Description:

600 new items, recipes and evolved recipes have been carefully crafted with long term survival in mind. Once the supermarkets have run out and your stash dries up, you’ll find countless new ways to keep your survivor well fed.

We’ve got everything from new types of bread and dough. Fermentation, with a sourdough starter, homemade beer and wine, yeast and vinegar. Sugar beets as a grow-able alternative to sugar. A complete dairy expansion, along with aging cheese mechanics and plenty of uses for both cow and sheep milk. New evolved recipes, including stock and bone broth. Food containers to store your leftovers. Homemade versions of so many foods, and much, much more. Check out the wiki[jiizzy.notion.site] or discussions for more information!

Vanilla Foods Expanded adds over 2300 new foods, recipes and evolved recipes that are similar in style and use to base game. You can find:

Canned foods, such as meats, vegetables, fruits, soup, stew and bait
Jars and new canning recipes
Herbs, spices and seasonings
Sauces, relishes and dressings
Pantry staples, snacks, candy and breakfast foods
Desserts, such as cake mixes and pudding
Fresh fruit and vegetables
Fresh meat and seafood
Fridge and freezer foods
Beverages
New recipes and evolved recipes

Vanilla spawn rates remain the same, there won’t be an overwhelming amount of food in the world, just a lot more variety. 3D models have been created for every item.

Discover thousands of new items across every imaginable category, all carefully designed to be similar in style to base game
Everything comes in multiple flavors and varieties
Find recipe books scattered throughout your world that unlock new cooking possibilities, letting you create authentic, home cooked meals
Pour it into a bowl, or make it into a plate – a lot of recipes can be dished up into individual servings
Baking! Start with convenient box mixes for a quick and tasty treat, then progress to learning recipes that allow you to bake everything from scratch
Craft new evolved recipes, including casseroles, curry, lasagna, loaded baked potatoes, nachos, chili, ramen, milkshakes, fried rice and dozens more!
Season your creations with an extensive collection of herbs, spices and seasoning blends, to perfect every dish
Craft countless homemade versions of common items and base game items

Can be added to an existing save, just be mindful that areas already explored won’t have the new loot. As far as we’ve tested, it can be safely removed from a save, just be mindful you will lose all Vanilla Foods Expanded loot.

With thousands of items added, it’s impossible to detail everything in just a description. So just load in, and start exploring for yourself. Or check out the wiki, it’s a complete guide on everything added to Vanilla Foods Expanded, upcoming changes I’m currently working on, and more!

Vanilla Foods Expanded is an ever-growing project, and while there are thousands of items already, our plans haven’t stopped here. If you have anything you’d like to see added, check out the discussions and let us know!

A very special thank you goes out to Aatheom, whose invaluable contributions helped bring this project to life. From creating models, timed actions, detailed hand props, French translation and so much more – his dedication and expertise made this possible. It is as much his creation, as it is my own.

A further thank you is extended to the whole of the modding community, who have supported this entire journey. What began as a small project years ago, has grown into something far beyond what I imagined, thanks to their advice, support and encouragement.
