Boxed Mac and Cheese

FeralFracture: This mod doesn't show colorblind options for plated Mac and Cheese. I have a really hard time telling regular and egg Mac and Cheese apart. Could you add letters to those?

Great mod! I would love to see the inclusion of needing to add milk and butter at the powder cheese stage. More realistic.

@RavenFires that is exactly why I added colorblind options to the pots, portions, and plated items in my mod. I would highly recommend trying them out, they offer a lot of visual clarity. I tried my best to differentiate the colors, but I also don't want to change the colors to the point that the food items don't visually look like what they're supposed to be.I will experiment with more contrasting colors or visual indicators when I update it further with another ingredient. Ultimately I would like to ensure that using colorblind options aren't necessary, but at the moment they offer extra clarity that can prove to be useful in the fast setting of overtime.
I'm uncertain why you weren't able to make a franchise. I'm currently loaded down with university work, but once that eases up I intend to jump back into working on improving and adding more things to my mod at that time.

@samsonrules2020 I like this mod, but I really want a bigger color difference between egg mac and cheese and normal. Twice I've failed because the colors weren't big enough difference. Like even a bright orange ring around the outside for regular or something.

I got into overtime and told it to make it a franchise but it didn't. Not sure if that's a mod issue or a plateup issue.

Thanks for making this though. It's perfect if the colors were easier to tell apart!

Quick question,

Mac and Cheese reminds me of pizza, which serves 4 servings, why do variant mac and cheeses cause a reduction in groups, while variant pizza don't? I feel like the variants do not need a reduction in groups. Just an observation but seemed odd.

@SamsonRules2020 - Apparently there was an update to KitchenLib, and that was causing some issues for a few ppl on different mods. My maid outfit is now fixed, and I checked and I can now see water in the pot. I haven't tried slicing cooked hot dogs yet, but I assume that's probably fixed as well since my problems did not start until after that update yesterday.

I absolutely love difficulty like that, so I definitely appreciate it! I always choose Mac & Cheese, it's by far my favorite dish mod thus far! I think you're doing a fantastic job with it!

@DisabledShota - I'm glad you're enjoying my mod! :) With the addition of the egg, the various mac and cheese mixes you can make becomes quite numerous and can become difficult if you take the final upgrade card which allows customers to order a combination of the egg and hot dog ingredients in addition to everything else. (That card requires you to unlock both egg and hot dog mac and cheeses already, so players have the option to deny an extra variant instead of getting it all dropped on them at once). I also do intend to add one more possible option ingredient to the mix. If players choose to unlock all the ingredients, 'AND' then unlock all the combinations as servable dishes, that would result in a *lot* of dish options. It would definitely be quite the challenge I don't think I see people being able to realistically handle, but who knows, someone might be up to the challenge. That's a bit down the road though, in the meantime enjoy what I've got setup now. :)

@Boba - Are you running any other mods in conjunction to my own? Some other mods may override the the visuals (ie the water in the pot) if they also have a recipe that includes water in the pot and are also coded in correctly that they don't display the water properly in their own mod. Try unsubscribing and resubscribing to make sure you have the latest version. I haven't altered the recipes for things such as the hot dog cutting and from my own testing, I can create all potted mixes as intended. Make sure the hot dog is cooked before attempting to slice it. Do let me know if any issues continue to occur.

Version 0.3.3
-Added proper colorblind tags for the respective mixed pots, servings and plated servings were already properly labeled prior to this update.
-> MC
-> MCe
-> MCh
-> MChe

Due to requests for clarity with the mixed pots of mac and cheese, I created redundant models in the assets to allow for each completed pot to have proper colorblind labels. Prior, the colorblind labels only labeled the pots with what sauce they had. (Egg and cheese with MCE, or just cheese with MC regardless of added hot dog), My intentions weren't intuitive, so now with this update each pot should have proper colorblind tags depending on what ingredient was added.
