i will definetly recomend the noten brood is very good and nutritious

[tight fractal]

[warm gazelle]

whole wheat flour, water yeast hazelnuts and walnuts

sometome also sun flower seeds, pecan or raisins

[tight fractal]

sounds fairly straight forward to implement 🙂

[warm gazelle]

about the sack of veggies u can find it in the wiki https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Sack will be a lifesaver for keeping cabbages, potatoes and simialr

[warm gazelle]

I sas the models of the rice cookers theybare really nice

[tight fractal]

thank you!

[remote trench]

hey @tight fractal would you mind if I dmed you to ask some questions about making food mods? It's for the consumables creator I'm creating

[tight fractal]

yeah of course, I've got my own set of tools that I've made myself, that I can share with you as well

[warm gazelle]

i was thinking today for the homestead update, to vacuum the jars with the veggies the process need a pot of boiling water and not just put them in the oven or on the fire, is possible to add the need of hot water?

[tight fractal]

I could maybe make that work, it could fall better into the realm of my appliance mod I haven't announced yet and add in a pressure canner appliance

[tight fractal]

a little sneak peak at a much requested item ~ canned meals.. in bowls! plus I've updated the open can models, they're looking much better now

[warm gazelle]

Can't wait

[tight fractal]

@remote trench since it's VFX related, I thought I'd pop it up here ~ food storage containers! most evolved recipes can be stored in them (within reason, hot beverages are one that cannot, for example) and they extend it's shelf life out from 3 days to 7, rotten in 10. Inherits the age, so if you don't store it right away, it'll be a few less days, depending on when it's stored

[remote trench]

LESGOOO FINALLY CAN SAFELY STORE MY FOOD LEFTOVERS!

[tight fractal]

[remote trench]

Gotta add in the TAPAUWARE collection

Tupperware

Heck yeah though this is nice

Maybe a juice container or a thermos to store beverages and extend their life shelf?

[tight fractal]

Right now it's just 2 different types, since I cannot be bothered writing code for lots of different colors of containers (bigger things for the update to focus on). There are plastic containers you can find out and about in the world, then metal containers that are craftable

[remote trench]

There was a mod that added soups inside thermos and they would remain hot

It was nice

[tight fractal]

that's going on the list of ideas, damn, you are full of them

[remote trench]

We could cook soups and store inside the thermos to take on trips

[tight fractal]

YO

[remote trench]

And it would keep its warmth value

[tight fractal]

stop giving me more work

[remote trench]

Hehe I am full of ideas!

[tight fractal]

(please don't this is great, I love all this stuff)

[remote trench]

My trello is literally exploding with then lol I keep having more and more ideas before I finish my projects

[tight fractal]

literally my entire problem, I have to narrow my scope so much to cope with it all

you are only allow to focus on this, your other shit can wait

VFX updates get a theme because it's so easy to blow it out of proportion and end up with a whole bunch of things that take forever to make

[remote trench]

Lol yeah
I have like 4 or 5 different projects where all I want to work on just as much 😭

[remote trench]

Lmao I can imagine

[tight fractal]

we need that remote control to pause time

[remote trench]

Food Scraps update when?? I wanna make my vegan meat using banana peels

[tight fractal]

eventually, not a high priority at the moment ~ will be part of the trash update

but bulk packaging has to come before that, that's more important

[remote trench]

Not if I do it first I have a whole project related to trash stuff too lol

[tight fractal]

come work on the trash update with me then

[remote trench]

But yes, love the food containers stuff!!

[remote trench]

Ooooh that could be fun, I have a ton of trash ideas for food meant to use then to their fullest, skin, peels and all
And they would actually fit in really well with the dehydrator- Hear me out, Onion Skin Powder

[tight fractal]

I know, everything just falls into place so nicely

[remote trench]

Yessss! Cooking has a TON of stuff and ways that can be expanded lol

[tight fractal]

you can realistically make an entire update out of one simple idea, it's nuts how quickly it expands

[remote trench]

It really is

Have you started messing with liquid system yet?

They have a bunch of cool food and medicinal properties too

[tight fractal]

not for mixing, but have added some fluids

very basic stuff

[remote trench]

Hear me out- The Tea Update

[tight fractal]

I'm listening

[remote trench]

a whole bunch of different teas made from herbs with medical properties besides being locked into making just one single cup

Cough, pain relief, endurance recover

[tight fractal]

That would be great, a new item (tea pot) which is a requirement to brew the tea, different ingredients result in different types of tea, that have different benefits

[shut badger]

Yah this is a good idea, green tea with honey helped my most recent IRL cold greatly! Thanks for the mod, amazing!

[warm gazelle]

Ehy @tight fractal I was trying a new mod for butchering animals, it regards mostly about quantity and calories u can butcher from animals, it doesn't work with vfe. So I was wandering if u gonna adjust this aspect in the mod.

[tight fractal]

it'll have to be a specific compatibility patch to work together, what's it called? I can have a look into it

[warm gazelle]

the mod is called "irl Butchering" but i will suggest is better u do on vfe directly or just leave it, cause can be one of those mods that have high possibilities to be abandoned, also, the modder answer me back telling that he is gonna see if he can patch his mod to be compatible with vfe

[warm gazelle]

he fixed it

[tight fractal]

oh neat, I'll go check it out!

