Craft Soap IWBUMS 41

Description
This mod lets you craft soap.
Cut fat from zombies (you need to have corpse in inventory). Burn Log or zombie unusable meat to ashes (need to be near campfire). Run pot with water though ashes and you will get lye. Combine lye in pot with zombie fat and you will have raw soap mass. Cook for a bit, remove cooked soup with a knife.
I wanted to add sustainable source for fats, but trappable animals don't have a lot of fat. Maybe in future versions there will be an option to collect fat from animals.
In the plans, there are also foragable items to use as a soap, but not sure into what category to add them.
Process of crafting soap is a bit simplified, few steps are skipped.
If you want even easier way to craft soap, you can use my other mod - Simple Soap. But it doesn't use zombie fats for crafting, you will have to use meat instead.

Also, can you add the ability to burn wood to ash? I'm finding I never have enough ash, and it just feels like a waste to only cut unusable scraps.

Appreciate it! You might want to add a hunger value, but a MASSIVE happiness debuff (it is human meat after all) as well as making it poisonous.That should be enough to convince most people not to eat it :)

@Tahvohck Thanks for report. You are right, it wont decompose because it has no hunger value. Worked earlier, but PZ changed some time ago so composting depends on how much hunger it recovers. I had it at 0, to prevent people eating it.
Gonna test out and will update mod next week. Will edit icons too.

Are you sure that zombie meat is set up correctly? I can't ever get it to decompose in my composter. It at least claims that it can be used in the composter and I don't see anything else it could be used for.

in the inventory, because those 2 icons are sharing same name as 'Ash', i put a number after image name as a little hotfix and it works perfect again.
i am really impressed you are focusing on 'how to do it' more than 'what to grab', so much fun, as long as you keep those steps, making a sub mod to offer more soaps from each crafting seems can fit more user.
or depends on container? for example, get 3 soaps by using buckets, 2 from large pots, 1 from small pots.

@747074170 thanks for feedback.
Ash icon becoming rifle from brittas is strange. Does it happen when item is on the ground, or in inventory?
I need to add some kind of 3d items. Mod was made before game had those. Im not great with graphics, so will try to look what i can reuse from vanilla.
Btw, do you feel that it would be better to get more soap from one crafting?

btw, camp fire doesn't required to be on fire while making ash.
pots are required to be filled in with water, but no mater how much.
i have no idea those are bugs or not, especially making soap while raining is a cool idea to someone who are not living besides river.
after all, it's troublesome but has much more fun than the simple one.
great mod!

ash's icon shows as a rife, i think it's from brita's weapon pack.
would you please considering to fix that?
