Is there a list of ini configs? Btw I absolutely love all your mods. They each bring something unique and special to ark. I love using most in conjuction. Just need the inis please.

I will only use the blacksmith, the storage, the one for wounds and I think the one for fertilizers
Beardo  [author] 15 May, 2022 @ 8:05pm 
You can use them separately or in any combination you like.

Hey, can the mods be used separately or do I have to have them all together?
JackGenesisX 15 May, 2022 @ 9:28am 
I found some bugs that has to do with the stack of materials such as cooked fish
JackGenesisX 14 May, 2022 @ 5:56pm 
Or do they have any better benefit than the vanilla ones?
JackGenesisX 14 May, 2022 @ 5:55pm 
all these meats have the same level of food as vanilla?
Beardo  [author] 10 May, 2022 @ 7:50pm 
The Culinary mod is about human food, not dino food. Most of it dinos can't eat and if they can, the will not get any food value from it.
The foods like smoked meat can be eaten by dinos, It has the same food values as vanilla meat, only it last longer.
JackGenesisX 10 May, 2022 @ 1:19pm 
these foods can be eaten by dinosaurs and how much food would you give a daeodon?

I see that there is an .ini config option to turn off the survival food de-buff. Thank you for that!

@EndingEcho Thanks, Discord link has been updated.
Cryptic 27 Jul, 2021 @ 6:11am 
Could the discord link be updated? That one is expired
JimboBlade 25 Apr, 2021 @ 5:39am 
Thanks for the reply. I look forward to seeing how this mod matures.
Beardo  [author] 25 Apr, 2021 @ 2:34am 
@JimboBlade Taming should work as normal with Tainted meat and Quality meat.
There is an updated be worked on currently that will adjust how this system works as I will be removing the tainted meat and returning the base foods back to vanilla items. (this is to improve compatibility with other mods)
As part of this there will be a new food system being introduced, this will not be the same as Survival Plus used, and will not deal with nutrition and vitamins, but will look at more Survival foods vs Comfort and Social foods.
For more information on what I am working on, come join our discord.

Thanks for the mod! I have a question and a request. First, does this mod effect taming at all? Will dinos being tamed eat tainted meat the same way they would raw meat and will dinos that prefer prime meat for taming get the same taming increase from eating lean meat?

Lastly, it seems that I missed the boat for the Survival Plus mod, do you think you will be implementing a nutrition system in the mod? Survival Plus has different categories of nutrients that came from different food types and prepared meals. There was a few stages of balance for diet with debuffs for stages of malnutrition.

@Beardo
That sounds wonderful! The server I'm currently playing on is an RP medieval style one set on the GoT mod map. We use both the Kanga Culinary & Economy mods of yours and so far they've been very awesome! Glad to hear an update is coming and I look forward too it! Great job on the mod, you're amazing! :D ♥
Beardo  [author] 4 Apr, 2021 @ 4:16pm 
@Fawn I am working on a large update for this mod at the moment, one of the things I am adjusting is the spoil timer and preservation system. This mod is designed to work with the rest of the Kanga mods and that will include some profession based systems. For that reason most items can't be stacked as they contain unique data. The newly implemented preservation system however should allow for the bulk crafting and storage as the timer in a preserving bin will be many real days.
Join our discord for more info on the update and what that will involve.
Fawn 4 Apr, 2021 @ 1:00am 
The server I play on uses this mod and I quite enjoy it so far, the only thing I'm curious about as I don't know if this was an error or not but some of the meals do not stack. The Burgoo and Stroganoff for example do not stack which makes it pointless to craft more than 1 at a time because even if you store them in a preserving bin or something they'll all spoil at the same time and take up more room.
Dear Beardo was this meant to be a feature or perhaps, if not, this is something that can be fixed?
Beardo  [author] 5 Jan, 2021 @ 3:52am 
@Rebelstiltskin Try using cooked fish meat or jerky, they both should.
Rebelstiltskin 3 Jan, 2021 @ 8:39am 
the cooked meat doesnt work for kibble anymore

3rd negative point. I know it's a beta but sometimes this mod you can put it in 3rd or 6th place on your list of mods. It loads very poorly and will only work 30% -70%. So for it to be completely functional you have to start 3-4 times your game and take a test. 4th point which I find ridiculous. Knowing that I have a stack mod. Kanga will make him bug the stack mods example: he will stack your berries by 100 and the meat by 10 each time which is very bulky XD!

I think I made the point otherwise the mod has a lot of potential but it is not for nothing that it is in beta but I already give my opinion on it because I hope it will evolve and if my comment little help improve the mod. It offers a lot of varieties of new workshops (cooking) various ways of eating which makes the gameplay a little more diverse. Otherwise good mod but it is a beta and needs to be stackable and compatible.

Good job if:winter2019surprisedyul:
Re-lKamiiiko 13 May, 2020 @ 1:54pm 
I will post my opinion since I tried my mod and I got no answer. Negative: I had to remove it cuz quite simply it was impossible for me to unlock engrams (S+ structures etc.) because of this mod
once this mod removed from my part everything worked.
Besides, if you remove this mod from your game you will lose all that is berries, vegetables and meats (except that of fishmeat). So those who have large pens prepare fishmeat in advance to put them in your feeders. For herbivores apart from quickly redoing a berry crop after removing the mod there is no solution.

2nd negative point I find personally. There's no more vanilla meat but we have tainted meat that we can't eat (which I think is great since it makes the gameplay more varied) or dinos can eat it. So to eat it we should disinfect it or something else but the negative point is that we have no explanation for that and for other items which is a shame ...
Re-lKamiiiko 11 May, 2020 @ 4:44am 
Stackable mod cuz i have +/- mods in my game lol x) ^^ Thanks to advance
Beardo  [author] 7 May, 2020 @ 8:53pm 
Yes it should work fine them.
Harshmellow 7 May, 2020 @ 12:46pm 
Is this mod compatible with mods that add or remap dinos? Would they still drop/eat the appropriate meats?
