Craftable Nutri-Rations (Lore and Vanilla friendly)
I decided to make my own "ration crafting" mod, since I didn’t feel like making the regular ration packs craftable was very interesting.
This mod includes a custom icon, and a custom model for the nutri-rations, made by me!
Research Requirements:
– Tech Level 5
– Must have researched Cooking & Baking
Materials needed:
– 1x Ancient Nutri-Rations
– 1x Ai Core
– 2x Ancient Science Book
Crafting Recipe:
– 10x Hemp
– 8x Strawflour
– Use a Cooking Stove to craft the rations once you have completed the required research.

Other thoughts:
The Ancient Nutri-Rations description describes the item as a "Dense cake", thus I felt strawflour was a natural choice for an ingredient. Hemp seeds are also very nutritious, and the fats and oils within the seeds would aid in food preservation. Hemp can also be refined into linen and cellophane in the real world, which gives implication to it being used for the ration’s wrap in-game.
I decided to make the ingredients different from the ‘1x Foodcude, 1x Dried meat’ requirements listed for the regular ration packs, since it’s goofy to me to think the first or second empire was smashing meat and foodcubes together in such a way that would allow them to be preserved for thousands of years.
I also believe the science requirements and negative profitability balance out the easily farmed ingredients.
Let me know if you have any issues, and I’ll be sure to patch it up!
