TrueVanilla Food and Farming Tweaks v.1.3.1
I realized I’ve been subscribed to so many mods that do tiny things, so I’m working on individual mods to eventually add together in my own pack. I’m trying to stay as close to vanilla as possible, while making small changes in the spirit of the game.
In this mod I did a variety of tweaking to various aspects of farming. While hemp is intended to be incredibly efficient/versatile/good, it’s so good that it overshadows many other crops. Greenfruit for whatever reason have a very (annoyingly) small output by default, causing it to be a pain when you’re trying to do your conga line of Gohan or Foodcubes.
In addition, I modified values of certain food to add more balance. The gaps in efficiency with food are pretty glaring issues in vanilla Kenshi, and this mod aims to fix that.
Some of the changes include:
– Greenfruit, Cactus, and Cotton output increased to be comparable to Riceweed.
– Water is now acquired at x5 time rate. Water is such a massive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pain in the base game that I STILL recommend installing a moisture farm mod regardless.
– Certain crops can now be grown in more areas. For example, Cacti can thrive in any climate, Greenfruit now in swamps as well, Rice in temperate areas, etc.
– Previously uncraftable foods such as Ration Packs and Dried Fish are now craftable. In addition, so are Dried Gristle Flaps and Bloodrum but I do not recommend messing with those as it’s still experimental. Research is required for these.
– Hydroponic Cacti and Cotton are now researchable and functional, costing and behaving the same as all Hydroponic farms. Their research requirements are similar as well.
– Food charge/nutrition adjustments. Bread, rice, meatwraps, cooked vegetables, were all buffed in major or minor ways to make them worthwhile options.
UPDATE (8/31):
– Adjusted output of Riceweed to match newly tweaked crops.
– Most crops and water are now stackable, as well as some foods.
– Added and revised descriptions for some items.
UPDATE: 09/03/21
– fixed Foodcube texture so it isn’t all ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up anymore
UPDATE 09/08/21:
– Altered name of mod file to match other TrueVanilla mods, making it easier to see/sort them in load order.
This is still a work in-progress. I would absolutely love feedback about your thoughts, experiences, etc.
