so ocarina this mod can work in new dlc?

- Removed requiredGiverWorkType from recipes, turns out that prevented crafting these at a crafting spot. Oops :)

@5150 - It's tricky really, because I've noticed that sometimes the salt mood buff doesn't activate when it should, on both preserved food and preserved meals. I also don't want to make the ingredient for it a simple meal, because that wouldn't work well with any mod that adds food variety needs (ingredients only go one layer deep) and because it just feels a little weird to do.

How about changing the ingredient for Preserved Meal to Simple Meal? Currently, Preserved Meal includes salt as an ingredient and has its own mood debuff, but salt also provides a mood buff. I think it would be better to remove salt from the ingredients entirely.

- Added preserved meals
- Added two new taste thoughts, one for preserved food, and the other for preserved meals
- Fixed recipe base lacking requiredGiverWorkType
- Fixed preserved food preferability, now pawns will choose to eat the better preserved food instead of the raw meat laying on the floor (but still, of course, prefer meals)
- Fixed item descriptions
- Removed redundant code

Yes brother it is also over powered to cook food

Fellas, it is over powered to *checks notes* store food like we've done for centuries. Been wanting something like this outside of the standard "survival meal" for a while

Update
- Preserved fruit is now categorized under PlantFoodRaw.

@5150 - Initially, yes, since RimWorld has no vanilla thingCategory for fruits. However, since you commented that, I realized they probably aren't showing up in the item list on the left, so I'm going to push an update here in a minute to make them appear under PlantFoodRaw.

Did you intentionally leave out thingCategories in the OCARINA_PreservedFruit def? I'm just curious.

@Lambda - Maybe a little bit, but I would not consider these to be a trade good.

Is it profitable to sell the preserved foods?

You're welcome :D

I played yesterday - works great now, TYSM <3

@Xyllisa Meem Paradox Station - Not sure entirely what you mean.

Sorry, What recipe does this use to preserve stuff? Salt?

Update
- Preservatives should no longer be categorized into the meals category.

@ocarina - Yeah, it's doubled - as a meal, and as an ingridient, I can't post a screenshot :c

@Yaveton - Oh has it been in the meals category? I don't play with collapsed categories, so I completely missed that. I'll see about fixing it sometime today.

If I might suggest - to have it be not categorised as Meals, but as Raw Food? Unless it has caused other problems on your end with other mods?

Tbh it also balances itself out against the Food Preservation tech, as it.
Pros of the Food Preservation: Cheep, but takes time, you can't access produce during an unexpected shortage; works with meet only. This mod is more labour intensive, more expensive, but lets you preserve on the fly, when pawns have time, and doesn't disqualify Dried Meat - <3

@ocarina <3 <3

Update
- Salt from Medieval Overhaul can now be used to preserve meats, produce, and fish

@Yaveton - Sorry, Steam didn't notify me of that comment. Yeah I should be able to patch that in!

No condoms smh my neck

Dear, any chance of including Medieval Overhaul's salt into the recipie?

@Shira - What

early condoms?

thought i'd let you know: the mod DOES function without Vanilla Cooking Expanded. i just can't make any preserved foods with out it

@Emberbuck - Maybe.

So medieval-esque version of the canned foods? Wouldn't the word preserves be better than preservatives?

@ocarina, it doesn't make sense in these canned food anymore, in real life it's just food ready to eat, okay

@Ellypsus - Yes.

Is this combat extended compatible?

@BreakUrSelf - Great to hear! I hope your colony or tribe prospers.

Really awesome mod. I have finally survived my first winter! Cheers

Fixed some typos

@demonking100 - It's not really meant to be a meal mod though, it's just supposed to preserve ingredients like canning does, but for early-game tribes and medieval colonies. Perhaps I'll make a custom research for it that's alongside pemmican.

personally I feel like this should be a middle ground between pemmican and survival meals

@MerlinCross - What would you recommend? Setting it under pemmican maybe? or a custom research after pemmican?

Might need to try this though the fact it's locked behind condiments might make me go "Why don't I just research ACs and make a freezer".

I'll try this on a tribal run and see how it feels but i like little ideas like this.

@denchik4577 - Yes, my mod does not make canned food, it makes jarred food. There is a difference. Also, even in Vanilla Cooking Expanded, canned food is NOT a ready to eat dish and likewise, my preservatives are not ready to eat meals either.

will not make a normal canned food, as usual, raw food is eaten, in which place is it raw? canned food is a ready-to-eat dish

@bograngles - goat. baa

thanks goat(?) creature

- Added the canning machine to the list of workbenches food can be jarred
- Added a patch for Vanilla Fishing Expanded that adds preserved fish
- Added support for Vanilla Plants Expanded's fruits (oops!)

@CollectorOfMyst - I'm working on the update right now (currently trying to find where I put my source art file for the jars) but I can definitely add the canning bench to the list.

Haha I don't blame you, I stayed away from Fishing for a long while but now I love it. And this mod'll be great for the stuff that has very short shelf life like carrots and stuff so I appreciate it.

I should ask, would there be any way to add it to the canning bench as well? I don't know precisely how it works and obviously have no idea how to mod it in myself, but having a dedicated preserving bench means it'd make sense to be able to do those there.

Also for fruits I think that the Vanilla Expanded ones, at least, all get sorted into their own 'raw fruit' category, so it should mostly be a case of separating out the vanilla berries, no?

@CollectorOfMyst - There is no compatibility with VE Fish (I forgot it existed, I don't use it often; I'll make a new preservative type for preservative fish soon. Thanks) and VE Plants it should work fine, though that just reminded me I didn't actually make the VE Fruit preservable (I also don't use that mod often either, haha).

How does this work with things like VE Fish or VE Plants?
