I would love to add some kind of indicator, but because of how this mod determines what you're craving, it's impossible. It's all based on a category and item names, all to keep it all as compatible with content mods as possible.

Okay this mod is super cool :o thank you for making it!

A question though. Would you be able to put the image/icon of what food you're craving on the screen somewhere? To the right of the food bar would be a nice spot unless some other popular mod uses that spot

Can confirm I also had issues consuming XP skill books before disabling this mod. I also had issues with ExpandedStomach that provides satiety to a secondary stomach once hte primary is full. I wasn't receiving satiety for single ingredient foods (anything not a meal or pie really) until I disabled this mod.

I really like this for the immersion purposes and associated challenges (my run back from the RA was really ridiculous once I ran out of precooked food, lmao. I'd never been so happy and sick of seeing cattails), so I hope some type of fix can be provided. 

Thank you for the mod!

EDIT: Nevermind, I see the general disclaimer for being incompatible with Xskills. Thank you for the mod either way!

Yes, they do work together. The config values might need some adjusting for them to fit well, but that's up to you.

Does this work well with the Novelty mod? Or should it be one or the other? 

I don't know how to be useful about helping troubleshoot, but it does seem like effects aren't always being applied correctly. I ate a bowl of stew that I was not sick of, and I got the message that some things I ate weren't so appetising, and then I got REALLY sick. It has lasted a long time, with vision getting blurry and sometimes dark in addition to focus wandering about. Really great sick effect, btw. 

I even doubled the amount of saturation needed to become sick of something in the config because it was hitting on the second bowl of the same stew, which seemed like too much. Since getting sick of something is based on saturation, I wonder if it's possible to eat a really saturating stew and blow through all the threshholds. 

Anyway, this mod has made food so much more fun. Thanks!

This mod is awesome, but it does conflict with xskills by making the xskills' skillbooks unusable, might be because you have to "eat" the books. I hope to see an update that fixes that. Looking forward to using this mod.

It was not planned that way - I'll look into it ^^

Hi, I was testing your work but I don’t see any effect on juices or wines. Is this planned that way? 🤔

This mod is awesome! Red Meat and Bush Meat proteins are pretty hard to balance with everything else early on but overall I've greatly enjoyed the required diversity of my diet. Tossed in novelty as well to have bonuses on top of the negatives from this mod. (More reward for diversity, more punishment for not!)

Awesome work, I'm super happy with this!

cool mod🙌

I kind of expected this. Both mods meddle in the eating logic (CollectibleObject.tryEatStop(...)) - mine overwrites it to provide the item eaten to the nutrient data while xSkills provides additional buffs for food. I'm not really sure how to make them compatibile, but I'll try to work something out.

It appears that the mod is incompatible with XSkills however i have not yet found the exact reason this was the error message

Honestly, I wasn't really considering the realism of the mod when making it as the real reason for its creation was my friend who was only ever eating thousands of primitive survivals' redmeat jerky instead of anything I cooked lol.

Though to answer your ideas:
- Yes, I have though about linking them to food groups in the begining (which would've been easier to do than how I did it in the end), but thb the vanilla nutrient mechanic is well balanced and there would be no real benefit in making the player eat, for example cheese, when they are already incentivized to do so. Also, being fed up with a category would mostly just punish early game where you have limited access to certain nutrients.

- Sadly, because the mod works on item codes to distinguish categories, there's no real way to show the player what exactly they're craving or are fed up with without it looking fugly :(

- Technically speaking, this is how the mod already works, but instead of the food count it keeps the satiety count. I believe you're more likely to get sick after eating 10 full cabbages than 10 berries, so satiety feels like a good balance between what is more filling. Additionally, after you reach a certain point of consumed satiety by category (2000 by default), you will get progressively less satiety from it - it's just that the default settings make it start at 53%. (80% * (9000-2000)/9000 = ~53%)

In the end I don't want the player to really keep track of the "fed ups" and cravings. It's meant to be a background process where the player starts making subconscious decissions to keep as many food items as they can instead of just going for the "meta". If you're personally feeling that the mod is being oppressive, you absolutely should increase the fedUpPoint and BoilingPoint settings in the config. ^^

From the perspective of realism, it is better to eat a variety of foods. The game only addresses this important aspect of survival through some extra hitpoints for filling the "five food groups".

