W Patrick's Hard Tack

Description
Adds a simple, dry bread called 'hard tack' to the game.


This mod is basic and only adds a few new food items to vanilla. It should be compatible with other mods, can be added to any save (even removed, but you will lose your bread!) and should be multiplayer compatible, but I haven't tested cause I haven't played multiplayer yet.

Here's a quick review video to see it in action.
https://youtu.be/eCd9YxeHQC0


Features:
------------

Mix 2 units of water with 2 units of flour/corn flour to get 4 bits of hard tack dough (mixes faster with a bowl and utensil in your hands).

Cook for ~1 hour, 45 minutes and you have an old fashioned, non-perishable bread item. It sucks to eat though, as you'll see. You can also occasionally find it where survivors may have also stashed beef jerky.

You can soften it with water to remove the unhappiness and thirst debuff, but it will become perishable when moistened. It can be added to soups and stews.

Pairs great with Soul Filcher's Farming Time mod, as it allows wheat and corn to be grown and converted into flour.

Static inventory icons were custom made myself, world models are just oatmeal cookies and biscuits because how do Blender??


Future Plans:
------------------

I'd like to make them be softened with soda and various alcohols, so that you can have added happiness. But I haven't yet come up with a reliable way to do this.


Notes:
--------

I balanced it the best I could, and this is my first mod I've made and released, so go easy on me!
I have many other projects planned but haven't figured out how to code it just yet. But expect more, I have a few other small finished mods complete.

Go ahead and use the mod in any packs, just please please give the proper credit.
Constructive feedback always appreciated!

Also for future plan to add hapiness buff 2 things 1 please try to come up with new icon the top of the current one looks good but it looks way to thick to be a Bread ration. 2 just make this recipe:

Empty bowl/carved bowl + pop/beer can, 1/4th bottle of orange soda, Half a bottle of wine, 1/4 bottle any other alcohol(can't make it shots) + 1 portion of Hard Tack = {Hapiness boost Liquid here} Soaked Hard Tack.

Also this one for free Trail Beans: Empty Bowl/carved bowl + Open bean can + Hard Tack + cooked Bacon/slice of ham = Bowl of Trail Beans. Do the same with an empty pot to make a pot of trail Beans.

@Dragontamer997 do yourself a favour Go to your local store Buy Hard Tack & tell me how big it is... Cause where I live that stuffs the size of a 2x1 soda cracker & as thick as a slices of bread what sandwich would you make? A Crustini? Secondly when you add water to Hard Tack its not like re-hydrating food like those self baking buns in Star Wars Ep 8 (amazing as those would be) no when added to water they become slimy goy on the out side with Jaw-braker cores. When added to soup or stew its needed to wait 5mins to let it soften through then cut with a spoon & eaten in place of potatoes

So is there any way to make it so we could slice the hard Tack after its been softened so we can still make sandwiches later in the game?

Grew a relatively small field of corn w/Farmin' Time - 24 furrows worth.

Harvested enough to replant and still had 10 bags of corn flour afterwards.

Converted it all into just shy of 60,000 calories of shelf stable biscuits from one harvest, at the cost of a quarter of a barrel of water.

10/10, would shatter teeth again.
