Better Animal Feeding

Description
Tired of feeding your animals all that nasty foul meat? well so was I!!

This adds 4 different craftable animal rations to the cooking stove:

- Poor animal ration (strawflour and raw foul meat), not very good but better than straight up raw foul meat, 25 NU.

- Fancy animal ration (strawflour and raw meat), for when you want to spoil them, 50 NU.

- Veggie animal ration (strawflour and cactus OR greenfruit), because sometimes you don't have or don't want to use meat at all, 35 NU.

They all come with a new level 2 research aptly named "Animal Rations", said research will also add a new storage building for the raw foul meat, to make cooking easier.

Misc changes:

- Made Animal feeder stack up to 4, just as the general food storage
- Made Animal feeder accept only raw meats, fishes and the rations
- Added Poor animal ration to the animal stuff vendor in cities
- Added the "Animal Ration Dispenser", which is the same as the feeder, but only holds the rations.

Also yeah I know this is silly and really not necessary, but I did it anyway!
Plus it makes so strawflour is usefull for more than just bread.

Enjoy.

yeah, unfortunately I don't have the research option (have a level 6 bench) and rations aren't for sale in the farm shop so it's like the mod didn't even enable, not sure why. it could possibly work on a new save, I just haven't tried that :)

but thanks for the fast reply! at some point when I make a new save I can let you know if it works there

You can't see a new research item added called "animal rations"?

It has been a long time since I even looked at this, I can't even run kenshi very well anymore since my GPU crapped out on me heh, all I have now is the IGPU.

Actually I don't even have the "source files" for the mod anymore, switched to linux a while back, forgot to back them up, I think I could download the workshop item and then open it up on the modding tool, not sure though.

Anyway it's nothing special really, just a few new food items for animals, and a few changes on the feeders to make it accept just them, I made it mainly because I was getting tired of my characters storing all sorts of food in the feeders.

You could make it very easily yourself, the tool is pretty self explanatory :)

Imma leave the mod unlisted for now, if more people say it doesn't work anymore I'll just delete it

I can't get the mod to work even after importing, any idea why? looks awesome :)

Do any of the feeders work indoors?

you just saved me thousands of cats by giving me a vegetarian option for my wee beasts.

I'll take a look, won't make any promises though, this mod is old and not that many people use it heh.

This is the first time I hear about UWE, seems pretty hefty, but the work involved in adding the extra stuff in a compatibility patch shouldn't be too bad.

I have been loving this so far. Anything that adds some depth to the world (in this sense cooking), is greatly appreciated.

If you know how, could you make a compatibility patch for UWE, so that multigrain, barley and other kinds of flour could be used as well, instead of just Strawflour?

wow that was fast :D thank you :) ill give you feedback if something makes problems :)
Gerustroncio  [author] 1 Feb, 2021 @ 2:24pm 
Done :), I added a new building called "Animal Ration Dispenser", which is the exact same as the feeder, but it only takes the rations, left the regular feeder as it was

Comes with the same research, I'm pretty sure it should work fine with existing saves.

Let me know if there are any problems.
