FeralFracture: This mod doesn't show colorblind options for plated Mac and Cheese. I have a really hard time telling regular and egg Mac and Cheese apart. Could you add letters to those?

Great mod! I would love to see the inclusion of needing to add milk and butter at the powder cheese stage. More realistic.

@RavenFires that is exactly why I added colorblind options to the pots, portions, and plated items in my mod. I would highly recommend trying them out, they offer a lot of visual clarity. I tried my best to differentiate the colors, but I also don't want to change the colors to the point that the food items don't visually look like what they're supposed to be.I will experiment with more contrasting colors or visual indicators when I update it further with another ingredient. Ultimately I would like to ensure that using colorblind options aren't necessary, but at the moment they offer extra clarity that can prove to be useful in the fast setting of overtime.
I'm uncertain why you weren't able to make a franchise. I'm currently loaded down with university work, but once that eases up I intend to jump back into working on improving and adding more things to my mod at that time.

@samsonrules2020 I like this mod, but I really want a bigger color difference between egg mac and cheese and normal. Twice I've failed because the colors weren't big enough difference. Like even a bright orange ring around the outside for regular or something.

I got into overtime and told it to make it a franchise but it didn't. Not sure if that's a mod issue or a plateup issue.

Thanks for making this though. It's perfect if the colors were easier to tell apart!

Quick question,

Mac and Cheese reminds me of pizza, which serves 4 servings, why do variant mac and cheeses cause a reduction in groups, while variant pizza don't? I feel like the variants do not need a reduction in groups. Just an observation but seemed odd.

@SamsonRules2020 - Apparently there was an update to KitchenLib, and that was causing some issues for a few ppl on different mods. My maid outfit is now fixed, and I checked and I can now see water in the pot. I haven't tried slicing cooked hot dogs yet, but I assume that's probably fixed as well since my problems did not start until after that update yesterday.

I absolutely love difficulty like that, so I definitely appreciate it! I always choose Mac & Cheese, it's by far my favorite dish mod thus far! I think you're doing a fantastic job with it!

@DisabledShota - I'm glad you're enjoying my mod! :) With the addition of the egg, the various mac and cheese mixes you can make becomes quite numerous and can become difficult if you take the final upgrade card which allows customers to order a combination of the egg and hot dog ingredients in addition to everything else. (That card requires you to unlock both egg and hot dog mac and cheeses already, so players have the option to deny an extra variant instead of getting it all dropped on them at once). I also do intend to add one more possible option ingredient to the mix. If players choose to unlock all the ingredients, 'AND' then unlock all the combinations as servable dishes, that would result in a *lot* of dish options. It would definitely be quite the challenge I don't think I see people being able to realistically handle, but who knows, someone might be up to the challenge. That's a bit down the road though, in the meantime enjoy what I've got setup now. :)

@Boba - Are you running any other mods in conjunction to my own? Some other mods may override the the visuals (ie the water in the pot) if they also have a recipe that includes water in the pot and are also coded in correctly that they don't display the water properly in their own mod. Try unsubscribing and resubscribing to make sure you have the latest version. I haven't altered the recipes for things such as the hot dog cutting and from my own testing, I can create all potted mixes as intended. Make sure the hot dog is cooked before attempting to slice it. Do let me know if any issues continue to occur.

Version 0.3.3
-Added proper colorblind tags for the respective mixed pots, servings and plated servings were already properly labeled prior to this update.
-> MC
-> MCe
-> MCh
-> MChe

Due to requests for clarity with the mixed pots of mac and cheese, I created redundant models in the assets to allow for each completed pot to have proper colorblind labels. Prior, the colorblind labels only labeled the pots with what sauce they had. (Egg and cheese with MCE, or just cheese with MC regardless of added hot dog), My intentions weren't intuitive, so now with this update each pot should have proper colorblind tags depending on what ingredient was added.

I love the egg mac and cheese, we don't do it ourselves (we're going to try now though!) but I have a sort of obsession with eggs, so seeing this addition made me very happy!

