Biscuits day and night. Biscuits summer and winter, spring and autumn... I'm sick of them!
So I decided to test some of my own "receipes" for variation, and it's actually way too easy to make new meals into the game. Keeps things a little more interesting, too. Just two types of food in each category is way more interesting.
So, here are some of my receipes. All you need to do is add one or more "receipe" to the item_food.txt in ( raw -> objects-folder ) and you get random meals from the kitchen. ( Meat on meat sandwiches. Yum. Also, salads are for weedy elves )
The receipes work as follows:
[ITEM_FOOD:ITEM_FOOD_NAME_NAME] -Defines this item as food, with a one- or two-part name for the game to identify it
[NAME:name] -The name that will be use in-game ( This is a stack of 5 ingridient name )
[LEVEL:2] -Amount of ingridients ( 2 for Easy Meal, 3 for Fine Meal and 4 for Lavish Meal; these are used in the game )
I myself added the following receipes on a small receipe-mod for fun and in-game variation:
Easy Meals
[ITEM_FOOD:ITEM_FOOD_SANDWICHES]
[NAME:sandwiches]
[LEVEL:2]
[ITEM_FOOD:ITEM_FOOD_SOUP]

I've made a sample receipe list/minimod, that you can simply download or save into your raw -> objects folder to add some additional foods into the game.

What kind of receipes do you give your dwarfs?
And please offer me some feedback on the idea and functionality.

Wow man... You've posted it while I was finishing mine =). Do we thing the same way or is it a strange coincidence? -)))
Anyway I've made it as a Modbase's component, not clean install. Check the thread near yours x_x.
I have few things you've used (it's obvious, I used wiki cathegory food :)), but you have some things I didn't have.
Can you contribute please?

*Ahem*

Haha, nice joke.
Anything else to add to dwarven ration?)
Damn, it's too bad we have to regenerate the world for meals to appear...

Actually, http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=19760.0 .
If you want to add something, do it, I will add this as an update for the modbase.
Anyway the modbase begins to be the best and universal mod-loading and settings-tweaking tool.
There're problems with specific meals like "bread" or "gruel" since it's hard to imagine them being made from meat.
Elephant meat bread? Without grains? So I'd stick to something like pie or hotpot.
By the way, I didn't have the hotpot,rotisserie platter and julienne, thanks, I'd like to add them =). I'll take something that is not already included. You're the man :).
-
Deon: I don't think it matters. The game makes weird meals as it is already. Heck, if all-booze roast is possible, then anything is.
-
Dwarven firebreathers.

[ITEM_FOOD:ITEM_FOOD_HOTPOT]
[NAME:hotpot]
[LEVEL:4]
I love a good hotpot.
-
Firebreathers? What is it?
-
Dwarf + Too Much Curry= Flamethrower? :D
-
Ergh, that can't be good for the beards.
-
But the good news? It's highly intimidating to the invading goblins when the opposition starts off a charge with a 50 foot long gout of fire.
-
Bah, don't mod the [FIREBREATH] in Dwarf craeture. They will set each other on fire during fight.

Full-alcohol-biscuits are made my drying up any dwarven alcohol to the point that the drink solidifies, atleast to a jell-o fit for cooking. Do not try with real cooking...

They do use a whole barrel full of booze.
