As usual, I don't like adding completely new features or content because I believe in "Keep it Simple Stupid". This mod makes a very simple adjustment where cooked cattailroots and papyrusroots become soaked cassava instead of the useless rhizome food. The soaked cassava was renamed to "Bush Potato" and basically covers all four of those types of roots.

Special thanks to SpearAndFang on Discord for helping me with the language file! I was banging my head against the wall for like three hours! My hero!

Echoweaver Hello my friend! I'm back from my extended leave of absence from video games. It was... well I got of lot of writing done between smoking like a chimney and just swimming in perpetual anxiety and stress. I've decided to quit smoking and to come back to video games instead. So I'm back. Thank you so much for trying to make it work while I was away! I'm a voracious problem solver and I do love this game. So I'm going to try and start updating my installation tomorrow and experiment with the new update a bit. I love my mods so I'm sure it won't be long before I try and get them working again one by one. Thank you again for trying to help!

I love this mod, and I'm sad to report that in 1.21, it prevents raw vegetables from being eaten from the hand. I'm not clear why this has happened to all veggies, and I'll take a look to see if it's an easy fix. I like TaimatCompany's modding strategy. I don't know if they have left modding or not.

ETA: Yeah, it's not obvious at a glance. It will take more digging. Too bad.

TaimatCompany Expanded Foods has cooked roots which can be crafted with a knife to chop into diced root. I don't know if its incompatible, it may either crash from a conflict or your mod overule's it.

 

Doesn't crash, just makes your recipie not come out when cooked.

Hydromancerx fair enough, but I made this mod more out of the desire to cook cattail, tule, and papyrus roots :) "bush potato" just happened to make sense.

The running joke that until potatoes are added to the base game there will be like a dozen potato mods. LOL

RowanSkie Hm. Yeah probably not. I don't use expanded foods so I hadn't built it with that in mind. What does expanded foods do with the cooked roots?

RowanSkie, May 15th 2025 at 2:47 PM

I assume this isn't compatible with Expanded Foods? The thing modifies the cooked roots.
