Heya Stasis, Left a short comment on your video showing off the new pitchfork and KitchNaid, figured I'd fire off something a little more useful here. Been puttering around with the mod since you first released it, and love seeing it grow and develop. I lost hope of anything like this after Valmod was left in the dust of A16, but you've done an amazing job bringing life to the wasteland. I've gotten into a ritual of grabbing a hamburger and stout every time I trudge back to my base after roaming the world.
There is such an abundance of things to do that there are times I'm honestly annoyed when a wandering zombie comes around and disturbs me, deeply offended even. Damn rotters interrupting my batch of merlot! Can't wait to play with a proper Glenlivet distillery. About the only thing that bothers me at all is that the pens seem to produce a small amount of produce considering the amount of effort in building/maintaining them. My Huntsman is at rank 3, and getting anything more than a few cuts of meat hasn't happened. I'm a butcher/fishmonger IRL, and just from a single prime rib roast (7 bone) that's 7 good sized ribeyes off one set of ribs, not even counting the ribs themselves.
Brewing and such is a blast, the quests are simple, and get things rolling nicely. Out of curiousity, would it be possible to make actual recipe posters with ingredients and such to hang on the walls? A custom "Stasis Brewhouse" sign would be a hoot hanging on the front of my little hootch hut.
Gin, single malt/ blended whisky, rum, tequila, moonshine, sake, (though for that you'd need a rice crop, which would open up a bunch of new cooking recipes!) all come to mind. Since we already have potatoes and corn all we'd really need are rye/barley for whisky.
I consider your mod, Manux's vehicles, and Mayic's firearms mod to be essential. Those 3 add almost everything I need to the game: hootch and grub, a trusty M1 Garand, and a wicked cool dirtbike, everything a growing boy needs in the wasteland.

Thanks for the feedback!
I did adjust pens to give more meat but at lower levels it’s not as good for the time spent, I completely agree. I will do some testing tonight and bump up the rewards for harvesting pens so they work better at lower levels
I want to look at adding recipes. For beer I added a quest that walks you through the process for IPA. But having an item with these ingredients, stations, and tools would be better. I’ll see what I can do
I would love to do custom signs. That’s a great suggestion.
Thanks again for the feedback I really appreciate it and I’m glad that it brings you more fun in the game

Yeah that looks really nice Cool that youre considering signs and such Was actually thinking about making recipe posters and such myself, nice both for reference and looks cool. And its really easy to make. Depends on the design ofcourse, but the Unity part is pretty straightforward for things like that.

# FarmLifeMod 1.8.0 (STABLE)
Release files, click on them, don't right click download.

HAVE ICON UPDATES
NO MODEL UPDATES
Brewing guide is here. Spirits are here and ready for you to get your drink on. You can get your mafia style on with some Bolognese.
Also... Stable is here!
## Changed
- All quests now give 500 xp instead of 1000 xp
- Items that require cans no longer give them back on use (see notes)
- Fixed block placement for stations. They now face you when placing, except for Cooktop...
- Mojito now use White Rum instead of grain drinkJarGrainAlcohol like it should ;p
- Eating Bolognese Dish now imparts the Sicilian buff (see notes)
- Increased all meat, egg, milk harvest values. You should get some good stuff now if you have any type of huntsman bonus.
- Added economic values to drinks. Bumped up all economic values on food to a point where selling could be profitable. Needs more testing, but its better
- Removed Variety Seed Crate, there are quests that replace this item (it was a quick hack)

Sicilian (buff) - I feel like a Made Man. I have a boost to Fortitude, Heal Over Time, and Stamina Regen.
## Notes
There is now a quest chain to craft IPA. It walks through the steps and then gives you some free beer (and xp).
There are a couple items that require cans to make which would return the can on use. Due to some changes in my modlet, I'm not longer going to support giving back the can on use. I will fix this in v2 when I have better control over generating XML. Right now the level of effort to fix this far out weighs an empty can. Sorry!
Spirits are here. You can now craft Vodka, Whiskey, Rum, and Scotch. Now before anyone get up in a bunch about the ingredients, these are ligit ways to make all of these. You can **absolutely** argue it is not "the best way" to make each item. It works and its in. I will change it in the future but not today Spirits will reuse the mixology buff for now.
Making the Bolognese Dish is extremely time consuming and requires a lot of work. Well now it is worth it for the Sicilian. This buff lasts half again as long as a magazine buff, gives 1 Fortitude, an aggressive heal over time buff, and some regen stamina bonuses. This buff is ideal for taking on a horde night. Often times those bleed effects are nasty and take some time to heal. This buff will help mitigate some of the bleed damage and allow even regular bandages to be viable again a horde. With more Fortitude and Stamina regeneration, you can get an edge over those green bastards.
I took a final pass at meat and economic values. They should be much better based on feedback I've received.
## What does 'stable' mean exactly?
These developery terms are absolutely confusing, and also ambiguous, so I will try to explain.
For Farm Life, stable means that I will no longer be adding or removing any items, blocks, recipes, buffs, loot tables, or quests. I may modify existing things as bug reports come in or when Syn adds new assets.
What this means to *you* is that item tables will not change if you update to any version of 1.8.x. This means that you won't suffer from any unintended item shifting.
## What are you going to do now? Whats going to happen to Farm Life?
Well FIRST I'm going to go play the game for a while. I've been focused on this mod for some time and need to take a break ;p
Seriously though. If bugs come up or Syn adds new assets, I'll post an update.
I have huge plans for the future and Farm Life v2 is going to be absolutely massive, easier to maintain, MUCH faster to add new items and recipes and growing things. It is not out of the question that I will add over 1000 items in total for version 2. Right now I need to build some tools to help me manage something on that scale. Manually editing xml files is not sustainable anymore
Till next time, enjoy!!!!!

Glad to see you adjusted the pens output. I had to harvest it twice just to complete the quest.Thanks for the feedback!

Wow, thank you so much for all your hard work! As requested, more garden pictures:

Thank you! The deer wandered in there while I was taking pictures and I thought it was a nice addition!
I'm not sure how to record gameplay, but perhaps I'll look into it once we've got some of the rest of the place cleaned up. We're still working on the inside of the house.
