There isn't any engram to learn or a recipe you click on in the pot. Just like the vanilla recipes, you simply put the ingredients into the pot along with some fuel and light the fire. Should only take 5 seconds to cook each batch.
whitedove 18 Jan, 2018 @ 9:19am 
I placed a vanilla cooking pot and the recipe isn't there. I don't see any engrams to learn. What am I doing wrong?
Xandermud  [author] 25 Dec, 2017 @ 8:16pm 
Try deleting the mod's folder from the server directory and re-downloading it. Files can sometimes be corrupted during download. If it still crashes, try re-installing the server itself.

Everytime i place down the vanilla cooking pot, server crashes, its a Dedi

No worries. The reason I didn't give the medley a higher food value is that, in my testing, the higher food value made the medley roughly as good as kibble, which isn't what I wanted. In the future, if you tame something that seems to take too many medley, check a taming calculator like Dododex and see what it says for mejoberries. Just remember to divide that by 3 to get the medley amount. If they actually are eating too much, let me know.
Jules 20 Dec, 2017 @ 1:55am 
Although, you do say "you'll need roughly 4x more than prime meat" so I guess you actually did cover that, and I just forgot :) (new comment because no edit ability in this comment list. Ty Steam :rolleyes: )
Jules 20 Dec, 2017 @ 1:50am 
Thanks for the clarification. I had thought the recipe didn't just use the x3 rate, it was also adjusted for the difference in food value between berries and prime meat. I dunno why the anky tamed that fast, I believe I did have the taming rate higher than for the stego, but it wasn't 10x (I think it was 5x and the stego was 3x).
I guess it's not a huge practical thing except you've got to know about the food value differences or you won't make enough medley. It's that factor that is confusing with the description of "prime meat for herbivores", which is what led me to ask these questions :)
Xandermud  [author] 19 Dec, 2017 @ 9:08pm 
Prime meat is 3 times more effective than regular meat, so the medley is 3 times more effective than mejo berries. However, the food value is still much smaller than meat, so they eat more often. A 150 carno needs 170 raw meat or 57 prime meat while a 150 ankylo needs 425 mejo berries which would be around 142 medley (on 1x tame rate). In order for a 140 ankylo to tame with only 14 medley, the tame rate would need to be 10x. At 10x a carno needs 6 prime meat to tame and a rex needs 9.
Jules 19 Dec, 2017 @ 8:56pm 
Thanks for the response! That makes sense, but it only took 14 for a 140 anky at the boosted taming rate? Which is exactly the amount of prime meat it takes for a high level carnivorous dino at the same rate. According to your calc it should have been almost 40? I assumed the taming food amount of the medley had been boosted to make it equivalent to prime meat for herbi, and it indeed seemed to be that way for the first tame. Any idea why the difference?
Xandermud  [author] 18 Dec, 2017 @ 9:44pm 
That would depend on your taming multiplier. On the vanilla 1x taming speed, a lvl 100 stego would take about 200 medley. 2x it would be 100, 3x would be 66, etc. It should take exactly 1/3 the number of mejo berries you would normally have to use.
Jules 18 Dec, 2017 @ 5:52pm 
Hey, need to report that the amount of food given by the medly is under 4%. It seems to be a bout the same as berriers. Taming effectiveness is not lost, but it takes a ton of medlies to tame something, IIRC, it wasn't like that before, I tamed a 140 anky with like 14 medleys, so same food value as prime meat. But it took 80 to tame a high lebbel stego and 40 a high lebbel phiomia just now.
Jules 12 Nov, 2017 @ 6:39pm 
@Xandermud Ok thanks for clarifying that! When you say above "recipe in the cooking pot or industrial cooker", well S+ shows you all the recipes when you open those structures up. That's why I was confused about whether S+ should work with it :)
Xandermud  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 2:56am 
This is an issue with all mods. It's impossible to add recipes to another mod's crafting structure (cooking pot, crafting bench, etc.) I'm glad you enjoy it though =)
Jules 11 Nov, 2017 @ 2:53pm 
Oops, forgot. There's not a bug, but an issue with installing the mod after installing S+. This mod comes before in the load order, but premade S+ pots do not cook the recipe, only vanilla ones do. I didn't make another S+ pot to see if it worked on a new one, but I did pick up and replace the existing ones. Just wanted to let you know!
Jules 11 Nov, 2017 @ 2:51pm 