There is evidence to suggest that cravings are caused by nutritional needs. There is strong evidence linking iron deficiency to pica, and cravings are also more common during the nutritionally dire time of pregnancy. I think it is fair to say that your mod makes the game more realistic. Although, I worry that it may be tedious to keep track of "FedUp" points, cravings, and all of these numbers. Instead of using a scale based on the amount of satiety you've received from a type of food (hard to keep track of), could you use the game's food groups as an indication? Perhaps you could document such data on the character screen. Perhaps "FedUp" points could start only after reaching the maximum value of a food group.

As for design elements... Maybe there could be a picture of the food you're craving on the character screen.

Another way to make this system is to keep a list of foods that the player has eaten and subtract nutritional values based on the number of times it has shown up on the list. I'm not a programmer, though. I think this is how the player character Warly from Don't Starve Together works, so I thought this information might help you.

That's actually a really great idea! I'll be sure to add it as a configurable option in the next version ^^

Interesting concept, and exactly what I was looking for.

You could also reduce nausea depending on how hungry you are. After all, kinda hard to be tired of a food when you're starving.

You'll need to check yourself. If not, then I could redownload 1.20.12 and recompile it for that version.

can this work for 1.20.12 as well?

Thanks for the report - I will look into it.

Hi, I keep getting this error on worldload (Not every time, it seems as if cravings and dislikes are reset when that happens.)

Aspiracja - Thanks anyways! will look forward to when it does get implemented!

Will still be playing this mod, even without it!

Sadly, after checking out the Sammiches code, I have to say that sandwiches are in fact not supported. I will look into supporting it in later versions though ^^

Besides ACA and Expanded Foods, could this work with Sammiches? :)

Thank you for the feedback!
I do try to keep the player in the dark as much as I can because if I show the exact values it becomes just another numbers game. Though you are right, and I should probably add some kind of a notification.

For modded items you need to know the item codes and just compile variations into a single category:
For example:
"game:cheese-cheddar" and "game:cheese-waxedcheddar" have a common "cheddar" part so I added it as such.
Categories are sorted by their length, so more specific category will always be choosen though, so if you have "redmeat" and "redmeat-cured", "redmeat-cured" will take priority, keeping the groups separated.

This is fun and I dont seem to be having any errors with it. I do wish there was more feedback. I'm not sure how to tell what the character is craving unless I happen to have it and mouse over it. And if Im eating many berries in a row (stack in hand) theres no notification when that suddenly becomes gross/unappealing so I end up getting nauseated unintentionally. A chat box message would be nice. 

Also is there a recommended format for adding modded items to the config? 

Looks fun! Gonna add this to the server me and some friends play on. Thanks for the mod.

The mod thumbnail was generated by GPT and color corrected by me using GIMP. It is likely temporary as I'll try to make something original.

Yes, all mushrooms (So items that contain "mushroom" in their item code) are in the same category. I will most likely split it into separate categories down the line.

Hello! Was just wondering for the mushroom food group, does it include poisonous mushrooms? I wasn't sure how to test it in-game so I thought I'd ask, thank you in advance!

Who's the author of that art piece?

Really cool idea

Thanks so much! Good to know.

Meals are based on ingredients used so you are still encouraged to cook, just with different things.
It should be compatible with expanded foods, but some things might not be grouped together as expected (All foods will be their own category by default). To fix any content mod compatibilities all oneself needs to do is fill up categories in the config file based on item codes.
One thing I'm not sure about is compatibility with XSkills and will test it as soon as possible.

I love this idea! Does it change cravings based on ingredients or meal type? And is it compatible with expanded foods?

This is so cool! 

Definitely gonna add it to the mod pile!
