Variety Matters - More Compat

Description

This mod adds extra compatibility for Variety Matters with Vanilla Cooking Expanded and More Archotech Garbage.

The first thing this mod does is make desserts from Vanilla Cooking Expanded be treated as proper meals, so their ingredients will now be tracked (great if you have mods that introduce more fruits to be used!) - originally they were treated as simple meals, which means they didn't track the ingredients at all, which could cripple variety for frequent dessert eaters.

Second, gourmet meals from Vanilla Cooking Expanded and Archotech meals from More Archotech Garbage should now be treated as their own separate category, instead of being treated as lavish meals. This means that pawns will get more variety if they only eat them, and even more if they mix them with lavish meals.

All changes can also be toggled on/off in the mod options!

When loaded alongside the new Variety Matters Redux fork mentioned by the previous commenter, this mod prevents the dev-actions window from being opened at all.

When you attempt to open it, you get this exception: https://gist.github.com/ELLIOTTCABLE/0a0296b8a1ffe607374429642c94bbc4

There is a new fork of Variety matter which seems to address bug existing in the 1.4 Fork (like robot stuff), the guy planned to maintain this new version and add new feature so maybe you should swap / add this new fork as dependency ?

The issue seems to be the packageId :

1/ <packageId>Cozarkian.VarietyMattersImproved_1_4fork</packageId> does not work
2/ <packageId>Cozarkian.VarietyMattersImproved.14fork</packageId> however does (for example).

So this mod can't do anything about it. It would have to be the author of Variety Matters Improved(1.4 Fork) to change their packageId.

Another option would be to create a local copy of the two mods (with RimPy) like I did, and modify the two About/About.xml files yourself :

About.xml - Variety Matters Improved(1.4 Fork) [pastebin.com]
About.xml - Variety Matters - More Compat [pastebin.com]

@f it already lists the 1.4 as required for 1.4 version (while listing the original for 1.3). I believe it may be an issue with RimPy, where it follows its own rules while ignoring what the mod itself lists as a requirement.

By the way, I'm talking about mod dependencies from "About.xml" file, not the ones listed on Steam.

can you update the required items to "Variety Matters Improved(1.4 Fork)" its causing rimpy to give warnings. thanks for the update!

- Updated to 1.4 using Variety Matters Improved(1.4 Fork)
- (Both 1.3 and 1.4) Changed how the mod handles food - now it uses Def Extensions to give food special properties. Allows for more compatibility

Does this still work in 1.4?
[LUE]Polkunus Oct 22, 2022 @ 2:28am

Thx for considering

@Think3r oops, seems I forgot. Fixed it.

@Shavius I could look into it, just might take a while. Got a couple of other things I'm working on right now.
