FarmLife - 1.5.4

This version adds buffs to some drink items that can be crafted. It also addresses a couple bugs. Upppps.

Go to this webpage to download.

Fixed

Wine was giving the incorrect buffs.

Removed a display type tag helper that was no longer necessary and giving warnings.

Added

Updated wine, beer, and mixed drink buff descriptions with their relevant effects.

Liquid Veg now gives Vitamin B buff. Stam regen buff.

Orange Juice now gives Vitamin C buff. A miniature version of herbal meds. Will attempt to remove level 0 diseases.

Lemon Lime Coolaid now gives Sugar Rush. Basically a free level of pack mule while active. 4 bag slots unlocked.

Milk now gives Strong Bones. Instantly removes sprained leg debuff. Will apply a splint to a broken leg.

There is a new drink type in items.xml to make it easier to add things to drink.

Version 1.6

This release wraps up what I had planned for 1.5. While I know there are a lot of missing descriptions, etc. I will get these lingering issues resolved once I finish up the next 2 systems, meat and crafting stations. Till then...

Enjoy!

 
FarmLifeMod 1.6.0

Go to this webpage to download.

Big release to add meats! For now there are 2 types of pens you can build. Holstein for milk and Angus for beef.

The models are place holders, sorry! Empty pallets mean an empty pen. Tarp means the fellows are feeding and growing. Boxes means they are ready to harvest. These are multi-block blocks now in prep for when I add custom models. 3x3 area required per pen. They don't stack.

To farm meat and milk:

- build pens

- craft cattle feed

- upgrade the pens with feed and a pitch fork

- wait for them to stop feeding and become full

- harvest full pens to get meat and milk

Changed

Fixed fruit trees to use Maple20Prefab. I’m am very happy with the results and won’t be changing again until custom models :D

Removed powdered milk recipes

Powdered Milk is still there but doesn’t do anything anymore. Didn’t remove because don’t want to cause bugs.

Fixed food/water cvars changes for a17

New Items

Pitch Fork

Feeding Trough

Cattle Feed

Empty Holstein Pen

Empty Angus Pen

Delmontico

Rump Roast

Porterhouse

Raw Milk

Butter

Buttery Delmontico

Rump Roast Stew

Red Wine and Peppercorn Porterhouse

TODO

I am going to be adding veal, chickens, and elk. Once those are in I’ll be moving on to crafting stations, hopefully over the weekend.

After that I’ll start looking at doing icons and descriptions since there are known ways these will be handled post release of the game. Unfortunately localization changes require manual steps by the client and I’m not happy about that at all.

3d modeling will be once I have everything working and I’m happy with the results. I make every attempt to keep this mod playable on MP servers without client downloads.

Harvesting angus has a chance to give the 3 new types of beef cuts. I tested this a little but may need to increase the chances. It seems to work fine with level 5 hunter perk and machete. Feedback appreciated.

 
Sneak peak at next release. Adding a bunch new things to play with: a new tree, new things to use milk to make, more meats of course.

Experimenting with multi step recipes for those dishes that require more than 5 ingredients. Should be a lot of fun in the kitchen next release :D

Changed




- Harvesting a full pen now returns an empty bucket to replace the one used creating feed.

- Blocks.xml clean up, some xml props that were duplicated or in the wrong place.

-Removed Crushed Tomatoes and Wheat Flour from cannedfood loot group. There is no reason to clutter up the loot with things you are supposed to make :)

-Salt and Pepper are still in the cannedfood loot as they are slightly harder to acquire and are required by the majority of recipes now and new ones coming down the pipe.

Notes




For this release I’ve been playing around with how to do complex recipes to make food in a more realistic fashion. Normally when you are cooking it isn’t just throw a bunch of crap in a pot and cook it all at once. You have to sauté garlic and onions. You have to add liquids then reduce, some ingredients take longer than others, etc. The idea of multi step recipes, specifically for cooking, seems like a good approach.

The main down side is the complexity can’t be really described very well in the recipes UI currently. I’m going to look at adding cookbook items that explain how to make the more complicated items more clearly, with a recipe list so you can get everything in order before you start and not have to keep going back to your boxes a million times. I’ll investigate this for the next release. I plan to keep all very complicated recipes postfixed with “Step X” to make it at least easy to find a starting point for these items.

Salt and pepper are common in many dishes, so I created a new salt and pepper item that you make (obviously) by combining salt and pepper. This reduces the clutter in recipes and, since only 5 ingredients show in the UI, helps save space for more complexity.

