Same, but mine is for Vanilla Plants Expanded.

I think the issue came from Medieval Overhaul's patch was trying to find the mods with the wrong name. I opened up the PlantsMedievalOverhaulPatch.xml file with Notepad...

Originally posted by PlantsMedievalOverhaulPatch.xml:

<Operation Class="PatchOperationFindMod">
<mods>
<li>Vanilla Plants Expanded</li>
</mods>

And changed "Vanilla Plants Expanded" to "VanillaExpanded.VPlantsE" (This is the ID you can find in the in-game Mods menu). I reloaded the game and the error is gone.

So probably you have to open up CookingMedievalOverhaulPatch.xml and change the mod name to the actual mod ID to fix it. I'm not sure if this is the proper way to fix this issue, cuz I'm not familiar with coding and/or modding, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: I was wrong, so please ignore the parts that was stricken.

@PaRaNoiaC this advice may have just saved a patch I was working on, holy smokes; thank you internet stranger, take some steam points!

Btw, I've tested this and it's 100% not the correct thing to do. It may no longer "patchfail" for you but that's because the patch can no longer see any relevant mod (a patch just turns itself off if that happens - which is why - if you don't have a mod installed, a patch won't spit errors because you don't have it's counterpart)

Just a friendly PSA cause it seems like you want the patch to work, not fail, kek

Butchering won't complete - instead stuck in an endless loop

Thanks for the confirmation! I've had a feeling that it's incorrect since Medieval Overhaul just straight up disappeared from the patch log, and the items are still duplicated instead of being merged/integrated.

I'll be patient and wait for the author's update then.

So I looked up the basics of Rimworld modding & patching, and I think I may have found something weird about the patches for both Vanilla Cooking Expanded & Vanilla Plants Expanded.

Apparently PlantsMedievalOverhaulPatch.xml was trying to patch VCE objects (VCE_Wheat, VCE_Sugarcane, etc.) in the VPE mod, CookingMedievalOverhaulPatch.xml was trying to patch VPE objects (VCE_Cabbage, VCE_Onion, etc.) in the VCE mod.

I'm guessing the fix here should be to switch the mod names in PatchOperationFindMod for both patches? Can someone confirm?
