can I use corn flour?

@Indigo Rose, look for the Farm and Garden mod. It lets you grow wheat and grind it into flour.

Me when banana bread

banana bread 2.0

Banana bread

@Indigo Rose Knox Country Cooking Club adds acorn flour and Defs long term survival adds wild nuts which can be used to craft vanilla butter flour and milk

@Indigo Rose WIlhelm's Wilderness improvements is included in the Orphanage for Abandoned Mods b41 and has things like wild wheat in them. IIRC grind the wheat to get flour using a mortar+pestle.

Darn. I was looking for a mod that would let me craft flour. Still nothing. This popped up on my search. Dreadfully disappointing that it's supposed to help you survive... by using a pretty finite ingredient.

I can't find it in the craft menu, any ideas?

I can confirm that this mod works in b41.

doesnt let me open the crafting menu?

im ggonna love this if i make it in real life

No problem.

Well, thanks. The mods I've made so far are pretty simple, but I kind of like it that way. Maybe someday in the future I'll invest the time into making a more elaborate mod for this game, but it will have to be for something I really want to have in the game for myself.

I know Muldraugh is pretty dry. That's why I prefer to live around the more remote areas around West Point or Valley Station instead of Muldraugh, personally. But you can still do plenty of trapping in Maldraugh. I also think the number of canning jars/lids available in the vanilla game is way too low as it is, and I have been thinking about making a mod that increases their number (if there isn't one already made by someone else that works well). There was a really nice and realistic canning mod that replaced the vanilla canning altogether that was made by someone named Deadend, but it's bugged now to the point it is unusable in its current state, and last I checked it seems that mod has been abandoned.

In the meantime I recommend to you my Cure Wild Meat mod that allows you to make salted jerky-like products from wild-caught game, fish, and frogs with a long self-life, and which does give you a thirst increase when eaten plain. Plus you can cook with it by adding it as an ingredient to evolved recipes such as Stir Fry. It does require you to have level 5 cooking skill, though, so it's intended as an end-game survival skill.

It could theoretically be done, but I'm afraid that's currently beyond my modding skills. Mainly because I lack the artistic skill needed to create new custom icons for adding a thing like wheat to the game, both for the plant in all its growth stages and the harvested produce, plus whatever special tools would be needed to process it realistically.

There's also the fact that unless you have a lot of other people to support who could truly benefit from adding grain produce to their diets, I don't think it would be a practical option for survival. Not when you can already grow more than enough other vegetables to live on plus supplement that with meat from fishing and trapping, which I made basically sustainable indefinitely with my Sweater Strings mod.

I thought about that, but I decided against it since it doesn't give very much hunger reduction, and the flour needed to make it will eventually run out. Unless you have loot respawing turned on, which I think is cheesy. So it's actually not a good way to keep yourself fed for a longer period of time in the game as it is, IMO. Thanks for the suggestion, though. If I got enough people asking for the change, then I might reconsider it, but the overwhelming number of people using this mod at the moment seem happy with it the way it is.

I'm sure it could qualify as a form of flat bread, if you flattened the dough before you cooked it.

I tihnk another thing you can call it is flat bread, but I'm not sure.

it's really useful

Ok, I'll leave it alone for now. If I get more requests to change a specific thing about it, Iwill consider it,though. Glad so many people are enjoying this mod.

Don't change anything about it. It's fine the way it is.

Maybe I could add some boredom to it, but then I could make another recipe that allows you to add some sugar so that one wouldn't be positive or negative to your mood, it would just be neutral in that respect while still only providing a few calories per piece. Thanks for the feedback, I would appreciate more feedback on how to make the mod better.

Well, it may not be 100% realisitic, but it's not always easy to do that in a video game and keep things balanced and playable. I could increase the hunger reduction and add a boredom/unhappiness value no problem, and it would do what you are suggesting, except the recipe only calls for one use of flour and water, so then it doesn't make sense where the extra calories are coming from. Maybe this isn't really like the hardtack of ages in the literal or historical sense, but I didn't know what else to call something that's only made from a small amount of flour and water and cooked over a fire that stays edible for a long time without special treatment. I was thinking if it's tasteless than it's not tasting bad, so it's not making you feel bad, its more like swallowing a pill with a few calories to keep you going a little longer when real food is not readily available, but doesn't taste as horrible as like eating raw condiments would.

Ah, thats not very realistic then. Hard tack sits in your stomache like a rock and makes you feel full. But it's tasteless and sucky to eat.

It does not reduce happiness currently, nor does it add any. It only reduces a small amount of hunger. I would consider adding a +boredom value, but the hunger reduction value is not very high per piece. So I think it would be kind of hard to live solely on this food unless you have managed to create a gaint hoard stash of flour, which will eventually run out since flour is a non-replenishable item in a game with no loot respawn. Also, the new nutirtion system should see to it that eating nothing but carbs over long periods will cause some form of malnourishment.

Does this reduce happiness? I feel like that'd be the balancing factor, that it severely cuts happiness especially if it's the only thing you're eating.

hard tack its like stale bread bland but life saving

Good idea! Although there is a name for such bread. The Bannock Bread. Any kind of flour, water. And for flavor, about anything you can find. Nuts,cherry,sugar, Some add chemical yeast and so on. Bake in oven or around camp fire you name it o o.

It was mainly use by the native people in america... and it was corn flour. xD

Hydro craft has something similar to this But I'm not here to advertise other mods I'm here to express an opinion Like everyone else
Interesting Idea at least.

was kinda useless, you cant slice it or do anything with it and it only gives you -6 hunger

Would work well in Roleplay servers as daily rations (works for me and friends)

Cool. Hardtack is the staff of life.

What are the stats of the bread though?

Just subscribed, I'm an instant fan. Knew I was collecting this flour for SOME reason... Thanks for rescuing my survivor from an apocalypse spent without croutons!

which actually should be put into this game to be honest

@murican eagle , thats probebly a result of gingavitus and scurrvy :S

This game has microwaves? Wow, I might as well be blind. :/

Some sailors actually used to break their teeth on hardtack. No joke.

ok ty

I didn't test it in a microwave, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Everything else that is cookable in the game seems to be cookable in a microwave, that I know of, so this should be too :)

does it cook in microwawe? ill get this mod anyway
