I found out very big purpose of this mod. The deserter from VFE-E tries to poison, perhaps the best(?) meal on the colony. and usually haute meal doesn't stack due to... usually when deserter poison something, since I use big good stack mod, i had to abandon around 150meals, which isn''t a big deal but sucks. And haute meal saved me from this minor events.

Done

Pushing @mayonaise comment below, regarding RIMMSQol in 1.6 compat issue. Indeed you have to disable the "ingredient overflow" patch, and also keep the ingredient mixing on for the recipe.

If nothing are done, then all cooked haute meals doesn't work, and self-turn to slops on inspection (clicking on item and see detail). If you did the ingredient mixing off trick, you just can't cook any haute meals (always say not enough ingredients). Instead, you must both disable the "ingredient overflow" patch under mod settings -> QoL -> General Settings, in "Forbidden patches" section, click the [+] button below the text, and select "ingredient overflow" patch to disable. Remember to NOT do the old ingredient mixing off trick!

@Sarg it would be great if you can update the compat part of text

Is there compatibility with medieval overhaul with tech limits? This seems like a thing that should be a requirement for a king in his castle.

Every time I read the food description I hear Gordon Ramsay's sub-voice on it.

Nice I found it, Epicurean! Didn't even know that word before :) Thanks mate

Already on Alpha Memes :)

Ah Sarg, you make the most needless resource sinks with your fancy mods, and I absolutely love it :D I find it very satisfying to go above and beyond, not for the buff, but just because I can and because I care about my little idiots on the rim. Extravagance is truly where it is at! I find this mod also goes really well with food variety.

Have you considered adding a "Fine dinner event" type of thing? Perhaps in form of a ritual, where everyone sits down together and grabs the best meal available and perhaps a cocktail or cognac or another drink (highest value preferred)? As part of a gourmet ideology perhaps? Obviously beyond the scope of this mod, but would be a great addition if using many of your mods in tandem that are about the cooking brewing and neatly bring it all together.

Just an idea. Cheers

You can't turn off the Electric Haute "section", is that intended? Also, isn't it supposed to be called station?

Heads up for.... NO, report the problem properly

Heads up for anyone serving meals on ships, storing haute meals on a gravship will break the landing animation and will soft-lock your game.

if anyone else is running this with RIMMSQol in 1.6, note that you have to disable the "ingredient overflow" patch in the mods' main settings instead of turning off ingredient mixing in the cook haute meal recipe.

Colonists won't touch the meals. Could they be considered raw somehow ?

the last time I played this game there was no DLCs. This mod is FUCKING AWESOME! all i can think of is firefly and the meals they shared on the ship.

This is something that rimworld modding was like in ~2016. Truly expanded and inspirational. Oh well. Takes me back to better days.

Can confirm, probably because haute give mood buff in a different way, the pawn AI can't understand it is better. After adding 'ate gourmet meal' thought to haute they eat it properly. Suggest adding a thought buff to the haute then current haute mood buff on top of it.

I did some fiddling around and I think the reason pawns without ascetic prefer not to eat haute meals is because the way the thought from consuming a haute meal isn't considered by the ai, so it views lavish and gourmet meals as better food. This is my guess because QoL lists the thought from eating the food (Taste thought) as none. When I added the got married thought (+40 mood) to the haute meal they were then preferred over other meals.

Yeah, no QoL mod but still same thing with the Manufactured Slop and only ascetic will eat them. I am gonna stay subscribed, bc you guys are great at figuring this out, and also I want to design the ultimate kitchen for my guests and pawns, best foods, drinks and desserts all around.... if i can:)

I have the same issue with pawns preferring not to eat haute meals unless they have the ascetic trait.

What ingredient type is insect jelly intended to be, when cooking haute meals? I've had colonists cook meals with insect jelly as the "raw meat" ingredient, while other times it doesn't detect it as being a suitable ingredient. Is it meant to be one of two vegetable ingredients, or the raw meat?

also, if I limit food policy to only haute meal then pawns will pick up and eat haute meals just fine.

tested with only vanilla expanded mods, same result: pawns will not take haute meal and takes simple/fine/lavish/gourmet meal until given "ascetic" trait then they will skip all other meals and only takes haute meal instead.

