How much fish do I need to smoke? do I need to read a magazine? I have a bunch of fish and a fire.

Okay, how much friggin ethanol wort do you actually need?? It says 100 units. I made several ethanol wort and yet for some reason, in the crafting menu for making ethanol brew, it never says I have enough. Just to test, I cheated 100 ethanol wort and the "required" thing for ethanol wort is STILL greyed out as if I have none at all. What gives?

ah ok, yeah i like the mod, maybe spoon is bit busy atm,
(btw its good that evaporated milk has less calories irl, because thats what im going to be eating with me christmas puddings next month) :lunar2019grinningpig:
retr0l0gy 8 Nov @ 7:03am 
its a good mod, just wish it was maintained and fixed.
retr0l0gy 8 Nov @ 7:03am 
nah its evaporated milk. could be called condensed milk in files though. but irl evaporated milk is around 300-500 calories. and even if it was condensed milk, thats only 1000-1200 calories irl. my point is that the caloric counts in this mod make no sense. its not really an issue for me anymore since i uninstalled the mod because of this.
pgames-food 7 Nov @ 8:25pm 
hi the item i think is condensed milk
Icon = CannedCondensedMilk_Open,
i think that does have alot of calories due to all the sugar though
retr0l0gy 7 Nov @ 6:35am 
also creator was high when making this. There is not goddamn 2000 calories in a single can of evaporated milk.
retr0l0gy 7 Nov @ 6:34am 
@Aurora Cryptid. Could you link some?

Trash mod,there are many better alternatives

just steer clear of the obvious mistakes he's made

Incredibly weird and terrible mod. You can turn Red Licorice which has 22 calories into 5 Brown Sugars, which are 1500 Calories each- And this isn't the only recipe like this. The dude who made this is on some shit.

I have trouble preparing soap and Tallow using fish fillet it seems the units on fish fillet are not calculated right everything is white in recipe but i cant start crafting would it be possible to add smoke preparation fish to the cooking recipe so you first combine the fish fillet ?
Helios 2 Oct @ 5:02am 
Would it be possible to add pemmican as recipe since we have tallow you could mix tallow with meat and maybe berrys/strawberrys?

It's been longer than 15 days and my ethanol brew won't finish...

Smoking/salting meat makes zero sense and the instructions aren't helpful. Anybody have a better explanation, or even a video on how to do it?
Rootner1007 24 Sep @ 6:41am 
@simcye it is currently bugged. The recipe calls for "Rock Salt" but the item you get from foraging is "Salt Rock" making it impossible to turn into salt.
pgames-food 21 Sep @ 7:33pm 
hi it looks like you need this:
recipe Stomp Salt Rocks to Salt
SaltRock=10,
keep RippedSheets=5,
keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer]/Log/MetalBar/HandAxe/Crowbar/Axe/WoodAxe,
simcye 21 Sep @ 11:00am 
how the hell do you turn salt rocks into salt it says "stomp" but there's no way to do that
pgames-food 7 Sep @ 9:06pm 
ah i think regular salt rock is found from foraging in this mod, and the other mod can allow actual deep foraging for salt mines, https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2963057869
but i think regular salt should work too - what if you try searching more houses for salt (or add a trading mod to let you buy some and then try rightclicking on a meat to start off the evolved recipe chain? fingers crossed it might work for you :)
Cuheru 7 Sep @ 6:43pm 
I have figured out the sweet juice, still no luck with finding salt.
Cuheru 7 Sep @ 7:07am 
Additionally, which 'certain veggies' can be stomped into sweet juice?
Cuheru 7 Sep @ 7:02am 
Any suggestions on how best to find the 'foragable salt rocks'? I've been foraging in the listed biomes, sometimes focusing on stones(though I am unsure if the salt rocks count as stone) long enough to go from Foraging 3 to Foraging 6 and haven't found a single grain of salt. Really need some to continue canning my meat surplus for winter.

i think you have to make vineger wort, then vinegar brew, and then when the brew is ready it needs an empty bottle (done from floor as far as i can see in the script called spoonpreserve_main.txt
pgames-food 6 Sep @ 6:09pm 
hi i havent tried making that yet but if you have the Craft Helper mod (i think the one labelled no lag), does it show you the exact recipe there? (usually i right-click on most items, and select craft helper, and it shows me all the things that could be done with it and it helps me with most recipes - apart from some of the evolved recipes for cooking where in recent times it always shows a massive list of cooking variables)
+; Thriftworks 6 Sep @ 11:16am 
Does the barrel need to be in the main inventory? Or on the floor? I tried both ways, I click on the barrel and it doesn't give me the option to do it.
+; Thriftworks 6 Sep @ 11:15am 
Guys, someone help pls. I can't make the vinegar. I have the barrel, the vegetables, the sugar. But it doesn't give me the option to do so. Any tips?

