This mod is generally good for what it does. However for some unknown reason the mod author has chosen to change the calories for many items. This has caused a awful effect of not actually being able to lose weight. I can go down to starving while doing nothing but burpees in my house and still continue to gain weight.

Another good mod ruined by one awful aspect that was unwanted or needed.

hey, is the bio refiner not able to taken rotten food mush? i could have swore it did before but now it isnt accepting it, im pretty late game and so alot of the produce i have is rotten.

Any server found error on log as " java.nio.BufferOverflowException " ?
I'm not sure this error log by this mod or not, please advise.

hi how am i supposed to make the refinery and i still don't understand the salt making and what to do with the sweet vegi pulp i tried everything

hi for salt, i think theres these zone modifiers:

Forest=1, DeepForest=2, FarmLand=1, Farm=1, Vegitation=1
(im not sure exactly what defines a forest as deep though)

for templar, ive been running this mod (and some others by spoon) in my older b41, and can gain weight in kg. it probably just depends on what you are doing and what you are eating. if you burn off more than you eat like with fighting and running, maybe that is causing you to lose weight, or if you are are hungry usually (a bit like me)

is it just me or its almost impossible to gain weight which means you keep going anorexic???

How the hell do you find salt? I have been foraging for hours (not ingame, but real hours) in forrests, farmlands, and vegetation with skill level 10 and a bunch of traits but I have not found 1 salt rock.

Is there any way to add wine to the recipe?
I'm playing a game without loot. You can find bottles, apples, and grapes, but you can't make wine.

and for veggie bulp:

recipe Make Veggies Bulp
{
Carrots/Corn/Strewberrie/Banana/Orange/Apple/Grapes/Pear/Cherry/BerryGeneric1/BerryGeneric2/BerryGeneric3/BerryGeneric4/BerryGeneric5/BerryBlack/BerryBlue;10,

hi heres the recipe for bio refinery:

recipe Make Biogas Refinery
{

How to make bio-refinery and what to do with sweet veggie bulp?

Does this mod work with Sappho’s Cooking mod?

yay - long live the spoon

I consider pgames-FOOOOOOOD as my personal assistant now! And yes, use my mods as yall wish! Merry Christmas!

hi if you search your workshop folder for this:
2890748284
that should show you if steam downloaded it
(you could also try a steam verify files too)

then you can edit i think its "deafult.xml" in your users zomboid folder, and manually add in an extra line to include the mod by its mod id, like
mod = FoodPreservationPlus,
(but make a backup of that file somewhere before you edit it, just in case)

I cant get the mod to come up in my mod order even though I have it subscribed to. Does anyone have a fix for this issue?

"ken: Hello!! I was wondering if I would be allowed to create a Lost Province compatibility patch. Lost Province has several uniquely named berries/mushrooms that can't be added to recipes because the game doesn't recognize them as berries/mushrooms/fruit, this patch would just be adding those item IDs into the recipe code."

hi ken if you credit spoon for original mod and are making a patch for more compatibility, i dont 'think' spoon would have a problem with that. (someone made a chinese version of one of my mods as i dont speak it, and that was ok with me) but i am rather good at eating it

Hello!! I was wondering if I would be allowed to create a Lost Province compatibility patch.

@ Lil Boogie lol if I'll be avoiding smoked fish I guess. But really hope that gets looked at could mean other stuff kill too.

For those frustrated about the refill propane mod not working with this, I created my own that works: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3525252962

does this mod work with the Herbalist Mod?

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2875059598

trying to make biogas, does the recipe only accept fresh stomped food mush? If so, can I do anything with rotten food mush? (41 ver)

hi was your item called Smoke Meat Preparation?
(if so, i think thats in the code as DangerousUncooked = TRUE,)

SMOKED FISH HAS KILLED ME TWICE

i can't get this mod to work for my and my wife's server it keeps crashing it

Hello, how can i use the Bio Gas Refinery. i cant place, the refinery drop only ground.

Do the Ethanol barrels that are Brew Ready despawn if you don't take it using the bottles?

@OttosTheName, ahh gotcha gotcha, thanks much appreciated!