Can't replicate that

for some reason, only pawns with "ascetic" trait automatically pick up and eats haute meals

I'm also experiencing issues with "manufactured slop" seemingly from all my meals involving royal insect jelly from insectoids 2? I blame being a vegetarian, and so only making haute meals with scavenged insect jelly, eggs, or most consistently milk made from oats.

Verified fixed now

No need, there is an IsWithinCategory that checks parent categories. There is literally no way First would fail now.

I would also recommend a method of ingredient acquisition that groups stuff in a loop like [code]foreach (var ingredient in compIngredient.Where(x => x.thingCategories is {Count: > 0))[/code] so you don't keep iterating from the beginning and don't use First(), which consistently raises a "sequence has no elements" exception.

Ok, I GOT IT!!!

The recipe fails if any of the ingredients don't have the meat or the vegetables categories. Turns out it doesn't consider parent categories... So fish are meat, but they have the fish category, which is a children of meat. Same thing with fruits and vegetables.

Will be fixed as soon as I can get to it.

If you can replicate the issue with just this mod, and VE More Plants, I'll look into it, and I'll need detailed reproduction steps.There should be nothing linking both

Okay, it looks like the use of pineapple (of which 3 is used instead of 10) may have been the issue. So much for the jewel fruit of the New World!

A lot of thought went into the descriptions of the food, and I love it. My first dish turned into Manufactured Slop (despite the absence of RIMMSqol), so I'll keep an eye out for additional conditions that might cause this.

I trust the decision to make haute sections exclusively for haute cuisine was to keep haute cuisine at the top of the recipe list?

I'll see what I can fix, but I don't think nutrition has anything to do with it

Well, not necessarily *THIS* mod, but it's an issue with the Vanilla Expanded ecosystem as a whole. Vanilla Fishing Expanded is only necessary to replicate it because I believe there are no ingredients in the base game that have anything other than 0.05 nutrition.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is easily repeatable, and was 100% isolated to an issue with this mod, like it or not.
You can easily replicate this with *just* Haute and Vanilla Fishing Expanded.

And can you replicate this with only these two mods? Because there is absolutely nothing in the code that would care about nutrition per ingredient

Similar issue to you, Cagelight - had a meal that contained Guppies, which have a value of 0.01 nutrition.
The Haute meal remained a Haute meal (named and everything, on a brown tray) until the Art button was clicked on - which it then came up empty, was named "Manufactured Slop," and the Info Panel was completely blank, and throwing errors every frame.
No RIMMSqol, closest thing would be Niilo's QoL (which I don't see any ingredient mixing options in).
All other meals that didn't contain fish were fine - no errors thrown, no transformations when info or art was opened.

There's no error but using any meat that has a nutrition other than 0.05 seems to always create Manufactured Slop. I have mods like Vanilla Fishing Expanded that add large-quantity foods like Crayfish to the game so 25 (with nutrition 0.02) are used rather than 10 to create the meal, and something about this seems to break it.

No

Kinda wanna cook some good meal in my medieval save, is there a non-electric version of haute section?

Is it just me, or will this work perfectly with the Guests from the Hospitality mod?

Perfect!

It fixes all problems, haute meals are being created as they should.

Nice! I will explain this in the description. Though... does it fix the author problem too? Or just the ingredient problem?

@Eggbed Yep that fixed it, thank you! Good that's such an easy fix.

@Cagelight
Can you try this?

Go to the in-game Mod option > QoL > Recipes > cook haute meal > Disable "Allow Mixing of Ingredients"

I figured that was the case, I put my findings in their bug reports as well.

That sounds like something that mod should handle, I can't do much in that regard

Two errors occur, one when the meal completes, and one when you try to press the "Art" button. Pressing the Art button is what turns it into Manufactured Slop. Logs: https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/dc4390a03ce8064427706f29ccf2d1ad

Additionally, I noticed that during cooking, the chef ignores requirements for separate ingredients, as in rather than 1 mayo and 1 jelly preserve, he gets 2 mayo.

I've narrowed down my conflict with 100% certainty to RIMMSqol.
