Food - Aged Cheese

Cheese needs an upgrade! This delicious treat has been relegated to a method of preserving milk and a simple cooking ingredient for far too long. Embrace the art of aging cheese to make a truly delicious treat worthy for a feast of kings, or at least settlers.

To make cheese you now need 1 piece of salt. Salt is key in most cheeses that need to ripen. Cheese will no longer give a negative mood buff if consumed. It is still considered a raw ingredient for the purpose of cooking, but now has higher nutritional value (30 from the original 15) if your settlers need food in a pinch.

Cheese can continue to “ferment” and ripen into Aged Cheese.

• Aged Cheese is considered a meal and will grant a +4 happiness modifier
  
  • It has a slightly higher trade value than meals
    
  • It has a feast value of 60 (40 is normal meals, 100 is lavish)
    
  • Aged cheese takes approximately 8 days to make from cheese.

Aged cheese can “ferment” for one final time to Finely Aged Cheese

• Finely Aged Cheese is considered a delicacy and offers a +8 mood when eaten
  
  • It has trade value equal to a lavish meal or aged wine
    
  • It has a feast value of 100 (same as lavish meal)
    
  • Finely Aged Cheese takes approximately 16 days to make from Aged Cheese

By default, the new food items will not be selected to consume with All Foods or Meal in the settlers manage food settings. I have not found a way to enable this in modding without overriding default game options limiting compatibility with other mods.

Please make a custom food management to include the new items.

Special thank you to discord users Solid Salmon Snake and Battalion Chaos for tossing out some wonderful ideas in regards to how cheese could be upgraded!

This mod is compatible with update #15, Version 0.24
