Rustic Meal Retexture

Description
After playing Medieval Overhaul for a few playthroughs and then returning to VE mods, one of the things that hit me the most was the vanilla meal trays.

Not only do they look subpar compared to the rest of the VE content, but they also don’t thematically fit any colony that isn’t an industrial era cafeteria.

Description
This is a simple patch that replaces vanilla meal textures with ones more fitting for pre-industrial playthroughs.



Changed Meals
  • Simple Meal
  • Fine Meal
  • Canivore Fine Meal
  • Vegetarian Fine Meal
  • Lavish Meal
  • Canivore Lavish Meal
  • Vegetarian Lavish Meal
  • Nutrient Paste Meal
  • Packaged Survival Meal (and Ideology variations)

Updates
29/03/25 - Nutrient Paste Meal

Nutrient Paste has been retextured.
02/04/25 - Packaged Survival Meal

All three Packaged Survival Meals have been retextured.
10/04/25 - Vanilla Cooking Expanded

All original VCE Meals have been retextured.
13/04/25 - Vanilla Cooking Expanded: Stew

VCE Stews have been retextured.
14/04/25 - Big and Small - Genes & More
Note: On 1.4 and 1.5 only.

All B&S Large Meals have been retextured.
17/04/25 - Sauced Meals & Bakes, Ashes and Vanilla Simple Meals

All Sauced Meals have been retextured.
23/04/25 - Veg/Meat Ideology Variants to Nutrient Paste Meal, Fine Meal, and Lavish Meal

Added Ideology variants to Nutrient Paste, Simple Meal, Fine Meal and Lavish Meal.
26/04/25 - Baby Food & Pemmican

Pemmican and Biotech Baby Food have been retextured.
07/05/25 - VCE - Carnivore/Vegetarian Meals Patch

VCE Carnivore and Vege Meals Patch variants have been retextured.
16/09/25 - Survival Meal Pallet

Odyssey Survival Meal Pallet has been retextured.

Design Considerations
The new textures follow vanilla’s design philosophy:
  • While they’re no longer rectangular, they maintain a round shape for easy recognition at a distance
  • Their color reflects meal quality and ingredients (mixed, vegetarian, or meat-based).
  • Includes x2 and x10 stack variants.

Technical Details
  • Safe to add mid-game and should be safe to remove.
  • Textures match vanilla resolution (128x128).
  • Obviously, if you advance to Spacer tech while using this mod, your Spacer Pawns will still eat from bowls - but that has its own charm, right?

Future Plan
  1. Odyssey DLC support
  2. Kibble
  3. VE Cooking: Haute (Investigating)
  4. Meals from Alpha Bees
  5. Cannibal and Insect Meals
  6. Rotten Meat (if it gets to 1.6)
  7. Sanguine Dining
  8. Better Survival Meals
  9. Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded: Reimagined Progression

@objsource Not anytime soon I'm afraid. I'm busy elsewhere at the moment, but maybe I'll have time later this fall or winter. I've added links to my .psd files if you (or anybody) want to continue the work - see the "Assets" section at the bottom of the page.

@Jelheb are you still planning to update kibble?
Jelheb  [author] 30 Sep @ 6:34am 
Added a written description for the "Updates" images. I'm not sure which img host still work in the UK, if you know something free and easy to use, please lemme know.
Lionheart 30 Sep @ 2:54am 
FYI imgur.com has blocked the UK from accessing it's site so your mod description which contains images hosted there, now has NO information available in that format for anyone accessing from the UK.
you may want to consider updating with a text description.

I can't wait to add support for "Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded: Reimagined Progression." I'm so excited!

Hey everyone!

Just a quick update to mention that the Odyssey survival meal pallet got updated.

Also - if anyone is interested into peeking or reusing this mod files, I'll post a link to a dropfile containing all my photoshop assets.

Feel free to do whatever you want with those assets - as long as you learn and get better!

As for the other mods to patch - they might get done eventually. But doing it yourself would certainly be faster. ;)

Very much appreciated and no rush, my dude. Take all the time you need. You are doing this on your spare time so I don't want you to feel obligated to please some random stranger lol
