The mod I linked seemed to work at first... then like I said I noticed my cooks were standing around, and I had like 30 food stores full of the ingredients they needed... so when I opened their inv and saw all the crap they just randomly picked up I tried emptying it, to no avail. They just filled it right back up.

Ok so, I've noticed something concerning these mods. All of the mods I've downloaded that are supposed to make Ration Packs craft-able, don't let your minions pick up Food Cubes to make them, so you can't automate it. The link to the mod I provided which is supposed to fix this, keeps filling my cooks inventory with Meatwraps, (because it has the word meat in it or something? no idea. dried apple bread doesn't have the word meat in it, not does banana chips, and they pick those up too) and other food items they don't need, to the point where they just end up standing around because their inventory is full of stuff they don't require.

That sucks, as I was really wanting to get this craft-able Ration Packs thing to be a reality.

Don't mention it

That's interesting. Thank you for providing a solution, I will add it to the description.

If you find that your character won't automatically gather foodcubes, making this mod unable to be automated, you'll need to dload this:
