[Release] Vanilla Food Variety Expanded
Added 2024-09-20 10:44:44 +0000 UTCVanilla Food Variety Expanded is a lightweight mod that aims to add a little bit of depth to the colonists, and it does so by rewarding you for providing your colonists with decent food variety. After all, it feels a bit unnatural that your colonists are more than happy to consume rice simple meals for every meal of their life, forever.
Now, each colonist will remember a certain amount of meals they last consumed, as well as the ingredients of these meals. The more varied the meals and ingredients are, the happier your colonists will be. On the other hand, providing them only with one ingredient in the form of one meal, forever, will make them miserable.
Furthermore, each colonist now has a favourite meal or ingredient, which will count as two different meals/ingredients when consumed!
Unlike other similar mods, we do not patch the food searching job, which means it should have almost no effect on performance. As our mod takes the average of both meals consumed and ingredients consumed, there was no need to have the pawn look for specific meals to satisfy their variety - this will come naturally simply as they eat stuff.
Comments
After releasing this you should consider making change to nutrient paste expanded, it tracks every single ingredient and mixes them making nutrient paste healthy and varied meal

2024-10-10 13:56:15 +0000 UTCProbably not. We have a separate series of mods adding meal types called Vanilla Cooking Expanded. Those meals are quite universal and work in medieval setting.

2024-09-20 19:25:19 +0000 UTCThis is really neat mod! Might I ask. Are you planning on adding different meal types with Medieval 2?

2024-09-20 16:59:37 +0000 UTCAre #meals and #ingredients tracked separately? Or are you able to completely fulfill variety by having exclusively corn simple, fine, and lavish meals?

2024-09-20 16:46:33 +0000 UTCPawns pick a random close meal by default. We didnβt alter any food searching behavior.

2024-09-20 16:10:42 +0000 UTCThey will not but you can suggest to Sarg that they should!

2024-09-20 16:10:09 +0000 UTCWill traits like psychopath/gourmand effect these moods?

2024-09-20 15:39:36 +0000 UTCHm, I expected insanity to come out first. Well, might take this on and see what it gives.

2024-09-20 13:05:35 +0000 UTCSo, do I get this correctly: If I have fine veggie, fine bakes and fine carnie meals they will automatically vary them, or do I have to be on my pawns' butts to make them eat varied?

2024-09-20 12:00:04 +0000 UTCThis was the missing piece for my planned "haute-cuisine" restaurant playthrough. Thank you team !

2024-09-20 11:54:52 +0000 UTCYes of course!
Oskar Potocki
2024-09-20 11:30:52 +0000 UTCWill it work with the different meals in medieval overhaul?

2024-09-20 11:10:56 +0000 UTCThanks for not changing the food search job π Iβd rather micro-manage a bit (if even necessary), instead of tanking my fps
