It has been updated!

so many vanilla plates that this could be converted into... with 3d models already present :)

*Bump* - Would love to roll this out for our servers dude!

Fingers crossed you get some time to update

Uh? I thought plates weren't working at all, I'll see about a 3D model I can surely make a plate's 3d model.

bro just add it 3d model of any plate idk, and beter to give all plates this ability

I promise as soon as I hand in the work for my current contract, I'll find some time for this.

I'd also love an update to this... Taking turns eating from a ROASTING PAN of food with 3 other guys in Multiplayer breaks my immersion so hard....

thanks man i appreciate you reading my comment and taking the time to look into it. I know how life gets in the way of things

I'm sorry mate, it looks like the loot table names have changed and now it's not working as intended. As soon as I can spare some time I'll try to fix this, but I don't have a lot nowadays. Apologies.

would be cool if you could replace the default plates with these ones, because i have cleared 2 towns and not found a songle plate, I had to activate a cheat mod that spawns items in just to get one

is anyone finding the plates in the world? I'm not finding them

Thank you Sarconia, this was actually requested by our dedicated cook when we were playing. Cooking and cooks don't get enough love :)

thnx! that would be great as a main cook, this mod looks awesome

It used to work on multiplayer, I'm not entirely sure about the current build. When I get back into zomboid I'll probably correct the errors and revamp it a bit.

does this work on current build and on multiplayer?

I appreciate the answer! Life comes first :)

I'll keep an eye out for any upcoming updates!

Hi Hamatzu, unfortunately I am not keeping this up to date due to well, having no time. When I first made this I was like not really worried about money at all and not employed, literally made this because my sweetheart was like "I'm so fucking tired of being unable to cook because frying pans are plates"

HOWEVER, I probably will give it another look once we're all playing Zomboid again and I get more complaints, which should be soon haha

Thanks for the support, even though I'm sure this is not the answer you were looking for.

I think I might've came across a bug, I made a stirfy that had around -100 hunger. I ate 1/4 out of it straight out of the pan. But when I then put the whole meal on a wooden tray it got back to the original -100 hunger, as I would assume it would be -75 ish hunger instead.

Also, the food on the tray gets a "no experation date", shouldn't keep the fresh/rotten status even if it's plated or not?

Great mod btw, keep up the good work!
/Hamatzu

Oh the mod still works? nice.

Could you add the Stone hammer as usable tool to make the wooden trays? As well as the stone knife. Thanks

In theory you should have been able to split it into multiple plates, as long as you have more plates (of the same type currently)

But I'm not sure how well this fares with Build 41 at the moment :)

Can you split food that is on the cooking trays into smaller portions to put on the plates? Or you can only put the whole thing on a plate?

Alright, thanks

Correct. I don't think it'll be soon enough. I'll update it once it releases and fix all the bugs if they still are there

So to be clear, this is not ready for build 41.5 yet, correct?

no =( ... I only find paper plates, you can't split all dishes and sometimes eating it consumes the plate... I dunno... haven't used it in a while...

Oh hi Faltorn, does it still work? It had some bugs which weren't making things spawn properly and I haven't fixed them yet

Bump! I really like this mod...

Maybe. I actually am in touch with someone so I can get confirmation that the loot table is the issue.

ooo does that mean we're getting a pre-stable update? ( ･ ▿･)

It doesn't, but I found out what it was I think. The loot tables must have changed and the third line of the file which sets them up errors out, essentially making only one item exist (the ceramic plates I think) and only in one single type of container, making them much more of a lucky find.

it makes sense, yes ^^
someone said specific things, like inventory or UI won't change so much that it would break a mod that adds things like this - scripts, however, are very liable to break.
does your mod use any scripts?

So I am not entirely sure why compatibility was broken as I didn't expect the food system to change that much. But I suppose it does make sense for it to change. Now, I will eventually read up on it but to make this mod properly I had to decompile the game and look at how things were done just to make it as official as possible.

As you can imagine it's not viable for me to do this for IWBUMS as things are still possibly heavily subject to change.

ah yeah i saw that after i had already asked :D figured it was already too late lol
i wonder if it'll change a lot from now to then

Read underneath c:
I will update it when animations are in.

does this still work in b41? any news on an update otherwise?

RIP. I will update it once the build releases, I think.

I don't think so, unless the spawn rate is rare

Oh I have no clue. Maybe it works?

iwbums?

Thanks for the kind words, Chika.

This mod has given so much life to roleplay on zomboid. Thank you for making this.

Nevermind, removing your mod did not fix it. Well, it fixed it temporarily, but after any restart to the game, the menu dissapears again.

Hmm, not sure actually.

When I have this mod enabled, the options never show up on the main menu screen. Do you know where I could find a log to submit a bug report?

Eating from a plate would make me so happy.

Bowls don't really have bonus happiness if eating from them, so I kept to vanilla for that.

+ to the happinnes if eating from plates? Or no?