Cheese is a work in progress until I can add crafting stations, but the components are mostly there (raw milk, milk, briney water). Will be adding whey when I do yogurt and kimchi in a later release. Probably after crafting stations.

Veal will be a required substance for all the pasta dishes I make moving forward. I plan to rework the existing pasta meal into a veggie version, but any other pastas will require veal. Pastas are going to be something you eat at base, or have a meal with friends. They will heal and feed you fully, and stack with wine to give you other benefits, but they will have a stack size of 1. They are intended to make and eat fresh, not lug around in your bag. I’ll implement this change once crafting stations are completed.

For Elk I am focusing on different types of preserved meat. For now there is just one type, but I plan to really expand on dried meats and add specific long lasting (hour or more) buffs, increased stack sizes, etc to make them suitable for long looting trips that last more than a day. This will be quite the opposite of pasta foods :)

Until the next release, enjoy!

Is it just me, or the grilled meats don't give you anything? 0 stamina & 0 health? :-/

Also, I've broken many rocks, but have yet to find any halite (maybe it's in the big rocks only, not the "metal" ones?).

Not just the meats, the salad and some of the other foods I have tried say the same thing. I haven't tried to make any in the past few days so it may have changed. Also, I think I haven't found any halite or peppercorn seed either. I have found a few salt and a few pepper but that is about it.

I found a few Halite, lets call them blocks, in those big rocks (not a single one in those little metal boulders), but the food seems to be bugged... I'm pressed to find piggies, so I can make bacon and eggs.

 
in 17.1 the Pimps changed the coding for food. if you guys can you can have a look in the items.xml

look for anything with

"foodAmount"

the new code pimps use is "$foodAmountAdd"

all my food became broken as well in my mod and i had to change all those values. same with water

"waterAmount" becomes "$waterAmountAdd"

 
Did a quick search through the modfiles, and its all using the new code. I noticed that in the vanilla buffs.xml, it uses both the new and the old tho. And in the modfiles there are no "foodamount" or "$foodAmountAdd" references at all. No idea if any of that has anything to do with things not working, just thought I could share my observations just in case :)

 
I updated the mod to use the new food and water cvars. I did test eating the new foods I added last night. I’ll go back and retest the other foods as well.

Peppercorn was the last seed I found on my server :)

Halite is definitely there but you have to destroy the block to have a chance at getting it.

- - - Updated - - -

I’ll look into making pepper and salt more available from lootable items, like shakers that you can break down into salt or pepper. ;)

 
All seeds have the same % to be found. Though I’ve been unable to find any seeds at the traders except vanilla hops.

- - - Updated - - -

I’ll try to do a quick test this morning while I’m at work but the latest release should fix the food and drink issues :)

 
Food is definitely working, however I did find a bug with the fruit and vegetable juices that give buffs :)

I'll push out an update with a couple fixes today around lunch.

 
It’s possible that existing saves are borked. I’ll check my server tonight. Basically you never need to eat anymore so I have not really tested on my server.

I’m adding a new modlet that once you are past a certain level of progression you have to eat and drink more often. Right now there is no reason to eat or drink except buffs once you are over level 100. This will be separate but compatible with FarmLifeMod.

 
FarmLifeMod 1.6.2

Go -> ClickMe <- to download the release file.

A quick couple of fixes/changes based on feedback from the forums. Keep it coming guys!

Changed

Fixed some drinks so that they give water values now. This was horked up due to a bad xpath, not cvars (set -> append)

Hopefully fixed the issue where full pens do not return buckets. I didn't have a chance to test this yet but it *should* be fixed.

Added

Salt Shaker and Black Pepper Tin items can now be looted or bought from traders. They can be converted to 10 salt and 10 black pepper accordingly. They should appear fairly regularly in cupboards (hopefully).

Enjoy :)

Right now halite can't be farmed from the the small boulders. Halite mines are generally deep underground IRL. While the big boulders use the same material as underground stone, it is more realistic to find halite underground than on the surface. If the game ever introduces the concept of salt water versus fresh water, I would add a way to extract sea salts. I'm hopeful this change would come but I've never seen a thread about it before :)

 
As a huge fan of Project Zomboid let me say that this mod is absolutely fantastic. I LOVE the attention to detail in all the foods and ingredients. Great work!

Thank you! That means a lot to me!

I try to be very detail oriented and thoughtful about the design of everything. There will definitely be unique paths for food crafting so each has a specific purpose. Right now I’m still learning all the new xml changes as well as designing things as I go. I have a plan in my head, just have to get it into XML :)

I’m going to have a huge task for adding assets when I’m done with all these items though. LOL
