Could you add compatibility with Vanilla Mechanoids Expanded to add automated chocolate production machines?

ok, so hear me out....craftable box of chocolates which can be given as gifts to significant others (lovers, spouses). Could use the 'operations' tab to assign a bill to the receiving pawn which is fulfilled by checking the relationship status of the giving pawn. The gift would provide a boost to the relationship opinion number buy some amount.

Will this be receiving an update to 1.1?

Same bug here as Other_Olly too

(When there is chocolate on my map, hauling work givers spit out errors about "object reference not set to an instance of an object.")

I'm having a problem where milk chocolate shows up in stockpile menus, but chocolate doesn't. I'm not sure what mod is causing it. Anybody have insights?

@CrunchyDuck - thanks but i like only having 1 type of wood, what i would really like is not having to continuously replant the cacao trees because it makes little sense

@Mr-Bandit A mod that might interest you, and one I personally use, is Expanded Woodworking
Namely because it adds in cocoa trees giving wood when harvested. It also makes each wood it's own "type" of wood, meaning you can have a much larger variety of colours and the like.

mr bandit, are you asking for wood :) hehe -joke

suggestion: change the way the cacao trees work so they do not get chopped down when harvested - just set back to 60% or so growth like berries bushes do. it seems dumb to cut down the whole tree every time - and it's a tree and you don't even get any wood from it!!

Oh, of course! I'm glad you like my work. Thank you for the patch!

Hey, love the mod my dude

I made a patch for my mod Soybeans so the milk produced in my mod can make chocolate with your mod . I was just wondering if you could add a little tag in your description saying our mods work together or something like that. Cheers

oh ok, thanks for the info :)

From what I know, it shouldn't impact that mod at all.
This directly touches the cocoa trees, and changes their resource in to something different. The bunbuns mod will likely just keep producing what it normally produces.
If you do find an error though, please let me know, and I'll fix it right away.

hi do you know if this will work with the "Chocolate" BunBuns mod? (that one adds bunny animals which make you 1 chocolate every few days.)

Thanks for this, the vanilla chocolate production cycle is kind of dumb \o/

Cool thanks!

Should hopefully; The only thing this really changes right now is adding an intermediary between harvest and usability. The final product is untouched.

WIll this work OK with the Coffee, Tea, and Hot Chocolate mod?

You'll likely get a bunch of def errors, which could cause a few issues.
You can remove them from your map in the dev console, using the "destroy tool"
Be careful not to click "destroy all on map"

Ty for update

I'll work on it right away.

can you update the mod pls? :) thanks

There is a fermenting helper mod that might be helpful:

That said, making production too complicated might annoy most people. Especially given the relatively small payoff for the work

I'm glad there's people who want it!
I'm working hard on trying to teach myself enough C# to be able to code such things. I plan on having a toggleable "hard mode" for those who're so inclined, that requires you to ferment the beans, all products have a bit of waste, etc. Hopefully I can implement such a thing soon! Till then, I hope you enjoy what I've currently added.

Nice, I always found it odd you could pick chocolate right off the tree.
Now, if you do make it more elaborate (adding nibs, adding fermentation...), it would be REALLY great if you added mod options like you suggested. That way, I can see this becoming the ultimate chocolate mod before long, with players able to choose how complicated they want to play it. :)

In response to SteveS, why not use the in game fermenting barrels for that process?

A future plan I do have could include that.
I wish to add in mod options to switch between a sort of more "hardcore" chocolate production, and to allow in game modification of recipes, stats, etc. But that's maybe a few weeks away, at best.

Thank you. Much needed.

If you wanted it to be perfectly realistic, beans would need to be fermented (they are just too bitter). But some simplification is fine. As long as you don't harvest chocolate directly from the tree I'm good

Rolled out a change to the production of milk chocolate. Hope it's a bit better now!

I had considered instead requiring a little less milk, but producing the same amount, or more, milk chocolate that it currently produces. I think it'd make sense for it to be valued at slightly less than normal chocolate, however, as it can be produced in much larger quantities. I'll look in to reviewing the value based on the cost of milk, though.

I think we should raise the value of milk chocolate a little bit. use eight more milk, but the price is the same.

Milk chocolate production's out. Enjoy~

Not all chocolate is milk chocolate but yeah good mod.

MMMmmmm ^^ Delicious...

Need milk into based recipe please

It always seemed odd that chocolate literally grew on trees. Thanks!

I'll look in to making cacao nibs soon. It's 5AM right now, so I need a nap :)

Pls gib tastee cacao nibs

I did consider a milk based recipe, but figured it might be too demanding to make in a large quantity. If my knowledge of modding expands, I'll absolutely add this as a Hugslib mod option though!

Should be milk+ cacao ;)
