New: More Food Recipes – 18 dishes, 18 drinks and three kitchen machines
My greenhouse grows so much, and in the end I still eat muffins. Not any more: pizza, risotto, cake, coffee and lemonade – cooked, mixed and sealed by three machines.
In my saves the greenhouse eventually grows everything: potatoes, mushrooms, rice, strawberries, pumpkins. Still, I ate almost nothing but muffins and canned soup. More Food Recipes finally turns that into a kitchen.
The mod adds 18 dishes – from potato soup through mushroom risotto, potato gratin and pumpkin gnocchi to vegetable pizza, strawberry cake and popcorn – and 18 drinks, from grain coffee and hot chocolate through juices and lemonade to a smoothie and an energy drink. Everything is made from the game's ingredients; you cook dough, tomato sauce and roasted grain yourself as intermediate products.
You do not cook by hand but in three new machines with their own models. The Auto Kitchen has six ingredient slots, a water connection and chutes for ingredients and finished dishes. You pick a recipe with a button, or let AUTO-DETECT decide: it then cooks the richest recipe its slots allow. In SINGLE every START makes exactly one portion, in CONTINUOUS it keeps going until you press STOP. The Drinks Dispenser puts the mug or bottle under the spout and visibly fills it – hot drinks into mugs, cold drinks into bottles, which come back empty after drinking. And the Sealing Machine moves dishes and drinks along its conveyor under the press and seals them with foil or caps – sealed food no longer spoils; you open it by holding right click, so nothing opens by accident.
It was important to me that everything feels like the game's own food: the game calculates nutrition, mood, food quality and spoilage itself, fridges work, and no drink quenches thirst better than water. Coffee and the energy drink keep you awake, fern tea helps against poisoning. The machines sit on the data cable and can be fully controlled with IC10, with a display at eye level, LEDs, the game's own sounds, paint and rotation with C + mouse wheel.
The game's food, devices and recipes stay unchanged, existing saves load as usual. The server and all players need the mod. With my Skill & Level System cooking also gives experience. All recipes are in the guide. As always in German and English – enjoy your meal!
