Great mod! Really enjoying this. Only complaint is you can't can veggies added in by other mods since the recipe doesn't exist for them, but otherwise it's fantastic for survivalist stuff.

Is this compatible with Def’s Longterm with the canned food it makes?

@LinkedSausage Glad to hear!

@Benooo I figured as much. Just wanted to comment since the screenshot shows watches and that's where I was confused. Works amazing though! +rep

Subbed to this 4/21 for reference. In my game it doesn't show watches needed for the recipe it shows alarm clock is needed.

Yeah I had all three, it was just the watch that was giving me problems. I probably should've tested it with the other two watches, but unfortunately still wasn't sure what the cause was. The watches were also vanilla I believe since they didn't have a mod label when I was trying to think of the reasons it wouldn't craft with the watches I had for some reason.

@BBA I can't seem to replicate your issue. Did you have a screwdriver, a watch and a cooking pot? Any of the three watches should work.

For some reason the crafting is a bit bugged? I had multiple black digital watches in my inventory but it still didn't let me craft the Pressure Canner. Had to give myself even more black watches with a cheat menu but it still ended up being a toss-up until it finally let me craft it.