[warm gazelle]

@tight fractal https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3682035960

[tight fractal]

I should probably update this thread, since I've added in so much since my last update in here
First up, homemade beer! So you'll start out with some hops and barley in a pot, cook it down and set it aside in a jar for 7 days. Once fermented, you'll need to grab an empty beer bottle, a bottle cap (now given when opening beer bottles) and some sugar, seal it using the hand-operated press and wait another 5 days for it to carbonate. Proper distilery is a planned update way down the track, but this is just a nice addition in the meantime, since I was able to figure out a fermenting system that works really well.

[tight fractal]

Next up, homemade wine ~ a useful way to use up extra fruits! Combine fruit, sugar and yeast in a jar and let it sit for 14 days. Once fermented, it can be consumed right from the jar or sealed in a wine bottle with a cork using the hand-operated press. I'm still working out if I can add in bonus stats for the longer its aged.

Vinegar production, since it's such a vital resource to preserving food. You'll need to first create a vinegar starter using alchohol and vinegar in a jar, and let it ferment for 30 days. From there, it has 5 uses and remains fresh for 180 days.
Use the starter to create vinegar in 2 ways - combined and cooked with yeast will ferment faster in 30 days, whereas with alcohol will take longer at 90 days. The end result is homemade vinegar, which can be used to preserve food in jars, just be mindful to keep a little aside to restart another starter. It's a long process, designed towards mid-to-end gameplay where you're waiting for crops to grow, the idea is to balance it out around when you'll need it.

[tight fractal]

What would be the point of all these extra processes, if you were unable to make yeast? I've added in a fairly simple yeast production using sugar, water and fruit in a jar, that takes 5 days to ferment. You then have 3 uses for each jar, which can be kept alive and renewed by feeding it a little sugar and water every second day.
And while I'm here, I've also made a sourdough starter ~ same mechanics, different ingredients. Start by combining flour and water in a jar, with no need to ferment. Each jar has one use, which can be kept alive and renewed by feeding it a little flour and water every day.

You'll know what stage they are in and when they require feeding by looking at the item name.

[warm gazelle]

i was in debug mod and the root beer gave me an error

[tight fractal]

what was the error?

[warm gazelle]

ehm it give me an error when i place the root beer

after when i select it from the global container instead ogf giving me drink give me only equip primary or equip secondary

[tight fractal]

let me go have a look and see whats up with it, this happened with one spawned from debug?

[warm gazelle]

no

from regualr spawn

[tight fractal]

was it a bottle or can? I've debugged in both, no issues, just trying to find one actually in the world at the moment

[warm gazelle]

can

if it's me i'll try maybe some mods go in conflict with your

but about food i have only your, but i have also every vanilla missing item, maybe this one create problems

[tight fractal]

nah EMVSM goes fine with VFX, we work together so we made sure both were compatible in that regard

not that it would really cause issues, they just add in the missing static models

oh! got the error! right-clicking it when on the ground?

[warm gazelle]

yes!

when u try to click should give to u only equip primary and secondary

[tight fractal]

it's a vanilla behaviour with fluid containers tested on a save with no mods, exact same error
seems to happen with juice cartons, soda bottles, cans, glass bottles for spirits, beer and wine ~ the only one it doesn't seem to be happening with is the 1L water bottles

so it's happening with all fluid containers, VFX reuses a lot of vanilla fluid containers but it's still happening with VFX's new ones, having the item in your inventory doesn't give you issues, it's only when right-clicking on the fluid container when it's in the world, I'll go make a bug report for it

[warm gazelle]

Ehy pal everything ok?

[tight fractal]

all fine and dandy I just got back from being on holiday and started working on it again yesterday

[warm gazelle]

Wasn't about the mod, just didn't see any post, got worry a bit pal

[tight fractal]

Awh I appreciate it! I spent a week in rural Australia without reception and it was delightful, I guess I really needed the time away for a bit

[warm gazelle]

Wow, sounds amazing! I totally understand i do the same, here in ireland, it totally recharge my batteries!

[warm gazelle]

If u gonna trip.here pass from Galway I'll pay few pints 😉

[tight fractal]

honestly, I was surprised to not see a single thing that was trying to kill me, no snakes or scary spiders, camped next to a river known for crocs and didn't see any, not even a jellyfish on the beach known for it

[tight fractal]

I'll take you up on that offer one day!

I've had it for a while now but started adding pins from the country towns I visited along the way, this one is crocodile leather with croc teeth, as close to Dundee as you can get 🤭

[warm gazelle]

Oh my girlfriend could litteraly kill for something like that, she love leather and skulls

In the good way I mean XD

The beer and wine brewing/making will be amazing! We've missed it in B42 so far. Thanks for this mod it is much appreciated.

[tight fractal]

it's just simple homemade stuff so far, a proper brewing expansion is planned down the track but it'll be just enough to be fun and use up some ingredients

you're welcome
