Food Canning Mod

 

 

Overview:

 

This mod offers a method to preserve your crops by making and canning soup (pasturization). Soup can either be canned in empty tin cans, empty bottles or mason jars.

 

Current Features:

  • Ability to can Tasty/Hearty/Complex soups using just a pot
  • 1 Pot of Tasty/Hearty/Complex soup will require 4 bottles/cans/jars
  • Obtain empty cans from current items (Tuna/Beans/Soup/Dog Food)
  • Canning soup using empty cans will have an expirary date (maybe 1-2 months, because realistically you can't reseal tin cans)
  • Canning soup using Mason Jars (must be found) will have last indefinitely
  • The created canned soup can be eaten straight from the can without cooking
  • Cooked canned soup will decrease boredom/unhappiness more than eating it uncooked
  • Cooked canned soup will offer some hydration as well

 

  • Fully compatible with other mods
  • Should be compatible with 2.9.9.x (currently testing on Alpha 21 latest)

Planned Features:

  • More realism, I'm considering adding a pressure cooker
  • Considering if using empty cans should require candles to make a sort of DIY seal out of wax
  • More cannable items
  • Empty can item distribution

 

 

 

 

Let me know if you have any suggestions or comments.

My suggestion: A special can opener! My sister has a special can opener to reseal cans. So one side of the opener opens the can and the other bead over the can-edge. Hope you get what I mean :oops:

That's actually a really good solution, I'll probably implement this idea. Although it would require you to scavenge for the can sealer before being able to actually preserve food.

 

I'm not sure if you can spawn new items in an existing save. Currently my mod can be using with existing saves because you can yield cans from existing canned food in the game.
