Craftable Nutri-Rations (Lore and Vanilla friendly)

Description
I decided to make my own "ration crafting" mod, since I didn't feel like making the regular ration packs craftable was very interesting.

This mod includes a custom icon, and a custom model for the rations.

Research Requirements:
- Tech Level 5
- Must have researched Cooking & Baking

Materials needed for researching:
- 1x Ancient Nutri-Rations
- 1x Ai Core
- 2x Ancient Science Book

Crafting Recipe:
- 10x Hemp
- 8x Strawflour

- Use a Cooking Stove to craft the rations once you have completed the required research.

(More info about the item can be viewed in the screenshots above)

Other thoughts:

The Ancient Nutri-Rations description describes the item as a "Dense cake", thus I felt strawflour was a natural choice for an ingredient. Hemp seeds are also very nutritious, and the fats and oils within the seeds would aid in food preservation. Hemp can also be refined into linen and cellophane in the real world, which gives implication to it being used for the ration's wrap in-game.

I decided to make the ingredients different from the '1x Foodcude, 1x Dried meat' requirements listed for the regular ration packs, since it's goofy to me to think the first or second empire was smashing meat and foodcubes together in such a way that would allow them to be preserved for thousands of years.

I also believe the science requirements and negative profitability balance out the easily farmed ingredients.

Let me know if you have any issues, and I'll be sure to patch it up!

@Tweetus Here's a link to the previous icons I've used: https://imgur.com/a/nutri-rations-icons-kwp2FW5

You can change the in-game icon by renaming your preferred image file to "NutriRations", then replacing the existing image in the "icons" folder in the workshop downloads folder.
It should be steamapps -> workshop -> content -> 233860 -> 2912513147 -> icons

I tested it and didn't have any issues, even after downloading other workshop mods, and closing/reopening Kenshi.
If you uninstall then reinstall this mod, then you'll of course have to replace the image again.

Hope this helps!

The old inventory icons of course. It looked like a modern version of the ancient nutri-ration.

@Tweetus Do you mean the old inventory icon, or do you mean the default world model for ration packs when they're on the ground? If you prefer the default ration pack world model, then you would be able to edit the mod through the Kenshi modding tool and change the model back to default. If you prefer the old inventory icon, then I could send you the image file, that way you could change the icon through the modding tool as well.

I personally still really like the new model and icon I made, so I won't be changing them, but I absolutely encourage you to change the mod however you'd like!

Eh, I kind of liked the old model.

@Quilava lol, I agree that modding isn't easy. Wishing you good luck in Kenshi though! :cuphead:

Im such at modding so im gonna pass that, but i will try hydroponic farm, thank for the suggestion

@Quilava Hello! I'm glad you enjoy the mod despite the troubles you're having in-game. I'm happy with how the mod's balanced, but you're more than welcome to modify it however you'd like! It might take some time to learn how to use the mod tool, but it's not too hard

Here's a link on how to get my mod into your mod-editing directory:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/233860/discussions/3/1290691308585795729/

And here are a couple links to help you with using the mod editor. These helped me a lot:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1444279946
https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Introduction_to_Modding

Also, in-game, I would recommend setting up hydroponic farms, which don't require much space. You should be able to get all the materials you need with a simple hydroponic setup.

If you need any more help then feel free to message me! I could send you a buffed version of the mod, or help you with using the mod tool.

Thanks again for using the mod, and I hope this helps!

Could you buff the rations more like 200-300? The recipe kinna hard to make because it involve item from farming only, unlike the other can use meat, also since it fresh make rations, it should give more nutri than some thousand years old food

To balance it out you can make it auto craft only by some auto machine which require rare material like AI core to make, you know ... high tech stuff to squeeze out every bit of nutri and waste nothing in the process

Also it because im having hard time feeding large army, i want to keep my base small, but the farming area require to feed more ppl just too many
