[2.9.9.10] Food Pickling Mod

[kinyoshi]

DON'T READ THIS SPOILER

For those who are wondering what I'm working on, and why I have been so quiet lately...

Food, Glorious Food...

 

This Food Pickling Mod would technically be considered a demo....

• Includes a lightweight spice-bag that spawns in the world.
• Many new items to loot, including spices, food and jars.
• Spices are very lightweight so they don't take up too much space.
• Straight forward vanilla-like and realistic recipes and ingredient lists.
• Recipes are based off of real life pickling recipes.
• Now you can pickle almost every food item, even some new items.
• GET SOME!!!! (you'll get it...)

Okay so I know the brine should be cook-able, but I can't carry the cooked tag over to require it, so right now the brine isn't needed to be cooked, not yet, soon.

 

Most of the pickled foods have the same nutritional values. This will be changed, some day.

 

And yes, I know some of the textures don't make sense, reusing vanilla textures for now.

 

Some stuff may be needed to be tweaked, let me know.

 

You might want to use Craft Helper Mod to look at recipes.

*BUG* The Craft Helper Book pop-up with all the recipes bogs down from all of the recipes.

If you put all your spices in your main inventory, it will make this all a-lot easier.

 

Use a Pot of Water to make the brine, bowls for the starters.

 

How to make a brine starter:

Get a bowl and the needed spices, craft with one of the spices or the bowl to get available brine starter recipes. Some brine starters have more than one step but are not labeled as such, they are only labeled "unfinished". The recipes in-game are based off of real life recipes, which I'm not sharing (I'm far too lazy to do things like that), so think real life and you got it, just tap it in, tap tap tap-a-roo, you're doing great....

 

How to make a completed brine:

Get an empty pot and fill it with water, then get the vinegar of choice for the recipe of what your making. Different types of vinegar makes different types of brines. With the exception of the thin brine and a few others, you always need a brine starter to make brines. Some brines need vegetables like onions or extra spices. Some brines need the Kitten knife. Brines have twenty-four (24) uses, just like the pot of water.

 

How to measure with mason jars:

Filling small and large jars takes different amount of brine. the small jars are one (1) pint and the large jars are two (2) pints. It takes two brine uses to fill up one small jar, four brine uses to fill up large jars. One pot of brine will fill twelve small jars or six large jars. You can dump out left-over brines and starters.

 

How to pickle stuff:

Get your brine(s) together with your mason jars, sometimes needed extra spice or onions or other needed item. You are also going to need a Kitten knife and the item or items you are pickling. Each recipe is different on the amount of items you need, for example the candied ginger only uses a small amount of fresh ginger because you are chopping off small pieces. Pickles of course are going to require less cucumbers. Some pickled jars have more pickled items in it than you used for the recipe, this is because you sliced or chopped it up into small pieces, like the ginger.

 

How to eat pickled food:

Get your Jar of pickled food in your inventory, then use the menu to Get Some ***, then the pickled item is in your inventory available to eat or whatever you want, as long as it gets in your body, somehow... Once you have gotten all your some, the jar will become empty. You can then either drink the left-over pickled juice or dump it out, it is recommended you drink it, because your thirst it will quench, plus it will make you happy and reduce boredom. After drinking or dumping the juice, you will get the empty jar back, which can be then used again for pickling or filled with water.

More spices, foods (some will be a separate mod), brines, pickled items and boredom reducers.

Adding in suggestions. (Still need some of these)

Some fixes.

 

Upcoming(Later):

Better nutritional values for pickled foods to match brine qualities.

Cookable brines.

 

SOME SCREENSHOTS AND RECIPES:

 

• Some fun things to reduce boredom at cost of happiness or thirst, or both are fish sauce and red chili peppers.

• Brown sugar can be used in place of sugar and it uses a-lot less.

• You can re-use vinegar bottles for water, just like mason jars.

• The spice-bag makes two pounds of spices weigh only one pound. (changing soon though)
