It's in a can, man

Description
This simple mod allows you to finally extract goodies from a can, so you could use them as a trap bait, and ultimately cook something more nutritious.
And yes, I know a can of carrots usually contains more than one, so getting just one item from a can is a bit weird. But hey, it's a game, right? And you want that trap bait, right? So whaddaya waiting for? It's in a can, man.

But why not just make "Open can" a possible bait?
It was my first thought as well. But for reasons beyond my understanding, it simply doesn't work - while an open can becomes possible to use as bait, it never catches anything, even if I set the probability to 100%. So I came up with this quick solution - and I'm even kinda glad it turned out this way, because it's such a cool name for a mod.

What types of food are included?
Only those that work as a bait in vanilla:
  • Tomato
  • Carrot
  • Potato
  • Peach
  • Corn
Why? Just because I couldn't think of any use of extracting other stuff. If you can - drop me a comment and maybe I'll add others.

Is it exploit-protected?
Actually it is; if you extract food from the "Stale" version of an open can, it will give you a "Stale" vegetable. But I take no credit for it: it kinda just worked from the box, as unlikely as it is.

Also, a small addition from me: if you chew on your can's contents before extracting the rest, you will now get exactly as much as you left in a can.

@water enjoyer So it's out already eh? Time sure flies. I don't know if it's compatible, you'll have to try.

Great mod idea, is it old save file compatible, or do I need to make a new save for it ?

@Orcodstra While this one gives you veggie bait, "Dig Worms" will give you worms for the birds - try that as well.

@Cirrus I don't see much value in having options to divide the output, tbh. What do two 4-hunger carrots give you that one 9-hunger wouldn't?
Cirrus 19 Jun, 2024 @ 9:45pm 
Like maybe options to change the amount of output but devide the hunger
like
4 Carrots
-1/4 can hunger

2 carrots
-1/2 can hunger

1 Carrot
-1x can hunger
