Simple Cooking

Lets you grill veggies and fish (and whatever else you allow) over a campfire or brazier.


Overview

Once installed, this mod adds grilled versions of every fish and vegetable in the game, letting you place raw fish or vegetables on a campfire or brazier and receive grilled versions.

To cook an item, hold it, walk next to the fire and press the tool use button (e.g. Left Mouse Button).

Grilling takes 10 minutes for vegetables and fish.

Leaving vegetables or fish on for 30 minutes or more will turn them into coal.

Turning off the fire will pause cooking.

Cooked items emit light smoke that gets darker as they approach burnt state.



Advanced

You can set any object to be cookable using Content Patcher, e.g.:

{

  "Format": "2.7.0",
  "Changes": [
    {
      "Action": "EditData",
      "Target": "aedenthorn.SimpleCooking/cookable",
      "Entries": {
        "74": {
          "ProductID": "(O)279",
          "BurntID": "(O)305",
          "PlacedSound": "clank",
          "CookedSound": "yoba",
          "BurntSound": "debuffHit",
          "ShowSmoke": true,
          "CookTime": 60,
          "Burned": 3
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

This makes Prismatic Shards cookable, producing Magic Rock Candy (or Void Eggs if burnt). Cook time is in minutes, "Burned" is a multiplier for CookTime, so in this case 60 minutes to cook, 180 minutes until burnt.


Technical
