After the update I can no longer Extract Honey and Wax from a Honeycomb. The honeycomb wont show up as valid ingredient. However the other recipes with honeycomb work correctly.

Also I noticed bird, chicken/turkey and fish meats do not have a wax option. Important for CDDA survival runs as most farm animals are dead but you still can catch birds or fish.

What fish do wasps catch when used as bait? I've only managed to pull trash with them

I know we're able to make dyes, so do you think there could be a way to craft paint as well? Just an idea I'd love to see in the game sometime

very cool, but i find honey too easy, it will be great to have sandbox option to set this and other paramethers

@ShiftShade i will look into that, i dont know how yet, but my HydeCo. Unlimited Cars! Mod deals with sandbox options so i can probably cobble it together with a bit of reasearch, ill start with being able to disable cheese recipes as you requested. it makes sense other mods are much more expansive when it comes to foods.! Ill see what i can do thankyou for that suggestion!

@HydeTheBooty98 can confirm, it's working on linux. Mind you that windows now has the option to set the OS in case-sensitive mode for files.
Shiftshade 4 Sep @ 11:13am 
Now this is a dependency for the clay mod can it at least have configuration options to disable unwanted recipes?

In particular i would like to disable the cheese making recipes as this are already covered by other popular cooking focused mods...

Should see a hot fix patch here in a few minutes. @Chuck? :spiffo::cxxlbuild:
