Thank you very much

Good luck with your project!

No errors, but I have noticed this because I am making an customized variant since I use
Food Stack (also moified) and the dots are covered by the numbers.
I think I will delete these old files.

Right, it is (was) part of the base game that might no longer be used. Is it causing errors for you?

Ok, i found exact one information about this item, it is a old removed item to test the hunger system (i think).
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/211820/discussions/0/355043117518390994/

There are files "...\food_rot_dots\items\generic\meat\emptystomach_blue.png", ...green...yellow.
But a item emptystomach.consumable does not exist in Starbound Koala, Giraffe or Release version.

@Dylldophlo I'm sorry but I don't understand your question

which mod is emptystomach for please?

Nice mod , it seems it does not work with Elithian Races mod

I would've installed it if I didn't have that mod that stops food from rotting away, but no need.

Sorry to hear that you had problems. If you're playing on a server that doesn't have my mod installed then that will happen. If you're not on a server, then you can copy your starbound.log file to somewhere like pastebin and I can take a look to try and solve the issue.

Found it on a "best client side mods" thread, it changed all the spoilable food I grabbed into Perfectly Generic Items when trying to put it in a fridge, uninstalling the mod didn't save my food

Awesome the images don't disappear anymore, tho a few of the food items added by other mods still don't get a green dot its no big deal at least its working with FU now. Thanks a bunch!

I created new cyan colors, so the mod should work with Frackin' Universe now. I didn't test it at all so I hope it works.

Your welcome and I can't wait to use this with my mod list, if this mod ever gets the update that is :3

Thanks for helping to narrow down the issue. I'll come up with a solution and upload a new version some time this week. If I can find the time I'll make new cyan icons, otherwise I'll just duplicate the blue icon and name it cyan.

So it looks like when I have Frackin Universe and this mod together it causes the missing images glitch. It happens after I collect a certain number of items with rot timers that the green text then turns into cyan in the descriptions and then the dots and meat item images disappear.

I went and installed the all mods manually this time and only used the Frackin Universe ones and Food Rot Dots so that only those 2 would come out in the log this time - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/326194398687789059/500872856180359168/starbound.log

Just a heads up, new food added to the game should be compatible with my mod because they won't have a reference to my extra rotting script, so they'll act as normal without the special icons with the extra dot I add. But if the mod that adds food also modified the rotting.config file, then that's where the problem would be. Check to see if any of your installed mods mention anything about that cyan color.

It might be Frackin Univrse, CN farming or some other mod adding food that might be doing that but I will try to start-up my game with each one at a time to see which is doing it.

My mod works by creating separate food icons for each of the colors I supported (blue, green, grey, orange, red, yellow) and when the game checks for how old food is then it modifies the file name for the icon from, say, bakedpotato.png to bakedpotato_blue.png. From the error lines in your log, I don't use the color cyan, so some other mod must have modified the rotting.config file to use that color for one of the rotting stages.

Starbound kind of dropped the ball by not allowing the user to select the mod load order, and instead it's controlled on a per-mod basis by the _metadata file of the mod. You'll have to either choose between my mod or the one causing the color conflict, or you could make a "mod" of just the rotting.config file with a _metadata file using a priority value with a large number. The colorblind addon I include with the download from Chucklefish's site (Color-blind_Food_Spoil.pak) is basically just that, but it's missing a _metadata file.

It's a bit complicated looking up where the errors are when using Steam mods because it assigns everything numbers instead of values, but the URL of the page shows the mod's ID. For example, this mod is '738481509' because the URL is https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=738481509

I don't see my mod's ID anywhere in the log, and I don't see any of my files mentioned in any other lines. But near the end of the log you can see where the food icons aren't being set properly:
[21:45:13.158] [Error] Could not load image asset '/items/generic/meat/alienmeat_cyan.png', using placeholder default.
(AssetException) No such asset '/items/generic/meat/alienmeat_cyan.png'
[21:45:13.165] [Error] Could not load image asset '/items/generic/meat/rawpoultry_cyan.png', using placeholder default.
(AssetException) No such asset '/items/generic/meat/rawpoultry_cyan.png'

continued in next comment due to character limits...

Heres the log if you need it - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/326194398687789059/500725869980155904/starbound.log

If you want, you can post your starbound.log file to somewhere like pastebin and I can take a look. I'd need to know what the error is anyways to be able to fix it.

I always play this game alone and not on any servers.

This time my skill from the other mod kept working but some of the food images still disappeared and some did not have the green dot. I looked at the log file but I don't understand most of what its doing and saying since I am still new to editing and reading mods.

