Can't seem to do anything with Red Spinach or Bitter Vetch
« on: February 28, 2017, 12:42:57 am »
The wiki assures me these are cookable, but they aren't showing up in my cooking menu, and are just eating up space in my plant barrels.  Are they currently bugged, and will my dwarfs still eat them raw?

Edit: or are my dwarves dumb and harvesting the whole plant that nothing can be done with?

They may be missing a tag to make them processable, see

ProvingGrounds was merely a setback.

Your edit in response to werdna is probably correct.  There's a bunch of above-ground bugged plants that are intended to be processable, like quarry bush, but are missing the correct tags.  Elves and humans sometimes bring usable products of those plants (leaves in these cases).

Sell 'em.

Quarry bush is a subterranean crop that's processed to bags and whose seeds (rock nuts) can be processed. Quarry bush leaves (in the bags) can then be cooked at the least (I don't grow quarry bushes as you can't make booze out of them, nor clothing).

This and other issues with a 100% everyone-should-agree fix to them are usually addressed in the most current version of Modest Mod.

The idea of Modest Mod is to include only changes/fixes that are so obvious that there's really no rational reason to not include them.

It seems to have a rotating pool of volunteer maintainers at this point, the latest version by Taffer is here. I haven't actually checked if the plant products fix is in the 43.05 version.

I just made the necessary modifications to my world save and basic install...
