Unfortunately that's not something I can really influence - effectively all this mod does is add additional 'recipes' in order to pack or unpack goods and food. Food which has incremental use is basically indistinguishable from food that doesn't for recipes, so preventing that would likely require actual scripting work which would mostly have the net result of not allowing any partially consumed ingredients to be packaged.

original Pantry packing mod has a dupping glitch where you can have infinite food, is there any way to patch it?

the glichs works because you can pack food like rice, chips or anything no matter how much nutrition left and whe you unpack it is 100% nutrition again

The base is things like missing vanilla items, so if you use mods from others in the available list, you'll likely want to also activate their corresponding smorgasbord sub-picks.

is the smorgasbord choice everything, or something else? i have selected sapphs cooking and smorgasbord

Not currently; since this doesn't utilize scripting any recipe / item support needs to be added manually, which can be fairly time consuming depending on how many items a given mod adds to the mix.

Does this work with Functional Appliances? That mod adds a bunch of new beverages that you can craft

There is coverage for Pomp's Items & Pomp's Items - Just the food already, more than likely those two mods updated with new item and food entries that haven't had packing recipes added yet.

Any plans to add compatability to "Pomp's Items - Just the Food" or just Pomp's item mod in general? :)

all good, i appreciate all you've already added for other mods for support, it's really nice

Hanabi's Sodas appears to already have recipes to pack up the sodas that it adds, I'll see about checking out Hanabi's Beers next time I poke around. I'm unlikely to tackle another big spread of food packing though, I haven't played Zomboid in a year and a half at this point and those mods are a big time sink.

i feel bad for making so many requests, but, any possibility of Hanabi's Beers/Hanabi's Drinks having support added? they're both variants of cans/bottles and feel like they'd fit nicely. maybe even hanabi's snacks but that's a much more varied mod

ok thanks! : D

It should if the item names are the same under the hood.

Will this mod work sith "Extra Books Plus" Instead of "Extra Books" It is basically the same mod just with some small changes...

O7 god bless

I went and confirmed Literacy Skill is Better Literacy again with all the same file structures, so technically just enabling PPA-Smorgasbord-BL fully covers the same new things - but for posterity I am uploading an update that has a distinct entry for Literacy Skill as well.

As far as packing is concerned though, those are the same mod, since the packing / unpacking recipes don't really care about any other mechanical changes, just whether or not the item names for the skill books were any different.

Well, it's a refresh / re-upload of Better Literacy which is what I originally supported, but it looks like that may have been pulled from the workshop so I'll need to update for it.

it's an entirely new mod literally just called Literacy Skill, was added in late January

I do have the original version supported, did the item names change or just the mod name? If the item names are the same the PPA-Smorgasbord-BL just needs to have the check renamed. I'll see if I can set aside some time to fire it up and compare the two for support.

it's been some time since this mod got any attention but, potential compatibility with the new sets from Literacy Skill? (unsure if the following link will be kept but ->) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3149853052

love this

Figured it was something like that. Similar to the issue on the other end, where it would be a pack of 6 but it doesn't matter if all 6 are full or not.

Ahhh that'll happen with consumables that have multiple uses, since it seems to translate and track them by quantity of uses, rather than container objects -- which is kind of a pain in the ass but essentially means they're not very viable for packing recipes because of what you describe happening.

Found a small bug. I collected 6 cans of protein powder but couldn't pack them. Looks at the recipe and it actually is requiring x30 to work. Similar with the evaporated milk from Sapph's aswell. Instead of 6 cans it actually is requiring 12.

It looks like when I go to box them up i have 3 options to box the books up.

iirc zomboid actually loads files alphabetically (bafflingly) but it's possible. I can't imagine what else would be fielding recipes with the same names, but that's also why it'd help if you could verify which books specifically you're experiencing this with -- because it it's the base game carpentry, etc. I don't interact with those at all in this mod.

I wonder if it's another book mod messing with the final code, should I maybe load your later and see if it overrides it?

That's possibly the case, I haven't changed anything with books recently for these -- if they're base game books and not mod books, they're handled by the actual Pantry Packing mod instead of this one. Basically every book unboxing recipe lists the full set of books for return though, so if none of your books are working there may be something broader going on.

