Tea Curing (Patreon)

So all the stuff I made is uploaded a little differently this time, it's one large file that includes everything listed below. Later when it's ready for Pre-Release I'll separate everything so you can pick and chose what you want but everything is so interrelated it's going to take me a while to prep all the files. I know I listed all the items in my WIP Update post but I'm going to list them here as well in case someone missed it.

I've included the most updated versions of the Mill Appliance file and the Cookbook file which you'll need for these to work. You'll need the XmlInjector installed for teas to show up on the Teamaker.

Tea Curing

The first part to the whole process is curing tea leaves! You can find the recipe in the new category 'Curing and Preserving' in the Cookbook or by clicking on the Curing Shelves.

• The recipe will give you a curing rack with tea on it which is ready to be cured.
• There is a recipe included for the woodworking bench that allows you to craft the curing rack since it's an ingredient for the Tea Curing Rack recipe.
• Tea leaves on  the rack will only start to cure in the right environment; on a designated curing shelf or outside in warm or hotter weather (requires Seasons).
• The rack will cure the tea leaves into different types over time; White at 12 hours, Green at 24 hours, Oolong at 2 days, and Black at 4 days. The leaves will change color when they are in a new cure state and you can hover over the rack to find out what you will collect from it.
• Curing will continue automatically so if you don't collect or store the rack at the right time that white tea you were planning on may end up being Oolong! This means the tea leaves on the rack are also susceptible to spoiling...
• The Tea Curing Rack will spoil in the following situations: the freshness timer runs out, it cures for longer than 8 days, or the rack is outside and not under cover when it starts raining (requires Seasons).
• When the Tea Curing Rack looks like it's ready you can click on it and collect the leaves into a basket which can be used on the mill to make tea. There's a chance you'll get a Curing Rack back after collecting the tea leaves, but it might break instead and you'll end up with a piece of wood.
• Collecting the tea leaves from a rack will add a basket of those tea leaves to your inventory which can be used as an ingredient for tea recipes on the mill.

If you don't have Seasons the only way to cure tea leaves is by placing them on the Curing Shelf. The tea curing process needs and comes with the following items: 

• Curing Shelf (find in Surfaces > Display)
• Curing Rack Woodworking Recipe
• Tea Curing Rack Recipe
• Basket of Cured White Tea Leaves
• Basket of Cured Green Tea Leaves
• Basket of Cured Oolong Tea Leaves
• Basket of Cured Black Tea Leaves

Milling Recipes

These aren't really different from any other milling recipes. I've included all the tea recipes in the 'Herbs & Spices' section but will likely add a section specifically for it in the future.

• Black Tea Recipe
• Earl Grey Tea Recipe
• Green Tea Recipe
• Lavender Earl Grey Tea Recipe
• Oolong Tea Recipe
• Rose Congou Tea Recipe
• White Tea Recipe

Teapot

This teapot functions like a drink tray and there are 2 options, you can 'Make' tea which uses ingredients at no cost, or you can 'Serve' tea and just pay to stock the tray. 

Tea Recipes

These recipes can be created on the new teapot or they can be made on the Teamaker if you have the XmlInjector Installed. I also added 2 lactose free versions right before I posted this. 😁

• Black Tea
• Chamomile Tea
• Earl Grey Tea
• English Breakfast tea
• Lactose Free English Breakfast tea
• Green Tea
• Irish Breakfast Tea
• Lactose Free Irish Breakfast Tea
• Lavender Earl Grey Tea
• Oolong Tea
• Rose Congou Tea
• White Tea

I think that's everything but if I missed something let me know. I hope you all enjoy!
