For those frustrated about the refill propane mod not working with this, I created my own that works: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3525252962

trying to make biogas, does the recipe only accept fresh stomped food mush? If so, can I do anything with rotten food mush? (41 ver)

Do the Ethanol barrels that are Brew Ready despawn if you don't take it using the bottles?

I think we have this problem quite often and the problem is you need either more meat or more salt or something. Usually it's just that we have not enough of 1 ingredient. It takes a full item of salt and I believe large chunks of meat

So yeah, it's been a while since the last update. But I certainly hope a fix or patch for the general recipe > refill propane will be released. since it causes errors due to it needing "propane tanks" instead of "empty propane tanks"

Heyo need some help, so I have already found and read the magazine for food preservation and Ive already crafted the can sealer, and canned vegetables but I cant seem to can meat for some reason? I have everything required for crafting but it doesnt let me click craft. Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: Noticed its doing the same thing for tallow.

The mod works fine but we deleted it after a while from our server.
We wanted a really hard survival experience with insanely rare resources but this mod spawns literally thousand units in every building. It feels more like cheating than survival. :/

"You can empty all cans(Vanilla too) from food(Even rotten)."
Do you mean Jars?

hi john, i found some code in the mod for it, and it seems that you can make it once you have these, but that you might need to find a mag or something to learn the recipe:

recipe Create Can Sealer
{
ScrapMetal = 1,
MetalPipe = 1,
BlowTorch=5,
keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.WeldingMask],

Category:Welding,
Result:CanSealer = 1,
Time:400.0,
SkillRequired:MetalWelding=5,
NeedToBeLearn:true,
}

Anybody know where to find the can sealer?Ive not managed to find it for a very long time now and I can't seem to find the recipe either.

When it comes to items identified as food, "Units" are the "Hunger" reduction you would get from consuming that food.

So Smushed food for Biogas for example takes 100 units and provides 2 hunger each, and so you would need 50x fresh ones.
Thomas de Torquemada 13 Dec, 2024 @ 2:01pm 
"Okay, how much friggin ethanol wort do you actually need?? It says 100 units. I made several ethanol wort and yet for some reason, in the crafting menu for making ethanol brew, it never says I have enough"

I tested it and it looks like you need 50 ethanol wort items (each has 2 units). But it will look gray in the crafting menu, which is confusing - make sure you have everything else needed (enough water, yeast etc.) and then you should be able to craft it once you get 50 ethanol wort items. Same logic applies to vinegar wort - it says 50 units, meaning 25 items, and it will always look like you don't have enough unless you also have everything else you need.

hi it might be this:
recipe Make Wooden Barrel
{
LeatherStrips=20,
Wire=10,
Plank=10,
keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer],
Result:WoodenBarrel,

but you might need to right-click on the wire when you have all the items?
Marcelo Gallardo 8 Dec, 2024 @ 8:28am 
How do you craft barrels? I have found the brew for dummies recipe but i cant craft the barrel through the carpentry menu or crafting.
dabeek 3 Dec, 2024 @ 3:48pm 
Absolutely terrible mod design. The calorie values are all over the goddamn place, the items don't have 3d models (although admittedly that is a nitpick), the crafting recipes make zero sense, there's so many exceptions to the crafting recipes that aren't explained, there's so many intermediate items that don't need to exist, and the mod author doesn't communicate with his community.
ChiefMateDuff 3 Dec, 2024 @ 5:53am 
Hello, i love this immersive mod but, i have noticed something that quite ruin my survival playthrough, i like to play with insanely rare loot, since this mod override all food items of the vanilla, even in insanely rare settings, i keep finding a huuuge amount of cans in every houses. So i wonder if you could ajust the settings to match the sandbox customization ?

It would be so nice

Love the mod by the way and thanks for your hardwork

Jars very much do not last a whole year, I'm only getting ~30 days with just this mod alone.