When I start the game it takes a few seconds before it makes changes to my food items and then I see some the images for the food items add the green dots and then the meat item images disappear.

I also installed the Chuckle Fish version and that one didn't even change anything for me. I backed up my character this time so the images wouldn't stay messed up this time after un-installing.

I have a lot of new planet and item mods and Frackin Universe, idk if any of them are effecting your mod but something is for sure. I don't need to use this mod its just aesthetic to me but it would be nice to look at it in game for sure.

Didn't know about those logs, I'll start over and check them out.

Regarding the food icons from your first message, are you playing on a server that doesn't have the mod installed? I know that has been an issue with other users in the past.

For the problems with RPG Growth, I'm honestly not sure what the conflict could be. I patch the food items to add my rotting_frd.lua script after the default rotting.lua script, so I don't touch any of the character files at all. I downloaded RPG Growth and unpacked it, and that mod doesn't seem to be modifying the food items or the default rotting script. If you use a lot of mods then maybe the conflict is somewhere else? If you look at your starbound.log file (under the 'storage' folder in your Starbound install directory) then you should be able to see where the errors are occurring.

Nevermind seems like the problem comes back even after doing that method.

Also this mod seems to be incompatible with the RPG Growth mod - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1115920474

It caused my Explorer's Discovery skill to stop working, a skill that makes the player character glow in a small area as long as his health is above 50%

I have to install this one first an then RPG growth over it for them to work properly together.

This mod makes some of the food pictures in the inventory disappear and not even have a dot to the side of it but some of the food items of the same type still keep their images and the dots, this is very strange and annoying but not too bad.

@mordant zombie [author],,
Generated guns with multiple parts and I think 2 uniques.

Icon = {
{ image = icon },
{ image = rotdot, position = { x, y }
}

Thanks, if I ever have to update the mod I'll look into it. But from what I remember, inventoryIcon was a string parameter. I looked into image overlays but it seemed impossible at the time. Do you know of any mods that work as you mentioned? I did a quick google search and all I found was the old stuff about hue shifting

@mordant zombie [author],
Hey. If you're still active, you can stack images in inventoryIcon. It might be worth taking a look so you don't have to create images for every food item and instead just overlay the rot dot ontop of the food icon.

That's a shame. When I was still playing Starbound last year I used Enhanced Storage for a while and didn't notice any problems with my mod. If you'd like to, post about it at the link in the description (the Chucklefish site) with the version of Enhanced Storage you're using and the error log. I can try to look into it but I'm not sure if it'd even be something I can fix on my end.

This mod causes an eof crash when used with enhanced storage. Bummer.

If you're playing on a server that doesn't have the mod installed, then it's normal for that to happen when you drop the item from your inventory. If you're playing single player that shouldn't happen.

This mod turns canned food & many more edibiles into perfectly generic items when you drop them

Nice mod. And it's Philip J. fry. Now I wonder where Bender went?

all my food was red





am now starving slowly.

I love it, and I hope that this functionality becomes part of the base game soon.

Yeah the modding support is pretty nice but it still has its limits. As mentioned there's no icon overlay so that's why I had to replace the inventory icons, and there's no way I know of to check if the server has my mod installed when it leaves your inventory to replace it.

Worst case when you join a server without this mod is to just keep your affected food in your inventory and use it first. Any new food you create on the server should be normal as far as I know, but I don't play multiplayer.

Really great mod, but sadly if it is not on the server then when you try to put the food variants with the dot into a chest they turn into perfectly generic items.

Its too bad they can't be converted back to the original item when placed into a chest for fridge, it would make this mod amazing since it would not be required on the server end.

What would have made this mod much easier is if the modding capabilities of the game would allow you to just add the dot as an overlay, I bet that would have saved you a lot of time on this.

Pretty great, I like that it isn't obtrusive in any way

Very useful

This mod works by replacing inventory icons, so if you uninstall the mod then any existing items won't have any icons. But any new items will work fine. There's no reason to re-install the game.

Sorry about that, Tier 3 food was broken. Fixed now.

"Exception caught in client main-lopp (AssetException) Error loading asset /scripts/items/rotting_ri.lua" was the error message.

Welp, it gave an error for me and returned me to the title screen. Also after uninstalling the MOD almost all food icons are missing and reinstalling the GAME won't fix it. So now I have to hover over the blank icons to even see which food it is. :(

Saw this on the subreddit and immediately went to download. Great QoL change!
