Also the more busywork for my pawns to go about the better

I try to sell these off but i keep accidentally eating them, i'm sorry i just love bloat too much

Sincerely, Pepper is so EZ to produce. And for me it doesnt seem so hard to Pepper+Cabbage into Kimchi. Some stuff needs Allspice + Pineapple + Sugar... and Mayonesse stuff? It needs fermenting process.

Game balance trumps realism!

Hm.. Making Kimchi with Not pepper but allspice.
I mean, I am Korean here, So Pepper > Extract > Pepper powder
into Kimchi is too much for a game, but still.. Kimchi needs Pepper. It has red pallet in infographic.

Since soap can be scheduled in drug policies, would it be possible to do the same for perfume aswell? I want to pamper my royals with all sorts of things, but manually using perfume is too much micro for me... Love the mod btw, very good!

Can you add compatibility for alpha animals milk? I currently have a shiitton of night milk that I can't even turn into yogurt.

b. I will be seeing those cupcakes later on

No, no, it just isn't done. Once a new version is released, all previous ones are just on maintenance only. Any new features are for the current version.

Please... I am not the greatest modder like you, so I don't know how much effort it would take to support 2 versions. But I think people are still out there playing 1.5 because some vital performance mods are not yet up-to-date. I know you are a duper busy guy — much respect for that — but people on 1.5 gotta breathe. If you made a decision, I should abide by it. However, if you think 1.5 players are still worth supporting, please think about it. Thanks.

That last one is a solid no. 1.5 is in the past

Besides, I dontknow if it is intended, but update 2.1 for AC didn't come up in 1.5RW. I still play 1.5 for some reasons.. if I shouldn't be infusing things in 1.5 let it be.. but if you are willing to have mercy for 1.5 players.. very thankful

Also if possible, COFFEE from VBE only have one usage in this game and Coffee alchohol is just too much. Since it isn't the exact way to use 'surplus' product (fermenter doesn't have ingredient radius, so i can't actullay selectively use surplus product) so maybe coffee cupcake can be good. Just saying.

Bro please but, My fruits are running out. since fruits have so much usage(aside from AC, VC,BE things as well) so maybe, the dessert idelology gurantees so many chocolate, so using chocloate for cupcakes may make a lot of sense. I make chocolate into butter butter into so many things. BUT STILL SO MANY CHOCOLATe so just saying. please chocolate cupcakes. >.

I AM IN LOVE WITH Sarg's CUPCAKES!!!!!!!!

Gimme a couple weeks, I have cupcakes :)

I noticed that flour from VCE doens't have a specific usage in this mod. Just sayin. I managed to use all my surplus crops into craft product, just except flour. maybe i should stop cultivating flour. Not a decent croup after all

If i get that rich i start using silver traps.

@Sarg Bjornson I know, but raids are the least of my worries. Silver management is the main problem, but I'm too greedy to throw it out of the map XD

@Cipher Tamer well, it also adds a pretty big trading system, which risks breaking something in my list of 1000 mods. And besides, it's kind of cheating when you hide your wealth. I don't even use killboxes so as not to cheat

@st.rusik have you tried storing the silver in one of the banks from Vanilla Trading Expanded? Any silver in them takes up no space and doesn't contribute to raids.

Bear in mind that's a double edged sword, it means harder raids!

Holy crap, I understand that your mod is designed for this, but by selling all this to traders, I became a millionaire in RimWorld for the first time, and even Adaptive Storage can't save me from the amount of silver I have. I can't stop, help me 😱😱😱

Sell, sell, sell i need more sells...

I’ve been playing this mod very gently and passionately.

However, have you ever considered changing the recipe requirements from just raw item count to nutrition value?

For example, when making jam with fruits:

A strawberry has 0.05 nutrition (the standard crop).

A pineapple from VPE has 0.2 nutrition (higher nutrition, but takes longer to grow, and is more efficient in fertile soil).

Yet, the recipe only consumes the same number of fruit items regardless of their nutrition value.

This makes cultivating high-nutrition, specialized crops feel pointless. Even if I try to make use of surplus produce (for example, crafting Alpha products to trade), I end up losing efficiency compared to just growing low-nutrition, fast crops.

