It is possible to rename the plates with food on them?

This mod makes playing a cook so much more enjoyable. Especially in multiplayer, but it's also so nice to be able to keep individual servings instead of having to hold a (very heavy) frying pan and eat 1/4 at a time. lol

People have said it before, but still
This should be vanilla

@Shuvok I am happy to hear that you find my mod useful, I am planning to add more stuff like tapewares and other way to conserve food once the big crafting update will be released later this year. Thanks for the suggestion !

This is so good, should be vanilla, how annoying it is to carry a full frying pan on my bag for every meal... It'd be awesome if we could add stuff like tapewares to take on long loot trips but that would make this a lot more complex lol
Imagine bottles for soup and stuff like IRL... Anyways, this is plenty, and pretty awesome, thanks bro

Dude, no need to apologize, you are giving us something for free. I'm thanking you for even trying. It's just a sugestion.

@Joe78man Maybe but i don't plan to update or change the mod for now sorry. I will update it and add what you ask after the big crafting update later this year

but you can make 1 bowl of soup with 1 single bowl, that's whay i'm saying, you can use the same mechanic from the bowls and stews

@Joe79man because this mod use the same code as the soup and stew from the base game, i am juste reusing the vanilla function

why 2? i wonder. Can't you make it that the original food container is reduced the amount of 1 plate of food?

@KoxinoKlo Yes !

@KoxinoKlo Yes! I just added it to my own ongoing MP server a couple days ago

is it possible to install it on an already started server?

@CrispyChestnuts of course you can make a patch for sapph's mod ! you can also add and DM me on steam if needed

do you mind if i take a look at your mod and try to make a sapph's patch for the other dishes?

I wonder if the mod "Load All Magazines" can give you some insight into how to solve the problem....

@NinKirin Yes this is a very plausible cause for this issue

I think from my experience this is due to something related to the items used for the recipe which in this case is the plates. (I believe this is to be the case due to an odd interaction with food and traps that I had found a while back)

For example, let's say you have 4 plates, plate # 1, 2, 3 and 4 and 2 stir fries, stir fry # 1 and 2. If you tried to choose "Make 2 plates of stir fry meals" and you choose the "All" option, I believe that the game would attempt to use Plate # 1 and 2 to plate stir fry # 1, and for some reason since you had chosen the "All" option, stir fry # 2 also attempts to use Plates # 1 and 2 as well instead of Plates # 3, and 4.

However, since Plate # 1 and 2 was used by stir fry # 1 it cannot complete the action and doesn't even attempt to use Plate # 3 and 4, so it halts the process.

That's my guess, but honestly, it's a guess in the end so it may be 100% wrong lol

@NinKirin i see what you mean now. I looked into it and not a single error is printed in the log when using the all option. I think this is somehow a limitation of the game. This mod is based on the code for pouring stew into empty bowl and the "all" option is also not working with stew and empty bowl from the base game. So i am not sure how to fix this nor if this is fixable sorry

I only use the right click menu honestly, never actually used the crafting menu before. What I mean is this, shown in the image linked below,

The fridge has a few more stir fries, which is why I have this option, and since I usually cook in large batches I end up spending a bit of time plating my food since the "All" option doesn't work

@NinKirin I am not sure of what you mean by "all" option because in don't have such option. When plating food, try using the right click menu in your inventory instead of the crafting menu (see the last gif in the mod image)

Hi, when plating food, I try to "Make 2 plates of stir fry meals" and when I click the "All" option, it only does it once, making 2 plates of stir fry meals. Is there a way to make this work?

@Q17 No problem !

@ISuckYourSoul <3 okay thank you very much

@Q17 you need 2 or 4 bowl in your inventory. Here is the wiki page if you want : https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Bowl_of_Soup

@ISuckYourSoul <3 really? How? I have a bowl in inventory, I have a pot of soup in inventory as well, and nothing in context menu or crafting menu

@Q17 you can pour soup into a bowl in the vanilla game

Any chance you could make it so that it would be possible to pour soup into a bowl? It sucks to eat it from a pot.

