Qi Seasoning

[Eltia]

I bought a stash of Qi Seasoning and put them into my kitchen's fridge. Then I crafted a Spicy Eel dish and it doesn't have gold grade. I checked the seasoning in the fridge and it hasn't been used.

Then I put the seasoning into my inventory and craft the same dish again. The dish still isn't gold grade and my seasoning isn't used. Am I using Qi Seasoning right?

Thank you in advance!

It sounds like you're using it correctly, so I have no idea why it's not working. Mods?

[Eltia]

These are the mods I'm using:

SMAPI, BiggerBackpack, CarryChest, catGifts, CookingSkill, GiftTasteHelper, MovementSpeed, NPCMapLocations, RushOrders, SkullCavernElevator, SpaceCore, StardewHack, TractorMod.

I'm playing on another player's server. Does this affect anything?

I have no idea about specific mod interactions (I don't use mods myself), but that would be the only reason I can imagine for it to not work because I can't find any other mention of Qi Seasoning not working online. I would try disabling mods and seeing if it works then, but I'm not sure how that works when playing as a farmhand in a multiplayer game (I also don't play multiplayer).

Maybe someone experienced with modding this game can offer better advice, but testing to see if it's being caused by a mod would be my next step. My first guess would be that CookingSkill mod though.

Agreed that CookingSkill seems a likely culprit Looking at its NexusMods page[www.nexusmods.com], it it has its own way to generate Gold and Silver Cooked Dishes, and hasn't been updated in 15 months. Posts in its comments thread[www.nexusmods.com] from March claim that it doesn't work with 1.5

I'll check on it, thank you!

Update. Removed the mod and problem solved. Thanks!