This has become my favourite mod, I've never disliked content bloat so that helps, but being able to make soap instead of exporting yayo is mass quantities. Even when i do ship narcotics it's fancy pipe tobacco and artisan liquor. This mod single-handedly brought me back to rimworld.

Yo! Do you know or ever saw, the VGP mod list, and, say, ever looked into it?

@Sarg Bjornson Sadly, I'm not much of an artist, and the work stations would really need age-appropriate textures =.=

v2.101:

- Fixed Royal salve recipe which was causing the artisan workshop to not register as a kitchen

I mean, what is stopping you? ;)

I wish I could do it myself, really, it's a great mod

And ideally retexture the buildings

@Keith Carluke

What would a "medieval patch" for this Mod entail? I assume one that makes the buildings not require electricity?

Do it yourself and save the cash.

Petition for someone to make a medieval patch for this

amazing update sarg

Can you use fresh bodies when making perfume?

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer https://share.google/fpdQgN4RquMLeMooX

- Infused mayonnaise is now called flavoured mayonnaise
- Recipes that have variable yield now explain on their description what the baseline is
- Oil is now usable as a condiment for VE Cooking, as was always the intention
- Aloe vera can now be used to reduce infections by 5%
- Perfume and soap now indicate their use
- Giant seeds from Alpha Biomes can be used for the same things as sunflower seeds in VE Plants - More Plants
- Mushroom from Alpha Biomes can be used in any recipe using RawFungus. Same for black truffles from Alpha Animals
- Fruits from Alpha Biomes can be used for the same things as any fruit in VE Plants
- Scented candles can use wax from Alpha Bees

v2.1:

- Added 15 new artisan crafts: cured hive confections, infused oil, balsamic vinegar, popcorn, buttered popcorn, caramel popcorn, powdered horn, powdered mineral, truffle oil, vegemite, desert salve (Alpha Animals), sky syrup (Alpha Animals), iced elixir (Alpha Biomes), jamón serrano (VE Cooking) and royal salve (VFE Insectoids 2)
- Added 1 new artisan machine, the infuser
- Added 1 new research, flavour infusing
- Added 2 variations for purees (baba ganoush and tapenade) and 1 for pickles (barrel cactus from Alpha Biomes)
- Updated all items to use the Graphics classes now present in the VE Framework to avoid duplicate code
- Rebalanced chutney and salted caramel to not be so profitable

@Iirly in theory you could but many of the more complicated requirements require temps and equipment that were simply impossible at that timeperiod.

Perhaps a geothermal stove?

I'm using this with medieval overhaul. Is there a medieval analogue for making some of the more complex items? Or are they restricted to industrial production? For reference, I'm trying to make Red Sauerkraut.

about candle,perfume,soap
why not make them consumable for the colonists instead just selling them

I think the black garlic is "curing" my pawns of their scarification 😂 working as intended I suppose!

Oh thank you, this will help the growing meat piles wonderfully.

These are the caravans and settlements that are patched to buy artisan goods: https://github.com/juanosarg/AlphaCrafts/blob/main/1.6/Patches/MerchantPatch.xml

Is it normal that no settlements want to buy certain goods? like none of them want the berry tea bags or gravy

Sorry, I don't do medieval. Someone else would have to do some patching

Hi there! uwu

Apologies if this has already been asked, I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying the game/mod! I'm currently doing a fun little artisan-themed medieval run where they make candles and soap hehe.

That said, I’ve noticed a few things I can’t seem to craft without power. I was wondering if there’s any workaround or medieval-friendly version for certain recipes? For example, I wasn’t able to find machines or tools for things like liquor, vinegar, pickles, or kombucha.

I’ve been using the tooltips a lot, but I didn’t see any machines listed when trying to make those items. It’s possible they’re part of another machine I missed, there are so many mods for medieval content that I tried using God Mode to check each unpowered machine, but still couldn’t figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks again for all your hard work <3 ( works fine on non medieval runs, just curious about medieval verison)

Not easily

I don't know if that has been asked about before, but would it be possible to limit trade requests to things I am actually able to craft? Like, not get asked about chutney when I haven't even unlocked complex artisinal crafting yet?

@Sarg Bjornson Easy, Chemshine, vegetables, wastebags.....ok fine and some spice.
