Crickets [v1.2]

Description
Cricket Cultivation! - based on Universal Fermenter is a mod which allows you to create custom "waiting" production buildings in a style of the vanilla fermenting barrel.


Crickets allows for raising crickets as a meat source. You can choose between producing cricket jerkey, or cricket meat by clicking on the icon once a cricket box is constructed. Cricket meat is a meat source for making meals, etc.

Universal Ferementer, by Kubouch, is available here:

Update: Updated to support 1.1 (hopefully)
Update: Updated about.xml for new 1.0 syntax.
Update: (Hopefully) Fixed an exploit using cricket food to make cricket food.
Update: Custom Graphic for the cricket box. Pemmican as a product has been replaced by cricket jerkey. Cricket jerkey is basically the same as Pemmican except it spoils a bit faster. Please check your storage settings if updating or adding the mod to an existing save.
Update: Cricket Food will now categorize under RawFood.
Update: Corrected the texture glitch. Currently the Cricket Box should use the animal sleeping spot texture until I can create a custome texture.

The UF got updated and now your mod glitches my game when used together. Please update to work with the new version of the Universal Fermenter.

@SkyLarkBlue Screenshot added as well now, and I'll look into the dll conflict thing. It seems maybe all I need to do is rename the dll and that can stop conflicts. I don't run any of the conflicting mods, so I'll have to do a little research to verify if a conflict even exists.

Thank you for the response! I appreciate the information. Honestly the reason I don't mind insect meat is I've been using VCE to fry or can it, which removes the penalty. I can understand that wouldn't be a play style for every base. Thanks for the referral as well. Grub farming does seem to do what I need, although I'd prefer a separate item rather than using farm plot like that seems to do. I guess I'll play around with them and see what works.

@SkyLarkBlue. I'll look to add some screenshots, but this mod adds one building (the cricket box) and two types of meat. It adds a cricket jerky that can be eaten directly like Pemmican, or you can choose to have the box produce cricket meat, which can be used as an ingredient in cooking (or eaten in a pinch). The reason I didn't choose insect meat is because of the insect meat penalties. I suggest grub farming if you're looking to go that way. Cricket meat is meant to be a palatable version of "insect" meat when used as a cooking ingredient.

Crickets uses the Universal Fermenter dll underneath. So, if you are using another mod, with a different version of universal fermenter, this may conflict. I am not entirely sure on the conflict degree or exact trigger, so I'm a little in the dark about exactly the circumstances. I understood that UF was not updated, so if it is, I'll look into using that dll directly and that should prevent any mod conflicts.

I've been looking for a mod like this since meat is an issue in some bases, mostly for feeding animals. I have a few questions:
1: Can you put up so screenshots of what objects are added into the game?
2: Is this in conflict with other mods, such as UF? I see that in comments, but you also link the UF in the mod description, which is confusing as you have no mention of the conflict in the description.
3: Can you add an option to make crickets produce insect meat instead of a unique meat type?
Thank you for your time, hopefully you'll have time for a few quick answers here.

Yes, crickets will probably conflict with universal fermenter. They essentially use the same dll.

Well Iam using alot of mods, but I asumming the universal fermenter, and fermerter mod could be doing something?

Etherdreamer, what other mods are you running, if any?

The cricked boxes are not receiving the food for some reason the bottom for choice what to produce does not exist