@diabolicdoctor sure !

Hi, we are using this mod on our Roleplay-Server "FallenLands" and I would like to ask if it would be ok to add it to our Modpack, of course with full credits given?

why it needs 2 plates even the player is one?

@The Vigilante Also be sure to have 2 or more plates in your inventory

@The Vigilante You need to cook food inside a Frying Pan, Roasting Pan or Gridle Pan
( https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Griddle_Pan - https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Frying_Pan - https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Roasting_Pan )

What exactly do you need to cook food in that allows it to be transferred to the plates? Because so far I have tried multiple times but no prompt to plate the food doesn't show up.

@FlyingSquid96 You need to enable both

do i have to enable both mods for the nutrient bonus? or just the 2nd mod

@Zoomies That very strange as i thought putting :
"imports
{
base
}"
At the beginning of the script file would prevent this issue.
Anyway, i swapped out "Plate" for "Base.Plate" for the three items.
Thanks you for looking into this, I hope this will fix the issue

@Zoomies that's it! the dread bug I too was searching for!

Mod author, the fix Zoomies suggests completely fix the "cannot empty plate by eating" problem we were talking about days ago, I just tried it and now it gives back the normal empty plate, also I did not turn off any of my mods

Waiting for your official fix to thumb up your amazing lorefriendly work @ISuckYourSoul <3

There is a bug in this mod: PlateStirFry, PlateRoasted and PlateOmelette have their ReplaceOnUse set as "Plate" but this item does not exist in the module ServingPlates, so when the plates are put in a composter, after 2 weeks they begin causing errors. In singleplayer this causes a crash to menu, in MP it just spams the server logs.

You need to change "ReplaceOnUse = Base.Plate" for these three items.

Yeah, I've tested it again and it's the same deal with @Jackd44 and @Alexandra Erenhart
but I don't have Calm before the storm, so I need more time to try finding what's going on

@Tavoletta the issue may come from another mod you are using

Recooking and putting into the plate allowed me to eat it, plus with a fork it uses it
I'm not sure what happened with the other 2 plates, they didn't even show me the Fullness bar like every food, but now they show it

I was able to put stir fry food into the plates, but I cannot eat them

Bro I recommend you to remove the character photos or dress them cuz steam took ur mod down for nudity and sexual content.

@GO$HA Sure, you can do that. Just be sure to make your modifications mod requires this base mod

Hey! Is it alright if I pack your mod and make some modifications to it? (Just making the stat bonuses scale off of cooking instead of being a flat bonus).

@jtgibson Sorry, this mod got locked my steam for 2 days and I forgot about your comment.
I will not change the bonus stat mod as I want it to be very generous and OP. The goal of this additional mod was to make the game easier for new players. I might create a new additional mod with the change you asked as they are good, but I have another project for now so I will delay it.

Come to think of it, after doing all of that unnecessary algebra, it's also quite easy to balance as:

result:setBaseHunger(item:getBaseHunger() / 2 * 1.15)

I'm both good at math and terrible at math, heh.

The bonus stats mod could probably be more easily described by simply saying "When using the optional Bonus Stats mod, serving the food on a plate gives a +33% bonus to nutrients."

Incidentally, that seems a bit too generous. it takes Cooking 10 to unlock ~50% bonus nutrition in vanilla, whereas this can be done at Cooking 0 to gain two-thirds of the same benefit.

The generic divisor is (portions / (1+percent)) -- e.g., 1.5 = (2 / 1.333333) -- and Lua will happily accept a calculated divisor, which is easier to balance with. I figure the best percentage benefit would be a 15% bonus (0.15), or (2 / 1.15) for 2x recipes and (4 / 1.15) for 4x recipes.

For instance, result:setBaseHunger(item:getBaseHunger() / (2 / 1.15)) --calculates a 15% benefit

@Jackd44 Everything should be working now, I also added a new stuff to the mod so now the plates with food will have the name of the ingredient in it.
