Ethanol Fermenter

Description
One of the holes in the game play I've identified is early game ethanol production. Getting arbor trees and a distillery going is complex, power hungry, and dup labor intensive without large amounts of automation. But the nosh beans don't feel like a late game food at all, sleet wheat has similar (but even then easier) complexities and makes better food. In my opinion, nosh beans should be a viable early/mid game food as a upgrade to mealwood. Thus a new building to solve this.

Fermenter

Takes food and ferments it into ethanol.

Recipes: (each makes 20kg ethanol)

300 kcal mealwood
320 kcal mushroom
266 kcal bristle blossem
1 sleet wheat
400 kcal water weed
1 nosh bean
278 kcal bog bucket
400 kcal spindly grubfruit
250 kcal grubfruit
400 kcal of muckroot etc.
200 kcal plant meat
For most plants this equals 1 to 1 plant to nosh plant ratio. Usually a moral upgrade for the cost of extra dup labor and temperature control.

Is it possible to add recipes for the new food and plants from the DLCs?

Why do you have this modinfo.yaml configured to only work on Spaced Out, when the building works fine in vanilla and spaced out? BTW the modinfo.yaml formatting has changed recently. Mod works fine in vanilla and spaced out after all these years. Thank you!

I've not got a great idea of what is causing your issue however

Hmm I though I had pushed it to github, apparently I have not. I can take a look

Also, I wanted to ask: Have you considered publishing your sourcecode on GitHub or similar and, maybe, giving permission to others to update your mod(s)?

This mod no longer works (Build U46-552078-S with Spaced Out DLC enabled). :steamsad:

I was hopeful that this one would work for me because it was last updated about a year ago and because it says that it requires Spaced Out. However, despite the fact that it did not spit out an error or warning at me, the Ethanol Fermenter will not produce any Ethanol.

BTW, I only had 3 other mods when I tested this - a mod manager and 2 bugfixes - with Ethanol Fermenter loaded last:
* Mod Manager
* Stock Bug Fix
* Automatic Dispenser BugFix
* Ethanol Fermenter

Steps to reproduce:
1. Build Ethanol Fermenter
2. Wire Ethanol Fermenter to power grid
3. Pipe Ethanol Fermenter to an output (either Liquid Reservoir or Liquid Vent - I tried both)
4. Set Priority of Ethanol Fermenter very high (I tried 8, 9 and even !! Emergency, but nothing.)
5. Assign a recipe to Ethanol Fermenter to produce Ethanol using available ingredients (I tried Muckroot, Nosh Bean and Meal Lice. Dupes will deliver ingredients - I can see them inside the building through the info panel. But the building just refuses to produce Ethanol.)

Looking at my Player Log, I see this error spammed over and over again:
[WARNING] EthanolFermenterComplete EthanolFermenterComplete (UnityEngine.GameObject) has material needs cached, but no open fetches. materialNeedCache=3, fetchListList=0

that would be great

I could potentially make the ratio configurable if there is interest