Having issues with my mac n cheese run today suddenly. When adding water to a pot, no water visually shows up until macaroni is added. Also, cannot seem to slice hot dogs anymore, which kills the run. Lastly, somehow I made a mac and cheese + egg version, however, I don't have eggs in my kitchen or the recipe. I was confused until I read the new version update and realized MCE meant mac and cheese + egg

Version 0.3.2
-Adjusted Egg dishes and visuals of models
-> Instead of having eggs on the dish, the color of the noodles and sauce in egg dishes are a significantly lighter color.
-> Portions of egg based dishes (+ hot dog variant) are in circular cups while normal mac (+ hot dog variant) portions are in square cups.
-> Pots of normal mac and egg mac have colorblind tags to differentiate them. Likewise all plates and portions have specific colorblind tags for the specific type of dish. (It isn't possible to do the same with the pots ie egg and hot dog vs just egg, hence only having normal mac, and egg mac color blind tags for the pots of dishes.)

@love_bread - Make sure you're using the latest version. I caught that bug myself when I was play testing after I released the version 0.3.1 and fixed the issue in a quick update. You may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe to get the change.

@fireredlily - That may be a possibility. I have room for one more ingredient in the pot when adding ingredients before mixing it all together. I will likely have to add some markings or visual things to make the items visually distinct enough. (Ground beef would have a similar color to the hot dogs), But I like the idea. I was already considering adding ground beef as an item for another dish I was planning on making for a different mod. I think adding that as a 3rd optional ingredient can create a lot of chaos if someone choose to try and use all of them at once, but I like that idea.

This happens after getting a hot dog
Customer asked to add eggs
Add eggs as an additional ingredient
but i didn't get it :(

I'd kind of like to see cheeseburger mac as an option at some point, if possible (basically just adding cooked ground beef to it)

Version 0.3.1
- Add egg as an addition ingredient
- Added egg'ed mac and cheese as a dish card
- Added egg'ed mac and cheese with hot dog slices as a dish card
- Adjusted in-game models and colors for visual clarity

Via a friend's suggestion. I added an additional ingredient. Egg. Apparently people mix eggs into their mac and cheese? It supposedly makes the cheese thicker. Anyways. With the addition of the egg you can now create 4 dishes in this mod. Plated Mac, Plated Mac with hot dogs, Plated Mac with egg, and Plated Mac with egg and hot dogs. Each dish is unlocked via cards.

Version 0.2.2
-Added Ketchup as a menu option with the mac and cheese.


*replying to last comment*
No problem adding those tags in, I'm not too familiar with how they work in code but I'm glad what I added were helpful.

Awesome, thanks for the colorblind tags! I'm visually impaired and stuff like that helps a ton, especially in mid to late game when there are a bunch of dishes to keep track of.

Also the side dishes were showing up with the mac and cheese on a plate, I just hadn't played on the version which had that fixed before I commented.

awesome :D

Version 0.2.1
- Added chopped hot dogs in mac and cheese as a dish option.
- Added chop processes to cooked hot dogs
- Added some color blind tags.

As far as I can tell from my own testing. Sides should be appearing properly on both plated mac and plated mac with hot dogs. Likewise all items should properly store in prep stations that are intended to (all but the plated and potted items) and all items should properly store in freezers.
The mac and cheese with hotdogs card should only show up after having selected mac and cheese as the base dish.

I am currently working on adding sliced hot dogs as a topping. Once I finish that I will look into adding colorblind options. That is a part of modding code I am unfamiliar with currently, but I will attempt to do so. I also believed I had corrected the sides disappearing, but I will double check that.

I am the person Stygokraken is talking about, lol.

Love this mod.

My only suggestions would be if you could add colorblind options and also there seems to be a bug when adding side dishes to mac and cheese where the plated side dishes just show up as mac and chees, as if there is no side dish.

Glad to see this back. My spouse has been raving about it since last night, and was heartbroken to see it gone this morning before we could play together.

P.S I forgot to mention the bacon as a topping in my other post, I am greatly sorry.

Can we get a card to upgrade to normal Mac'n'Cheese with a cheese sauce?

@socerman Thank you for the feedback! I didn't realize I had forgot to make sure that the mod items all can store in prep stations/freezers. The items should all be able to be stored in the respective storage appliances for their sizes.

I love the kraft Dinner, Super fun, seems great.
Would love to put some of the moxed mac, (Kraft Dinner) into the prep station / frozen prep.

Thank you for the comment, I believe I have fixed it. I have tested multiple days doing mac and cheese as well as other foods as the menu option and I am not seeing it spawn daily anymore.

The blueprint for it shows up in the shop every single day without fail, even when you don't have it as a menu option.
