Known Issues:
A few recipes do not recognise the modded meats as intended, and will not accept them as valid ingredients when cooking or baking. This is because they call for wrapped meat specifically, rather than ingredients tagged as such.
All other recipes work as intended.
Ever wanted to have your werewolf hunt for the entire family, but found you can't cook the meat they bring back? Or maybe you have a garden of Cruelty-Free Meat 'plants', but no recipes that use their produce? This mod aims to fix that, and allows both to be used in more recipes.
There are three of flavours of the mod, and a file containing all configs that can be mixed and matched.
What does this mod fix?
When Cottage Living released, the meat ingredient was replaced with wrapped red and wrapped white. This change meant that most recipes now require wrapped meat specifically, and cannot use other ingredients tagged as meat. The Raw Meat item from Werewolves, for example, cannot be used in place of wrapped red.
The Cottage Living pack itself also breaks Faux Meat Cubes from Eco Lifestyle, as many recipes now call for the canned meat substitute. Meat substitute can be made with faux meat, however other vegetables are preferred by the game, making it difficult to actually use the cubes.
Home Chef Hustle introduces prepped ingredients, however these also call for wrapped meat and (if installed) Cottage Living's meat substitute, meaning that neither raw meat nor faux meat cubes can be used.
This mod simply adds the relevant tags to Raw Meat (Werewolves) and Faux Meat Cube (Eco Lifestyle), allowing the ingredients to be used in place of wrapped meats and meat substitute in recipes.
