This mod gives a health reward for eating a greater variety of foods and using the various food mechanics in the game. The goal is to encourage the player to grow more foods, perserve more foods, forage more foods, and use more of the cooking mechanics.
The player is granted diversity points for eating foods that meet the criteria of the food achievements. Each achievement can only be earned once (unless it is forgotten through death), so such that eating another food in the same category does not earn any additional points. The diversity points are converted into health points using a semi-logarithmic function.
When the player dies, 30% of their achieved foods are lost (configurable with the gourmandDeathPenalty worldconfig).
The design doc has more details about the internals of the mod.
Food achievements
- Food types - 1 point for each food code
- Meals - 10 points per type of meal (like meatystew), with a bonus of 100 after eating all 6 types
- Pies - 2 points per type of pie, with a bonus of 100 points after eating 32 types
- Pickled foods
- Breads
- Climate spanning - 50 points for eating meals that require crops from hot and cold climates
- Mushrooms
- Juices
- Ciders
- Poisons
Finding what to eat next
Open the character dialog ('c' hotkey), and go to the Gourmand tab. First it lists any foods that were lost through death. You likely have these ingredients on hand and want to eat these again first. Following that, it shows all of the food categories and any foods that have not been eaten yet in that category.
FAQ
Instead of rewarding the player for eating a variety of foods, can you punish them for eating the same food too often?
The base game already punishes the player for eating too narrow of a diet. There's not much room for improvement on this mechanic.
Can you give a greater variety of buffs than just increased health?
There are other mods that provide buffs to other stats, like foraging. Adding those buffs in Gourmand would cause some server owners to view Gourmand as conflicting with those other mods or the class system.
Also Elephant Studios is working on a mod called Gluttony that would give a variety of buffs for eating different foods.

Quiche sorry, I can't reproduce it. This is probably going to take some back and forth to fix. Can you file a bug in the issue tracker with more info? You can also ping me on Discord.
Very curious bug! Seems that when it is dark that the info box gets nighttime as well?
DeanBro thanks, I added it to the 1.0.1 release.
Hi bluelightning32
I made a translation for your mod
Looking forward to testing this and hopefully implementing this on our server. Gourmand seems like a very fun way to buff up, RP moments to order specific foods and motivate cooks sell more than just super pies and god breads.
Buggi Thanks
Congrats on the debut of your new mod!
I'm still in the phase of playing vintage story more than designing mods for it, so I haven't played with expanded foods yet-- I'm eyeing it for a future run after I've had my fill and done most of the things in the base game. But if you still need this sort of thing by the time I'm actually exploring it I'll offer what I can.
Parvum I haven't tested compatibility with Expanded Foods. The food achievements are written in a very extensible way. My guess is that most of the expanded foods would be recognized, but they may end up adding more values to the existing achievements, and thus end up with completion bonuses that are too low (too each to achieve). Any feedback from play testing with the mod would be appreciated.
The bigger issue is that Gourmand doesn't have any achievements specifically designed around Expanded Foods. This is the part I really need help on. I haven't used Expanded Foods enough to know what all the mechanics are, and how much the player should be rewarded for trying them (how difficult they are). If you can design some Expanded Foods achievements for me, please use a format similar to the "Food achievements" section of the design doc. Basically:
I can translate that info into the matchers that the Gourmand uses to identify the foods. The matchers a little complicated because many of the foods share the same block code (such as game:bowl-meal) but represent different foods based on the item stack attributes. Also Gourmand has to be able to both match foods and enumerate foods that match achievements, whereas the game never enumerates most of the foods (most pies and meals are not shown in the handbook).
If you're up for it, you can send me the info on Discord. You can find me in the main Vintage Story Discord server.
Does this mod recognize all the different foods from Expanded Food?
That changlog for 9.0 is not what I thought I' d see in this game lol