@Nightmareマイキー

I think we have this problem quite often and the problem is you need either more meat or more salt or something. Usually it's just that we have not enough of 1 ingredient. It takes a full item of salt and I believe large chunks of meat

So yeah, it's been a while since the last update. But I certainly hope a fix or patch for the general recipe > refill propane will be released. since it causes errors due to it needing "propane tanks" instead of "empty propane tanks"

Heyo need some help, so I have already found and read the magazine for food preservation and Ive already crafted the can sealer, and canned vegetables but I cant seem to can meat for some reason? I have everything required for crafting but it doesnt let me click craft. Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: Noticed its doing the same thing for tallow.

The mod works fine but we deleted it after a while from our server.
We wanted a really hard survival experience with insanely rare resources but this mod spawns literally thousand units in every building. It feels more like cheating than survival. :/

"You can empty all cans(Vanilla too) from food(Even rotten)."
Do you mean Jars?

hi john, i found some code in the mod for it, and it seems that you can make it once you have these, but that you might need to find a mag or something to learn the recipe:

recipe Create Can Sealer
{
ScrapMetal = 1,
MetalPipe = 1,
BlowTorch=5,
keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.WeldingMask],

Category:Welding,
Result:CanSealer = 1,
Time:400.0,
SkillRequired:MetalWelding=5,
NeedToBeLearn:true,
}

Anybody know where to find the can sealer?Ive not managed to find it for a very long time now and I can't seem to find the recipe either.

When it comes to items identified as food, "Units" are the "Hunger" reduction you would get from consuming that food.

So Smushed food for Biogas for example takes 100 units and provides 2 hunger each, and so you would need 50x fresh ones.

"Okay, how much friggin ethanol wort do you actually need?? It says 100 units. I made several ethanol wort and yet for some reason, in the crafting menu for making ethanol brew, it never says I have enough"

I tested it and it looks like you need 50 ethanol wort items (each has 2 units). But it will look gray in the crafting menu, which is confusing - make sure you have everything else needed (enough water, yeast etc.) and then you should be able to craft it once you get 50 ethanol wort items. Same logic applies to vinegar wort - it says 50 units, meaning 25 items, and it will always look like you don't have enough unless you also have everything else you need.

hi it might be this:
recipe Make Wooden Barrel
{
LeatherStrips=20,
Wire=10,
Plank=10,
keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer],
Result:WoodenBarrel,

but you might need to right-click on the wire when you have all the items?

How do you craft barrels? I have found the brew for dummies recipe but i cant craft the barrel through the carpentry menu or crafting.

Absolutely terrible mod design. The calorie values are all over the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ place, the items don't have 3d models (although admittedly that is a nitpick), the crafting recipes make zero sense, there's so many exceptions to the crafting recipes that aren't explained, there's so many intermediate items that don't need to exist, and the mod author doesn't communicate with his community.

Hello, i love this immersive mod but, i have noticed something that quite ruin my survival playthrough, i like to play with insanely rare loot, since this mod override all food items of the vanilla, even in insanely rare settings, i keep finding a huuuge amount of cans in every houses. So i wonder if you could ajust the settings to match the sandbox customization ?

It would be so nice

Love the mod by the way and thanks for your hardwork

J'ai fais la traduction en FR si ça vous intéresse ! :)

Jars very much do not last a whole year, I'm only getting ~30 days with just this mod alone.

How much fish do I need to smoke? do I need to read a magazine? I have a bunch of fish and a fire.

Okay, how much friggin ethanol wort do you actually need?? It says 100 units. I made several ethanol wort and yet for some reason, in the crafting menu for making ethanol brew, it never says I have enough. Just to test, I cheated 100 ethanol wort and the "required" thing for ethanol wort is STILL greyed out as if I have none at all. What gives?

ah ok, yeah i like the mod, maybe spoon is bit busy atm,
(btw its good that evaporated milk has less calories irl, because thats what im going to be eating with me christmas puddings next month)

its a good mod, just wish it was maintained and fixed.

nah its evaporated milk. could be called condensed milk in files though. but irl evaporated milk is around 300-500 calories. and even if it was condensed milk, thats only 1000-1200 calories irl. my point is that the caloric counts in this mod make no sense. its not really an issue for me anymore since i uninstalled the mod because of this.

hi the item i think is condensed milk
Icon = CannedCondensedMilk_Open,
i think that does have alot of calories due to all the sugar though

also creator was high when making this. There is not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2000 calories in a single can of evaporated milk.