@Gaist Heidegger it seems to be all of the books. Boxes, is there maybe incompatibility with other mods?

Could you be more specific as to which books, and possibly what mod they came from? I went and re-checked and the unboxing recipes should be scripting correctly to give a full set back.

for some reason when unboxing the skill books, it will only give back vol. 1

AFAIK you could see how many units 6 bags of flour would be and require that amount if you still want to do that.

Ahh nuts, that's bothersome -- there's only one item ID for flour, so that means it may just not be possible to include it with boxing. Removing the recipe will make it disappear flour folks have boxed though, a conundrum.

Hello, just wanted to report that the recent addition of box of bags of flour is using UNITS instead of BAGS making a player able to infinitely attain flour.

What I have in mind is that you pack multiple items into one. Maybe 10 of them or more become 1 box for example. This becomes very useful for the Inventory Tetris mod because you can fit 10 or more of them in a 4x4 square. Non-Inventory Tetris mod users can also benefit from the weight reduction.

Belatedly catching up on some stuff here, I've added recipes for a variety of base game alcohol per request, fixed the pop / diet pop mix-up and added a box of bags of flour for kicks.

I took a look at W Patrick's Skill Literature, but it appears to just be 3 book sets? I'm not sure there's a whole lot to be done with bundling packs of three, but possibly?

Will there be a support for W Patrick's Skill Literature?

Amazing mod! I love it a lot. Being able to pack Sapph's Cooking stuff is great.
Also, Normal pop turns into diet pop when packed (Might be a bug, but to me that's a feature).
Adding support to base game flour using the same system for Cans of evaporated milk or cooking oil would be a good addition too.
Keep up the good work!

I'll take a look at floor tiles for the next round-up, I'm afraid I can't do anything about the box model though - that's all entirely off the base Pantry Packing mod, so that mod would need to add other box sizes / shapes in order to do that.

Could you please add packages of Floor Tiles?
Yes, Flooring, which we remove from the ground, packages of 4/8/12 would be fine, it'd make sense for their box to be a little more square too.

Are they base game items, or mod ones? Do you have the names to the drinks so I can take a look?

the only thing thats missing now is those darn alcoholic drinks, theyre found in large numbers in liquor stores so they take up a bundle of space for a large number of identical things

I'll take a look and add them in when I can, thanks for the heads up.

i think you may have missed a few of the books of the newly added books mod, as they don't seem to have a recipe for boxing them up if i'm not missing it; for Aiming, Sneaking,Sprinting,Lightfoot, Maintenance

thank you so much.
yeah, the soulficher modset is i believe basically abandoned at this point, doubly so for the fact that many of the mods' functionality will be replaced by b42 additions, but i figure it was worth a shot for them.

Pushed an update correcting the orange soda issue (thanks again!) and added a module supporting More Skill Books (Heavily Nerfed) on request. I've already got a module for SoulFilcher's masonry books -- I took a look around and I am pretty sure the smithing mod is legacy / no longer maintained or supported, but if I overlooked it somehow let me know.

Thanks for the heads-up, I've corrected that for the next update! I'll see if I can set aside some time and cover some of those additional books.

There is a typo in the packing of Orange Sodas in the "PantryPacking-VanillaMIA"
item BoxOfOrangeSoda
{
Weight = 2.4,
Type = Normal,
DisplayName = Box of 6 Orange Soda,
Icon = JarBox,
SurvivalGear = TRUE,
WorldStaticModel = BoxOfJars,

}

recipe Box up Orange Soda
{
PopBottle=6,

Result: BoxOfOrangesoda ,
Time:20,

}

Makes the sodas dissapear

wishlisting that this skill book mod specifically https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2897083999&searchtext=skill+books and potentially also the books from SoulFilcher's Smithing/Masonry mods can have their own as well :') bless you for doing the good work

Better Sorting previously had baked-in Pantry Packing support, but I suspect what probably happened was the pivot to procedural categorization also meant it couldn't figure out what the pantry boxes were anymore and gave them generic item categories instead. I can put in a rider file with this to apply categories to those PP recipes as well if Better Sorting is detected, though it may or may not take if BS is actively as opposed to passively setting them as 'Item.'
