@Real Flame - if you are talking about types of Flour not included in this mod, then they would require an additional mod to create bread from them. Hence my More Bread and Simple Bread mods.

How could I go about adding other flour's bread?

For those wondering about the egg, I happen to cook my own home-made bread every two weeks and the recipe uses an egg. Like the recipe I created here, 1 egg for a 4 loafs.

Why does the recipe have egg in it lol. Bread should be a basic simple dish

Cool idea. Bread doesn't contain eggs though, that would make it a cake.

@Maligerent This is a strange one to be sure. I took a quick look at AA and there shouldn't be any overlap, it doesn't add bread or dough so it shouldn't have any conflicts with my Mod.

He is kind of right, but the only way to add new items to the game as of when I made this mod (And still, I believe) is to use the cheese Item trick. It does not make the item edible, that is given to the item by a [EDIBLE] Tag on the material.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the mod myself, and double checked it. Dough is NOT edible in the current iteration of this mod. Based on your description of the problem I would have to say, somehow, the dough in your game files is getting the [EDIBLE] Tag when it should only have the [EDIBLE VERMIN] tag. Why this is happening, I don't know. Could be a mod conflict with something else.

UPDATE: According to AA's author, the bread dough is still registered as an edible cheese item.

@Varsocona They still chow on it, but it may be because I am also running Advanced Agriculture, using the patches that are now deprecated. I have unsubbed from these and I reached out to AA's modder to see if this can be fixed

@Maligerent Please let me know if it doesn't work for you. As amusing as the Dwarf's love of raw dough is as you noticed it kind of breaks the mod.

The update was awhile ago now, so this does concern me. If there is a persistent problem, I'll track it down and fix it again.

@Varsocona thank you for the update. I had downloaded it only a few days prior to when I made the comment, the update must be recent. It was still funny to see dwarves desperately scarfing down raw dough like they were starving even though I had like...800 food available. I will give the update trick a try.

@Maligerent - Sorry to hear about your frustrations. That was a problem in an older version of the Mod, the dough being edible caused too many issues despite being realistic so I changed it.

To update to the latest version cleanly, delete the folder "3149478881" in your Mod folder (The one in the steam/steamapps/common/dwarf fortress/mods) as well as unsubscribing from the mod here. If I remember correctly there is a step to remove it from the mod list in Dwarf Fortress itself as well, just to be safe. When you resubscribe you will get the latest version. Unfortunately there isn't an easier update system in place for Dwarf Fortress.

So my dwarves can make the dough but after a while the option to bake it was redded out permanently and they just eat raw dough now. No idea what's causing it but I've been trying to figure out how this mod works all day and at this point it's just an exercise in frustration.

@landadmiralquercus - Because butter is a custom item the game stores it in barrels labelled 'Cheese', and can end up with actual cheese in there too. If you have another reaction running that targets that barrel, like making more butter or cheese or using either for cooking, then the barrel and all of it's contents are considered 'in use' by the game. Just how Dwarf Fortress handles things.

If you have butter, and the game can't find it, try stopping any reactions you have running that may target that barrel (Most likely Kitchen Reactions and Make Cheese or Churn Butter). Alternatively, you can try forbidding that barrel to get those reactions to stop or move on to another target. Let me know how it goes!

It wants butter for me.

@landadmiralquercus - It's possible that one of the ingredients is located in a barrel that is busy with a reaction from something else, specifically the egg or butter. When the reaction is red it should say what it is looking for like "Requires Egg Ingredient" or something like that. What does it say when it is red for you?

I can't make dough, even though I've made a no-barrel stockpile for sugar and flour, and I know I have all the ingredients. Do you know what might be causing it?

@Duckling Annnnd... Done! More Bread is up. It has two recipes that use oil instead of butter, one for Rock Nut oil another for Olive Oil. I also threw in an all purpose Tallow recipe, because I figured out how to along the way.

For sure! If it's something you're willing to work on. I for one never mind a more cluttered menu, if it makes sense! All the best, keep up the baking life

I for one would be happy to see more bread.

@Duckling You are correct! In Real Life It is possible to substitute oil instead of butter for most baking recipes, including bread. Unfortunately the way the game reads Reactions there is no way to have a And/Or ingredient, everything listed will be required for the final product. This is why the Bread Mod has multiple types of bread reactions, to account for different flours. The main reason why I made this mod to use butter is because making my Butter Mod was how I figured out how to mod in new food items with custom graphics, and I also bake bread in real life with butter.

So in order to have oil based recipes they would have to be set up as additional reactions, something I would probably do as a separate mod, similar to my Simple Bread Mod. I haven't fooled around with oil yet, but since it can already be used as an ingredient in the base game's cooking reaction I would assume it could be done. I don't mind taking requests, if this is something you'd like, let me know.

Hello! I'm no bread specialist, but from what I understand it can also be baked with oil instead of butter. I haven't looked into the raws, but is that a possibility, to add a "butter or oil" to the same reaction? Rock nut or olive oil for example

And... Done! The Simple Bread mod is up.

Thanks, I'll stay tuned.

@Digganob I like this idea. It'll take a day or two, but I think I can cook something up. It'll be another mod, part of the Dwarven Cuisine line.

Would you consider making a "simple bread" mod, or expanding this one to include bread recipes which only require dough, but make bread of a lower quality? It would be cool to make hardtack, or other simple breads.