Hey Xander, thanks for modding this up! Incredibly handy as not everyone can run an entire egg farm so they can do the best herbies they can. Plus, 5 1/2 hours to tame a paracer with regular veggies wth! lol. Thank you again for making this!
Xandermud  [author] 12 Oct, 2017 @ 8:02pm 
S+ does not affect the vanilla pot at all, at least it hasn't in the past.
Drak The Man 12 Oct, 2017 @ 6:53pm 
@Xandermud When I tried last time, I did all of those things. I'll go ahead and restart/update my server. I'm wondering if S+ altered vanilla objects. If they did or nothing works, I'll just sub to your other version.
Xandermud  [author] 12 Oct, 2017 @ 7:33am 
Should only take 5 seconds. Couple of things to check. Make sure the skins have water in them (iirc they need to be at least 25% full, but I'd aim to be as close to 100% as possible). Also make sure that the vanilla cooking pot was placed *after* adding this mod. You can test by placing a new one.
Drak The Man 11 Oct, 2017 @ 7:45pm 
How long should this take to craft? I've waited a long time, but didn't get anything from the cooking pot. I had 4 of each veggie, 4 skins, and some fuel of course. I am using S+ but I made sure to use the vanilla pot instead.
Ansgeirr 11 Jun, 2017 @ 12:01pm 
Hello, I wanted to tell you that I might've found a possible bug. I am running on AnnuanakiGenesis and I am able to passive tames most of the herbivores. I fed one Herbivore Prime to a Trike, closed the game and upon starting it again I got a "Low Level Error (...) Line: 51", after which I got the mod off. Unfortunately, I haven't saved the error log or anything and cannot help you with more. I just want to give you a heads up on this, and thank you for the mod and your work.
Max 30 Apr, 2017 @ 12:13pm 
Very nice, any way you could make it work in any cooking pot meaning also from other mods, for example its only working in the vanilla coking pot that I can see, I tested in the Structures+ and the Uber Crafter cooking pots and it cannot be made in those.
Aaron Tigan 26 Apr, 2017 @ 11:16am 
Just noting, I have done all possible troubleshooting and this mod does NOT work. The recipe will not craft in any cooker or cooking pot for me or any of my players anymore and I have tried loading it in multiple different spots in the load order.
Aaron Tigan 25 Apr, 2017 @ 12:03am 
Not sure why but for the last two weeks or so I haven't been able to craft this in any cooking place regardless of being newly placed or not. It worked in one industrial cooker but that was it, nobody else could craft it in any other cooker of any kind modded or vanilla.
Xandermud  [author] 5 Apr, 2017 @ 4:03am 
Depends on what you mean by "work with". You can use resource stack items to cook the medley but the medley stack size won't change.
BardsFury 4 Apr, 2017 @ 5:48pm 
does this work with resource stacks?
Xandermud  [author] 24 Mar, 2017 @ 8:13pm 
Sorry, I didn't realize I haden't replied to that issue. I was testing for that bug as well as potential bugs in my wyvern breeding mod and must have gotten sidetracked at the time and forgot to reply. I was not able to reproduce the issue on my end. The recipe is working as intended for me. Also, he was reporting that it was happening in single player. The server I play on has restarted many, many times without issue. Feel free to test it yourself and see if you experience the issue. While I haven't been playing Ark much recently, I do intend to bugfix where necessary.
JDaremo Fireheart 24 Mar, 2017 @ 11:37am 
I was about to ask the same thing, Zera.
I would love to consider this mod for server use.
Zera_Fox 24 Mar, 2017 @ 10:55am 
Is this completely abandoned?
I see there have been no updates at all since the report of pots not saving status with this mod and requiring to be replaced each time you want to make this medly for Veggie eaters. :\
IF this is the case still, it seems more of a hassle than it's worth to have on a server.
Xandermud  [author] 23 Dec, 2016 @ 10:50pm 
I won't have time until after the holidays, but I'll run some tests and see if I can replicate the issue on my end. The mod is extremely simple and shouldn't be any different than other mods that add custom recipes. It is possible I missed something of course.
YoulluPukki 23 Dec, 2016 @ 10:35pm 
@Xandermud sorry to say it, but I checked it multiple times. Somehow pot isn't save it status and you should build new one evere time you coock. Mod stack remain unchanged about a week already, and I still put new pot every time I need Veggie Medley.

I spent about two hours on tests and result is the same: to coock Veggie Medley in single player you shold use new coocking pot every time game starts.