Isnt cabbage nerfed a bit too much did the math just for callories : vanilla 133 for each unit (0,15) and 40 with food preservation plus that problem is that the base nurtition got nerfed and also at same time cabbage weight more vanilla its 0,2 now 0,5 so you get over 50% additional less nutrition each unit.

Looking at everybody else asking the questions I'm having myself, I'm starting to think there should be a guide to this mod. The systems feel a bit too advanced to just wing it."

spoon has made lot of cool mods, and the crafting helper mod has helped me if i got stuck, showing me more info like what items go with what.

the only thing that took me more time to learn, was when adding most of spoon's mods in the mod manager, because i think none of the mods actually have "spoon" in the title, and it took me ages to flick back and fourth to see which mods to add :)

(btw spoon loves or hates fast growing trees) but hasnt commented here recently - spoon you're cool :)

HotSTeh, bro, how much mushroom bulp I need to make yeast? 150 of them???
10 pieces of one type. The recipe is written incorrectly there, pieces are needed, not quantity. For example, for fish you need 60 units of any fish, and for mushrooms 10 pieces of one type of mushrooms.

why cant you use rotten mush for filing the biogas refinery?

Canning farm yield veggies and fruits don't seem to work
Chizuu 16 Jun @ 8:53am 
A very silly question though still arguably a noob in this game - I really do not understand how the salt and smoke meat mechanic works. I have salt and fillets in my inventory and when I go tot the crafting menu it won't let me salt the meat. I am probably missing something obvious but would really appreciate a guide for dummies like me. Thank you and am sorry! This mod in general is amazing though!

Each time I load into a game I keep getting this error: https://blankslate.io?note=1025071
Can't fit the whole error so I had to put it somewhere :)

I noticed that butchering birds no longer gives feather fletchings when used with the Bow and Arrow mod; a compatibility fix is likely needed for the two mods to work together.

hi ive been using snakes mod pack (which has le gourmet in it) + this (and a bunch of other mods) - as far as i can tell im seeing recipes for both appear, so far it seems ok but i havent had enough items to try preserving yet
Nomad 31 May @ 3:40am 
work with le gourmet?

按配方直接制作“自制肉罐头”时,得到的是一个“食物”类型的自制肉罐头而非“罐头类型”(即制作完成后得到的罐头直接进入保质期倒计时)
打开模组本地文件根目录下的media\scripts文件夹下的spoonpreserve_main.txt文件,定位到805行配方Make Can of Meat,将813行
Result:HomemadeMeatRaw,
改为
Result:HomemadeMeat,
即可
When making "homemade canned meat" directly according to the formula, the result is a "food" type of homemade canned meat rather than a "can type" (i.e. the canned meat obtained after production enters the countdown to its shelf life)
Open the spoonpreserve_main.txt file in the media \ scripts folder under the root directory of the module's local file, locate line 805 of the recipe Make Can of Meat, and add line 813
Result: HomemadeMeatRaw,
Change to
Result: HomemadeMeat,
that will do

Can I find the Preserving Food for Dummies recipe in my map if I add the mod mid game?
XP-Lionheart 23 Apr @ 8:47am 
Frustration with the soap is real. Two recipes, both having everything required & highlighted. What makes it worse, is that I was able to get it to work twice . . . idk if the volume of the meat isn't quite enough . .. seems to kick in w/ 5 dead birds (skinned) . . . one time the 'craft one' highlighted when I cooked it. .I'm still at it, but I'm not sure which factor is so finicky. The baking pan recipe w/ matches all highlighted has never given me the ability to craft, but the meat one out of about 6 attempts, I've been able to make 2 batches & not sure exactly what caused those to work.
Morgan 28 Mar @ 7:42pm 
May I add this to my modpack?
The Frightening Skeleton 25 Mar @ 12:37am 
@PrincezzJessica I can't speak about salted meat, as I haven't tried making it in any of my games, but with smoked meat you just cook it regularly (in an oven, campfire, etc) after preparing it. It'll take several hours to be ready, but once it's cooked it's done.
