Pemmican Reborn

Description
Pemmican out of anything (Food-like)!

In the vanilla game, crafting pemmican requires equal parts meat and vegetables. This mod introduces plain pemmican allowing you to use strictly vegetables, strictly meat, or any combination thereof when preparing pemmican through the bill menu.

This addition reflects the diverse ways pemmican has been prepared historically, offering more flexibility in your colony's food production.

Cultural Note: Pemmican is a traditional food created by Indigenous peoples of North America. Traditionally made with dried meat and fat, variations have included different ingredients based on availability.

For those interested in vegetarian alternatives, here is a source on vegetarian-like pemmican[www.nrcnaa.org], where animal fats can be replaced with plant-based options like nut butters or olive oil.

Creating a meat-based pemmican remains true to its origins, and adding ingredients like berries and roots is a common practice.

Compatibility
Currently, there are no compatibility issues. However, if you come across a mod that adds a table or workstation that produces the original pemmican but not the plain version, please let me know the specific mod. I’ll likely be able to add compatibility for it.

Updated to 1.6! :Duckie: Also I finally added some preliminary compatibility to that Stone Oven @Blaxpear ... 6 months late. Sorry. :BEgloomy:

The "tribal essentials reborn" mod adds a stone oven to the game, and I would love it if you could add support for that!

Pemmican is a survival food, it wasn't made to be delicious lol!

As for the shelf life of a veggy Pemmican? Probably roughly the same as regular stuff. Fat is fat and it doesn't matter if it's derived from animal or plant.

Generally the reason why Pemmican is traditionally made from meat and animal lard + plants was because of availability.

It's not like at the time when Pemmican would have seen active use oil was is such large supplies that it would have been "wasted" on food where hunting and gathering was the main source of food for people.

Basically this is just a "just outside of historic" reason to be able to make Pemmican from plants when realistically people would have just made Bannock or hardtack instead.

Excellent! I believe that makes the mod better overall. Thank you for considering it!

@Moxie I’ve reworked the mod’s functionality to add a 'plain' pemmican recipe (where 'plain' means it’s made from either all meat or all veggies). This recipe unlocks with pemmican research, just like the original. Now, you have the option to make either the classic 50/50 split pemmican or the one-ingredient version.

Something like that. I think it has practical use.
Unon  [author] 22 Oct, 2024 @ 6:31am 
@Moxie Ah, I see, you want to basically have the original recipe as well as the new recipe?
Moxie 21 Oct, 2024 @ 6:47pm 
Correct, I can. However, if I wanted to use both meat and vegetables, that isn't up to me.
