[DEVBLOG#33] Vanilla Cuisine Expanded - Meals (Patreon)

Hello everyone! I welcome thee, to the very fruit of my recent endeavors.

Me and Sarg have spent some time on the fishing mod which is scheduled for release soon. In the meantime, I was expanding on the idea of cuisine. 

Before we begin, let me provide you with some background.

The general idea for the mod is that it will be a series, similar in a lot of ways to our animal mods. You can subscribe to each component individually, or all together. Why? Because I will be adding my own crops, but you can opt out of them and use VGP or RimCuisine crops instead. Or none at all, in fact, as the base mod will operate only on what's in vanilla.

And the base mod is a structure upon which we will build. It will allow for new types of meals, with more information on them explained in the future. So far, I can show you how they look like!

These are bakes. Simple, Fine and Lavish bake. They require flour, a new item, to be produced. They are baked on a new cooking workbench. Good thing about them is that each recipe provides 2x the output. You're always making 2 meals at the price of one. They do however take longer to cook.

These are desserts. They are, again, crafted on a separate workbench. Cooked is probably the word I should use instead. Anyway, they require fruit to be made. Vanilla fruits include berries and berries alone, however as I stated before - it will accept any fruits from any other mod, including OUR own fruit module!

They are not considered a meal, and instead a social drug. People don't eat cake for breakfast, they eat it during their relax period.

These are soups. They are made on a new structure, working in the same fashion as a fermenting barrel - it's a slow cooking pot, you put ingredients in it, leave it to cook for 2 days and then collect 10-15 meals!

These are deep fried small meat, large meat and vegetables. Deep frying will be a mechanic extending the out-of-fridge lifespan of food, but it comes with a cost. Each time a pawn eats a deep fried meat, a small percentage of a new HIDDEN effect will be added called cholesterol. When it reaches dangerous levels it will become visible. If the pawn carries on feasting on these finger lickin' good meats and veg, there is a risk of a cardiac arrest and artery blockage. 

Yes, you can feed prisoners fried chicken to see them slowly dying :)

We also have a base support for our fishing mod - nothing better than a deep fried fish, am I right?

Please, let me know what you'd like to see added, and stay tuned for more information!