How much fish do I need to smoke? do I need to read a magazine? I have a bunch of fish and a fire.
Liberty or Ded 9 Nov, 2024 @ 10:49pm 
Okay, how much friggin ethanol wort do you actually need?? It says 100 units. I made several ethanol wort and yet for some reason, in the crafting menu for making ethanol brew, it never says I have enough. Just to test, I cheated 100 ethanol wort and the "required" thing for ethanol wort is STILL greyed out as if I have none at all. What gives?
pgames-food 8 Nov, 2024 @ 9:55am 
ah ok, yeah i like the mod, maybe spoon is bit busy atm,
(btw its good that evaporated milk has less calories irl, because thats what im going to be eating with me christmas puddings next month) :lunar2019grinningpig:
retr0l0gy 8 Nov, 2024 @ 7:03am 
its a good mod, just wish it was maintained and fixed.
retr0l0gy 8 Nov, 2024 @ 7:03am 
nah its evaporated milk. could be called condensed milk in files though. but irl evaporated milk is around 300-500 calories. and even if it was condensed milk, thats only 1000-1200 calories irl. my point is that the caloric counts in this mod make no sense. its not really an issue for me anymore since i uninstalled the mod because of this.
pgames-food 7 Nov, 2024 @ 8:25pm 
hi the item i think is condensed milk
Icon = CannedCondensedMilk_Open,
i think that does have alot of calories due to all the sugar though
retr0l0gy 7 Nov, 2024 @ 6:35am 
also creator was high when making this. There is not goddamn 2000 calories in a single can of evaporated milk.
retr0l0gy 7 Nov, 2024 @ 6:34am 
@Aurora Cryptid. Could you link some?

just steer clear of the obvious mistakes he's made
charon 5 Oct, 2024 @ 11:24am 
Incredibly weird and terrible mod. You can turn Red Licorice which has 22 calories into 5 Brown Sugars, which are 1500 Calories each- And this isn't the only recipe like this. The dude who made this is on some shit.
Helios 2 Oct, 2024 @ 5:46am 
I have trouble preparing soap and Tallow using fish fillet it seems the units on fish fillet are not calculated right everything is white in recipe but i cant start crafting would it be possible to add smoke preparation fish to the cooking recipe so you first combine the fish fillet ?
Helios 2 Oct, 2024 @ 5:02am 
Would it be possible to add pemmican as recipe since we have tallow you could mix tallow with meat and maybe berrys/strawberrys?
cnelson.5313 29 Sep, 2024 @ 5:56pm 
It's been longer than 15 days and my ethanol brew won't finish...
LikeABith 24 Sep, 2024 @ 5:00pm 
Smoking/salting meat makes zero sense and the instructions aren't helpful. Anybody have a better explanation, or even a video on how to do it?
Rootner1007 24 Sep, 2024 @ 6:41am 
@simcye it is currently bugged. The recipe calls for "Rock Salt" but the item you get from foraging is "Salt Rock" making it impossible to turn into salt.
pgames-food 21 Sep, 2024 @ 7:33pm 
hi it looks like you need this:
recipe Stomp Salt Rocks to Salt
SaltRock=10,
keep RippedSheets=5,
keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer]/Log/MetalBar/HandAxe/Crowbar/Axe/WoodAxe,
simcye 21 Sep, 2024 @ 11:00am 
how the hell do you turn salt rocks into salt it says "stomp" but there's no way to do that
pgames-food 7 Sep, 2024 @ 9:06pm 
ah i think regular salt rock is found from foraging in this mod, and the other mod can allow actual deep foraging for salt mines, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2963057869
but i think regular salt should work too - what if you try searching more houses for salt (or add a trading mod to let you buy some and then try rightclicking on a meat to start off the evolved recipe chain? fingers crossed it might work for you :)
Cuheru 7 Sep, 2024 @ 6:43pm 
I have figured out the sweet juice, still no luck with finding salt.
Cuheru 7 Sep, 2024 @ 7:07am 
Additionally, which 'certain veggies' can be stomped into sweet juice?
Cuheru 7 Sep, 2024 @ 7:02am 
Any suggestions on how best to find the 'foragable salt rocks'? I've been foraging in the listed biomes, sometimes focusing on stones(though I am unsure if the salt rocks count as stone) long enough to go from Foraging 3 to Foraging 6 and haven't found a single grain of salt. Really need some to continue canning my meat surplus for winter.
pgames-food 6 Sep, 2024 @ 6:14pm 
i think you have to make vineger wort, then vinegar brew, and then when the brew is ready it needs an empty bottle (done from floor as far as i can see in the script called spoonpreserve_main.txt
pgames-food 6 Sep, 2024 @ 6:09pm 
hi i havent tried making that yet but if you have the Craft Helper mod (i think the one labelled no lag), does it show you the exact recipe there? (usually i right-click on most items, and select craft helper, and it shows me all the things that could be done with it and it helps me with most recipes - apart from some of the evolved recipes for cooking where in recent times it always shows a massive list of cooking variables)
+; Thriftworks 6 Sep, 2024 @ 11:16am 
Does the barrel need to be in the main inventory? Or on the floor? I tried both ways, I click on the barrel and it doesn't give me the option to do it.
+; Thriftworks 6 Sep, 2024 @ 11:15am 
Guys, someone help pls. I can't make the vinegar. I have the barrel, the vegetables, the sugar. But it doesn't give me the option to do so. Any tips?