PS Crafting pots gaves you 20xp so 5 pots is almost levelUp so thats a good news ))
Xandermud  [author] 23 Dec, 2016 @ 11:17am 
@YoulluPukki- You should NOT need to break and replace the pot everytime you restart in singleplayer. You DO need to break and replace it when my mod is first installed, but you should not need to do it again unless you uninstall my mod and reinstall it. This is true for every mod that adds a custom recipe or engram btw. It's just the way the dev kit works.
YoulluPukki 23 Dec, 2016 @ 7:21am 
Well, it seems to be glitchy at single player. If you want to use this receipt you should use NEW pot. So you loading game, build NEW coocking pot and receipt works well. After you save&exit, next time it wouldn't work so you have to destroy pot and build NEW in that game session.
Xandermud  [author] 10 Dec, 2016 @ 5:34pm 
If the mod uses the vanilla cooker as a base, then it should work. Did you add my mod after placing the cooking pot? If the pot was there before my mod, you'd need to pick up the pot and put it back down for the recipe to work. As for kangaroos eating it, I'd say no. Haven't tested it, but my item is basically a modified copy of the advanced crops, so only creatures who eat the advanced crops will eat my medley.
AggroFrizzy 10 Dec, 2016 @ 9:14am 
Damn. Is there any way to get this recipe working in cookers from mods? I can't get the recipe to go in the fortress cooking pot. It's part of my fireplace.
AggroFrizzy 10 Dec, 2016 @ 8:51am 
Will kangaroos, or Procoptodon, eat this for taming purposes?

Just curious!
Xandermud  [author] 21 Sep, 2016 @ 12:20pm 
Yeah, sorry about that. I doubt there will be any more updates unless something major changes with the dev kit or any more bugs show up. Glad it's working for you.
Gwynn 21 Sep, 2016 @ 9:18am 
Err yeah, I replaced my cook pot and it works again. That's a bummer for industrial cookers, but still works just fine for on the go taming :) Thanks for your help!
Gwynn 21 Sep, 2016 @ 9:10am 
I got it working yesterday! And now today it's not working again :( Do I need to break and replace the cookpots after each update?
Xandermud  [author] 19 Sep, 2016 @ 2:38pm 
Oh, it's probably helpful to mention that you need to break and replace any cooking pots/industrial cookers in order for the recipe to work. This is something that happens with any mod that adds recipes to the various vanilla crafting stations. Any pots you had placed before the mod was added won't work. This also applies to anyone who had the mod before I fixed the icon. Fixing the icon changed the item so a new pot is needed to craft the one with an icon. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Xandermud  [author] 19 Sep, 2016 @ 1:41pm 
This version does not have an engram. You just put the ingredients in the pot and light it (just like the vanilla cooking recipes). It takes 20 seconds to make a batch of 4. Make sure you are putting 4 of each crop in the pot, which is 16 total crops. Also make sure you have a water container in there with some water in it (I believe it needs to be at least 25% full).
Gwynn 19 Sep, 2016 @ 1:07pm 
None of our mods overwrite the cooking pot, but I do see on your other version of this mod that there is an engram to purchase to use the recipe. I do not see any engram available.
Xandermud  [author] 19 Sep, 2016 @ 10:15am 
Icon is fixed.
Xandermud  [author] 19 Sep, 2016 @ 9:27am 
Yes, it does work for SE. However I just noticed that there is no icon for the medley in game. Forgot to copy that part over from the other mod. Because it has no icon, it is kinda hard to see in the cooking pot. However, if it truly isn't crafting for you, you may have another mod installed that overwrites the cooking pot and adds its own. If you've double checked to make sure it's not hiding in the cooking pot and that you don't have another mod that replaces the cooking pot, then I wouldn't know what's wrong. Otherwise, I'll have a fix for the missing icon up shortly.
Gwynn 19 Sep, 2016 @ 8:16am 
Does this work with scorched earth? I was unable to get the recipe to craft in my cook pot.
Xandermud  [author] 18 Sep, 2016 @ 11:15am 
This still has a use in my eyes. Kibble requires specific eggs to make and I tend to tame only a few dinos I intend to use. Your point is taken that there isn't a *huge* gap between veggies and kibble, but there is a significant one. If I were to make an alternate recipe for a different mod, what would you have it cost, exactly? I ask because it wouldn't be for my benefit, but the community's (as I'll likely continue to use this version).
Tinywulf 18 Sep, 2016 @ 10:11am 
No point to this really, by the time you are growing veggies you are making kibble.
Since you can get prime before you can make kibble, the same needs to happen for an herbivore equalvent.

I would suggest a fruit medley of some sort, same idea right, more costly. If there was no kibble, then this would be highly valued.
